RELIEF
FROM PAINFUL
BACkACHE

Many of those g~nawing, ~nagging, painful
backaches people blame On colds or strains are
relieved when treated in the right way.
The kidneys are Natures chief way Of taking
excess acids and poisonous waste out of the
blood. They help most people pass about 3 pints
a day.
If the Is miles of kidney tubes and filters
don't work well, poisonous waste matter stays
in the blood. These poisons may start nagging
backaches, rheumatic pains, loss of pep and
energy, getting up nights, swelling, p%uhiness
under the eyes, headaches and dizziness. FIRE.
burning sometimes shows there is something
wrong with your kidneys or bladder.
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 the
waste from your blood. Get Doan's Pills.

Hog producers over the nation
apparently are tearing page out
Of the book Of the dairymen in
making an effort to get a pork and
lard advertising program under
way. Dairymen in Minnesota rec
emily organized the Minnesota
Dairy Industry Committee and
this group with about 10 other
states formed the American Dairy
Association, an organization set up
to raise money for dairy products
advertising. A similar idea is now
being worked out by the hog pro-
ducers in Minnesota and other corn
belt states, according to the coun-
ty agents office, st. Cloud. Under
this advertising plan a small de-
duction Of probably SC per hog
marketed on the public market
would be turned over to an organ
ization to advertise pork products
and lard. At the present time this
Is being done in a small way for
all meat through the National
Livestock and Meat Board. Under
this set-up producers make a very
small contribution from the sale of
livestock to push meat promotion
work. Packers and other meat
professors make similar contribu-
tions in a cooperative way to keep
the program Of the National Live
stock and Meat Board going. The
new pork and lard advertising pro-
gram would reach much further
as far as pork producers are con-
cerned but would operate in a
much narrower field than the Ma
tional Livestock and Meat Board.
At the present time pork is
cheaper than other meat and lard
is only a fraction Of the cost OF
several of the vegetable substitutes
for lard. It is, of course, harder
to get several million hog producers
together on an advertising venture
of this kind than two or three
large firms that control the manu-
facture Of vegetable substitutes, but
the lead that has been made by
the Dairy Industry Committee
proves that the progress can be
put over.

a firm statement of faith in the

Farm News ST.
--By County ASe,,t

Indications point to a large par
ticipation in the AAA program In
Stearns county in 1910. At this
time more than 1900 farms are
signed up for the program. While
the sign-up meetings at various
points in the county have all been
held, the sign-up continues in the
county agents office at st. Cloud
and farmers wishing to participate
in 1910 can complete their papers
for this year any time at the ex-
tension office.
A little later in the month a
school Of instruction will be held
for the community committeeman
who will later complete the job in
the various townships on the sign
up. This work will probably be
postponed until after the 18th of
March in order that country roads
can become better for travel than
they are at the present time, en-
abling the community committee
men to do their job faster and
more effectively.
Farmers interested in good
horses may want to attend the

horses of the Percheron and Bel
gian breeds will be sold. The sift-
ing committee of the Horse Breed
erS Association has done very
thorough job in picking these ami
mails. They will have nine stations
and 13 mares Of each breed for sale.
In addition one grade Percheron
stallion will be offered. Every
horse sold in the auction will be
inspected by a competent veterin-
arian prior to the sale and its con-
dition will be announced at the

IRISH-DUTCH FEUD AT ST.
JOHNS, ST. PATS Day

st. Johns University campus Is
something in turmoil this week
as the Sons Of Erin line up in camp
to do battle with the Dutch in the
annual st. Patrick's Day clash in
basketball. The game is called for
$3.50 p. m. Sunday, March 17th. To
the Irish that day is something to
fight for, but the so-called fight
ing Irish have slipped some cogs
in the nine year rivalry with the
Dutch, for twice they lost. But z
out Of 9 is a good percentage. Ac-
cording to Homer Hurd, sports edi-
tor Of the Record, who may be
wont to over-emphasize, the campus
down there Is armed with every
thing but machine guns for this an
nual fracas. But the whole thing
Is to have a fine ending, for the

Mr.. Hoover's Appeal

Former President Herbert Hoover
returned to the Nations Capital
yesterday for his second public ap-
pearance since March 4, 1888. His
purpose was entirely humanitarian.
It was to plead for organized relief Of
the afflicted peoples of Finland and
Poland that he came to Washington.
Fifty million dollars worth of food
stuffs, he estimated, will be needed to
save seven million men, women and
children from starvation next sum-
mer. ''The whole of Europe will be
bad spot when the war is over" he
said.
Certainly few Americans, remem-
bering conditions abroad following
the struggle of 1914-19l8, can doubt
the accuracy of Mr.. Hoover's fore
cast. Neither can the logic of his
appeal to the Foreign Affairs Com
inittee of the House of Representa-
tives be challenged successfully. The
United States has surplus of agri-
cultural products of every kind. mo

might send" to suffering populations
Of the Old World. Granting such aid
to the Firms and the Poles, I'VE are

Munitions Trade Branded
A National Disgrace.
By Thomas r. Henry.

Your correspondent, Edmund X.
Goldsborough, asks: Does it make sense
to permit American-made bombs to be
dropped on the heads Of foreign people
and then attempt to relieve their distress
by relief funds?"
Permit me to reply: It not only does
not make sense but it is a disgrace to
the American flag and the American
people to allow death-dealing munitions
to be manufactured for warning Euro
pean nations. We are far worse than
the Walrus in Alice in Wonderland"
because we should know better.
To one reared in a Christian faith
the question presents itself: Can any
body picture the founder of Christianity
permitting the sale of bombs to nations
fighting like jungle cats? The master
would have lashed the hypocrites from
the munition plants just as he sought to
exterminate the greedy money lenders,
the Wall Street pirates of that era.

relief Of civilians in the war-torn
areas. Sentiment, 1t Is believed with
reason, favors loans to Finland for de-
tense purposes. There can be no ques-
ton about the desire to assist helpless
victims Of the strife in military
ways. A loan Of twenty million dol
lars to the Finnish government has
been authorized by Congress, and
soon will be approved by President
Roosevelt. The money is restricted
to the purchase Of merchandise of
non-military character. Some pro-
vision to assist the Poles also should
be devised. BY such generosity the
United States would gain credit as a
friend of civilization in a time when
civilization wants friends. Mr..
Hoover spoke for millions of his
countrymen. They thank him for
his service as a leader in work OF
mercy which naturally engages their
sympathy.

to attract more birds than just one small
window sill feeder, for instance.
There are some disadvantages, Of
course. The birds quickly wear great
bare patches in the grass.
Their numbers tend to frighten away
the shyer birds, notably the beautiful
chickadees and the pert titmice. They
will not scare them entirely away, how
ever, and as for the bare spots in the
grass, they can be remedied when spring
really begins. Then the birds need less
food supplied by man, and gradually all
but one feeding place can be discon-
tinued. This will give ample opportunity
to SOW grass seed anew. BY Withholding
food except at one place, the songsters

sowing the seed quite thick, permitting
these birds their share. They will get

It comes as natural to them as, we'll,

they have their little ups and downs,

it were, although in very short form,
to another spot. Lucky fellows!
The wisdom of the starlings is one
Of their cardinal points.
As long as mankind admires brains,
we cannot altogether despise the star
ling. This Is one of the few birds which
has enough sense to ''come in out of
the rain" according to the maxim.
Often in wet weather, some old star
ling will be observed calmly seated in a
feeding station. He is not there to eat,
but merely to keep himself dry.
Many observers have seen starlings

Seventy five to hundred birds will be
a fair average at a feeding station in
protected place.
Sometimes two or three hundred may
be observed, especially when snow is on
the ground.
No one should think, however, that
large numbers of the feathered folk are
necessary to make the sport Of feeding
them real sport. Far from it. One bird,
properly observed and realized, is enough.
1t is this quality which makes this very
good sport, indeed.
Yet there is certain charm to large
number. It is the old question, perhaps
never quite solved, which is the best,
many flowers, or just one flower? The
japanese, great flower lovers, philo-
sophically declare that one morning glory,
in bowl, is quite as fine as thousands
of blossoms on the vine
No doubt they are quite right-when
the observer is just looking at the one
blossom floating in bowl.
But when the hundreds of beauties on
the vine come into sight, he will be willing
to swear that nothing less will do.

of the symphonies of Brahms that the

Points to Weakness Of Stand
Against Third Term.
To the Editor OF The Star:
Getting down to political brass tacks,
all this hullabaloo and "furioso" about
Roosevelt running for a third term is
merely father to the wish that he will
stay out, and is fooling nobody.
One can wangle quite grin out Of
the fact that in one breath Mr. Hamil-
ton, Liberty Leaguers, United States
Chamber of Commerce, so-called con-
servative Democrats. Southern states
men, ct al declare that Mr.. Roosevelt
cannot be reelected, and in the next
they denounce him uproariously for
not letting the public in" on his political
plans. Why all the hair-tearing II he
can't be re-elected7 Why don't these
reactionaries encourage his renomina-
ton If he can be defeated so easily?
Why the threatened law to prevent him
being nominated for . third term, II
the opposition, as it says, can nail his
political hide to the barn door?
The answer Is simple: the reactionary
crowd knows 1t hasn't look-in at the
next election II Roosevelt is nominated
again. What this crowd needs is new
