ALL OUT OF SORTS?
So Was This Americas Woman
Who Tells Her Experience

All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural to their
sex. They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy
spells, and that tired, depressed
feeling, Thousands have found
new health and strength by helping
the weakened kidneys with Doan's
Pills-a stibulant diuretic. This
Americas case is one of many:
Mrs. Lula Leamon. 927 Ogle-
thorpe Ave, says: when l swept
sharp pains shot up from the small
of my back and racked my whole
system. Ny back was weak and 1
was so tired T hated to get out of
bed mornings. I was dizzy and
everything turned black, | used
Doan's Pills from Howell's Phar-
macy and soon felt 100 per cent
better IN every way"

President Coolidge is reported as
being decidedly angry at the course
of the Shipping Board in defying his
policies and ignoring him. Let us
hope so.
Not merely because the president
Is right on this issue---the writer en-
phatically thinks he is; but it is
honestly debatable and there are in
formed persons who think otherwies
but because anger in the president
is decidedly a public asset, for other
reasons.
President Coolidge would rather
cling to certain old-fashioned no
tions of the proper relation of the
president and Congress. He does
not like to use the "big stick"
So, if the president can get angry
enough at the Shipping Board to un.
leash the big stick, that weapon will
then be in shape for bigger game.

TOKYO, Oct. 2O.-Japanese

styles. Short skirts and bobbed

VERGE DEMOLITION
THE "SEIGESALLEE

Radical papers in Germany are
agitating for the demolition of the
"Siegesallee," the absurd avenue of
statues of all the Hohenzollers lead
ing across the Tiergarten to the
Column of Victory.
The column itself probably no one
will pull down unless it is a victori-
Gus French army. 1t is the most
raspingly arrogant in the world, and
it at least commentaries a real
achievement, and it is dedicated
from the thankful fatherland to the
victorious army"
But the long row of monuments
leading up to it commentaries moth
ing but the stuffed pride of two EN-
perors, one of whom is the only
Hohenzollern whoes statue will never
grace any Victory Alley.
There they are, the great and the
small, the sane and the insane, those
who rendered great service to Prus-
STA and those who rendered less thar
none, each monument like every
other-the Hohenzollern on a pedes,

BETTY COMPSON is
GREAT IN "MIAMI"

If you don't go to Dudley's theatre
you will be missing one of the best
pictures the screen has had in a
long time. We speak of Miami" in
which Betty Compson has the lead
ing role. The title and the star are
enough to tell you that the picture
is great but when we say it's an
Alan Croslan dproduction, you know
it's a standard setter.
There are society dramas and So
ciety dramas. Unless we are very
much mistaken, miami" is going to
serve as a basis for comparison
most lavish sets and beautiful ex-
teriors we have ever seen, There is
gorgeous gambling resort, palatial
homes, hotels and yatchts, gowns ga
lore and sports of all kinds
Around these externals is woven
an intensely absorbing story of an ul-
tra-modern society girl, Joan Brue,
whose filtration with a married man
almost causes her to lose the man
she loves. Those who have nothing
to do in life but play are surrounded
by a glmaours veil through which the
public is always trying to peer. "Mi-
amir lifts hiatt veil and gives an init
mate view of the idle rich. There
is also considerable "flapper stuff
wild jazz partie, joy rides, Sc
ries of mad clare dives" into the
pool by the reckless Joan who begins
in an evening gown and ends san
habiliments of any sort.
miami" is a rest-cure for the
tired bushes man, a pleasur "trip for
his wife and first rate entertainment
for everyone.

AMERICANS STILL
CONSERVATIVE

We are still a conservative people
Everywhere else the labor movement
is the center of radical, economic
and political theories.
In America, the widest demon.
stration of enthusiasm at the meet,
ing of the American Federation Of
Labor was at the declaration OF
President William Green against any
dealings with Russian organizations
so long as they adhere to their pres
ent philosophy of opposition to free
democratic government.
The whole long rule of Samuel
GOmpers was protest against eco.
nomic radicalism. The administra-
ton of President Green continues
the same policy. And the elected
delegates give him an ovation for
saying so.
American organized labor is moi
only a good thing for the workers
who, under its methods, are much
the best off of any workers in the
world, but it is a good thing for all
the rest of US, too.
1t is our most potent stabilizing
force. 1t makes for sound economics
and good government.

Spending the 1925
Crop Money

Advice is Nseldom welcomed
and less often followed, but oc-
casionally we hear words of wis.
dom from one capable oil
speaking because of experience
In this instance it is the editor Of
the Progressive farmer anc
whether followed or not, it may
be well for us to read and pom
der the following:
Farmers are now selling their
crops-crops made in the sweat of
their faces, crops representing not
only the toll of the farmer, the
farmers wife, and the farm boys
and girls, but also their hopes.
Let's resolve now to make the
best possible use of every cent of
crop money that comes to US. If
we have been paying slime prices"
usury on anything this year, let's
resolve to stint and economize till
it hurts so as to avoid ever having
to pay ''time prices" any more.
Let's try, too, to make purchas-
es as far as possible for "produc-
tive purposes" things that
will help us earn more. Better
equipment, better livestock, more
horsepower, more land, more con-
veniences for doing housework-
some of these things are probably
necessary in order to enable US to
work better and earn more. If
we buy something now that helps
us earn more, these increased earn
ings may later help us buy the
other things we want and need. Be.

Is it for "proIdctive purpose"
that it to say, is it for some
thing that will help us produce
more and thereby pay back the
money spent in buying it?
Or is it for "consumptive
purpose"-that is to say, is it for
something that consumes or eats up
the money spent on it, without en-
abling us to produce anything
more with which to recover the
expenditure?
We don't mean at all to say that
we should make no eonsumptive
purchases; many are necessary.
But we should always give the

worst. They stand, not for the glory
of a nation, but for the arrogance of
a family, and of the two last of the
family at that. The purpose is to
impress the people with the idea that
it was the Hohenzollerns that made
Germany great.
The easiest lesson to draw now
would be that the last of the tribe
William the Least, had more than
his share of making Germany poor

tead-ohe that will help US earn
'lGre with which to pay for the con-
investment. Especially
should farmers who have insuffi-
cinet work stock or tools or ma
chinery or land aim first of all at
getting these things.
Making money is but half the
task. To get its full value it must
be wisely spent-sagaciously in
vested. The farm is the farmers
business-it is his stock in trade.
Careful spending may mean a
cash surplus next year and it is
always cheaper to pay cash than
trade on a credit. To cancel an
8 per cent mortgage is a reduction
in overhead and nowadays when
the cost of production and the
sale price are so close, it is diff
ticult to make a profit until over
head is at a minimum.
The advice of the Progressive

retail merchant, the profe ssional

the farmer.

President Coolidge does not
favor Federal appropriations for
road building, and it is under

The General Electric company
is to bring out simplified auto
matte refrigerator, small enough
to fit the smallest home and US
able wherever there is an electric
current. Ice has not generally
been classed as medicines" but
its use is one of the greatest steps
toward universal good health, and
the inventor of the never-fail cleo
trio refrigerator is a public bene-
factor like Pasteur and the in
ventor of anaesthetics.
The day is not far distant when
electric current will be available
at the front door of every farm.
Then we shall see electrically
driven washing machines, auto
matte refrigerators, and other la
bor-saving and health preserving
machines taking the place of-in
too many instances - female

Today we run down there for din

for the farmer IS miles in the

big cities, who live even greater
distances from the center of
things. Gas and electricity have
eliminated distance.
Automatic refrigerators, good
