Weak Kidney Make
Weak Bodies.
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills OF ShepherdsOwn People.

AS one weak link weakens a chain.
so many weak kidneys weaken the
whole body and hasten the final break
ing-dOwn.
OverwOrk, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and .gener-
ally when their activity is lessened
the whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills frequently come, and there
is an ever-increasing tendency towards
dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's disease,
When the kidneys fail there is no real
help for the sufferer except kidney
help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys. Shepherdstown tesh-
mony is proof OF their effectiveness. .

Under the Yoke.

In the museum of the State House
in Topeka, Kansas, there is an old OK
yoke that has evidently served out its
time. Perhaps il was used in the days
when the old Santa Fe Trail was still
used. As you stand before il you won-
der how many trips II may have made
across the frairies and the mountains
on the swaying necks OF the oxen and
what stories il could tell il il were
given ! mouth 10 SPEAK.
The yoke is for serves, and We Itr-
orally t. nix Of the n4rIShipS connected
with il. We think of the weigh. of the
yoke across the neckS Jf the draf; ami
mails, Of the sores that are caused by
the constant rubbing. and of the rough,
ccllous places thst c)me under the
heavy croSSpiece We think OF the
long stretches Of the trail that the
heavily loaded "Drairie Schooners"
must have measured OF day after day.
We think of the ram, days when the
trail was slippery and the wheels sank
deep down into the soft earth. We
think OF the rocky sleeps where the
oxen struggled upward step by step,
patiently doing their best. We can al
most hear the rough curses of the dri-
verS and feel the sharp soad or the
heavy whip.
But that is not the whole story that
the yoke can tell. IL can tell OF service
we'll done: loads of merchandise drawn
across the plains and mountains to
those who were in need, families trans
ported 10 their new homes. farmers
with their ploughS and harrowS, miners
with their picks and Shovels, architects
and engineers and workmen taken TO
new country to lay out farms and cities.
1t can tell of the wonderful sights in
the strange, new lands and OF the view
from the mountain top, after you have
struggled up the long. hard trail.
It can tell of comradeship in service.
The yoke is made for two. The deS-
perately hard pulls are not made alone,
but side by side with another. The
young OK is put with the old, and he
learns TO pull and to turn and to obey
the commands of the driver by work
ing side by side with the old OK that
knows the ways of the yoke we'll
a yoke means learning TO pull to-
gether." II means discipline. IL
means some hardships, Of course. IL
also means service accomplished that
is worth while. II means rest after the
long journey is ended.
Jesus says, Take my yoke upon
you and learn of me- Let us be true
yokefellows with Jesus and learn OF
Him the ways of life's service that we
may know better how 10 enter into the
companionship of service with our fell
low men Let us learn 10 pull togeth-
err" to endure hardships, TO bear with
the discipline of life and to be satisfied
with work we'll done.
Scars Of the yoke, when gained in
service with and for our fellow men,
are honorable scars, and tell the story
of life we'll lived.

WHO WON THE WAR?

Who won the war? In my opinion
God Almighty won the war. That IS
the only way can account for the de-
feat of the boches. BY all the laws
of odds and fortune Germany ought
to have beaten France decisively in
1914. Time after time in the years
that followed she had victory within
her grasp and let it slip. There is no
way of accounting for her. colossal
mistakes except by divine interven-
ton. The Allies blundered and dub
bed and committed mistake after sick
ening mistake; that Cermany's Should
have been even more costly is beyond
human capacity for error. And so it
looks to me as though Providence took
care of the Allies. Hard-headed mill
tary men without much religion in
their makeup have said the same thing
to me. What happened is beyond other
explanation.
The British Fleet, the French, British
and Russian Armies saved civilization
through four long years of war. But
God Almighty won it and the United
States was most certainly His instru-
ment to give the finishing strokes

One hundred years ago the ingenious
and efficient wife of New York black
smith made for her husband the first
detachable collar, so that she would
not have to wash his shirts so often as
when shirt and collar were in one
piece. The Rev. Ebenezer Brown, min
lister of the church that the blacksmith
attended, liked the idea so well that
when he retired from the ministry ten
years later he established a small
factory to make detachable collars.
Thus began an industry that in a cen
fury has grown to tremendous size.

Salvation Army Drive.

The drive will begin on May ~ and
close May 20. Efforts to organize
county have already been made. The
treasurer and chairman have been Sc
lected-both draftees. Teams have
been selected throughout the county,
on account of their mettle and fitness
and in the belief they can pass any
draft board on earth or above it. The
name heading each list below is the
captain, unless the team itself should
elect otherwise.
Please make all the noise possible.
Armies usually do, particularly the
Salvation Army. Pull together, with
what Kipling calls "the everlasting
team work." and we'll get the allotted
one thousand dollars and more.
1t is the question of the heart and
the dollar. Please remit direct to Mr..
L. c. Albin, treasurer, Farmers and
Merchants Deposit Company, Charles
Town.
The ministers of the county are ask
ed to bring the matter before their
congregations as it is familiar theme,
and religion that they teach and
practice. Good four-minute talks will
be made before the movies.
Let this be the toast of the cam
paign: The Salvation Army Lassie! !
She pitched her tent near the trenches
that she might be near the boys-to
share their suffering, to encourage
them in their sacrifices and TO make
them doughnuts and hot coffee; but

The urgent need of thorough
cleaning up at Calvary cemetery
has prompted the ladies' of St..
Benedict's Catholic church to give
a dinner at their building in the
village next Sunday. May 18th, at
~ o'clock, for the purpose of
raising tue necessary funds to
carry on this work. There is at
present a fund on hand amounting
to $4,000, but owing to the de-
plorable condition of the cemetery
and the amount of work necessary
to put it in proper shape, the
amount of $4,000 now on hand
will not be sufficient, so the ladies
have decided to raise an additional
amount by serving good dinner
at a reasonable charge Sunday,
May 18th.
If you are hungry next Sunday
noon don't fail to drop in at the
church building in the village. the
ladies guarantee to appease your
appetite for the small sum of sc
cents.
