AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS

The symptoms of kidney and bladder
troubles are often very distressing and
leave the system in a rundown condition.
The kidneys seem to suffer most, as al
most every victim complains of lame back
and urinary troubles which should not be
neglected, as these danger signals often
lead to more dangerous kidney troubles.

many people say, soon heals and strength
ems the kidneys, is a splendid kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, and, being
an herbal compound, has a gentle heal
ing effect ON .he kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who use it.
A trial will convince anyone who may
be in need of it. Better get bottle from

The Pacifist as a
War Worker
BY MINNIE BOYER CAVIS
of The Vigi0nfes

Some were pacifists before the war.
Some of these have changed while 9TH
ers-well for instance, my friend-or
rather my former friend, Miss B. She
never did believe in war. When Bel
GUM was invaded and the Hun fe-
rOciOuSly bayoneted babies and violat-
ed little girls she still refused to be-
lleve in war. To some OF us war seem
ed the most horribly apparent fact in
the world, but still she did not believe
In 1t. She was pacifist; and q paci-
fist, MS near as | can tell, seems to be
cne who has resolved to ignore war
as long as the war does not hurt them.
She had been for years, and is still, a
state employee, and at times she has
been social worker one of those we'll
meaning persons who believe that one
part of society is qualified to reach
down and lead by the hand certain
more unlucky parts of society to show
them the way they should go.
Up TO the last minute of the last
hour before the war vote was taken my
former friend maintained that we had
nc cause for war and there was no,
possibility that we would ever be in
the war. Just what went on in her
mind when we took up our stern task
OF checking the advance of the Hun I
cannot guess and she has never told.
l wondered if she would stick to her
principles and fight for them. | no.
ticed that she bought bonds and sub
sCribed to the Red Cross. She may
have been one of those who would give
to the Red Cross because In doing so
She was not helping the war. Other
pacifists have said as much. but even
their tainted" money will help.
At Red Cross Headquarters.
Later | learned that my former
friend had gone to Washington, spend
ing her vacation as a clerical helper in
Red Cross headquarters. Then | be-
lieyed that she had been regenerated
and was no longer pacifist We had
been pretty stiff about the time war
was declared owing to our different
views, but I now felt free to write and
tell her to find place for me to work
also. Her reply amazed me. She wrote
that Washington was too crowded a

ON TO BERLIN!
By HENRI CHAPELLE
of the ViqiIantes.

Our boys cover there" write home as
on Berlin some day. Is this merely a
delusion encouraged in them to keep
them in heart for fighting? Perish the
thought Their sIangy "can the kais-
err expresses an intention as serious
as that of the Crusaders and we ought
not to dream of thwarting them by
diplomatic action.
ANY talk of peace, by the way, re-
calls the fact that such treaties must
be based on confidence in the word OF
the parties involved, and that our gov
eminent has expresSed.a certain dis
approval of trying 70 deal with a pO-
Iitical coterie that sees in treaties only
80 scrap of paper" If 1t now met
these same officials Mt conference
table. entering into any compact with
them would at once acknowledge their
honorable and legitimate standing as
governmental representatives. How,
after that, could this government en-
courage the people of Germany TO dis
place them as unworthy and to estab-
lish more democratic government? I'M
possible
The only place where we can help
democracy in Germany is the field of
battle. We can there capture or kill
the guilty individuals or by straight
CONQUEST of territory drive them to an
unconditional surrender. We could
then hold them prisoners while we
called for newly elected representa-
tives of the German people 10 treat
with us for lasting peace. Our boys
are simple and courageous enough to
expect to do just that. They are gal
LIANT fighters enough TO do it, If we
back them by saying, con to Berlin ="

anywhere. Living was too high to
save any money. She had written all
the expert stenographers who had APP
piled to her for advice that they should

deed the most patriotic thing that Ne

was Just crying for stenographerS.
She was coming back tO~raise garden

Willing to put up with some incon-

reply l received such a torrent of
abuse and accusation that caused me to
understand that a pacifist will fight
and fight in mighty nasty way if
crossed in anything. My pacitist ac-
Quaintance has now returned to her
state job. Her war service consisted
In keeping a number of very efficient
workers away from Washington and
they in turn no doubt kept others
away. The epithet-"council of of
fense"-she applied to me, merely con-
vinces me that a pacifist in war work
needs watching Or he may help the
enemy instead of his own country.
