"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans"
'l'HK TROUKLEMAKER
As a troublemaker, according to
the Seattle Post Iuteligencer, the
German kaiser ha3 never bee a sur
passed. Concerning his influence
ia China and elsewhere, it says:
"China's present re-volution, it is
stated by Dr. Hugh de Valin, of
the federal health service ia the
Philippines, is another manifesta
tion ot" the kaiser's ability to em
broil nations iu trouble. German,
t-old is being paid to croatg dissea
siom among Chinese aad prevent
thfe republic from entering the war
ou lUtj >ide of the allies. The Wash
inj,tou government, in its -recent
very friendly note, has suggested
to China that its entrance into the
war against Germany is of second
ary importance, and. that the princi
pal necessity is to -resume and con
f;;iue the political entity of the re
public. This seems entirely rea
sonable; China could exort little in
fluence in the war, but the over
throw of its republican government
.would be a rQal Injury.
" la pan newspapers seem to have
Secti needlessly alarmed over Uncle
Sur.'s note to China, doubtless also
rtuly excited by the kaiser's agents.
The world has never had such a
general trouble maker and mixer as
W'ilhelm. Until the saner peoples
are ab!e to round him up and place
hiru where he can do uo mere harm
it might be well for civilised na
tions to recognize that any home
tlisafftcticn that may occur just
now is probably only- a 'phony* var
iety, stimulated by the kaiser's a
Kea*..
"Every nation, apart rrom ine
central oowers, can very well afford
to ajrree to a moratorium 011 home
troubles until the arch-troublemaker
is tucked away in merited seclusion.
Th^u. Derhaps, it will be noted that
the world has few important trou

ASTRONOMICAL EVENTS.
Two groups of third magnitude stars
belonging to constellations Centaur
and Lupus appear low In the south In
the evening.
At the end of the war we are prom

why hurry the end for the hope of

ALL ROUND FIGHTING
MEN THE ARMY NEED
By CAPTAIN QEORQE. L. KILMER.
A good voice puts the finishing
touches on a soldier who Is Qualified In
the usual standards of the service.
From corporal up the leaden must
give commands, and any private may
have to act as a noncom In emergen
cies. Also privates must pass words
of command and warning down the
line.
Voice development and training can
be done easily at home, and the exer
cise will help In breathing, chest ex
pansion and stature building, all good
preparedness work for the soldier.
The United States army allows no
standing still. If a man cannot ma

nenver and handle arms he shall "hew
wood and draw water." But any In
telligent youth can learn all the high
ar arts If he tries hard. The first step
U to make an all round man of hlo
self, an athlete In embryo If nothing
beyond. A half dozen exercises which
can be done before reaching the drill
ground will mako a hopeful subject
out of a greenhorn.
As soon as a boy decides to be a
soldier he takes to a soldier pose as
ho has seen It In real life or In print
stands erect In this position, with
arms and hands extended upward, ho
can begin practice by bending forward
on the hips till hands reach the knees,
which are unbent, legs stiff. The next
motion Is to return to the upright pose
and bend forward again, with hands
at the hips and legs rigid. From the
erect position next bend body back
ward, with arms on hips and knees
rigid. Two more movements, from
erect position with hands on the hips,
ar« bending sldewlse, right and left,
then rotation of the body fra« hips
upward on the waist pivots. Good
training this for sword and bayonet
proficiency.
FALLS ONLY TO RISE.
An Experiment With a Sort of Perpet
ual Motion Effect.
A novel experiment In the demon
stration of perpetual motion Is to be
performed simply. A glass beaker
about six Inches high and four inches
in diameter Is filled with water to the
height of about four and a half inches,
and two and one-half to three ounces
of commercial aniline are added, which
will sink to the bottom of the vessel.
The temperature of the beaker aad
its contents Is now raised to 170 or 175
degrees F. by means of a burner, when
It will be (^served that the aniline will
rise to the surface of the water, from
which it will hang In a mass of curved
outline. Almost immediately the sus
pended aniline commences to alter In
shape, and gradually a large drop an
'nch or more In diameter detaches It
self from the mass and falb through
the water.
And now, tne aetacneu uruy ua»uis
fallen to the bottom of the beaker,
comes the surprising part of tbe ex
periment. The fallen drop la Seen grad
ually to rise to the surface, where It
Joins the mass from which It previous
ly broke away. At once another drop
commences to form and, having be
come detached, falls and rises In the
same manner as the previous drop.
Bo long as the temperature of the
water is maintained at 170 degrees or
over this procedure continues.
The Chines® "Five Kings."
"The Five Kings" la the name of the
sacred book in which is Incorporated
the religion of the Chinese as well as a
great number of other peoples of the
orient The doctrine Is a complex sys
tem of moral, social, political and reli
gious teaching buflt up by Confucius
on the ancient Chinese traditions, and.
although its author lived more than
fl-e centuries before the birth of Christ,
It Is still perpetuated as the state reli
gion of the Chinese down to the pres
ent day. Confucianism is a religion
without positive revelation, with a
minimum of dogmatic teaching, whose
popular worship is centered In offer
ings to the dead. In which the notion
of duty is extended beyond the sphere
of morals proper so as to embrace al
most every detail of daily life.
Halo and Corona.
By halo is meant the large circle or
parts of circles about the sun or moon.
A halo occurring after fine weather in
dicates a storm.
By corona are meant tbe small colored
circles frequently 9«en around the sun
or moon. A corona growing an slier
Indicates rain; growing larger, fair
j weather.

Wife of the Minister to Brussels
In Relief Work.
WAS ON THE BATTLE FRONT.
After Months of Heartrending Experi
ences Near the Carnage Mrs. Whit
lock and Her Husband Now Rest In
France.
Together with her husband, the
American minister accredited to Bel
gium. Mrs. Brand Wliitlock recently
visited the section of the battle front
held by the Belgian soldiers. The
minister and his wife, with King Al
bert of the Belgians, were in the dan
ger zone most of the time during their
visit.
Through all the strife and bitterness
of desolation Mrs. Whitloek has been
with her husband, aiding and counsel
ing. It is not a life of ease and lux
ury, If the stories that are coming

from there are true. Correspondents
say that Mr. and Mrs. Whltlock have
been forced to live 011 Muck bread and
the other coarse and meager fure of
tb« natives of the country.
As mayor of Toledo Mr. Whitlock es
tablished an enviable reputation, and
his writings have intrenched him in
literary favor. Mrs. Whitlock also is
well known in literary circles, having
contributed to leading magazines.
In every Belgian town you will find
some kind of witness to the people's
regard of this pair. The shops sell
varieties of cheap little colored post
cards, poorly drawn, some of them,
but all bearing Mr. Wbitlock's likeness
and a few words of devotion and grat
itude. Medals bearing hts profile have
been struck. Engravings of him are
on sale in many cities. Almost every
thing he says or does goes by wprd of
mouth from one to another all over
Belgium. When Mr. and Mrs. Whit
lock walked down a Brussels street all
the men doffed their hats, and all the
women, and even the children, bowed
to them.
Mrs. Whitlock hns done relief work
for these stricken folks through months
of devotion.
A STITCH IN TIME
Alaska People Should not Xegleot
Their Kidneys
No kidney trouble is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest back
ache or urinary irregularity. Nature
may bo wanning you of approach
ing dropsy, gravel or Bright'g dis
ease Kidney disease seldom ia fa
tal it treated in time, but neglect
may r»re the 'way. Don't neglect a
lame or aching back another day.
Don't ignore dizzy spells, irregular
or discolored urine, headaches,
weariness or depression. If you fe
yo>i reed kidney help begin using
tt» Tellable, time-tried remedy,
Doan i Kidney Pills. For 50 years,
Dom's have been found effective
Fhdorsed by grateful people.
Mrs. iS. O. Turner, 60S% Tenth
S'., Sacramento, California., says:
"I underwent three operations and
this severe strain, together with
colds, affected my kidneys. I had
oaia through my back and oould
hardly stoop over for if I tried to,
pains caught me. My back and limbs
were so Stiff I couldn'e move My
kidnfys acted too often. Doan's
Kidney Pills have promptly reliev
ed me of every attack of kidney suf
