 Instead we read in this mornings $ newspapers that you have publicly charged the retail merchants of the country with the guilt of high food prices and have ordered William J. Burns to investigate the iniquities of some small shop keepers.
 Coming at a time when the entire nation is aroused over the attempts of the packing interests to smash collective bargaining and make the public pay the bill in profiteering meat prices, your attack on the re- taller looks like a smoke screen to cover up the sins of the beef trust and the friendly inactivity of your department.

KEEP YOUNG

People with bad backs and week kid neys are apt to feel old at sixty. Many old folks say Doan's Kidney Pills help them keep young. Here's a Convincing case:
 J. P. Howe, prop. of general store, 152 Water St.. Santa Cruz, Calif., says: "I hanen't needed a kidney medicine for the past two years, as I have had no trouble since last us- ing Doan's Kidney Pills. It was overlifting that affected my kidneys. I had severe pain in the lower part of my back, but the main trouble was with my kidneys. They didn't act properly. The secretions burned and there was inflammation in my bladder. I had tried all known kid ney medicines, but they did me no good. Doan's Kidney Pills did the work for me. I have been entirely free from kidney and bladder trou- ble for the past two years" ((State- ment given February 19, 1916).
 On December 4, 1919, MT. Howe said: 'I never miss a chance to rec ommend Doan's Kidney Pills to any one I hear speak of kidney trouble. know from experience, there is nothing better for this trouble"

Bell Ringing,
One of the Oldest
Christmas Customs
eNeff HAT would Christmas be with
VIXH out the melody of the bells

UlUH out the melody of the bells
ringing good will toward men?
Bell ringing is one Of the Oldest OF
Christmas customs. At one time, IN
England, the ringers gave their serv-
ices free, nor would they accept any
special payment. The peal was rung
as q matter of course, and was the
natural expression Of English joyous
ness. The merry music of the bells IN
Great Britain and wherever churches
have peals of bells, is today as much
a feature of Christmas as the decora-
tion of church and home with ever
greens. or the provision of the good
cheer which always marks this festive
season.
What an outcry there would be If
an edict were issued forbidding the
ringing of the bells during the coming
festive season! Yet this was actually
done during the Commonwealth, for
in 1852 the wise men of parliament
gave orders that mo observation shall
be had Of the five-and-twentieth day
Of December, commonly called Christ
mas day"
1t is quite certain that this edict
was disregarded in many places, while
in others it led to open rioting. AT
Canterbury the mayor of the city tried
to enforce the new rule, but the people
were not going to be deprived of their
pleasures so easily, so they took the
law into their own hands, broke the
mavor's windows-and some OF his
bones as well-and affirmed their in
tention of keeping their Christmas in
their own fashion, just as their fathers
had done before them.
