When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches,

for a better example?

Hard work weakened my kidneys
and caused lame hack. Sometimes a
bearing down pain across my kidneys
kept me in misery and again, sharp.

ring my sight. My kidneys wer
sluggish, too. saw Doan's Pills
advertised and used box, from
Sears pharmacy. In a short time,
the backache was gone and my kid
neys were normal"
Mrs Davis is only one of many
McConnelsville people who have
gratefully endorsed Doan's Pills. II

bother you, don't simply ask for a
kidney remedy-ask distinctly for

NO SELLING OF PEOPLE

Recently when premier, BRAND (who is premier
again and trying to form cabnet), took his stand
high ground when bloc of Parliament members want
ed to to the United States West Indian is
lands for cancellation of the French debt.
I'VE have nothing to SELL he said. "French-
not for sale, and the natives Of our
foreign possessions and of inundated terri
tories French subjects. The people of the
French Antilles French citizens by law,
and could no more sell their land than
could auction off Paris to the highest bidder.
Statesmen have thought differently in the past.
Napoleon, for example, thought nothing of his obliga
tons the French subjects of Louisiana when he sold
that great colony the United States. Most powers
still regard their colonies subject to barter and
sale. The coonists may remain individual owners of
their land holdings but they go with the land under
sovereignty. 1t with the Virgin Islands
sold to this country by Denmark few years ago
If the big powers will. hold to this high ideal, it
will elevate the status of their colonial citizens and
subjects and safeguard the latters rights, and mark
the beginning of better in the government OF
backward peoples
Americans congratulate the French whole
heartedly this policy, because don't want any OF
their colonies or mandates or anybody elses

BRAZIL AND THE LEAGUE

Brazils notice OF withdrawal from the League Of
Nations cannot become effective for two years. \
change of administration at Rio may the dec
sion.
At best it is a blow to the League. Yet in pract-
cal effects it may prove to be good thing all around
1t clears the way for German entrance into the
League which has been held by the Brazilian threat
to veto German membership unless Brazil was given
an equal and permanent place with Germany on the
Council. Spain still holds the attitude; but
way can probably be found to straighten that out.
Germany will come in, as she should Then, with all
the big powers Of Europe except Russia sitting around
the council table, there should be chance
of Europe getting along with itself Russian entrance
might follow.
The League parliament of nations, should
remember first proposed by the United States
than 30 years ago, and much of the ridicule
against it in this country emanates from purely pO
tcal camps. II may be that the United States will
never enter the League but such magnificent effort
curb the semibarbarOus nations of this troubled
old world until actually become civilized should
not be discouraged
Already the League has averted war between two
European nations thereby saving probably thousands
of lives.
