Keep Yourself Fit
You can’t afford to be laid up with
sore, aching kidneys in these days of

makes weak kidneys worse. If you feel
tired all the time, and suffer with lame
back, sharp pains, dizzy spells, head
aches and disordered kidney action, use
Doan’s Kidney Pills. It may save an
attack of rheumatism, dropsy, or

Rasputin’s Religious System.
The Christian Advocate reports the
Countess von Schaumber as giving
this succinct sketch of Rasputin’s
theology: ,
“He made fundamental the doctrine
that there was ‘no salvation without
repentance,’ and as the righteous need
for salvation was st heavy course in
sin. ‘Blessed are the sinful, for they’
shall be saved through repentance,’
was his diabolic beatitude. No won
der he had followers, or that he gave
practical lessons in sinning as a means
of grace.”
War Declared on
Rats by U. S. Gov’t.
The government at Washington is pre
paring a campaign that should be effec
tive in killing the rats that are so destruc
tive both to lives and property. A con
servative estimate places the loss of food
stuffs from rats at over two hundred mil
lion dollars annually, and in the present
scarcity of food, this loss must be pre
vented. The most efficient way to “Kill
the Rat” is by the use of Stearns’ Paste,
and thousands of dollars worth have been
bought by the government. Every house
keeper troubled with rats, mice, roaches
or waterbugs should buy a small box of
this reliable exterminator for thirty-five
cents, and stop further loss of food In
her home. Adv.
KING LEWANIKA’S STATE BOAT
Royal Craft Is 100 Feet Long, Carries
Monster Elephant Emblem, Court
Jester and Musicians.
“While traveling in Rhodesia,”
writes a contributor in the Wide World
Magazine. “I managed to get a glimpse'
of King Lewanika’s state barge. The
chief of the Barotse is a line fellow,
but I was much amused one afternoon
to see him going out for a row attired
in a top hat and a gaudy dressing
gown.
» “Soon after the rains commence the
Barotse valley is flooded and natives
migrate to the sandy belt some miles
away for the season. The king al
ways makes the trip in the royal barge,
an enormous craft about 100 feet long.
In the center are two compartments,
both covered in. one being the living
room and the other the sleeping quar
ters. On the roof of one of these com
partments is erected a monster ele
phant, a sort of kingly emblem,
while on the other stands the court
jester, who, on this occasion, amused
the populace by pretending to hunt
and shoot the elephant. A band of 20
musicians were accommodated on the
barge, in addition to whom there were
50 or 00 paddlers and a host of bailers,
for the barge was by no means water
tight. To the accompaniment of weird
music and barbaric song, the huge craft
was propelled along on its journey, the
return voyage taking place four or five
months later.”

When it comes to maintaining difficult positions, the armies at the front
must lake off their hats to this British munition worker. He is the well
known juggler, 40-H-P Zarma, who. at present is confining his efforts prin
cipally to making munitions for the Germans, though to the great regret of
Ihe Bodies they won't receive the munitions except through the muzzles of
British guns. However, between times Zarma finds opportunity to exhibit
his skill for the amusement of his fellow workers. The photograph shows
him at one of his clever tricks, standing on his head on a bottle and jug

Kiim
Sick and Wounded Soldiers to
Get as Good Care as in
Any Hospital.
RED CROSS MOST EFFICIENT
Best Surgeons and Best Nurses in
United States Sent With Army
to France—Only Graduate
Nurses May Serve.
Washington.—The greatest advance
made by the American Red Cross in
the science of looking after an army’s
welfare is In its nursing service. The
United States is the only nation
which entered the present war with a
fully enrolled and organized service
of trained nurses. The most rigid rule
of the Red Cross is that none but
graduate nurses shall he permitted to
serve as nurses in American war hos
pitals.
For the first time in history the
United States has sent to the front
with its forces a modern hospital
equipment. The sick and wounded
will receive as good care as they
could get in any hospital in the Unit
ed States. Fine buildings do not make,
a fine hospital—it is the surgical and
nursing attention which the patient re
ceives, and this attention can be given
in a tent as well as in a million-dollar
hospital building. The American Red
Cross is sending with the army the
best surgeons and the best nurses in
the United States —the best in the
world.
Only Trained Nurses Serve.
When the new Red Cross was or
ganized in 1905 the principle was
adopted at once that not only trained
nurses but nurses of character and
experience vouched for by recognized
hospitals could be enrolled in the nurs
ing service. Also It was recognized
that unless such a service were grad
ually built up In time of peace, unsat
isfactory nurses would be bound to
get into it in time of war. And so,
although ft seemed then that our
country could never again be drawn
into war, the work of organizing a
war-nursing service was started, with
the result that today the Red Cross
has enrolled nearly 12,000 nurses—the
pick of the trained nurses of the Unit
ed States. It is the one branch in
which the United States is thorough
ly prepared for war—better prepared,
in fact, than any nation which ever
went to war.
These are the qualifications of a
Red Cross nurse: She must have had
at least a two years’ course of train
ing in a general hospital with a dally
average of at least 50 patients; she
must he registered in states where
registration is required ; she must be
at least twenty-five and not over forty
years of age; she must be approved in
a personal interview with a member
of the local Red Cross committee; she
must show her intelligence by writing
an essay on some subject of nursing;
she must be indorsed by the executive
committee of an approved nurses’ or
ganization, by the superintendent of
the training school from which she
graduated, and by two members of the
local committee on Red Cross nursing

ii .
service; and finally she must pass a
physical examination.
Such requirements mean that only
the best nurses can be enrolled In the
Red Cross service.
Takes Soldier’s Oath.
When the enrolled Red Cross nurse
is called upon to go to the war she
takes an oath to support the Constitu
tion of the United States against all
enemies foreign and domestic—the
oath of the soldier. She receives an
appointment card and badge bearing
the same number. Congress has
placed a penalty upon the unauthor
ized wearing of the Red Cross nurses’
badge.
Her uniform was white, but has
been changed to gray on account of
the limited laundry facilities in Eu
rope, with a white cap and an arm
brassard bearing the Red Cross in
signia. She is also furnished a blue
cape marked with a red cross. This
uniform is more carefully protected
against unauthorized use than that of
a soldier in the army. In Europe, the
Red Cross societies were not so strict
in the protection of uniforms at first,
and they had cause to regret it. The
Red Cross uniform there was used by
spies, by women of bad reputation,

BLISTER BEETLE’S LIFE DUAL
Both Blessing and Pest, Is Classifica
tion of Indiana State En
tomologist.
Indianapolis.—A “pest and a bless
j ing all in one,” is the classification of
the blister beetle by Frank N. Wallace,
state entomologist. The beetle Is now
numerous in the fields of Indiana and
Is becoming a pest to a certain degree.
It is an aid to the farmer because of
its appetite for grasshoppers, how
ever. Discussing the insect Mr. Wal-
Ince said:
“During the season of 1916 the com
parative scarcity of blister beetles
was often commented on in this office,
and as grasshoppers were quite numer
ous. a pest of the grasshoppers was
predicted for the season of 1917. This
prediction came true and more dam
age has been done this season than for
many seasons past.
“However, the blister beetles are
found in such numbers over the state
that they are becoming a pest in many
fields, but also a blessing as they are
the greatest means of controlling
grasshoppers.”
USE FOR HORSE CHESTNUTS
British School Children Gather Them
to Supplant Grain for
Munitions.
London. —School children all over
England will devote their leisure time
during the next six weeks in gather
ing horse chestnuts, which the govern
ment is able to use in unlimited quan
tities in the manufacture of munitions.
Researches last year by the Royal so
ciety led to the discovery that horse
chestnuts provide a satisfactory sub
stitute for the grain used in certain
processes of munition making. Every
ton of horse chestnuts harvested will
save half a ton of grain for human
consumption. Plans made by the
school authorities indicate that more
than 300.000 tons of these chestnuts
will he turned over to the government
by school children this fall.
it —
supply for this material, in addition
to all this comes the further announce
ment that the government has decided
upon building immediately 19 ‘recon
struction’ hospitals in as many differ
ent cities, to wit: Boston, New' York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
Buffalo, Cincinnati. Chicago, St. Paul,
Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Mem
phis, Richmond, Va., Atlanta and New’
Orleans.
“By some it is contended that it will
require 4,000,000 feet of lumber for
each of the training camp hospitals,
while another report fixes the amount
at 7,500,000 feet. For the ‘reconstruc
tion’ hospitals 6,000,000 feet of lumber
will be required in each case and pos
sibly more.
Lumber for Camps in France.
"On this basis it Is easy to see that
the lumber companies will be called on
for at least 150,000,000 feet of lumber
for the training camp hospitals and
120,000,000 feet for the ‘reconstruction’
hospitals, or a grand total of 270,000,-
000 feet for these combined purposes.
Should these orders overrun as much
as the training camp orders did, tbe
amount of lumber and timbers for
these hospitals will be nearer 300,-
000,000 feet than less. In the mean
time lumber for the American troop
camps in Fraqce will call for many
more millions of feet of lumber in the
near future.
“There are besides all this work of
future construction several officers’
training camps yet to be built in dif
ferent parts of the country, for which
the contracts will soon be let, aviation
camps of different kinds that the gov
ernment will have to bull#, the exact
type of which has not as yet been fully
agreed upon, all of which are under
consideration by the proper heads,
