A GOOD FRIEND

A good friend stands by you when in
need. Mineral Point people tell how
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the test.
Patrick Whalen of cor. State and Front
streets, endorsed Doan's twelve years
ago and again confirms the story
Could you ask for more convincing tes-
timony?
Il have suffered from kidney trouble
and rheumatic pains for abont ten
years." says Mr. Whalen. II had a
great deal of pain in the small of my
back. The kidney secretions were un :
natural and I sometimes had to pass
them too frequently. finally decided
to try Doan's Kidney Pills and sent to
Ivey's Pharmacy. I can truthfully say
they gave me great relief" Statement
given August 81, 1907.)
On December 10. 1919, Mr. Whalen
added: Il think more highly of Doan' s
Kidney Pills today than when l recon
mended them in 1907, as the cure they
made for me has remained permanent
During all the years that have passed
have been free from kidney trouble"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't sim

NO REFUGE TN BANKRUPTCY
In OIden Times Severe Penalties Were
Melted Out :te Men Unable to
Pay Their Debts.

A curious custom was prevalent IN
France during the sixteenth and sew
enteenfh centuries. Anyone who found
1T necessary 20 liquidate his affairs
was obliged TO wear a green cap-a
humility ito himself and a warning to
others.
Those who made hobby of getting
rid OF their Indebtedness by way OF
the bankruptcy court should at all
costs steer clear of China. Bank
ruptcies are almost unknown in that
country, %as they entail immediate ex-
eoltiOn.
A similar drastic punishment used
te be 'meted out to delinquent In
8apan.
To come nearer home, one need only
go back to a little before the Act OF
Onion to find that debtors in Scot
land were obliged to wear garments
of diverse colors, suit of gray and
yellow being the most common.
In Siam, a man unable to meet his
liabilities was put in chains and COTE
pelleC to work as q slave for his cred
itor. Should he escape, his wife, chill
dren, father or other relative were
seized in his stead
AT one time bankrupts were cOnsid
'ereu' criminal offenders even in Eng
,lalfd. AS matter of fact, certain
cases of fraudulent bankruptcy have
incurred the death penalty in this
'codntry. Any concealment Of books
'or the secreting of property by g
debtor was so punished. Under This
raw man called John Perrot was
hanged in 176I-London Tit-BitS

death RATE DROPS
WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES

Lives of thousands so2 Armenian
children already have been saved by
the Near East Relief taking over the
Armenian orphanages, according to de-
tailed reports, which have just reached
the headquarters of that organization.
These institutions had been run by the
Armenians since the beginning Of the
war to care for the children whose
parents had been murdered by the
Turks. Because of lack of food,
clothing and medicine, tine death rate
among the children in these institu-
tons averaged as high as twenty or
thirty day in some cases.
When Armenian funds became in
adequate the Near East Relief took
charge of the orphanage. Since that
time the death rate has been greatly
reduced. Given good food and care
the children are quickly returning to
normal physical and mental condition.
1t is estimated by persons who have
made survey of Armenia that 10000
children will die during the next year
unless they are given food :fsad care.
Near East Relief is the only organi-
cation now operating in Western Asia
and it Is making an appeal to save
these Christian children.

ALLENBY STOPS
CRAFT OF TURK
Persecution of Armenians and
Confiscation of Property Pre-
vented by English Officer.

The most arbitrary city boss in tho
world, 1t seems safe to say. as well as
the most INSCRIPTIONS politician OF
modern times, has turned up in Aintab,
Armenia, to Judge from an official re-
port recently made by Major Stephen
Trowbridge, under Gen. Edmund 81. 81.
Allenby's orders.
He is Turk named Besim Bey. Until
the Near East Relief agents stopped
him, he practiced upon the terrified
Armenians such forms Of super-graft
as might well make every other cor
rupt politician in the world green with
envy. and sucn cruelties as make all
other heartless rulers, from Nero
down, seem sweet and gentle char
acters. His office was that Of Munic-
ipal Chief Accountant Of Aintab; but,
as all dishonest ofice-holders know,
1t isn't the Job that matters, but the
sugar-plums that go with 1t. Besim
Bey plucked sugar-piums with both
hands, night and day.
Even inspired city bosses have their
day. Besim Bey's came when the
Near East Relief agents found that no
thorough Armenian relief work could
be done in that city while such condi-
lions Of terrorization existed. General
MacAndrew ordered the arrest and
removal Of the six worst Turks In the
ring that ruled the city, and Besim
Bey qualified. as usual, for first place.

China, whence it spread to Europe,
thence to the reindeer hunters in ST.
IBERIA and across from Asia into the
new world. Along the Pacific coast
the aboriginal Indians were but scant-
fly clad and the natives of Patagonia
usually wore only breechcloth, al
though sometimes a capelike robe
hanging from the shoulders was used.
In Mexico and the Andes region where
the art of weaving reached its height,
garments retained the angular form
ir which they came from the loom.

the American people, They look to us
as the human agency to extricate
them from the frightful situation in
which they have been left as a cOnse-
Quence Of the war
If we should fail to aid them, starva-
ton and the winters cold would go far
to completing the work done by the
unspeakable Turk
l have not seen with my own eyes
the misery in which the Armenians
now exist l have been spared that.
But the reports which have been
brought In by agents OF the Near East
Relief and by representatives Of the
Peace Conference paint a picture Of
wretchedneSs Uncomfortable to those
who have not a first hand impression
OF the savagery Of the Mussulman.
Exiled From &4omes.
Since the beginning OF the war the
Turkish Armenians have been largely
refugees from their homes. A simple
agricultural people, they have been
-exiles from their farms, deprived of
all opportunity to support themselves.
Year by year their sufferings have in
creased. Now, a year after fighting
has ceased. they are still diving the
life of nomads, able to continue to
keep alive only by virtue OF American
philanthropy.
These homeless people--fflthy inf
dels' to the Turk-were good enough
to exert their poor might In our be-
half while the war was still in the
had not so broken their spirit that
they dared not fight for right and for
democracy when justice was the issue.
We accepted their aid then. Surely
we shall not pass them by without
compassion now
The day has passed when any self
respecting man dares permit Absorb
ton in his own personal affairs to ex-
clude consideration of his neighbours
we'll being. No honorable man can
knowingly allow his neighbor to hum
ger or to go unclothed. The Christian
peoples Of the Near East are our
neighbors The money needed to re-
lieve them can be spared without
causing any man, woman or child In
the United States to suffer.
Must Not Rest on Past
In other years Of our own free win
we sent missionaries to Turkey. Our
schools and colleges and hospitals
have played a wonderful role in hu-
manizing that dark spot In the world
Our ideas. our education resources,
our material equipment have been
leaven In the Near East Because we
have done we'll in times past We have
this great opportunity for the present
The Armenians have been treated as
perhaps no people In history have been
treated because they are the spiritual
brothers Of western races.
Will America help themr There
can be but one answer. Their neces-
sity is dire, but our power Is great
We are wealthy. We are q member Of
the family Of nations. Our brothers
call Us. Food, clothes, money, are Inn
mediately wanted. II ever unmerited
suffering called for succor the plight
Of the Armenians should be needed
now. A few months more and Il may
be relief will be too late for those
myriads whom only we can save. We
