When kidney diseases have been

sonable TO assume that the remedy
therefore must possess unusual
merit. Such is the remarkable
record OF Warmers Safe Kidney

board which has investigated complaints of courtsmara
that such courts "for creating and maintaining
the discipline of armies rather than for mice excmpca

Secretary of War Baker has given his approval to this

The purpose of army is to fight and that purpose is
carried out only thru rigid discipline There be no
denial of the fact that other things being equal the better
troops disciplined the better they be made TO fight
Free and easy armies do not win victories trained

Pure justice is by the aim of courtsmartia

Pure religion and undtfIlei

That Plumb plan Is bothering a
lot OF folks. principally railroad
stockholders. railroad presidents and
railroad waterers. but II doesn't look
like nightmare 10 the railroad
brotherhoods.
Naturally raiiroad riders would
never be consulted. They merely
pay the frelght-either way.
Now while the Plumb plan.
we're told. will squeeze the water
out OF railroads. we're not assured
that anybody's going 20 use the
water TO keep down the dust on the
tracks.
Gee, but the railroads got an
awful scare the other day when
jeff Davis hobo union went on a
strike and refused to ride in side
door Pullmansl
Congress Is. however. fully ex.
pected TO endorse Plum pie.
There used TO be time when
Farmer Corntassel let the hogs
into the plum orchard to harvest
the crop. and now one is expected
10 trade a good sized diamond for
handful Of plums at the grocer's.

Pulled out a Plumb plan
without batting an eye.
II is no great secret that many
congressman prefer the plums you
shake off the old political plum
tree.
But will railroads be plumbs or
lemons thereafter?
And can one speak OF a railroad
worker. IL he's Plumb planner as
a plumber without getting in bad
with a regular plumbing person?
And when railroaders are plumb
crs Will they adopt the gentle
plumbing habit OF forgetting the
engine and have 20 80 back to the
roundhouse for 81?
Let us hope the Plumb plan
makes railroads run in as straight
"a line as the timetable map shows
they do!
Nor do we know that under the
Plumb plan station train announcers
will talk SO one can understand EN-.
Speaking of train announcers.
there's one in Wales who has TO call
out. "Llanfihangel-yng. Nghlwufa."
and another has to inform a waiting
crowd that the local for Llanfair-

Tennessee train announcers can
yell something like this:

can, Neptune. Bacchus, Hercules and
points east, west. north and SOUTH
There is more or less difference
OF opinion as to the schedule and
track the Plumbed railroads will
take.
For example;
say the advocates:
Under the Plumb plan railroads
will run via Best Service, High
Wages. On Time. Low Rates to
Prosperity
But insist the opponents:
Under the Plumb plan. railroads
will run via wobbly Cars. Leaky
Engines. Rusty Rails TO bankruptcy.
