IT HAS LASTED
Lancaster People Must Believe Such
Convincing Testimony as
Mrs. Behncke's.

No one in Lancaster who suffers
backache, headaches, dizziness, rheu-
matte pains or distressing urinary ills
can afford to ignore this twice-told
story of Lancaster resident. It Ia
confirmed testimony, telling of lasting
benefit from Doan's Pills-a stimulant
diuretic to the kidneys. It's evidence
that no man or woman in Lancaster
can doubt.
Mrs. Frank Behncke, Monroe St.,
Lancaster, says: 81 was troubled
with kidney disorder and suffered
from pains in my back. had head
aches and dizzy spells and felt miser-
able all the time. I had no strength
or energy. I used Doan's Pills and
they relieved me-"
SEVERAL YEARS LATER, Mrs,
Behncke said: "The cure Doan's
made for me some years ago, has
proven permanent"

simply ask for kidney remedy-get

Behncke had. Foster Milburn Co.,

Pastor Declares Christ
Took Others Doctrines

New YOrk-That Jesus Christ and
his apostles quoted and paraphrased
the "best sellers" of their day rather
than preached an original and unique
gospel, is held by the Rev. Charles
Francis Potter, youthful minister of
the West Side Unitarian church, in a
book, entitled New Light on Jesus,
which will be released for early pub
LEGATION.
The doctrines taught by Christ up
on which the Christian religion was
originally founded were substantially
the religious and ethical concepts of
the advanced Judaism of the inter-
Biblical period, three centuries before
Christ, asserts the Rev. Mr.. Potter,
who is engaged in series of modern
st-fundamentalist debates with the
Rev. DR.. John Roach Straton.
The Rev. Mr.. Potter believes the
appearance of his book will make
necessary the writing of an entirely
new life of Christ, and says that if no
one will write the new biography, he
will do it himself.

Optimistic Business Review.


A review of business made by the
First Wisconsin National Bank from
authoritative sources affords a cheer
full conclusion.
Production in steel lines, including
automobiles is slowing up and lower
than a year ago. Manufacturing out
put in general is reduced being at
about the level of last November.
Prices fell during the year and
were about Z percent lower in April
this year than a year ago. Farm pro-
ducts dropped two points over a year
ago but the margin of drop is con-
siderably less than in other lines. On
April 1, 1928, farm products were IS
points lower than the all-commodity
average. On April l, this year, the
spread had narrowed to nine points.
A further fact of interest is that on
April /, the two groups of farm pro-
ducts and metals and metal products
were on exactly the same level above
their 1918 prices.
The cost of living in general has
shown a steady decline except in the
item of rents which has been steadily
upward. The cost Of clothing rose I'M
til last fall but has since remained

In the wage field reductions have
taken place particularly in the shoe
and textile industries. Outside of the
named industries unemployment has
so far not been serious. In view of
immigration restrictions in force it
is probable that labor will respond
more slowly to price movements than
was the case before the war

slow and wholesalers and retailers
have been conservative i'll their buy
ing policies. With more rapid turn
overs lowered prices are more quick
ly reflected to ultimate consumers.
Herein lies the appeal of the chain
stores with their rapid turnover. The
report concludes that the chain stores
are not going to crowd out the depart
ment and neighborhood stores if the
latter, in addition to the service rem
dered, keep their stocks fresh and
moving.
Credit conditions have been tight
in some communities, notably where
money lenders have had the handi-
cap of having to absorb inflated con-
dltlons brought about by weak bank
ing concerns that have toppled This
condition should steadily improve.
Business in general is dull but not
depressed. The decline has been grad

BOb's Golden Opportunity.

The coming campaign will be one
of the hardest fought and most inter-
esting in years. 1t will also be a clean
campaign. The fact is that not one
Of the tickets will have a barrel of
campaign money as has been the case
in previous years. 1t is quite unlikely
that any of the candidates will per-
NIT such thing if they have any
thing to say about it.
Coolidge and Dawes make a strong
ticket, a good deal stronger than
their platform In fact platforms are
meaningless anyhow.
McAdoO seems the best bet for the
democrat nomination. He has gained
in strength the past few weeks and
seemingly his swipe from the oil in
vestigation didn't hurt him with his
democratic friends. The Herald thinks
McAdoo is clean and honest. We do
not believe that he used his position
for anything corrupt. Whether he wins
or not We are glad that he was able
to vindicate himself over the oil deal.
We doubt his strength as a candidate.
If LaFollette runs, and we think he
will, we consider the present time to
be his golden opportunity. If LaF'Ol-
lette ever had chance to win the
presidency he has it now and if he
doesn't win now he never will win
nor will his brand of progressivism
win LaFollette carries the backing Of
the Northwestern farmer group, the
general labor group and the railroad
labor group. All the disconnected ele-
ments, all the elements who suspicion
crookedness in the high places will
be with him.
1t is premature for further predic-
ton

Elinor Glynn makes a good point
when she says that those who are
touchy are people who are not quite
sure of themselves or their positions
in life.
There you have the whole matter IN
nut shell. To be touchy is sign
of bourgeoisie.
If you are at the top or the bottom,
and feel sure of yourself, you do not
mind criticism. You either ignore it
or are grateful for it and profit by 1t.
1t is the test of assurance.
Most of the people of earth are
more occupied in maintaining their
position in life than they are in doing
the work that is set before them. That
is the reason why most people are
touchy.
1t is because they value station IN
life more than life itself
Another thing that makes for touch
mess is the impossibility on the part
of most people of being impersonal.
They construe everything in terms
of personality.
If a companion is little late at
the rendezvous, Jessie construes this
to be a personal slur intended for her
self. She does not consider that there
NAV be a hundred reasons for her
companions actions aside from de-
sire to slight her
Like almost all disagreeable quail
ties, loneliness has its root in Vanity.
If our ego were not sticking so
boldly out of our shoes it would not
get stepped on.
1t is difficult to restrain the ego
when it is rampant. Anyone who is
not genuinely humble finds it difficult
to put on a becoming humility. And
to most of those who put it on does
not fit.
If we were anxious always to be OF
service, if we did not set little traps
to catch our friends, if we were more
honestly and sincerely occupied in
doing our work and in receiving the
pay for it, there would be less OF
loneliness in the world
AS it is there is a good deal of it
and most people do not like it.-Dr.
Frank Crane.

of a business become secondary to
service rendered, they cannot be ele-

Dawes. the Radical.

A Herald reader VINO taxes Occd-
sion every once in a while to disagree
with us land is always welcomed)
says we are wrong in calling Dawes
a radical. A few reasons were given
last week. Here are few more.
Charles G. Dawes broke into law
practice at Lincoln, Nebr., in 1896.
He was in Nebraska for nine years
and left as poor as he came.
He took his first plunge in Nebras-
ka politics by aligning himself with
the anti-railroad, anti-monopoly wing
of the Republican party, fought with
vigor and generally came out licked
So pronounced was his antagonism to
railroad rule in politics that at times,
among those party leaders who took
their orders from transportation Off
Gals, orthodoxy of his Republicanism
was questioned.
If our critic knew what Nebraska
politics was in the days when it was
controlled by the railroads he would
know that everyone opposed to rail-
road domination was called ''radl-
cal, socialist, anarchist" and so on
by those who ran the roads or stood
in with them. 1t was a matter of COM
mon report years ago that the rail-
roads had their little blacklist and
the man who stood out against them
was listed. This animus was carried
through whole families.
Charles G.. Dawes, the RADICAL,
stood with the people and against
lot of crooked, lobbying corporations.
He was and is radical of the finest
type because he doesn't hesitate to
smash thing he knows is wrong.
With Coolidge the conservative and
Dawes the radical the republicans
have some ticket. If the ticket loses
it won't be because Charlie Dawes
doesn't make the dust fly. Don't for
get it, friend.

Doctors Take Tack
From Lung of Baby

Philadelphia = Baby Cletus Moore,
st. Louis, months old, is on the way
to recovery after doctors removed a
steel tack one-fourth inch long from
the infants lung.
Cletus, who swallowed the tack a
month ago and was rushed half way
across the continent to be operated
on here, was separated from the an
noying tack in four and half min
utes Sunday.
The baby bore the operation brave
ly. He took no anaesthetic, smiled a
bit wanly as the tack was taken out
and fell asleep Immediately after
wards.

the current have gone under IN great
numbers. Present conditions afford no
menace to we'll conducted enterprises.
An excess of manufacturing capa-
city is indicated. The war emergency
created an excess number OF manu-
factories in nearly all lines and since
the collapse of purchasing power oV-
erseas factory production has been
steadily dropping. The tendency from
now on will be for factory expansion
in accordance with population growth
ampIified by foreign demand as it may
increase. Outdoor activities, road
building and farm work have absorbed
much of the labor released by factory
shutdown.
Crop conditions are not accounted
good but prospects are better at pres
ent than a month ago. Northern farm
ers have had dry, cool weather to con-
tend with. In the south the boil WeeV-
il has injured the cotton crop but the
extent of the damage cannot as yet
be determined. Wheat production is
forecasted at 693.O00,000 bushels
which will be the smallest crop since
1917 and compares to 5-year aver
age of SS1 900, 900 bushels. Da1rylng
conditions are satisfactory.
Automobile sales so far this year
have been only fair. Apparently there
is no used car market and owners are
wearing their cars out in use instead
of trading for new machines. Deals
are being made for cash or not at all
as a rule.
Freight business has dropped off
steadily since the first of the year and
railroads have felt the decline. The
result has been a curtailment OF
schedules. Passenger runs have been
curtailed considerably on all roads.
Conditions are nothing to brag
about but they might be considerably
worse. The country is still in process
of war readjustment and some time
will pass before a resumption of pre-
war general prosperity will be noted.

When making continuous plantings of vegetables and flowers in small gar den, the work can be expedited by us- ing a long board about six inches wide. When the board is laid on the ground it is a simple matter to make a straight furrow by running the hoe handle alaas thu edge. When the seed has been sown it can be covered quickly by pushing the earth into the drifts with one edge of the board. Then the board can be laid on top of the drill and walked upon, thus making the ground firm about the seeds. Finally, by turning the board twice sidewise, the plnce for the second row twelve inches from the first is indicated. In large gardens it is better to use line for a guide, but in little backyard plot this method of planting with a boar dis found very satisfactory.

Women $ League :. V oters art
 or Plank

At the democratic convention in New York, which is now conyening, the League of Women voters is taking its part. The following are the suggestions for the plank that was presented by them at the convention:
 Believing in international co-opera- ton to prevent war, we support the proposal for the entry of the United States into the permanent court of in- ternational justice as at present or ganized, and urge on members of the Senate the action necessary to such entry.
 We advocate a policy of participation in international conferences and of CO., operation with international agencies !. both for the elimination of the causes of war and for humanitarian purposes. We urge that such cooperation already begun shall be made official.
 Believing in governmental responsi- bility for public welfare, we advocate prompt ratification by the states of the child labor amendment to the consti- tuition proposed by the present Con- gress, and the subsequent immediate en- actment of suitable federal legislation for the protection of children in in- dustry; adequate appropriations for the women's and children's bureaus in the department of labor, and for voca- tional training in home economies; the continuance by the federal government of cooperation with the states for the protection of maternity and infancy recognition of the immediate need of an . equalization of educational opportunity throughout the nation, and action in conformity with this American ideal, including the creation of federal de- partment. of educa tion; the removal of legal discriminations against women by specific measures not prejudicial to women's labor laws or to social well fare legislation; and legislation for equal rights between men and women drawn with full consideration of each specific type of law involved, instead of attempting to deal with the subject by blanket legislation.
 Believing in efficiency in govern ment, we support the principle of the merit system as the basis of appoint ment to office and promotion in office, and urges its extension to all the agencies of the executive branch of gov ernment, as the means of securing ef- , fective administration and enforcement of law.
