RENEWED TESTIMONY

No one in Ironton who suffers back
ache, headaches, or distressing urin-
ary ills can afford to ignore this Iron
ton mans twice told story. 1t is con-
firmed testimony that no Ironton
resident can doubt.
j. Hendley, photographer, Main St.,
says: II was feeling run down and
had sharp twinges and weakness
across the small of my back. My
kidneys acted irregularly too. When
| heard about Doan's Kidney Pills
made up my mind to try them and got
supply at the Arcadia Valley Drug

ment and since using them I have felt
no sign of backache or other kidney
disorders
Mr.. Hendley gave the above state
ment in December, 1905, and on July
IL, 1916, he added: "Ihave very little
bother with my kidneys now. Others
of my family have also used Doan's
Kidney Pills with satisfactory re-
suits"

THE following from letter to the
Post Dispatch is in part so in ac-
cord with my own conviction that 1
reproduce it:
I believe that Socialism is the logi-
cal result of the way our Government
is being run at present. The trusts
are allowed to dictate to the Govern
ment and to boost prices of neces-
sites way above all reason or justifi-
cation. Food profiteers are allowed
free rein to bleed the public shame
fully. Socialism, believe, is also the
outcome of resentment on the part of
the common people against the stead
lily increasing trend of legislators to
enact laws depriving the people of
the rights and personal liberty guar
anteed (?) them by the Constitution
of the United States. Is our Con-
stitution scrap of paper only, that
can be repudiated at the will of our
legislators and without giving the
people chance TO voice their senti-
ment?

Additional Travel Allowance for Discharg
ed Soldiers.

The Director of Finance having
practically completed payment of the
$4,000 bonus, involving about ], 400, 600
claims, is now settling additional
travel allowance due enlisted men Of
the Army under Section of the Act
approved February % 1919, which
authorized travel pay to enlisted men
honorabiy discharged since NoYem-
Der IL, 1918, at the rate of cents per
mile to actual bona fide home or
residence, or place of original muster
into service, at the option of the
soldier.
The Comptroller of the Treasury by
decisions rendered April II and May
8, 1919, has authorized the War De-
partment to make settlement of all
claims for the IL cent difference from
place of discharge to place of entry
into the military service, also the
claims for additional allowance to
actual bona fide home or residence
at date of discharge when such bona
fide home or residence can be deter
mined from the affidavit of the SOL
der and verified by information con-
tanned in his original service record.
The Zone finance Officer, Washington,
D. O., has been designated to settle
these claims with the above restric
tions.
A blank form Of application, which
includes the necessary affidavit for
the additional travel allowance, may
be obtained from Home Service Sec
retary A. r. G.

New Diseases of Wheat Combated by
Government.

WASHINGTON, d. O.-Experts of the
Department of Agriculture have dis
covered and are now combating the
the spread of two diseases of wheat
which have appeared for the first
time in this country in Madison Coun-
ty, Illinois. The first of these is a
disease apparently indentieal with the
"take-all" or "white -heads" known
in many foreign countries. The
second is flag smut, which is a serious
plague in Australia and Japan.
The Department of Agriculture an
nounces that although these new
cases may cause heavy losses to
individual farmers, the total area like
ly to be affected before eradication
or control is accomplished will not be
significant.
An agent of the Department re-
ported the presence of these diseases
and promptly representatives OF the
experiment station were sent to in
vestigate. The diseases were identi-
fed and measures to prevent their
extension were taken Immediately.
At the same time Investigations were
undertaken in other sections to de-
tect and fight the diseases if they
should appear.
Before the discovery of these di-
,seases the Department of Agriculture
had conducted hearings with view
of prohibiting the importation. of seed
wheat from Australia, Japan, India
and practically the whole of Europe,
and quarantine regulations were be-
ing prepared when the reports were
received from Illinois. The early
precautions will check the further
Introduction and prevalence of the
diseases,

How miserably partisan are those
Republicans who are deveavoring to
thwart the efforts of the President to
bring on an era of universal peace,
and to eliminate from the world the
horrors of war. He has labored un-
selfishly and patriotically for the bet
terment of mankind, and for the first
time in history an agreement hat
been adopted, calculated to include
ultimately all the nations of the world
and to arrange international affairs
not in accordance with the outworn
doctrines of another age, but in har-
mony with the principles of human
justice applicable equally to the
great and to the small. That an
American President is engaged in
this work should move every Ameri-
can heart, irrespective of party
affiliation or personal prejudice, to q
fervent prayer that he may succeed in
his great task.

Of the country than all other diseases

THEY had lynching at Lamar last
week and our brethren of the city
press are duly Mortified, as is proper
to all law abiding people. The man
suffering at the hands of the mob had
been q prisoner In the jail at Lamar
and in an effort to escape had cruelty
killed the sheriff and his son. The
murderer was tried and-under our
namby pamby law-was given life
sentence, the utmost punishment that
could be meted him. 1t is deplorable
that the members of any community
take law lawlessly into their own
hands, but there is no effect without
cause. If by the administration Of
law the adequate punishment Of the
murderer was made swift and sure
there would be no lynching, nor de-
sire for lynching. And murder would
be gratifyingly rare. The st. Louis
Republic says; 'sThe statement has
been made by by some that the lynch
ing at Lamar was due to the fact that
Missouri no longer has capital punish
ment. That is piffie. What about the
lynchings in this State when judicial
hangings were in full swing? Punish
the Lamar lynchers and make Mis-
souri, safe for the law" 1t is true there
were lynchings while the death PEN
atty was on our statute book, but by
the legal machinery go adjusted and
employed as to give the murderer
the utmost assurance of escape and
his victim the minimum OF protection
it was too rare that the punishment
was made to fit the crime. Still the
shadow Of the gallows menaced him
who wantonly or viciously shed the
blood OF his fellowman and often re-
strained his hand. That menace re.
moved, Is it any wonder that capita
crimes multiply? Not one "life" SEN

To Remove Smoke Stains.

This suggestion will be beneficial to
housewives who have not the conven-
ience of electricity or the modern gas
fixtures. Frequently the ceiling above
an old-fashioned gas jet becomes dis.
colored from smoke and heat. The
discoloration may be removed if a
layer Of starch and water is applied
with piece of flannel. After the mix
ture has dried it should be brushed
lightly with a brush. No stain or
mark will remain.

THE churches are meddling in poll
tics these days, and evil will come of
it. There is but little consolation in
the thought that, in the end, they

piety is crime against Him whom
the church processes to serve: it
proscribes honest thought and action
and puts a premium upon hypocrisy.

THE Republican National Commit
tee Chairman is generally a great
mana man of wonderful resources.
1t will be remembered he elected
Hughes President in 1916-for a few
feeting hours. His will was limited
by his power, fortunately, though
some people feared for time that we
were about to have duplication Of
the Hayes -Tilden Presidential theft of
1876. But in his place now is a live
wire chairman Hays, and very much
is he onto his job. His latest move
was the attempted utilization of the
Chatauquas to G. 0. p. purposes. To
put it in his own words, in letter
sent to his trained agents: "We
want to get as many Republican
speeches made in the next eighteen
months as possible. = : All these
speeches, of course, will not be under
direct Republican auspices, but we
are enlisting the help of thousands of
public speakers in order that they
may, as occasions arise, use Republi-
can matter in whatever kind
of speech they may be making. ~
But the scheme has come to naught,
the heads of the Chatauquas, upon
being put next, setting their feet down
on it. The scheme is squelched, but
Mr.. Hays versatility is established,
and brilliant-fashes from his prolific
brain may be confidently prognosti-
Gated.

RISKS LIFE TO SAVE
OTHERS IN CRASH
1.
Brakeman Prevents Runaway
Cars From Plunging Into
Crowd of Churchgoers
81 CARS IN THE COLLISION

Bravery and presence Of mind OF
brakeman who, stuck to his post is
credited with having averted loss Of life
In a crash of thirty two freight cars in
the Reading yard at Palmer street and
Frankford avenue.
The crash occurred yesterday as the
streets alongside the yard were con
gested by persons returning from
church. Edward Robinson, the brake
man. stuck to his post on the rear end
of n train of twenty two heavily loaded
freight cars. and succeeded in slowing
their progress so much that when the
;mpact finally came the pedestrians we're
not injured. -,
The cars were loaded with lumber
and heavy machinery. Robinson was
tbe only brakeman on the train when
II began its wild trip down the steep
incline of the yard.
Running from car to car, he set the
brakes and reached the rear end OF the
train lust before it plunged into train
of ten empty cars standing in the yard.
lust before the crash Robinson jumped
and escaped injury.
The heavy train ran right on through
the empties. One of the loaded cars
was thrown thirty FIVE feet in the air
by the impact. The lumber was splin =
tered into small pieces and much Of the
valuable machinery was bent up like
so many hairpins.
Fad 1t not been for Robinson's brav :
cry, railroad men said, the cars would
have plunged out onto the street into
the crowds passing the yard.
