Their and thus to withstand those
who seek to prosecute the war still
further"
Declaring that before he would re-
ply to the note he must have a clear
understanding of the military position
of Germany, the Chancellor placed
before the military officers present a
series of questions. To his inquiry
as to how many Americans were
reaching France each month the an
swers were as follows:
Colonel HErE-The average of
last month was 100000.
General LUDESDoRFF-In April.
May and June the average was
$4,000.
The Chancellor-How great will
the strength of the American Army
be by next spring7
Colonel HEYE-The American COM
mand figures the present strength
at 100000. For next spring they
estimate 100000"
The significance of this lay in the
fact that has just been disclosed that
Germany could not furnish more than
10000 men a month, many OF whom
were not fitted for service, and II the
nation was to supply the 100000 men
demanded by General LUDENDoRFF for
supreme effort on the western front
il would be unable to furnish the
normal monthly quota. 1t was also
shown that troops could not be trans
ferred from the eastern front to the
western because Of the danger of the
encroachment of Bolsheyism and the
demoralizing effect the troops from
Russia would have upon the better
disciplined troops on the French front.
Another fear that haunted Germany
was expressed by Secretary of State
ssoHEIDEkAEE:
'The very length of the war has
tired the people-and then the block
ade, food troubles and the falling
away Of our allies. The worlmen
are saying: Rather an end with
terrors than terrors without end"
At the conference Of the Secretaries
on NoyembeS 8 General GR0NER made
the address which practically decided
the action Of the German Government
In this he showed that the Germans
had on the western front only fifty.
eight divisions in reserve. while their
opponents had ninety-six, and fur.
thermore, that the average strength
Of the Trench battalion was 600
Of the English about 700, the Ameri-
can 1900, while with us It has de
clIned as low as 500" With such q
lack OF reserves he declared 1t was
not only dificult but practically i'm.
possible to hold our present position
permanently"

Saturday, October II, is the last
day which candidates in The
Pioneers campaign can get 100000
of extra votes that are offered on
$25 clubs of collections and candi-
dates are busily engaged in gather
ing subscriptions of various lengths
in order to build clubs. Candidates
are beginning to discover how easy it
is to make club of $25 and thereby
secure an additional 100000 besides
the regular votes to which each sub
scription is entitled.
As long as subscriptions are three
months or longer, they may be in
cluded in the clubs. When the num-
Der of subscriptions is sufficient to
total $25 a club is formed, and for
each club a ballot Of 100000 extra
votes is given.
The extra votes seem to be verit-
able magnet, for candidates in every
part Of The Pioneers territory are
anxious to form one or more Of these
$25 clubs.
Many candidates are sending in
the subscriptions as they are secured,
for not only does it relieve them of
saving them until the end Of the
week, but they realize that accurate
record Of them is kept in the cam
paign office, and that special vote
ballots for clubs are mailed as soon
as the club or clubs are formed.
The regular votes obtained on all
subscriptions, and the ballots for
extra votes may be withheld until
such time as the candidates wish to
deposit them in the ballot box. It is
a good idea to send in sufficient votes
to keep in the lead or near the lead,
for then your friends may see that
you are continually forging ahead in
the race. At the same time it is wise
to establish reserve, which may be
utilized when the campaign reaches a
climax.

Madison. Predicting that the state
Of Wisconsin will be greatly benefited
from a trade standpoint by the i'm
provement OF the ST. Lawrence river,
which would make Lake Michigan and
Lake Superior accessible to seagoing
vessels, Assemblyman Ray J. Nye Of
Superior offered n memorial to CON
gress suggesting the Improvement of
the river, In cooperation with Can
ada.
The a&,emblyman said he foresaw
the day when the great ocean liners
from Liverpool, Hongkong and other
important commercial centcrs would
be steamng into Lake Michigan and
Lake Superior ports with their prod
ucts. This Improvement, he declared,
would cut transportation on wheat 6

resolution was adopted.

fersOn presented measure requiring
private and parochaI schools to dis
play the American flag.
A bill to repeal the personal prop
erty offset in the state income tax law
was offered in the assembly by Assem-
blyman c. Il. Hanson Of Pierce coun-
ty. This bill was recommended by the
state tax commission in its biennial re-
port just filed with the governor AS
semblyman Hanson said that he has
been unable to discover any reason
why this personal property offset
should be retained. His measure will
greatly increase the returns under the
income tax law and will materially in
crease the revenues of the state. For
the year 1913 the personal property
Offset I'm the state amounted to S3,307,-
435. The Hanson bill would increase
the tax revenues of the state and To-
calities by that amount Since the in
come tax law has been in operation
the personal property offset has
amounted to S12.S37G27, while the
cash collections have amounted to
S1G5O2 800. In other words, about 40
per cent Of the state income tax IS
dissipated in offsets"

man G. Il. Hanson gives the legislature
power to remove an appointive off

Weekly Health Talks
A Word About the
Kidneys
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when they
think something is the matter with their
lungs or heart, and well they may be; but
few people understand the dangers of dis
eased kidneys. These organs have a duty
of vital Importance to perform, and if they
are diseased, there is no telling how or
where the symptoms may appear. The
kidneys are filters, and when they are
healthy they remove the poisons from the
blood and purify it. When che kidneys
are diseased, the poisons are spread every
where, and one of these poisons is uric
acid. The uric acid is carried all through
the system and deposited in various places,
in the form cf urate salts-in the feet,
ankles, wrists and back-often forming
bags under the eyes. Sometimes the result
ing trouble is called rheumatism, lumbago,
sciatica and backaehe. Finally, come stone
in the bladder, diabetes and Brights dis
ease.
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent
years, discovered that certain comhina-
ton of remedies would dissolve uric acid
(urate salts) in the system. lie found this
combination to be harmless, SO that he
made it up in tablets, of double strength,
and called them Anuric Tablets. They
dissolve uric acid in the human system as
hot coffee dissolves sugar If you have
uric acid troubles. don't delay in taking
Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in
the drug stores. You can write DIR. Pierce,
too, and he win tell you what to eat AMI
how to live SO that more uric acid will mob
form in your system. DIR. Pierce will noA
barge for this advice.
