; . THL EACUE OF NATIONS ,Article Dictated Shortly Before the Ex-President's Death Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 13.-(From the Kansas City Star.)-An article on the league of nations, the last con tribution that Col. Theodore Roose volt prepared for the Kansas City ;'Star, appeared in that paper today. ...he. editorial was dictated Friday, :1January 3, and his secretary expected - tb take the typed copy to him for correction on the following Monday. .Instead she was notified early that morning of his death. The article follows: "It is, of course, a serious misfor tune that our people are not getting A clear idea of what is happening on the other side. For the moment the point as to which we are foggy is the league of nations. We, all of us, only we wish to be sure that it will help and not hinder the cause of world peace and justice. There is not a young man in this country who has fought, or an old man who has seen those lear to him fight, who does not wish to minimize the chance of fu ture war. But there is not a man of sense who does not know that in any such movement if too much is at tempted the result is either failure or worse than failure.

IT'S NOT YOUR] IT'S' Kidney dlisease is no respecter of persons. A majority of the ills af flicting people today can be traced back to kidney trouble. Trhe kidneys are the most import ant organs of the body. They are the filterers, the purifiers, of your blood. Kidney disease is usually indicatedl by weariness, -sleeplessness, nervous ness, despondency, backache, stomach trouble, pain in loins aridl lower ab domien, gall stones, gravel, rheuma tism, sciatica and lumbago. All these derangements are nature's signals to warn you that the kidneys need help. You should use GOLD MEDA L Hlaarlem Oil Capsules im mediately. The soothing, healing oil teen points. Some of the fourteen points will probably have to be con strued as having a mischievous sen tence, a smaller number might be construed as being harmless, and one or two even as beneficial, but nobody knows what Mr. Wilson really means by them, and so all talk of adopting them as basis for a peace or league is nonsense, and if the talker is in telligent, it is insincere nonsense to boot. Mr. Wilson's recent utterances have given us absolutely no clue as to whether he really intends that at this moment we shall admit Russia, Germany--with whom, incidentally, we are still waging war-Turkey, China and Mexico in to a league on a full equality with ourselves. Mr. Taft has recently defined the purposes of the league and the limitations under which it would act, in a way that en ables most of us to say we very heartily agree in principle with his theory and can, without doubt, come to an agreement on specific details. "Would it not be well to begin with the league which we actually have in existence? The league of the Allies who have fought through this great war? Let us at the peace table .see that real justice is done as among those Allies and that while the stern est reparation is demanded from our foes for such horrors as those com mitted in Belgium, Northern France, Armenia and the sinking of the Lusi tania, nothing should be (lone in the spirit of mere vengeance.

For twelve yeais William *en nett was foreman at the br~uoklyn Navy Yard, Uncle Sam's hive of in dustry for the country's defense, where thousands of skilled worknen toil at the nation's vital work. ,1 It was from the ways of this great yard that some of our greatest dread naughts were launched. Mr. Bennett had a part in this work and there he saw the evolution of the American Navy worked out. Today Mr. Ben ged 68, is retired, living at 600 Gates Ave., Brooklyn. He is still the conservative, carefully speaking man of the Navy Yard days, 'and so the story he secently told will have add ed force. "For a long time," Mr. Bennett ex plained, "I kept having a pain in my chest, and a full, heavy, bloated feel ing in my stomach and abdomen. It felt as if I had eaten something. that disagreed with me, but I couldn't tell what. My food (lid not digest, but seemed to sour. and lie like a lump. I got so I couldn't eat vegetables at all. I lived on eggs and milk, and lots of times I didn't have an appe tite even for that diet. Besides, I had night sweats- and I could not really rest .more than an hour or two at night, and then only when I was all tired out. I had to ,be so tired I just dropped off to sleep. I took lots of medicine and was treated many times, but I just kept on feeling bad. But now," Mr. Bennett continued, "I feel better in every 'way. I can sleep all night long. .1 have a good appe tite and can eat anything with pleas ure because my stomach is easy and does not distress me, but digests my food. I feel so good I make it a rule to walk twenty to thirty blocks each day. "What did this for me? Why, Tan lac. So many people told me about Tanlac that, though I really did not believe all of it because I didn't think and medicine could be as good as they said it was, I decided to try it. And I only took two bottles," he added. Tamlac, the reconstructive, system purifier and tonic, is designed to go to the root of such troubles as Mr. Bennett had. It is designed to create real digestion and assimilation of food that is good and nourishing and so build strength through blood and tis sues. Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is sold by Dickson's Drug Store, Manning; H. W. Nettles, Jordan; Shaw & Plow den, New Zion: Farmers' Supply Co., Silver; D. C. Rhame, Summerton. the league as rapidly as their conduct warrants it to other nations, doubt less discriminating between those who would have a guiding part in the league and the weak nations who would be entitled to the privileges in membership but who would not be en titled to a guiding voice in the coun cils. Let each nation reserve to it self and for its own decision, and let it clearly set forth questions which are non-justifiable. Let nothing be (lone that will interfere with our pre paring for our own defense by intro ducing a system of universal obli gatory military training. Finally, make it perfectly clear that we do not intend to take a posi tion of an international meddlesome matter. The American people do not wish to go into an overseas war un less for a very great cause and where the issue is absolutely plain. Therefore, wo (do not wish to under take the responsibility of sending our gallant young men to (lie in obscure fights in the Balkans or in Centrail Europe, or' in a war we do not ap prove of. Moreover the American people (d0 not intendI to give up the Monroe dloctrine. Let civilizedl Eu rope andl Asia introdluce some kind of police system in the weak andl dis ordIerly countries at their threholds. But let the United States treat Mex.. ico as our Balkan peninsular and re fuse to allowv European or Asiatic ow~ers to interfere on this continent in any, way that implies permanent or sem i- permannent possession. Every one of our Allies will with delight grant this request if President Wil son chooses to make It, and it will be a great misfortune if it is not SUMING UiP THE [VIDENDE Many Manning People Have Been Called as Witnesses. Week after week has been publish ed the testimony of Manning people kidney suifferers-backache victims people who have endured nmany forms of kidney, bladder or urinary dlisor dlers. These wvitnesses have used Dean's Kidney Pills. All have given their enthusiastic approval. It's the same everywhere. 60,000 American men andl women are publicly recomn mendling Doan's-alwvays In the home napers. Isn't it a wondierful, convinc ing mass of proof ? If you are a suf ferer your verdlict must be "Try D~oan's first." Here's one more Manning case. W. N. Hi, says: "About two years ago I was troubled with my kidneyn. There were pains ""ros the small of my back andl it felt as if someone were sticking a knife into me. My nerves were all unstrung andl often times I had dizzy snells. I felt as if I wantedl to sleen all the time. A friend recommended Doan 's Kiriney Pills so I bough t some at Dickson's Drug Store. Donn's Kid nov Pills entirely en~redl me o* the trouble and I haven't been bothered since." Price 60c., at all dealers.
