WNU—7 45—45 Watch Your Kidneys/ Help Them Cleanse the Blood of Harmful Body Waste Your kidneys are constantly filtering waste matter from the blood str im. But kidneys sometimes lag in their work—do not act as Nature intended—fail to re move impurities that, if retained, may poison the system and upset the whole body machinery. Symptoms may be nagging backache, persistent headache, attacks of dizziness, getting up nights, swelling, puffiness under the eyes—a feeling of nervous anxiety and loss of pep and strength. Other signs of kidney or bladder dis order are sometimes burning, scanty or too frequent urination. There should be no doubt that prompt treatment is xviser than neglect. Uss Doan’s Pills.

Far Eastern Commission Await Arrival of Russians DEPARTMENT OF PEACE WASHINGTON. — This columnist recently proposed that we begin thinking a little more about the Ser mon on the Mount in our internation al relations, and among other things establish a Department of Peace. It was suggested that along with the Department of War and the navy department, we set up as our first line of defense a Department of P'jace to promote the idea that the only alternative to the atom bomb is to teach the world and ourselves that we must get along with each other. One aftermath of this idea is sig nificant. It occurred in the appro priations committee of the house of representatives the other day when its members voted appropriations for the state department. It happens that the nearest thing we have to a Department of Peace is the Department of State. Tha-t or ganization is by no means perfect, and might not be ideal to operate a Department of Peace. But its n^w chief, Jimmy Byrnes, has some good ideas -and is working hard to establish new bureaus for spreading goodwill and helping peace. He is trying to carry on the ideas of the office of war information which furnished propaganda to newspa pers, aimed toward a better under standing of the USA. Byrnes is also trying to raise salaries. For years state department officials have struggled along on starvation wages. This is partly the fault of the wealthy career clique which wanted to keep wages low and thus oper ate a closed shop for themselves. So Secretary of State Byrnes is try ing to raise diplomatic wages as the first step toward having aler* dip lomats guard the peace front. However, when Byrnes’ appropri ation bill got up before his old friends in congress the other day, the house appropriations committee slashed it to ribbons. They particu larly cut the new agencies patterned on the general idea of a Depart ment of Peace. MRS. ROOSEVELT’S TRAVELS Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt will soon be off on another globe-girdling tour designed to help international relations. This time Mrs. Roosevelt plans to visit Russia as well as other war-ravaged nations in Europe. In recent weeks, she has been tak ing a more vocal, outspoken posi tion on public issues. Although she denied having blasted Secretary of State Byrnes publicly for his han dling of the foreign minister confer ence, Mrs. Roosevelt has been very sharp in private conversations about the way Truman and Byrnes have been rocking the ship of state, espe cially when it comes to foreign af fairs. Mrs. Roosevelt claims age is creeping up on her, but to an out side observer she gives no evidence of slowing down. She is now almost as active as she was before her hus band’s death — certainly still the most forthright lady ever to live ia the White House. WHY MEN LEAVE NAVY Worried about the failure of men and officers to remain in the navy, Secretary of the Navy Forrestal re cently put out an order to naval sep aration centers to interview the next 100 reserve officers who came up for discharge. The result showed bitter resentment on the part of reserve of ficers against the Annapolis clique. Here are some typical interviews quoted verbatim: “The only reason I would join the navy again would be if I were starv ing.” “It’s mighty late for the navy to try to sell itself tc reservists.” “I think the officers of the regular navy are grasping, pushing and self- centered.” “The attitude of the majority of Annapolis officers to reservists is that they are to be endured only for tfte time being.” “The Annapolis grads should cast aside their childish attitude.” MERRY-GO-ROUND C. Judge Samuel Rosenman, one of Franklin Roosevelt’s closest friends, I has become a staunch defender of Mississippi’s George Allen, who holds a similar position with Harry Truman. To his skeptical New Deal friends. Judge Rosenman protests, “But George is a liberal.” Allen, a protege of the late Senator Pat Harrison and an insurance execu tive, spends part of'every morning with Truman going over his prob lems. C. The White House is quietly pass ing the word around to newsmen not to pacK. their bags. There will be no more presidential junkets for quite a while. Truman got enough kidding about his journey to the Missouri county fair to last him a long time. C. OPA estimates that 700,000 vet erans and their families have no place to live. Their wives and chil dren have been living “doubled up” while the G.I.s were out fighting. Now the veterans want a home of their own and can’t find it. Reports coming to me say that homeless vet erans will stage a demonstration in New York City. CThe house committee on un-Amer- ! ican activities has investigated ex- I Sen. Robert Reynolds’ Nationalist party. But, according to Investi gator George McDavitt, it found nothing wrong with this group. Members of the Far Eastern commission hold open meeting at state department and are addressed by Secretary of State Byrnes. Most of the work at hand was delayed awaiting arrival of the Russian members. Shown left to right: T. A. Stone, Canada; C. A. Berendsen, New Zealand; P. E. Naggair, France; Ambassa dor Wei Tao-Wing, China; Lord Halifax, Great Britain, and Secretary of State Byrnes. The problem: control of Japan will be the consern of the commission. Big Chinese Welcome for American Leathernecks mmm The usually phlegmatic Chinese let themselves go with wild enthusiasm to welcome the first contingent of U. S. marines that arrived in Tientsin, China, during the occupation of North China. The cheering crowd stood like this from dawn until the leathernecks arrived late at night. The leathernecks are well known by the Chinese, for during peacetime some U. S. marines were always on duty in that country. President Approves New Banner vv vvyi*? President Truman has accepted the new presidential flag, which had been designed by orders of President Roosevelt. The eagle is looking toward t'** olive branch of peace clutched in its right talon, instead of toward .iJ left talon holding arrows symbolic of war, as was the case in the fon.icr presidential flag. Star in each corner has also been omitted. The change of omitting the four stars was made when five-star generals were authorized. Leaders of Revolutionary Junta f§k Members of the revolutionary Junta, which disposed Venezuelan President Medina and bis government, are pictured in the Mira Flores palace after they had taken over control of the government.

Salt Water Taffy: Flat-top crews are very proud of their ships. A mechanic’s mate on a carrier was once asked by a civil ian how fast his ship couid go. . . . The m. m. intoned with a twinkle in his orb; “To tell the truth, I don’t know. We’ve never really opened her up. All my carrier is required to do so far is to keep up with its planes.” This has become a Navy classic: An ensign and lieutenant on a sub chaser were feuding because they were both Romeoing the same gal. Each took a turn at making the | day’s entries in the log book. One day the ensign was surprised to dis- ' cover the lieutenant had written: “August 14; ensign drunk.” . . . He hesitated a moment and then wrote: “August 15; lieutenant sober.” An admiral, watching a young sailor labor eagerly but clumsily on the quarterdeck, asked: “How long have you been in the Navy, son?” ... ‘Two months,” the boy replied. ‘How long have you been in?” . . . The admiral was taken slightly aback, but he good-naturedly an swered: “Thirty years.” . . . The sailor shook his head sympathetical ly and said: “It’s hell, ain’t it?” There are many tales about haughty ensigns getting their come uppance. One of the best concerns the new one who behaved as if he were a combination of John Paul Jones and Lord Nelson. His captain decided to take him down a few pegs. . . . During a heavy storm he ordered the ensign to go on deck and figure out the ship’s position by dead reckoning, a task which is practically impossible. Finally the ensign returned and presented the results of his computation. The cap tain studied the report for a mo ment and then bellowed: “Take off your hat, sir! I see by your findings that we are in the middle of West minster Abbey!” Chalk up another defeat for cen sors: A Navy wife was irked by blue- pencilers, who continually cut up let ters from her sailor-hubby. But she had her revenge. She sent her hus band a letter in the form of a jig saw puzzle. The censor worked for hours piecing it together. The mis sive read: “Don’t work too hard!” Have you heard the one about the famed absent-minded admiral? He was piloting a seaplane when the commander of the ship noticed he was gliding toward an aerodrome. “Excuse me,” the commander said diplomatically, “but it would be bet ter to come down on the sea. This is a seaplane.” . . . The admiral thanked him for the reminder, turned and landed safely on the wa ter. He then stated: “Commander, I thank you. I shall not forget the tact with which you drew my at tention to the blunder I was about to make.” . . . The admiral then opened the door—and stepped into the ocean. A group of sailors were shooting the breeze about their pet subject— gals. One was asked if he liked intel lectual girls. He responded quickly: “I like a girl with a good head on my shoulder.” They would have you believe this happened in the South Pacific during one of the war’s biggest battles. Guns were firing in all directions and bombs were falling when one gunner suddenly got the hiccups. He turned to a buddy and shouted: “Hey, I’ve got the hiccups. Do something to frighten me!” Seapower, the Navy mag, recent ly relayed this story: A homesick gob from Utah kept his watch on Mountain Standard Time. He ex plained why: “When I joined the Navy, Pa gave me this watch. He said it would help me remember home. When my watch says 5 a. m., I know Dad is rolling out to milk the cows. And any night it says 7:30, I know the whole family’s around a well-spread table, and Dad is thanking God for what’s on it and asking Him to watch over me. I can almost smell the hot biscuits and bacon. It’s thinking about those things that maizes me want to fight when the going gets tough. I can find out what time it is where I am easy enough. What I want to know is what time it is in Utah.” Overheard conversation between a navy flier and a submariner: “What did you see up there?” asked the sub-man. . . . “No angels,” re plied the flier. “What did you see?’* “No mermaids.” Mrs. Joseph Longbreak, one of 40 New Zealand war brides to arrive recently at Los Angeles, is demon strating her A-La-Kangaroo carrier for six-m''nths-o!d baby Wavre.

Johnny Found Soda Pop To Be Highly Potent Stuff A story is being told about a couple of moonshiners who came out of the mountains of Kentucky to ride on a train for the first time. To them it was a great experi ence. Before they got on the train they saw some folks drinking soda pop. Being thirsty, they decided to buy a couple of bottles of the beverage. When the train started, one of them pried the cap off the bottle and started to drink the contents just as the train entered a tunnel. “How is it, Johnny, how is it?” inquired the other. To which Johnny replied: “Don’t touch it! Don’t touch it! It’s made me blind already!” ■RELIEVES MISERIES OF- r Penetrate* If Stimulate* touppor broncMol Dip chost and back tubes with Its soothing surfeces like a good,, medicinal vapora-. warming poultice.
