Of Doan's Kidney Pills.

DEBORAH is no exception Every
section of the II. s. resounds with
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. Fifty
thousand persons are giving testi-

THE AGE OF PRESIDENTS.

New York Sun: OF the twenty
five presidents of >the United
States who have died only twelve
reached the age allotted to man by
the psalmist. Only one, John
Adams, reached fourscore and ten,
and no president since John Quincy
Adams has lived to be so years old.
The three oldest presidents were the
immediate successors of Washington,
and it so happened that from that
mans death on Dec, IA, 1893, to
July A, 1826-in the administration
of the sixth PRESIDENT day when
both John Adams and Thomas JEFF
|erson expired, the nation was not
grieved by the passing of a former
chief executive. There was no ma
tional mourning from 1850, when
Taylor died, until 1862, a year which
saw the earthly end of both Tyler
and Van Buren,; and none from the
death of Cleveland in 1908 until the
present days of grief.
Taken according to longevity, the
table of our departed presidents Of
ferJ an interesting sequence:

A GREAT HISTORIC CHARACTER
Men of All Political Faiths VII Re'
gret Passing of Theodore Roose-
welt.

When one of our great Americans
passes into history, old animosities
soften down. Our political differences
do not go deep. And so men OF all
political faiths will regret the pass
ing of Theodore Roosevelt.
Even those whose point of view
was most antagonized by his yirile
personality, will feel that he had
many qualities that our young men
should emulate He was for one thing
the exponent of the idea of frankness
and openness in politics. He came on
at a period of underground and UNI
derhand public life, when the affairs
of the nation and state we're fixed up
in quiet corners by whispering and
double dealing politicians,
Roosevelt was leader in new
style of political conduct. His theory
was to say what you mean and mean
what you say, to express opinions
frankly and openly, call spade a
spade. He believed in taking your
case direct to the people. looking to
the people for support rather than to
the devious ways of underground
politics.
In this style of action his success
affected our entire public life. The
public has come to demand that
policy of frank, open showdown.
Politics have come out more into the
open, and gum shoe work is more
discredited through his influence.
The thoughtful biographer VIII
find many faults. Most of us have
seriously disagreed with him at one
time or another. But we can all emu
late Mr.. Roosevelt's ideal of earnest
public service.
He has given his life to efforts TO
advance the welfare of his country
as he saw it. IL we can all share some
measure of this devotion, all be will
ing TO give time and effort to public
causes as he was from early YOUTH
our nation will feel a great advance
of civil ideals.

$4,000 LIVES 0. $. FIRE TOLL.
Cause Property Loss of Approxinl.
ately S25O,O0O,0OO.

Fires in the United States take an
annual toll of more than 5000 lives
and cause a property loss of APP
proximately .$250.000, 900, according
to statistics at conference in New
York last week between represen-
tatives of the Fire Marshals' Associa-
ton of North America and the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters.
Col. James R. Young, insurance COM
missioner and fire marshal of North
Carolina, added that most of the per-
sons killed or burned to death were
women and children.
T.. Alfred Fleming of Columbus,
o., president of the Fire Marshals'
Association, reported that more than
so per cent of the fire prevention.
orders issued by states had been
obeyed and that more had been ac-
complished in the last two years
toward reducing fire waste than in
the ten preceding years.
Terming newspaper reporters ma
chine guns" and editors heavy artil-
lery" in the fight against fire, he con-
tinued: THE finest asset for a fire
marshal is friendly press. Newspa-
pers are most eager to give facts IL
told real conditions. Newspaper men
are sharp. They are also loyal. They
know whether or not we are four
flushing or whether we are playing
square. Public sentiment is nodded
in/printer's ink. Therefore, the more
said in the papers about carelessness
and its cure, the easier it is to con-
vince the public that something must
be done at once to stop our needless
and enormous fire waste
Mr.. Fleming urged the appoint
ment of director of publicity and
education by the underwriters.

Better Than job in Munitions Plant

Wartime jobs in munitions plants
at So to rs or $50 a day, were con-
sidered soft and workers in ship
yards were classed as exceptionally
we'll paid laborers, but Iowa, always
first, affords even greater opportuni-
ties, altho the corn-fed Iowan knows
the munitions plants only from maya
zine article descriptions and has but
a hazy idea of the character of a
ship yard.
But even the most expert munition
makers or ship yards craftsman ac-
customed as they were to, extrava-
giant prices, ever dreamed of knock
ing out $7.04 a day.
\. A Marshall county farmer, living
near Gilman, worked thirty minutes
on job which required no special
training and no money investment,
tand received for his labor $44.
q Technically, the line of work in
which he was engaged might have
been classed as pole cat extermina-
ton, and so proficient was the labor
er in his peculiar line that he COM
pleted one job, removing one entire
family from its hole, in half an hour
He brought the eleven skins to this
! city and received check for $44.
The check was turned over to local
cIothier in payment of $3.50 fur

NEW TEST FOR COMPENSATION.
Young Awards Damages to IIlegiti-
mate Child.

Sioux City, IA newquestion for
authorities of the workman's COM
pensation law to interpret is to- be
the outgrowth of the collapse Of the
Ruff drug store building, June 20,
1915, when thirty-nine persons lost
their lives. The question is whether
an illegitimate child can claim de-
tendency where the father lost his
life while at work.
The case is brought in the inter-
est of a 1O-yeaHold boy alleged to
be the illegitimate son of tailor
working in the Ruff building and who
lost his life in the collapse or fire
that followed. The ease was arbitra-
ted here few days ago by Deputy
Industrial Commissioner Young, who
reached a decision in favor of the
child.
1t was shown that up to few
weeks before the death of the fa-
Their he had contributed SIS a week
to the support of the child. At that
time the mother married another
man and took the child with her,
but it was shown the father was still
willing to contribute and would have
done so had he known where the
child was and had he been in posi-
ton to do so.
The compensation law in men
tioning who are dependents refers
to stepparents and adopted children,
but no part of it is made directly APP
plicable to this case.

The animal proved to be what is

speciman of the common lynx which
had drifted from it's habitat in the.

CHEER UP.

Now let us all be happy
The war is over now,
The Kaiser had to quit
And meekly to us bow.
The clique of bloody "lunies"
Now have to leave their seat
And hide among the bushes;
We even took their fleet.
The common German people
They did not want the war
But their tricky war lords
We're rotten to the core.
They forced the best of boys
From mother, home and wife
And for the crazy Kaiser
They had to give their life.
Thanks to the loyal Germans
That fought SO brave and true
For the Spangled Banner
The red, the white, the blue.
They surely were no slackers
They stood for peace and right
To crush the kaiserism
And stop its bloody might.
Union and liberty
VIII spread around the world
So the fighting pea-cocks
Now have to quit their quarrel.
They know that our Banner
Will stand for law and right.
And the U. S. boys
Are pretty hard to fight.
Now let us be like brothers
I,
And keep the smaller nations
From robbery and fright.
Then will we all be happy
And live in friendly peace
And travel without danger
On land and on the seas.
No one Judge another
His religion or creed,
But keep the Ten Commandments
Then God himself will lead,
Free us from war and sorrow
That greedy men have brought
Because they left their maker
And little of him thought.
Honor to the mothers
Who lost their lovely boy,
They feel so sad and lonesome,
There seems to them no JOY.
Now cheer up soldier mothers
Your boys fought and won,
They saved the flag and country,
We were not over-run.
We hope the Allies settle
The questions now on hand
That Union and Liberty
For evermore will stand.
Then will we mould the cannons
In statues for the brave
Who lost their lives on battlefields
To make the nation safe.

Inc average age at winch the
presidents took Office was 55, and
the average period of their lives
after that was fifteen years. So, in
way, the psalmist scores after all.
for the average age of these upright
men was 20.
The first Harrison was the oldest
American to be elected president and
the most brief in service. Roosevelt
was the youngest to enter the White
House, and of the five who died
younger than he three were the vic
Tins of assassins. Looking back upon
his unquenchable youth of spirit it
seems almost impossible to realize
that his years were longer than those
of Lincoln and Mckinley. But with
Roosevelt years We're nothing. He
measured time by deeds.

Twenty-two Juneau Empire newsies and carriers gave plenty of evidence last night that they were out for a good time. They were guests of The Empire and the first, thing on the program was to see "Sixshooter An dy," at the Palace, and it was as though a full-fledged Kansas cyclone had been turned loose.
 Next came the "eats" at the Alaska Cafe. Col Garrett the chef, has prepared banquets for royal people, but never exercised more care than he did in preparing the "eats for de kids" and the way Young America waded into things showed that they appreciated the Coloners art.
 Mrs. William Britt, Mrs. John W Troy and "Billee" Taylor were alsc kept busy looking after the wants of the boys. In the midst of fes tivities in walked Charles Emrick and Harvey Thompson with more good things, which were also depos ited on the long table around which the boys were arranged.
