Those of us who are past middle age
are prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit ime-salts in the
arteriesg veins and joints. We often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from govt, swollen
hands or feet. There is no longer the
slightest need of this, however, as the
new prescription, wAnuric," is bound
to give immediate results as it is many
times more potent than lithia, in Kidding
the impoverished blood of its poisona
by way of the kidneys. It can be OBJ
tanned at almost any drug store, by
simply asking for vAnuric" for kidneys
or backaehe. It will overcome such
conditions as rheumatism, dropsical
swellings, cold extremities, scalding and
burning urine and sleeplessness due to
constant arising from bed at night.

What must Germany pay for?

What must Germany pay fOr2
That question can be adequately an
swered only when it is remembered
that Germany started the terrible con-
hict in Europe for no reason other
than that Of conquest and loot; start
ed it only to satisfy the selfish ambi-
tons of selfish people for world
domination. That is being admitted
today by what is left of the German
nation; it IS admitted by those who
were directly responsible for the war.
And it is because Germany started
this conflict for no reason other than
that of conquest and loot that Ger
many owes to the world full payment
for all the devastation which the war
has brought, not only In so far as she
can pay now, but In so far as she can
pay for generations vet to come.
Among the many, many sections of
Belgium and northern France that /
personally covered, following closely
on the heels Of the retreating Hun
army, was that which lies between
what were the cities of YpreS and

Here, before the coming Of the invad-
ing Boche, was what was considered
the most productive soil of the world,
and the most intensely cultivated.
Here in a number of farm villages
lived the Belgian peasant families,

owned. No fences separated these

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
OF sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, :
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for In
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, a. many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know of
has SO large . SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
hllmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that so many people claim, it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and nentralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address

PLEASANT WAY ALWAYS BEST
Nothing Ever Lost by Effort to Take
Sting Out Of Request That Must
Be Refused.

Do you know how to take the sting
out Of anything unpleasant you have
to do? 1t is good plan to learn how
to do this.
"She said she couldn't do it, but you
know how Fife would say such.a thing.
She tries so hard to make everybody
feel pleasant. Now, when I say no,
people understand that mean no"
Marcia looked as well pleased with
herself as if she had announced more
amiable characteristic. She was a girl
with peculiarly blunt and uncom-
promising manner. If she refused a re-
quest, her refusal was as downright as
blow. 1t was never softened by any
little phrase suggesting regret. And
Marcia was so well satisfied with her
self that she felt something like con-
tempt for the way Effie took the sting
out of saying no, and made the people
to whom she refused favor as CRATE
full as If she had granted it.
The girl who starts to go through
life with her elbows out is going to
find the road hard to travel. If she
prides herself on being blunt and out
spoken, she may need to use that as
consolation for her sore heart many a
time. It pays to make even a refusal
pleasant. 1t pays to take out the sting
whenever possible, and drop in the
honey. One who starts out as Marcia
did, priding herself on being blunt, and
contemptuous of the little courtesies,
is likely to come to old age friendless
and embittered. Learn to be pleasant
and take out the sting Exchange.

CHAPTER XVIII.

"Pack Up Your Troubles"
We arrived at Swinemunde, on the
east bank, and after we had had our
drink of water and had been rousted
back into the bunkers, Badewitz went
across TO the west side in launch
with Joyce and Fill and a guard Of
sailors. They were to be shot the
next morning. with some others. at
public shootingsfest. The rest of US
wrapped ourselves in Jumps of coal as
best we could and tried to sleep.
In the morning crowds of Germans
came aboard us and were turned
loose on the boxes in the hold. 1t
was sight to see them rip of the
covers and gobble the salami and 9th
err stuff that we carried. Table man
ners are not needed when there is no

them, you would say these Germans

While they were at it, hand to hand

terrible punishment, we prisoners
were mustered on. deck, counted,
kicked onto tugs and transferred to

waiting for us. My wounds, as you
can imagine, were in a pretty bad
state by this time, and were getting

rOadways, and the families that culti-
waited the fields lived not on the little
farms but In closely built villages of
from 100 to 500 people each.
Devastation Is Complete.
It is hard to realize today that these
villages ever existed, that the land
along this long, straight road was ever
cultivated, ever produced foodstuffs
for people. In fact, it Is hard to-
realize today that this was ever an in
habited country.
OF these peaceful villages, the living
places of these farm people, there is
no trace left. There are not even piles
of debris, of broken brick and stone
and lumber, to mark the spots where
they stood. There is no single thing
by which the returning peasants, wear
lily dragging themselves back to that
spot which had been home to them and
to their ancestors for almost countless
generations, can mark the place where
not only their home but their village
had stood.
1 have seen old men and women,
wearied by four long years of exile,
stand beside THIS road and gaze long
ingly over the devastated landscape,
in an effort to locate some familiar OBJ
.ject that would remind them of the
spot they had known all their lives,
and then turn away with tears on their
cheeks because they could not find
even one small object that would tell
them of the homes, the only homes,
they had known.
It was German ambition, German
cruelty, German lust, German wanton-
ness, German brutality, that were the
cause of the destruction Of these
homes, Of the agonies Of peaceful,
thrifty people.
What can possibly compensate these
people for their loss, for the misery
they have suffered and must still suf-
fer. for the homes and the associations
that are gone forever? No. Germany
can never pay in full, but she can con-
tinue to pay and pay and pay until
there has been bred out of the German
people that desire for war, that love
of conquest, that brutality, that it has
taken centuries, almost, to breed into
them, and which has resulted in laying
a whole world waste.

If you are really big you will help
folks recover from their faults. Their
mistakes bring sorrow. Anything
that Injuries humanity hurts the race.
Every man made strong enough to
meet his own problems betters the
community. The help you give him
puts him under obligations to you.
The efforts you put forth in his be-
half make you stronger. The effects
may not be seen at once, but results
are bound to come. So put the soft
pedal on the talk about other mems
faults. Learn to avoid their failures.
Try to help them recover from past
errors and arm them against possible
repetition of them in the future. Play
life's game fairly and you can expect
from others a square deal most of the
time. You must be your best il you
would have others trust you. You
must be honest if you want the self
respect that helps man to success.

straight road, I am sure 1 did not see

once been the richest soil OF the

countless thousands of shells falling
actually one upon another, each dig

very subsoil has been turned over and
the land made worthless for cultiva-
ton for years to come, If indeed it can
ever be reclaimed.
Unexploded Shells Buried In Soil.
There lie today on the surface Of
this land many thousands Of unex-

the soil many, many thousands more.

farmer who attempts to put a plow

And this land is destroyed, as the

German lust, Of German wantonness

Who is to pay for it? Who is to

it may serve the purposes of the hui

peasants, who had no part in the start

without compensation? Shall these
peasants who have endured more than
four long years Of homeless agonies,
who have suffered not alone the loss
of homes and land but the loss Of
relatives and friends as well, be the
ones to risk destruction in the effort

along this long, straight road between
Ypres and Menin, they would say, as
i say, it is the German who must pay !;
it is the German who must risk de-
struction in the effort to put this land
again into condition for cultivation.
I believe that one condition of the
peace treaty should be that Germany,
either as one nation,sor proportionately
from the several small nations that
may be formed out of the German en-
pire, should call its military classes to
the colors each year as it has done in
the past: but in place of putting guns
into the hands On these men, and train
ing them for the purposes of war-a
war of conquest 1t should put
these men into the territories she has
devastated, to reclaim the soil and to
rebuild the villages, the towns and
cities the Huns have destroyed. Let
these Germans, under guard of Bel
gian troops, take the risk Of destruc-
ton; let them guide the pillow that may
strike the unexploded shell, and let
Germany pay them the meager wagon
of the German soldier while they are
doing this.
Should Pay and Pay and Pay.
That would be the nearest thing to
an accounting that Germany can rem
der to the world, but she shouldspay
all that it is humanity possible for
people to pay who have so ruthlessly
despoiled the world Her people should
pay and pay, and pay, until they have
learned beyond the shadow of a doubt
that war for the purpose Of conquest,
for the purpose of loot, for the graft
fication of selfish ambitions, is the
most improbable business they could
possibly engage in.
And remember that the devastation
to be seen along the road from Ypres
to Menin is but an example of all the
terrible destruction to be found
throughout Belgium and northern
France and Serbia and other countries
that have been overrun by the con-
quest-seeking armies of the Boche.
And remember, too, that it is not alone
the devastation that is to be paid for,
but it is the work and the tears and
the economic loss of every nation that
was called into the struggle to defeat
the selfish purposes Of selfish peo-
pie, that the world might be decent
place in which free men might live.

THE AMERICAN LEGION

This paper earnestly hopes that the
movement to enlist all soldiers in the
great war in the organization which
has been very appropriately named
the American Legion. If it can be
kept free from politics, made simply
a great patriotic organization devoted
tc perpetuating our democratic form
of government, it could be made bull
wark against the irridescent fads and
fancies of the impractical idealists as
we'll as the |. W. W., Bolshevists and
Socialists. There is no question but
that with rare exception the returned
soldiers, as well as those who failed
to get across, believe that this gov
eminent is worth perpetuating; that
even if it is not perfect it is yet the
best on earth, and that by pursuing
sane methods Their is hope thaht we
may continue to improve conditions.

STRIKE FOR DEBS?

Debs' threat that there will be
strike of miners on May in compli-
ance with a call sent out by him so
far bears little weight. He declares
that the strike will begin on the day
he enters the penitentiary and will
continue until he is released.
There have been some threats by
Debs' followers that there will be
bolshevist uprising if he goes to the
penitentiary, starting with Indiana
miners. District officials of the mine
workers claim that they know nothing
of this, however.
The truth of the matter is that the
public, organized labor included, is
getting tired of sympathetic strikes.
The threatened strike for Mooney has
blown exceedingly cold, and it is not
likely that the majority of the rank
and file can be aroused to any sacrifice
of wages for Debs.
