KEPT HER AWAKE
The Terrible Pains in Back and
Sides. Cardui Gave Relief.
Marksville, La.-Mrs. Alice Johnson,
of this place, writes: "For one year I
suffered with an awful misery in my back
and sides. My left side was hurting me
all the time. The misery was something
awful.
I could not do anything, not even sleep
at night. It kept me awake most of the
night... I took different medicines, but
nothing did me any good or relieved me
until I took Cardui...
1 was not able to do any of my work
for one year and I got worse all the time,
was confined to my bed off and on. 1 got
so bad with my back that when I stooped
down I was not able to straighten up
again ... I decided I would try Cardui
... By time 1 had taken the entire bottle
I was feeling pretty good and could
straighten up and my pains were nearly
all gone.
I shall always praise Cardui. I con
tinued taking it until I was strong and
well." If you suffer from pains due to
female complaints, Cardui may be just
what you need. Thousands of women
who once suffered in this way now praise
Cardui for their present god health.

MARTIN KILGODE, TURNED DOWN
IN CANADA, HAS BEEN IN TEXAS
VIEWING THE AVIATION CAMPS
THERE.
AUSTIN. Texas, March 6.—Martin
Kilgore, ninety-three years old of To
ronto Canada, is making a tour of the
army aviation camps in Texas. He
recently visited the Canadian zyers at
Fort Worth and came from there to
Austin to have a look at the school
of military aeronautics, where there
are 1,200 aviator pupils. Mr. Kilgore
is intensely interested in the war. He
says he offered his services to the
Canadian government, and was turn
ed down on account of his age. He de
clares he is able to do active service
He is over six feet tall, commanding
in appearance, with a long white
beard. H e has never been ill a day in
his life, and he attributes his good
health and long life to the fact that
he “does as he dang pleases."
Mr. Kilgore’s four sons enlisted in
the Princess Patt regiment and one
fell at the Battle of the Marne, an
other died at Vimy Ridge.
Os the two remaining, he says:
“They may have been killed. If
they are I give them freely for the
cause we are fighting for. Were it
not for my years I would be in the
army. The department claims I am
too old. I say I’m not. I can do my
bit right now if I were allowed to. I
can shoot as straight as any man in
the army.
“The entry of the United Stated
into the war means we will win.
Without America’s aid we would have
had to sacrifice thousands and thou
sands, where now America’s prestige
and influence and finances will save
us. I know of hundreds of young
Americans who enlisted in the Cana
dian contingents. Many have become
officers. All deserve the name Ameri
can. There is but little distinction be ■
tween the American and Canadian
fighters. Practically they are of the
same blood. They are fighting for the
same aims, and they are going to
win."
GERMANS HOME IRON
SUPPLY NOW LIMITED
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, March 6
--The fact that that Germany’s home
supplies of iron ore are limited, cou
pled with misgivings as to difficulties
of post-war imports, is believed to be
at the bottom of the clamor raised in
German industrial circles for the pos
session of the ore-fields in “Naboth’s
vineyard,” just across the French bor
der—the basins of Briey and Longwy.
Professor K. Hager, the new rector
of the Munich Technical High school,
in a paper read the other day before
King Ludwig, of Bavaria, and a distin
guished audience, told his hearers that
the ore supplies of Germany would
only hold out 66 years longer at the
rate of the present annual output of
19,290,000 tons. This is without tak
ing into account the imports, which
before the war averaged 18,900,000
tons annually.
As for coal, of which Germany uses
157,000,000 tons annually, there are
supplies for the next 2,500 years, tho
pro’essor said. He added that Ger
many had three times as much iron
ore as England, and double the amoun'
of coal.
To deal with the iron situation af
ter the war, Professor Hager made
the following suggestions: (1) to ac
quire foreign ore fields; (2) to raise
the imuportation of foreign or© by
means of tariff regulations; () to re
duce exports of iron, also old iron, (4)
to make the trade in old iron a state
monopoly, and (5) to reduce the iron
consumption in Germany itself to a
minimum. To attain the latter end.
he urges the use of ferro-concrete,
wood, china and cement articles wher
ever possible, instead of cast iron,
while it would also be advisable to
perfect the present methods for pre
venting rust.
SISTERS KISS FLAG
TO ESCAPE DUCKING
TRENTON, N. J., March 6.—Given
their choice of swearing allegiance to
the American flag or receiving a duck
ing in a acnal Elizabeth and Margaret
Paine, sisters, chose the former and
kissed the colors at a local pottery,
where they were employed. The dis
copUnary atetion was enforced by their
fellow workers, mostly women, after
the sisters had been heard to make
disparaging remarks about a contin
gent of national army men whe yes
terday marched away to camp Tho I
sisters are American, born of German I
parents.

suiting remarks about the United

One remark was, “To hell with the
American flag!” He was sentenced
today in the city court to six months
in jail by Judge Samuel Yong. His
defense was that he was drunk.
HARDSHIPS EXPERIENCED
THE BRITISH 111 TURKEY
LONDON, March 6.—Some of the
hardships experienced 6y the Brit
ish forces in Palestine are described
inu a letter received here from a
priest. The letter, written shortly be
fore the fall of Jerusalem, tells of *
day early in November when a camel
convoy from Beersheba was unable to
reach the men then fighting for the
deliverance of the Holy City from
the Turk.
“There was a hot wind blowing,”
wrote the priest| “A tumbler full of
water was left in my bottle, which I
divided between four officers whose
lips were split and covered with green
slime. That afternoon I had a burial
service, and, literally I could not ar
ticulate without keeping my hand to
my mouth and pulling my lower lip
off my teeth, while bullets from a
concealed sniper whizzed past us. In
the evening water came in, enough to
give each one bottle —quite inade
quate.
Portraits of Poets Discovered.
RIMIMINI, Italy March 6.—Por
traits of Italy’s two greatest poets,
Dante and Petrarch, have been discov
ered in the church of St. Augustine.
The likenesses represent the poets in
their youth and form part of large
fresco paintings made by students, It
is supposer, of the celebrated Giotto
and covered over in 1630, after the
Black Death pest of that year when
the walls of many hundreds of
churches in Italy were whitewashed,
independent of the artistic value of
the frescoes, it is stated they will be
preserved in order to settle disputes 1
as to the appearance of the two poets
when young.

PROPOSED THAT PRISONERS IN
FEDERAL PRISONS SHALL BK
PUT TO WORK ON MAKING WAR
SUPPLIES.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 6.
Mobilization of all the nation’s prison
ers for the production of war sup
plies is the latest war legislation laid
before congress. The Committee on
Labor has favorably reported the
measure, which is app.robed by Presi
dent Wilson. Secretary of War Baker,
Secretary of Navy Daniels and Secre
tary of Labor Wilson.
“The bill provides for the employ
ment of the prisoners in such a man
ner that their competition will in no
way be unfair and prejudicial to the
free workingmen.’’ Chairman Maher
oz the Labor Committee said. “Th®
number of prisoners affected can be
estimated from the following fates:
“The annual papulation of the state
prisons and penitentiaries was 498,.
934 at the last enumeration, with a
daily population o f 111,500.
“The federal prisons had an annual
population of 6,803, with a dally popu
lation of 4,276.
“The population of the army prisons
on February J, IJIB, was 2,000. The
population of the navy prisons on the
s j .me date was 2,100, an increase from
610, or 350 per cent since the war be
gan.
“The proposed lay will give pris
onuers an opporutnity to show their
patriotism and help to relieve the
labor situation. In a time like this,
when the man power of the nation is
strained to itg utmost sacrizce its
labor and its life, there is no justice
in allowing persons in prison for the
commission of crime to remain idle or
inefficiently employed. In this de
mand the public sentiment is at one
with the convicted man himself, who
pleads for the opportunity to erpiate
his crime by a sacrifice on the altar
of patriotism.

BATH-TUB DANCES
STARTLE NEW YORK
NEW YORK, March 6.—The main
I interest in the entertainment provided
by Helen Moller and her dancing
pupils at the Metropolitan opera house
yesterday afternoon had to do not with
Miss Moller’s appreciation of the Greek
ideal in dancing, hut with the most
prasic query, had she or hadn’t she
anything on?
Miss Moller might argue that this
item was nothing to do with the case
and that her work must be considered
from the viewpoint of art alone. Any
how, the query loomed big all after
noon and attained its climax in the
Vaise Lente number in which those
who-ought to know such matters
claimed she hadn't. This was sup
ported by hisses indicating the pres
ence of some in the big audience
whose ideas of the Greek practice dif
fered from Miss Moller’s.
Certainly Miss Moller used a far
more effective lighting arrangement
for this effect than the staunchest de
votee of ancient Athens or Dolis ever
dreamed of. It was one that complete
ly baffled this modest chronicler of
her performance and she is still in
the dark, as it were. So was she ex
cept for the few ’thrilling seconds
when she leapt across the stage, dis
closing herself in the most primitive
cf hot weather costumes.
Prior to this Miss Moller had ex
hibited a group of her dancing pupils,
all very small youngsters, and judg
ing from the habiliments, the proper
place for them was in the bath tub
or home in bed.
