Tired Kidneys
Often Bring
S!eepIess Nights

Doctors say your kidneys contain Is miles
of tiny tubes or filters which help to purify the
blood and keep you healthy. When they get
tired and don't work right in the daytime,
many people have to get up nights. Frequent
or scanty passages with smarting and burning
sometimes shows there is something wrong
with your kidneys or bladder. Don't neglect
this condition and lose valuable. restful sleep.
When disorder of kidney function permits
poisonous matter to remain in your blood, it
may also cause nagging backache, rheumatic
pains, leg pains, loss of pep and energy,
swelling, pufhness under the eyes, headaches
and dizziness.
Don't wait! Ask your druggist for Doan's
Pills, used successfully by millions for over 40
years. They give happy relief and will help

AUGUST IS THE MONTH

When, according to custom, things be-
come dull. Summer doldrums descend up
on us and there is dearth of happenings
that go to make up news. That is-August
usually is the month Of the year here when
the least is apt to occur, but what does the
calendar of coming events hold for Key
West during the balance of this month?
At least two important events will
come about in August that will have far
reaching effect on our city. Further, there
is good possibility that number of major
developments will enter initial stages. So
rather than period of very little in the
way of local news, there is likely to be
some really big spreads at various times
from this time forward until Labor Day
For irstance-Key Westers are re-
minded that the famous movie director,
Cecil B. DeMille, is scheduled to pay us a
visit this month and that Miss Thelma
Strabel will, in all probability, be with US
at that time to assist in location shots for
the forthcoming super-mOvie, Reap The
Wild Wind.
Incidentally, just what are the civic
and governmental agencies doing in prep
aration for Mr. DeMille's visit? Seems
like there ought to be some sort of an Of
ficial greeting committee appointed to
turn over the keys of the city" during
his stay.
Then, probably around the same
period of the month, the State Road De-
partment and the Overseas Bridge Com
mission is scheduled to hold forth in what
will very likely be one of the most i'm
portant meetings held in this city in many
a day. The Importance of that meet has
been stressed before and it is noteworthy
to see that the county government has
made arrangements to provide entertain
ment of some sort for the visiting dig
nitaries
Add to these above, two important
events the possibility that new naval con-
struction is likely to be ordered for this
city and other projects appear TO near the
announcement stage, and you have pic
ture of activity of no small proportions for
the current month.
August, in Key West at least, is not
going to be dull month. The Citizen eX-
poets to be quite busy, thank you!

Mans span of life is growing longer.
About hundred years ago the average
length of human life in America was Al
years Today it is so or better, according
to survey by the research division of the
Battle Creek Sanitarium.
Taking for granted that one must in
evitably grow old and die within definite
span is no longer the modern conception Of
living, the survey indicates. This battle
against human decline has made remark
able progress in recent years through i'm
portant corrective and educational work.
"The so-called 'wearing-out' types of
diseases really are not diseases at ALL DIR.
Charles E. Stewart, official of the sani-
tarium says in discussing the survey. Back
of large percentage of heart trouble,
stomach disorders, or an inefficient liver is
a deliberate or unconscious carelessness on
the part of the individual in the forming
of life along well-ordered physical and
mental living habits
lone favorable point in progress of
longevity of Americans is the realization
that vacations need not and must not be
overly energetic if tired nervous systems
are to be properly revitalized. Mountain
climbing, for example, or portaging
heavy canoe is of no benefit to one who has
not gradually become accustomed to the
strain in advance
A rest-vacation as advocated by the
medical authorities includes outdoor sports
for guests and patients who desire them.
Under direction of a year round well
known physical director, these sports in
clude golf. horseback riding, swimming
and fishing.

The Petain Government, now in con-
troll of France, may not be Fascist, but no
son of a seventh son is required to see that
the old marshal thinks the bread of France
is buttered on the German side.
Apparently, it will be only question
of time before French life is reorganiZed
along the lines of Nazi Germany. Prop
uganda will gradually convince the people
thet the nation was misled in the war by
Democratic England In time, unless the

If we are assured that the refugee
children from the war areas of Europe will
not become public charges, that they will
not eventually become job-hunters and
themselves become part of our army of
unemployed, then the government of the
United States has taken the right course
IL removing the quota limitations. But
those who contemplate taking refugee chill
dren into their homes should be prepared
for the eventuality to have to take care of
them for life and should not be carried
away by shallow emotionalism that will
soon wear out. Furthermore they may be-
ccgne SC attached to the youngsters, par
ticularly if the war continues for some

This week he continued the

In considering the results of
the recent Pan-American confer
ence of Foreign Ministers, if is
well tn understand that the Unit
ed States, as nation. does in fact
bestride the Western Hemisphere
as a colossus. With 10000, 900
of the 254, 100000 people in the
twenty-one republics, il is easy TO
understand the apprehension of
some of the smaller nations. In
the past. the Latin-American
countries have suspected the mo-
tives of this Republic and there
exists, in almost every one of
them, group that. even now. is
now certain that the United
States will not dominate the
Western Hemisphere in its own
interest and for its own benefit.
The Good Neighbor'' policy
has done much to allay the fears
of the smaller republics and con-
ferences held in recent years
have been marked by a unanim-
ity which is encouraging. The
Havana parlev was called for the
express purpose of considering
problems that arise in this herni-
sphere as result of the war in
Europe. While no trusteeship
plan for possessions of European
nations was adopted, the Act of
Havana clearly recognizes the
identity of interests between the
nations of this hemisphere in re-
gard to these problems. An at
