DENU In Paris one realized at last the meaning of the “business of war.” It had entered into every phase of life. As our men commute to business, so the Pollus commute to the ftrenches, each trip of uncertain length; and in place of competition, financial or oth- erwise, they go to a business of life and death, writés Willlam Beebe in the Atlantic Monthly. ‘Few men could show the same vigor and enthusiasm as do these Poilus, For years they had faced high’ adventure S TELEPHEONE 923, Entered at the postoffice at Bemidji, Minn., as second-class matter under act of Congress of March 8, 1879.

Keep your kidneys clean like - you keep your bowels clean, by flushing them with a mild, harmless salts which removes the body’s urinous waste and stimulates thiem to their normal activity. The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the. viial imortance of keeping the kidneys active. _ Drink| lots of water—you can’t drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ouncés of Jad| Salts; take a tablespoon in a glass of water before breakfast each morn- ing for a few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; || also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irrita- tion, thus ending bladder weakness.

The defeat in congress of the amendment-of the revenue bill extending the selective draft to 40 years and backward to 18, if it indicates anything. like a permanent policy of the government, will place our country in a most anomalous ‘position. A . The call from overseas is for more and more men—millions and more millions of men. Already.the newspapers are re- porting from every section of the country that Class 1 of the former draft is practically exhausted. Secretary Baker has stated that we are transporting troops at the rate of 400,000 a month. The men coming of age in the past year number scqrcg%y a million, and not nearly all of these will be listed in Class 1. . v Many public men of sound judgment favored placing the age limit ag 40 or 45 in the beginning. This, it seems to us, would have been the wiser course. Our country has a wealth of good fighting material between the ages of 31 and 45. Thousands of these men would make capital soldiers. They are inured to life’s hard knocks, settled in their habits, and with very little training would be a match for Germany’s best. " The people of this country cannot afford. to permit them- selves to be lulled into a false sense of security. Just because the allies have held the western line; just because they have defeated the great Austrian offensive, is mo indication that victory is even remotely in sight. The German machine is still militant and it will take millions of Americans # bring the allied armies to a point where real offensive warfare can be risked.. There is a vast difference between holding the western line, and marching to Berlin. Germany must be greatly re- duced and the allies immeasurably strengthened before the latter move can be undertaken—and we must not even dream of relaxing our efforts until this is effected. 3 Our ship-building program assures us that transport fa- cilities will constantly increase from now on. Why, then, should all this unused material in fighting men—material -of the very best—be left unused? All the other allied nations have utilized all their available fighting force. 3 Som{a may ai{, who will ta}}(e %t,{he kpla,ces of these melr{l 'in | industrial life?

Today we of the United States need as never before the inspiration of the ideal. This is the darkest hour in the history of the western civilization. As it is met by us it will dissolve into a better day than we have yet seen, or be but the prelude of a deeper darkness. If this flag of ours is to help us, it must represent to us something more than an aggregation of people, something more than an epitome of government action—it must stand for a vision and the vision must be worthy. Let us look forward to a better America. Let our vision be of justice estab- lished, of right maintained among the nations. 0. - VIEW OF “CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR.” 7 (Editorial.) The postoffice department at Washington is interested in discovernig the most suitable elevation for the conveyance of the mails by aeroplane. Most,of the American papers which have considered the matter at all have recommended that, in view of the mostliness of this method of carrying mails, and the inexpediency of .utilizing good airmen for peace purposes whilst the nation is turning its attention to the successful prqse- cution of the war above the westerm front, the best altitude for the mails is on the ground. 0 .
