work that she might be with her ia
ther. A few weeks ago she accom-
panied him to Rochester, Mimi, for

No organs OF the Truman body are so
important TO health and long,life as the
kidneys. When they slow up and COM
mence to lag in their duties, look out!
Danger is in sight.
Find out what the trouble is-with-
out delay. Whenever you feel nervous,
weak, dizzy, suffer from sleeplessness,
or have pains in the back, wake up at
once. Your kidneys need help. These are
are not performing their functions
properly. They are only half doing
their work and are allowing impurities
to accumulate and be converted into
uric acid and other p~oisons, which
are causing you distress and will de-
stroy you unless they are driven from
your system.

Any government thus derelict in
making good its promises to its sol
diers on the firing line is lacking, not
only in patriotism, but in common
honesty and if President Wilson
would make this government a model
for a world democracy" he would
do well to remind some of the con-
federate sympathizers in congress
that it would be we'll to first be just,
then generous.-H. p. Smith.
