THE WAY OIT
"It's easy to get into this war,

ws reader.
Aye, the rub. Trouble al

over the "way out" problem. Hav

a peace be made hy them with
Germany do we still remain at

rope's cause her own? If she
should not, and decline to enter
into the conflict with the same
vigor which England and Prance
have shown, would that leave us

Give the Civil war period a close I
study and again ask the question,
what may happen at home?
And still the way out never need
be considered if the cause be per
fectly just and the affront one
that inspires the heart with a great
desire to re-establish righteous
ness. A just cause may lose in
the battle and still not Uj defeated,
if the cause is in the least doubt
ful—if its nature is such that any
considerably element of Americans
cau question its fundamental mor
ality, then indeed must we, before
flinging down the gauntlet, most
carefully inquire into the way
out.
We now are so close to. the hor
rible reality that the voice of
the jingo should be silenced. It
is time for true Americans, in
silence and prayer, to ponder the
way out.—Tacoma News.

A Stitch In Time
Vlaska Peonle Should Neglect
Their Kidneys
No kidney ailment is unimport
ant. Don't overlook the slight
est backache or urinary irregularity
Nature may be ■warning you of
approaching dropsy, gravel or
Bright's disease. Kidney disease is
seldom fatal if treated in time, but
Feglect may pave the way. Don't
neglec* a lame or aching back an
other day. Don't ignore dizzy
speJls, irregular or discolored ur
ine, headaches, weariness or de
pression. if you feel you need kid
ney help begin using the reliable,
time-tried remedy, Doan's Kid
ney Pills. For 50 years, Doan's
have been found effective. En
dorsed by grateful people.
Mrs. S. O. Turner, 608 % Tenth
St.. Sacramento, Cal., says: "I un
derwent three operations and this
severe strain, together with colds,
affected my kidneys. 1 had pain
through my back and could hardly
stoop over for if I tried *o, pains
caught me. My back and limbs
vers so stiff I couldn't move. My
kidneys acted too often. Doan's
Kidney Pills have promptly reliev
ed me of every attack of kidney
suffering."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy —
get Doan's Kidney Pills —the same
that Mrs. Turner had. Foster-Mil
