"CAN I BE
CURED?" ASKS
THE SUFFERER

How often have you heard that
sad cry from the victims of disease.
Perhaps the disorder has gone too
far for help, but oftener it is just
in it's first stages, and the pains and
aches are only natures first cries
for help. Do not despair. Find out
the cause and give nature all the
help you can and she will repay
you with health. Look after the
kidneys. The kidneys are the most
overworked organs of the human
body, and when they fail in their
work of filtering and throwing off
the poison that constantly accumu-
lates in the system, everything goes
wrong. GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil
Capsules will give almost immedi-
ate relief from kidney and bladder
troubles and their kindred all
from pain in short order. But be

Taft Upholds Covenant,
Assails Its Opponents,
in Western Address

Portland, Ore, Feb. H.-Forlner
President William Howard Taft in a
set speech todoy, predicted that the
Senote will ratify "the great cove
nant OF Paris" He characterized OBJ
jections of some of its opponents as
'reactiona7y."
"On the whole, we should thank
God that such a great advance toward
suppression of war and promotion of
permanent peace has been taken in
the agreement on this constitution, &"
he declared.
Mr.. Taft addressed the Northwest
ern Congress for a league of nations.
rs it possible that a feature of the
treaty upon which fourteen nations,
through their representatives at Paris
agree, is to be defeated by lack of
the necessary two-thirds' vote in our
Senate? I think not" Taft said.
Regarding the objection of Senator
Poindexter that the constitution min
imizes the sovereignty of the United
States, Mr.. Taft said:
THAT is a reactionory doctrine that
belongs to the German view of the
state. 1t leads directly to the pro-
posal that might makes right"

OWENS CHARGES
Mud in Plenty at Brest, He
Says, But Troops Health
Is Good "

Z Secretary of War Baker yesterday
commented at length on some of the
statements made by Senator Owen
on his return to the United States
from a tour of Europe, whehe he
studied conditions of the American
soldiers, especially at Brest, and the
means of transporting them home.
The Secretary dealt principally
with the Senator's remarks with re-
gard to the slowness in getting ad-
ditonal ships and crowding at the
camps. As to the slow movement.
Mr.. Baker said:
with that / have the fullest
sympathy. l think, however. that
the Senator did not have in mind
just what we are doing along this
line"
The Secretary's remarks indicated
that he did not believe the Senator
knew the War Department now is
converting fifty cargo ships into
troop transports; that arrangements
have been perfected to get a num-
Der of German ships; that the Hol-
land-America line will furnish the
New Amsterdam and a few other
ships to be used westward for
troops, and that the Navy Depart
ment is furnishing a large number
of it's war vessels for transportation
purposes.
Referring to the Senator's criti-
cisms of crowding at camps, Secre-
tary Baker declared this might be
accounted for by a congestion OF
railways in France. where the gov
ernment is using it's own railways
for rehabilitation.
1.-THE mud seems to be our big trou-
BILE there" he said, but Mrs. Mary
Roberts Rinehart, who was in Brest
not long ago, was in to see me, and
gave me a circumstantial account OF
conditions at that place. She said
there was Il great deal of mud, but
very little bad health"
