KENTUCKY'S PART IN UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN. Kentucky's part in the great nation-wide war drive to raise ?170, 500,000 for the comfort and morale of the boys serving with the flag "over there," "over here" and with the battleships everywhere, will be enthusiastically boosted at a big meeting to be held at theSeelbach Hotel, in Louisville, to-day, Friday, Sept. 13th, and will be attended by representatives from all parts of the State. - The great national United War Work Campaign is to be carried on jointly by-the seven welfare bodies recognized by the War Department in Europe. This is at the suggestion of President Wilson and the following organizations will participate: The Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the Knights of Columbus, the Jewish Welfare Board, the American Library Association, the War Camp Commu nity Service and the Salvation Army. As originally planned, the week of Nov. 11th, was to be given over to the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W, C. A., the War Camp Community Service and the American Library Associa tion to raise $130,500,000 for their united work the coming year. The Knights of Columbus, the Jewish Welfare Board and the Salvation Army were to stage a similar drive the middle of January. At the recent request of President Wilson all seven agencies are now to unite in one big drive the week of November 11th and the goal has been set at $170,500,000, the largest sum ever proposed for such a purpose in the history of the world. Definite plans for the campaign will be outlined at a complimentary luncheon to be held at the Seelbach Hotel in Louisville, Friday at noon, and will be addressed by the follow ing speakers, Sherwood Eddy, New York; W. P. Sidley, Chicago; Leon ard Paulson, Chicago; Mrs. Henry P. Davidson, of New York, and others. This meeting will be attended by represntatives of the seven agencies from all parts of the State and will be the largest conference of its kind ever held in Kentucky. fe fe ?i DON'T CRIPPLE PRODUCTION. (New York Commercial.) We must conserve money and credit for the winning of the war, but we must not cripple production. The cost of this war must come out of the wealth we create as we go along. Banks are the trustees of the people. Their actual capital is only a drop in the bucket. Ninety per cent, of the money they lend consists of the deposits they receive, and these de posits come from the people who pro duce real wealth. If the banks are forced to refuse money to merchants and manufacturers, and trade and in dustries are crippled, the sources of taxation and subscriptions for lib erty bonds will be dried up. Amer ica is threatened with interferences with ordinary business that may lessen the ability of the people to supply the sinews -of' war.- For this reason official letters of J advice to banks to curtail the extension of credit are creating anxiety. The bet ter way would be to stimulate pro duction and create new wealth upon which' the G'oVefrfmeht could draw. CHANGE NOTION' ABOUT CALOMEL.

Help No woman should consider herself bealthy and well if the kidneys are weak. Poisons that pass off in the secretions when the kidneys are well are retained in the body when the kidneys are disordered. If the kid neys and bladder become inflamed and swollen worse troubles may quickly follow. This is often the cause of bearing-down pains, lame ness, backache, etc. Uric poisoning is also frequent cause of headaches, diz zy spells, languor, nervousness and rheumatic pain. When suffering so, try Doan's Kid ney Pills, a remedy that has proven effective in thousands of such cases. Let a Paris woman tell of her expe rience. Mrs. A. L. Burley, 329 Eighth St., says: "I have used Doan's Kidney Pills, getting them from the Ardery Drug Co., and from the benefit I re ceived, I certainly think they are a good, reliable remedy. Whenever my kidneys have acted irreguarly or my back has been weak and lame, I have used a box or so of Doan's Kidney Pills. They have always relieved me of the complaint." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Burley had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. (adv) 1 Ps fe AMERCANS IN CANADA.
