WORK WEARS ON THE KIDNEYS
Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who Work
in Madison

Many Madison people work every
day in some strained, unnatural posi-
tion-bending constantly over a desk
riding on jolting wagons or cars
doing laborious ~housework; lifting,
reaching or pulling, or trying the
back in a hundred and one other
ways. All these strains tend to wear,
weaken and injure the kidneys until
they fall behind in their work of fill
tering the poisons from the blood,
Doan's Kidney Pills are fro weak kid
neys and bad backs. Their effective
work in Madison is convincing proof
of merit.
Mrs. Chas. Martin, COL Third ST.,
says: II have used Doan's Kidney
fills with very good results and am
glad to endorse them. My kidneys
were in bad shape and / had dull, tir-
ing backaches. My work wore me
all out and ! had no energy. My
kidneys acted irregularly, too. A
friend advised me to use Doan's hid
ney Pills and I found they were just
the thing for me. Doan's helped me
right away. The backaches left and
! felt better in every way"

COBLENz TO BERLIN
 PHONE LINES OPENED

With the American Army of Oc- cuuation. Jan. 10-Further facilities fo- the conduct of ordinary business were given to the inhabitants of the Rhineland yesterday when there was opened between Coblenz and the in terior of Germany five trunk tele- nhone lines. Communication across the line, both by telegraph and mah' had been permitted under the strict est censorship by the Americans, but +eleerapbic communication was linn tied to one wire.
 Permission to use the telephones will be limited to business converse tions. It was given with the under standing that American officials would be fastening in" with instruc- tions to break communication at the slightest indication of improper use of the lines. The arrangement makes possible easy communication with Berlin.
 In offering to the public privileges Of communication the Americans are acting in accordance with their pol icy of as far as possible not interfer. ing with the ordinary affairs of the people.
 Neither the press nor the public is displaying a tendency to take ad- vantage of the comparatively loose rein by which they are held. Po- htAeAl meetings are being held daily, but they have not been of charac- ter to arouse American intervention.

FRUIT AS DECORATION

How many women realize when fill ing the fruit basket on the sideboard that often they are decorating their homes arttsticalIy? That fruit has charms for more than the appetite is demonstrated by the avidity with which milIiners and designers of wall papers, cretonnes and furnitBre have seized upon it es motif for convention al designs. Beautiful reproductions of cherries, grapes, peaches and small apples lying within the crown of a beautiful hat are sometimes seen in the shop windows of exclusive but artistic mil1iners and the fruit ap- pears so natural that 1t attracts more ways than one.
 Since artoists in various lines sane ton the presence of fruit solely as decorative feature. why not decorate our homes more abundantly with 1t? It may be placed in nearly every room in the house and add beauty to the decorative scheme.
 Oranges or apples, for instance, lend color to any dark room. An apart ment furnished in mahogany, walnut or parelled in mission finished wood work gains immediately by contrast with bright colored fruit. The wood work looks richer and the rooms look warmer and more cheerful.
 A basket of fruit looks home-like in the living room. Bananas, apples, oranges and nuts make picture, and an arrangement of several kinds of fruit should appeal to the palate as well as to the eye.
 For the sleeping room fruit again Is suitable. A dainty wicker basket such as flower girls carry at weddings Is a pretty tpye of basket to fill with fruit for the boudoir And are flowers more ornamental than, say, basket Of the grayish green Muscatel grapes and two or three large pink peaches in a pink and white bedroom. The picture that a blue and white china dish will make holding pale yellow grape fruit in a blue and white bedroom should appeal.
 But since trees bring forth fruit only in season and most people can- not afford tothouse grapes, artificial fruit may be substituted out of sea- son, merely to help out the color scheme.
 Homes are decorated with artificial flowers, ferns, palms, birds, butter flies, with -brac of every de- scription, and so why not with fruit. since it is undeniaibly handsome and truly practical, for whenever it be- comes monotonous it may either be eaten or be used as hat trimming.
 Some attractive combinations Of winter fruit are suggested here:
 Green apples and oranges in pale green dish.
 Red and yellow apples in dark brown basket.
 Yellow and green apples on pierced silver plate.
 Red and green apples in a dark brown basket.
 Oranges and grape fruit in Japanese blue and white ware.

GOV. CLEMENT ON
 LOSS OF REVENUE

, Montpelier, Vt, Jan. 10.-Achon bI the Legislature in opposing the talk ing over of sources of state revenue by the Federal government was rec commended by Governor Percival W. Clement in his inaugural message to- day. In this connection he referred to the loss of revenue to the state that would be involved in Federal owner ship of railroads and also in adoption of the national prohibition amend ment.
 The hand of the Federal govern ment rests heavy upon all the business of the United Stataes," said the gov- of the United States said the gov Seople have suffered this without com plaint and with the hope that relief would come win the coming of peace. So far this is a. hope only, and there Is apparently no definite plan for re- turning to rightful ownership proper- ,ty which has been seized by the Fed eral government under the plea of war emergency. This presents a mat ter to you which merits your serious consideration"
 The telegraph and telephone com panies contributed a revenue to the state of S1,0S2,89944 during the de- cenniun. This is one of our largest sources of revenue. There is a def mite program before congress for the Federal ownership of public utilities, principally the wires and the rail roads. If this plan should be con- summated the state must face the loss of this revenue which would mean undoubtedly a still higher state tax It would seem to me proper for this legislature to go on record against further sequestration of the sources of state revenue by the Federal gov ernment.
 The state of Vermont has already sacrificed a large revenue by its adoption of the amendment to the Federal Constitution which takes over to the Federal government the princely revenue from income taxes, and the end is not yet"

Did You Ever Do This7

Visitors or strangers coming Into an office are often embarrassed by the dis courtesy of office employees who ig- nore their presence-or wait for some one else to inquire the visitors errand. Any employee who happens to be near when a stranger enters should address him courteously and ask if he can take a message or be of assistance. The visitors impression of the employer often is affected by the attitude of the employee.-Biddy Bye.

Temperature at the North Pole,

It is not matter of record that Peary took the temperature during his short stay at the Pole, hence there is no North pole temperature record that we know about. The probable maxi mum temperature, however, cannot be much above the freezing point, not withstanding It's 24-hour day, for the Pole is isolated and in an ocean in which 1t is necessary to melt all the ice and snow before the immediate surface temperature rises much above 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
