Strength Gave Out
Mrs. Schmitt Was Miserable From
Kidney Trouble Until Doan's Came
to Her Assistance. Now Well.
"My kidneys gave out during the
change of life," says Mrs. Margaretha
Schmitt, 63 Alabama A v*., Brook
lyn, N. V. "My back ached and pained
as if it were broken. When I moved in
bed, sharp, darting pains caught me
across my back and 1
couldn't turn. Mornings
I was stiff and sore and
it felt as if heavy
weights were tied to me,

"1 had the most se

too often ami caused much distress.
I was hardly able to do my housework
and just to walk upstairs took all my

"As soon as T began taking Doan's
Kidney Pills, I improved and six
boxes put me in better health than I
had enjoyed for years."
Mrs. Schmitt gave the foregoing
statement in 1910 and on April 6,

If Soldiers Are Willing to Risk Their
Lives Civilians Can Well Afford to
Spare Time to Serve in Har
vest Field.
By DAVID F. HOUSTON,
Secretary of Agriculture.
Washington.—Some time ago I is
sued a statement concerning the farm
iabor problem. It was pointed nut that
there will he farm luhor difficulties to
overcome this year as last and that in
certain sections, especially in the
neighborhood of large industrial cen
ters, til** difficulties will he acute. The
lines of effort were indicated along
which the departments of agriculture
ami labor, through representatives in
various states co-operating with the
agricultural colleges and other agen
cies, are working to furnish assistance.
Briefly stated, these agencies are doing
the following things: (a) making a
survey of the farm-labor situation in
each community w\'»h a view to discov
er possible surpluses of labor, in order
to he ready to assist in furnishing Ja- i
bor wherever it is needed; (!*) assist
i Ing again in shifting labor from com
j inanity to community ami from state to
j state, as in past years; (e) promoting
I fuller co-operation among farmers in
j the same community; (d) making
I available, so fag- as possible, high
school hoys in rural districts who have
j hail experience In farming and w ho are
j not normally regularly or fully em
ployed in farmfrv; operations; (*■) mak
ing every effort to see that there is no
obstacle in the way of the production
of a larger supply of farm machinery
and its fuller use as a supplement to
hand labor.
National Army May Help.
Last year, in spite of all the difficul
ties, the fanners planted the largest
acreages in the history of the nation,
harvested record crops of most impor
tant things except wheat, and suc
ceeded in greatly increasing the num
ber of live stock. Since last year
skilled farm labor has been given de
ferred classification and the secretary
of war has asked for power to furlough
soldiers of the National army if their ,
training permits, so that they may re- :
turn to their farms and assist. It Is
believed that tiie farmers of the na- !
tion can, by effective organization and i
co-operation, with such assistance as
can he furnished, again overcome la
bor difficulties and produce large qunn- j
titles of foods, feedstuffs and live !
stock.
There Is an opportunity now for ur
ban people sympathetically and con
constructlvely to study the farm-labor
situation and to render assistance. In
many towns and cities there are men
who have had farming experience, who
are ablebodied, and who would doubt
less he willing to serve the nation in
tin* field of agriculture at this time.
Especially for the seasonal strains of
planting, cultivating and harvesting, it
will not bo too much to ask such men
to aid tin* farmers in the necessary un
dertaking of maintaining and. If pos
sible, supplementing, the food supply
in order to feed the arthies and to sus
tain tlie civilian population behind
fliom.
Civilians Should Help.
If soldiers are willing to serve in
tin* trenches, to dig ditches, build rail
roads ami risk their lives, many civil
ians can well afford to spare a part
of their time to serve in the furrows
and In the harvest fields. If it appears
that the farmers of n community or
region are not able to secure the nec
essary labor by the usual methods,
then the leaders in the town or city
Immediately dependent upon that re
gion should organize, establish touch
with representative farm leaders, and
see if they cannot assist in solving the
problem. In so doing they will not
only aid the farmers of the nation, but
they will vitally contribute to their
own well-being and to that of their
community.
The farmers are willing to do all
that they humanly can. but where their
luhor supply cannot he furnished from

London.—Two German officers re

The story is one of tin* many advon
tarons incidents which befall that se

who wear n silver greyhound in their

only five men who hold commissions in
that service. The others are merely

LAD TAKES HIS LIFE
Precocious Youth Kills Himself
Over Alleged Theft.
Boy Declared Chemistry to Be His
Life's Sole Desire and
Happiness.
London. Few eases of suicide in
recent years have attracted as much
attention as that, of Master Arthur
Easterbrook, precocious son of a re
tired colonel In the British army. The
youngster killed himself with cyanide
of potassium. He had been experiment
ing in chemistry, to which lie was de
voted. He presumably was driven to
his act by Hie discovery that he had
taken some chemical apparatus from
Ids school to his home. Although he
had merely borrowed it, there was an
Insinuation that he was guilty of theft.
A letter left by the hoy Is as follows:
"To whomsoever shall find this:
"Today will he my last day on this
planet. I cannot stand the prospecta
of what is coming, so good-by, chemis
try, my life's sole desire and happiness.
What will happen afterward I cannot
tell, hut I hope that my spirit will
travel to another planet and a God will
forgive and let me have another
chance.

IN THE SPRING
will be the great test of a life and death
struggle on the Western front In tha
everyday walks of life, it is the spring;
time that brings ill health. One ol tha
chief reasons why the run-down man
finds himself in a'bad state of health m
Match or April, is because he has spent
nearly all hia hours for the past four or
five months penned up within the wan»
of house, factory or office. It is the rea
son for our diminished resistance tint
is, lack of out door life, coupled with
perhaps overeating, lack of good exer
cise, insufficient sleep, aDd constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding Ml»
furnace with food but do not tak» OUO
the "clinkers," and our fire does not bum
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing lietter for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per
haps once a week; such a one as you
can get at anv drug store, made up of
May-apple, jalap, aloes (sugar coated,
tiny, easily taken ), which has stood th©
test of fifty vears of approval—namely.
Dr. Pierce's lffeasant Pellets. But for
the "Spring Fever," the general run-down
condition, the lack of ambition, th©
"blue«," one should take a course of
treatment every spring; such a standard
tonic as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. now to be had in tablet form in
sixtv-eent vials. Watch the people go
plodding along the street. There's no
spring, no vitality. A vitalizing tonic such
as this vegetable extract of Dr Pierce'»
gives you the power to force yourself into
action. The brain responds to the new

to make a fight against stagnation which
holds you in bondage Try it now! Don't
wait: Today is the day to begin. Gain a
little "pep." and laugh and live. Vim and
