Says Dodd’s Kidney Pills,
Wonderful Remedy
Mrs. Della Olson, of New London, Wis.,
like many others, knows after experienc
ing the use of Dodd’s Kidney Pills that
they are unexcelled. Here is what Mrs.
Olson recently wrote us:
"I suffered with rheumatism for years.
There was a gravel deposit in the urine
and I had frequent headaches. I had
dark circles around my eyes and was al
ways tired. I bought a box of your Dodd’s
Kidney Pills and am glad I did, for I se
cured quick relief and think they are a
wonderful remedy.”
Mighty few people realize In time that
kidney trouble i3 making its advances up
on their health. They put off treatment—
they say, “Oh, I’ll be all right in a day or
two.” And the malady tightens its grip.
Result: Bright’s Disease, hospital treat
ment, doctors’ bills—often death.
"When you have backache, dizziness, pain
in loins, stiffness in stooping or lifting,
*pots before the eyes, sediment in secre
tions, rheumatic pains, or swollen joints,
immediately start toning the kidneys by
the regular use of the remedy endorsed by
hundreds of users—DODD’S Kidney Pills.
Elsie Had the Idea, Anyhow.
Elsie came home from school be
fore the holidays with her little nose
tilted at an angle that her mother rec
ognized immediately was to “register”
deep, irreconcilable scorn. Her mother
of course asked the questions that
would bring forth an explanation.
“Oil, it’s Hilda ; believe me I’m not
going to play with her any more,” said
the aggrieved one.
“Why, I thought Hilda was one of
yorir best friends. What lias she done
to you?”
“She hasn’t done anything. It’s her
father, lie was horn in Germany and
he’s never taken out his civilization pa
pers.” .
Good Advice.
“Have you over borrowed any money
from Glitliering?”
“No.”
“I’ve been acquainted with him for
some time. I believe I’lHisk him to lend
me $10.”
“I wouldn’t if I were you.”
“Why not?”
“To my personal knowledge Glith
ering has had the same umbrella for
six or seven years. If he can hold on
to an umbrella like that you'd have a
fat chance to separate him from $10.”
Different Tastes.
“I like to subdue a horse of spirit.”
“I’d rather put down a pony of bran
dy.”

NEWS REVIEW OF
IE PAST WEEK
Astounding Jjrdsr by Garfield
Stops Nation's industries
for Five Days.
CAUSED BY IKE COAL FAMINE
Nine Additional Holidays Decreed—
Storm of Protests Is Unavailing—At
tacks on Secretary Baker Continue—
Central Powers Reject Russian
Peace Proposals.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD. *
“It is the earnest desire of the fuel
administration to prevent entirely any
dislocation of industry or of labor.”
With these words, Fuel Administrator
Garfield closed his summary of the
most drastic and startling experiment
in domestic and war economy made by
this or any other government. For five
days beginning January 18 every fac
tory and workshop in the region east of
the Mississippi and including all of
Louisiana and Minnesota, was ordered
closed, with the exception of those
manufacturing perishable food or food
for immediate consumption. Ten suc
cessive Mondays beginning January 21
are ordered to be observed as holidays
when the consumption of coal shall
cease except in specified cases.
Doctor Garfield stated that he ex
pected to save 30,000,000 tons of coal
by ids order. Very likely lie will, but
his plan, announced without warning,
brought a tremendous storm about his
head. Innumerable business men,
whose affairs were dislocated despite
the “earnest desire” of the administra
tor. flooded Washington with protests
and requests for revocation of the
order, bur it had been issued after con
sultation with and by direction of
President Wilson and the wailers had
no chance for relief save in those indi
vidual instances where it was neces
sary to prevent injury to health or de
struction of property.
Another a* 1 most important angle to
the situation was the enforced loss of
millions of dollars in wages to work
ers. Some big concerns did not deduct
anything from the pay of their em
ployees, hut it was beyond hope that
this example would lie followed by any
considerable number of employers.
Congress, startled out of its usual
deliberative calm, got into action im
mediately. The senate committee on
manufacturers called Doctor Garfield
before it and heard an explanation
that did not explain, and the senate
thereupon adopted a resolution asking
that the order be delayed for five days
for investigation. This Administra
tor Garfield, on advice of the president,
ignored. In the house various resolu
tions were introduced, but immediate
action was blocked by certain Demo
crats.
As finally issued, the order per
mitted ship yards and essential war in
dustries to get coal and remain in
operation during the five workless
days.
— to —
The metropolitan press of the coun
try in general bitterly scored Doctor
Garfield for his order and declared
that it not only was a ghastly mistake,
but exposed to the world the utter in
competence of America to meet a con
dition that throughout the war has
confronted the nations allied with us
and yet has called for no such panicky
action by any one of them. The severe
winter weather which paralyzed traffic,
and the extraordinary demands for
fuel due to wartime conditions are
cited by Doctor Garfield as the causes
•making necessary his order. The
miners blame the railroads for the coal
shortage, and the railroads blame the
“starvation policy” of the government
toward them for the last generation.
Mere coal was mined in the United
States last year than ever before, the
output exceeding that of 1910 by 10.-
000.000 tons of anthracite and 42.000,-
000 tons or bituminous. Of ike output

only about 3 per cent was exported,
mostly to Canada. Yet, within the last
week England sent coal to us, in order
that supply ships might not be stopped.
—lay
out of the fire of congressional in
vestigation the marine corps has come
with added luster, the contrast to war
department conditions being sadly
marked. The house committee said the
corps has been kept supplied on a war
basis with no apparent delays, while
about 25,000 recruits during the year
have been properly housed, clothed,
fed and trained. The secret of this
lies in the fact that Maj. Gen. George
Barnett, commandant of the corps, be
lieved in preparedness. Two months
before America entered the war he or
dered 50,000 pairs of shoes and 30,000
Lewis machine guns. His purchasing
system Ik s worked smoothly and ef
ficiently, possibly because he has had
the assistance of no ~ “dollur-a-week”
civilians, whose capabilities and knowl
edge are not commensurate with their
patriotism. The bureaus of construc
tion and repair and of engineering of
the navy department also received high
praise from the committee.
Secretary Baker and his manage
ment of tlie war department are still
the objects of sharp attack and the de
mands for His resignation or removal
increase daily. His long defense be
fore the senate committee was the re
verse of satisfactory, and there is de
cided diversity of opinion as to wheth
er or not his reorganization of bureaus
will cure the evils that have infested
His department. Daniel Willard told
the committee the new plan was faulty
in that it did not concentrate control
and relied too much on voluntary ef
fort, and immediately thereafter Mr.
Willard resigned his post of chairman
of the war industries board. It was in
timated anew chairman might not he
appointed pending action on the pro
posals for tlie creation of a war supply
department or administration.
Can it he that Mr. Baker, deep in
his pacifist, soul, believes the war will
come to an end before tlie American
troops are called on to fight, and there
fore is willing that adequate prepara
tions for their active participation in
the conflict sliall be delayed? In his
review of operations in Europe he says
a great German offensive is to be ex
pected on the west front, but lie is con
fident that tlie war-worn British and
French armies can withstand it.
Ml —
Fierce controversy raged throughout
tlie week between the German groups
represented respectively by Von Luden
dorff and Von Kuehlmann —the pan-
Germans and the nonannexationists.
There was a report that the govern
ment had compromised the dispute by
yielding to Von Kuehlmann as to the
east front, and assuring Von Luden
dorff that he'might grab any land on
tlie west front that the military forces
of tlie empire could seize and hold
through the peace negotiations. But
this report was unconfirmed.
Berlin stated officially on Thursday
that the central powers had found the
Russian proposals inacceptable, and
that German and Austrian troops
would not be withdrawn from the oc
cupied territories while the war lasts.
Tlie Austro-Germans, the statement
added, do not intend incorporating
into their respective countries the ter
ritories now occupied by them.
Trotzky clung to His demands for the
right of self-determination for all na
tionalities, and that prinepile,supported
by Lloyd-George and President Wilson,
has taken its place as almost the lead
ing peace term of tlie opponents of the
central powers. Tlie German General
Hoffman taunts tlie bolsheviki with tiro
fact that they are inconsistent because
they are fighting the Ukrainians, but
on the other hand Lenine, Trotzky and
their fellows have permitted the set
ting up of independent governments in
various parts of Russia because the
people so willed it. They have just
declared, also, that their government
supports tlie right of the Armenians
in Russia and Turkey to be independ
ent and to decide their own destiny.
The British government has so far rec
ognized the bolsheviki as to establish
official relations with tlieir minister in
London.
Turkestan announced its independ
ence on Tuesday.
Petrograd announced that after ten
days of fighting the bolsheviki forces
had seized Irkutsk, eastern Siberia;
disarming the Cossacks and military
cadets. They also have occupied Oren
burg.
Among tlie interesting reports that
came out of Russia was one to the
effect that tlie former czar and his
family had made their escape from
Tobolsk. Another story said the for
mer czarina lias become hopelessly in
sane.
Tlie abandonment of the Roumanian
front by the Russian troops led to a
nasty little row. Roumanians arrested
and disarmed several Russian regi
ments, and the Russian government at
once put under arrest the Roumanian
diplomats in Petrograd and threatened
war on Roumania if the Russian sol
diers were not at once freed. A strong
joint protest by representatives of all
tlie allied and neutral powers brought
about the release of the Roumanian
diplomats.
Then came an astonishing order
from tlie bolsheviki government for
the arrest of King Ferdinand of Rou
mania and his incarceration in the
fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul. This
was attributed to the action of the
Roumanians in arresting some Aus
trian officers who had attempted to
pass through the Roumanian lines to
fraternize with the Russians.

The British labor party came to the
front on Tuesday with a message to
the Russian people announcing that
the British people accepted the prin
ciple of self-determination of peoples
and no annexations for the British em
pire, especially in tlie middle East, Af
rica and India. The manifesto con
cluded with an appeal to the peoples
of central Europe to help end the war
by the defeat of militarism on both
sides, and not to drive the British peo
ple, as they are driving the Russians,
into the terrible choice between con
tinuing the. conflict and abandoning the
only principles that can save the world,
—to—
There is not much to be written oi
the week’s fighting. Tlie German pa
pers were talking openly of the com
ing great offensive on the west front
and asserted that a million more troops
had been sent, into France, but Von
•Hindenburg still delayed the blow. Tlie
activity of the aviators was notable,
and the allied flying men made several
successful bombing raids on German
cities, Karlsruhe especially being hard
hit.
In Italy the main event of the week
was a surprise attack by the Italians,
supported by the French, by which cer
tain important dominating positions on
Monte Asolone were wrested from the
Austrians and their observation posts
destroyed.
On Wednesday the Austrians made
a desperate attempt to recapture the
lost positions. For four hours they at
tacked fiercely and were stubbornly
fought off, finally retiring, leaving the
field covered with their dead.

Tlie German submarines have not
been very active of late, the weekly re
port of the British admiralty showing
only six large British vessels and four
smaller ones sunk. One of the sub
mersibles, however, emerged off Yar
mouth and shelled that pretty English
city violently. Three persons were
killed.
Further evidence that the submarine
service is most distasteful to the Ger
man sailors is contained in the report
from Geneva of another mutiny among
the submarine crews at Kiel, the Ger
man naval base. Thirty-eight officers
are said to have been killed. The num
ber of U-boats returning to German
ports is decreasing every month, ac
cording to the Geneva correspondent.

France is in the throes of anew Cail
laux scandal, the former premier being
now under arrest on a charge of trea
son. The affair was brought to a crisis
by information supplied by Secretary
Lansing, for it appears that Caillaux
engaged in intrigues with Count von
Luxburg in Argentina in 1915 and was
in communication with the foreign of
fice at Berlin with the object of con
cluding peace. His plotting in Italy
also has been exposed and documents
seized there show he planned to make
himself dictator of France and to with
draw that country from fhe war.
WHEN MASEFIELD FIRST SANG
Author of Many Songs as a Youngster
Often Lulled His Boss' Baby
to Sleep.
In the hidden recesses of Paradise
alley you may see a service flag with
one star. But how are you to see Para
dise alley? It is in Greenwich village.
The entrance is through a hole in the
wall in Sixth avenue, between Jeffer
son Market jail and Eleventh street,
recalls a writer in the New York Mail.
In Paradise alley there is a row of
quaint dwellings that seem to slant in
outrageous fashion. In fact, everything
in Paradise alley is strange to the point
of queerness. But once within the alley
you forget the world and its bustle.
You are in a land far away.
Around the corner from Paradise al
ley is Patchln place. If memory does
not serve ill it was in this queer back
water spot that John Masefield ate and
slept and rocked the cradle of a man
child in the days when he “tended bar”
in New York town. A queer lad was
John Mansefield. A thousand songs
struggled for birth in his brain. The
world knows many of these songs to
day, for he ranks in the second flight
of living poets.
But wheu John Masefield “tended
bar” in Greenwich village and ate and
slept at the boss’ home in Patchin
place, the only part of the public that
got the benefit of his poems was the
boss’ baby, for Masefield, while lie
waited for the boss’ wife to cook a
meal or “set” the table, had to rock
the cradle and sing to keep the child
from raising the roof with his wails.
The babe never cried when John
Masefield sang. It is the testimony of
that good wife of the boss that she
never could make head or tail out of
the songs the queer youth sang—they
neither had rhyme, nor reason, nor
things that songs should have. They
were like chants, she says.
But the baby seemed to make them
out, even if his mother could not.
Never a wail came from him while
John Masefield sang.
Value of a Good Look-Out.
Speaking of the value of a careful
lookout as a protection against the
submarine, the first lord of the admir
alty, Sir Eric Geddes, said that if a
submarine is sighted by the lookout
on a vessel —whether the vessel is
armed or not makes no difference —It
is seven to three on the ship in favor
of its getting away. Out of every ten
attacks, when the submarine is sight
ed by the ship, seven of them fail, but
of every ten attacks when the subma
rine is not sighted eight ships go
down. In this connection we note that
Sir Alfred Yarrow offered, some
months ago, a monetary reward to the
first seaman on any merchant vessel
to detect the presence of a submarine.
In the case of the American destroyer,
recently sunk, it will be noted that
the presence of a submarine was not
known until the ship was torpedoed.
Will some American offer a similar
bonus for the seamen on our ships?—
Scientific American.
War Beer in Germany.
Reports from Berlin recently re
ceived in London show that the kaiser’s
subjects are facing a further reduction
in the supply of beer, says the New
York Times. The amount of malt
available for brewing has just been
fixed, and, whereas the amount for the
last year was 25 per cent of the peace
quota, the amount for the next year is
to be only 10 per cent in North Ger
many, and 15 per cent in Bavaria.
When the requirements of the army
and of the munitions factories —which
in Germany get precedence—have
been met, there will be enough malt to
provide the civil population with about
one-third of its consumption in peace
time, but the beer is only the thin
“war beer.” The barley harvest in the
rest of Germany has been bad, and
there is now a great increase in the
proportion of barley that is used for
food.
After the War.
“I shall want some money today,
dear,” said George Pipwhistle to his
wife before the latter set out for busi
ness one morning in 1927. And Mrs.
Pipwhistle, grumbling the while, hand
ed out the chips and waved her hand
from the garden gate as she made a
dash for the eight-nineteen.
Three hours after Mrs. P. had re
turned from the city, George Pipwhis
tle came in. He had a mountain of
parcels in his arms and the light of
triumph in his eyes.
“Yes,” he pented, as he untied the
parcels and dis closed four corkscrews,
a stuffed owl, an assortment of paint
brushes, a remnant of a cloth-bound
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” six walking
sticks, a toasting fork, a brace of tin
openers, and a roasting jack. “Such a
scramble! It’s just about the best
bargain sale that ever was I”
America Now Leads in Toys.
“American manufacturers are mak
ing 90 per cent of the toys being sold
in this country today, and they are
never going to let this wonderful and
profitable industry which has been de
veloped since the war to slip out of
their hands.”
That statement was made by Wil
liam G. Whittemore, manager of the
stationery and novelty department of
the American News Company, says the
New York Journal of Commerce. Mr.
Whittemore was in Germany when war
was declared, buying toys for his con
cern. This was before the war, cne
of his duties, but it is doubtful if suffi
a trip will ever be necessary after
peace is declared because of the fact
that the American toy manufacturer
has taken hold of his problem with
such aptitude afid facility.
