Get New Kidneys /!

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs CT the human body. and when they
fail IN their work of tltering out and
throwing of the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One OF the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness IN the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
tlons irritation, or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
Is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute At the first in
dicatlon of trouble IN the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal Harlem Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment Is necessary in kidney and blad-
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal Harlem Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aration has been an nnfailIng remedy for
all kidney, bladder and urinary troubles.
It is the pure, original HARLEM Oil your
great-grandmother used About two cap
sules each day viii keep you toned up and

If it does not give you almost immediate
relief, your money will be refunded. Be

Mr.. WILSON'S PLAN
FOR HUN COLONIES
PRESIDENT BELIEVES THAT
THEY SHOULD Be GOVERNED
BY LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
SAMOAN EXPERIMENT FAILED
Joint Control In That Case Caused
Continual controversy-DisposaI Of
Governments War Material Is a
Serious Problem.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington. - Disposition of the
colonies which before the war be-
longed TO Germany was one feature of
the peace conference which IL was
supposed would not concern the Unit
ed States TO any great extent. But
Ii appears that President Wilson be-
heves the former German colonies
should be turned over TO and governed
by the League of Nations when IL is
formed. Such action would make the
League of Nations a very active force
Immediately upon its organization, for
the handling of these vast colonies
would at once become nm important
matter. OF course ii is too early
even TO guess as to what England
Japan and France would have to say
concerning such disposition of the col
onies. II has not been the habit of
either England or Japan to give up
that which they have once laid hands
on. The suggestion of such dispOsi-
lion of the colonies had not been made
previous TO President Wilson's de-
parture for the peace conference.
There are men still In public life
who can remember the disagreeable
results attending the attempt Of
three countries TO govern even a small
portion of the world. The United
States, Great Britain and Germany
had for time joint control of the
Samoan islands. This resulted In
endless controversy until 1t was final
~ found necessary to divide the small
group, awarding TO each country GER
tain specific islands. as joint control
was utterly impracticable. What hap
pened in the Samoan islands quar-
ter of century ago will no doubt be
recalled If a peace treaty Is submit
ted containing provision for joint
control of the former German colonies
by League of Nations. 1t is posi-
BILE that such control will be a more
severe strain upon the League of Ma
tons than would be the effort to en-
force world peace.

Senator vardamHn OF Mississippi
entered a protest In the senate no,
long ago because of the continuance
of work on the dormitories for war
workers, now being erected on the
Union station plaza at Washington.
The ire Of the Mississippi senator was
especially aroused over d report that
one of the buildings was to be used
as moving picture show, which he
said If true was horrible" waste
of money.
There Ia TO be no undue delay in
the consideration of the revenue bill
by the senate. There was a time
when the Republicans threatened to
debate the bill because II contained
two bills in one, that is. one pro-
viding for 1919 and another for
1920. But after mature consideration
II was deemed wise not to antagonize
revenue measure further than by
legitimate discussion and by opposi-
ton votes to features that were OBJ
jectionable. There might not have
been much complaint If the debate had
lasted long. as this bin has been the
most delayed important measure ever
before congress. There rs possihii-
Ity that the bin may pass by the 1sf
Of January. and unless there Is very
strong disagreement the conferees

One Of the problems OF reconstruc-
ton is the disposition of property now
In the hands of the government which
was manufactured and bought for war
purposes and which may now be use
less. Congressman Snyder of New
York called attention TO this the other
day and said that the government had
on hand 125.000.00O shirts and draw
ers. both wool and cotton. He said
that II any such amount of knit goods
was thrown upon the market at one
time II would disorganlze that indus
try for the next ~ months. Then he
referred TO the subject of hardware.
The government has on hand $780,
100000 worth of hardware, such as
shovels, hoes. picks. hammers. axes,
monkey wrenches and things of that
sort. Snyder said that IL these goods
were thrown on the market by auction
1t would disrupt the whole hardware
business of the country. So II ap-
pears that the government must
handle with care the large supplies
which II has accumulated.

II by making some allusion TO cotton

tax on cotton or to fix the price OF

HOUSE OF MERCY
PLANS 1-DAY DRIVE
Funds Raised on December 13
Will Be Used to Maintain
Institution.

The board of lady managers OF
The House of Mercy have arranged a
donation day on Saturday. December
13. in order to raise money for the
support of the institution.
The House of Mercy is a rescue
home under the auspices Of the dio-
cese of Washington, but supported
by voluntary contributions. 1t is To-
Gated at Klingle road and Rosemont
avenue. near one of the east en-
frances to Rock Creek Park.
The officers Of The House of Mercy
are Mrs. Julian James, honorary
president; Mrs. Henry B. Brown.
president; vice presidents, Mrs. AL
bert Mills and Mrs. Lee Phillips; Mrs.
Hoes, recording secretary: and Mrs.
T. Percy Myers. corresponding secre-
tary; Mrs. Frank Anderson, treasurer:
and Miss Helen Mason, assistant
treasurer.
Donations of money. canned goods,
groceries, vegetables, etc. will be re-
ceived, either at The House of Mercy
or at 1872 Connecticut avenue (the
Dodge Automobile salesroom) from 3
a. IN. to p. m.
All checks are to be made payable
to Mrs. Frank Anderson, 1928 Nine
teenth street northwest. Tea will be
served at The House of Mercy after
3 o'clock, to which the public is cor
daily invited.
In a statement the object of the
home is stated as the reform and
training of fallen girls and the care
of their babies. Young girls of any
creed between the ages of fourteen
and twenty years are received and
they are required to remain at least
one year, but preferably two years.
10 to
homelike as possible and at the same
time train the girls along lines that
will be most beneficial and useful TO
them. Competent teachers give in
structiOn in cooking, sewing, laundry
work, housework and child nursing.
The welfare of the mother and
child is considered. 1t is not always
best, and in many cases not possible,
for the mother to take the child when
she leaves the home, and she has the
privilege of boarding the baby there
until she can establish herself.
"To give the children thus left in
the care of the home a good start in
life is an important feature OF the
work; and effort is made to keep in
touch with every girl who leaves,
with most gratifying results.
This work should be brought to the
attention of all who are interested in
the uplift Of young girls, for real
reformation of any kind must come
from within. not from without: this
work, difficult always, discouraging
often. can best be done by religious
institutions where services are bright
work interesting, and play a neces-
sary feature.
THE home is always open to Wis
itors and anyone passing at any time
may see the institution and will be
most gladly welcomed"
