explained to the court that her

ii the amount wa§ inadequate she
had I he right to hlep herself from
the family cash supply.
Unless Judge Cornell's dictum is
reversed by a higher court, it will

cisions in other portions of the
toja'ry. In families that have soils

GERMAN l'LANS FAEL
The British official report of the
destruction of shipping during the
first six weeks of the unrestricted
submarine campaign, shows the fu
tility of the German hope of starv
ing England to submission. The
average daily movement of ves
si-'s ia and out of the United King
dom ports has been 710. The loss
es o* British merchant ship since
February 1 represent a percentage
of 2.3. At this rate of destruc
tion it would require a year to
reduce British merchant ship ton
nage by one-half. Construction in
British yards during that period
would almost equal the loss.
Six weeks of promised "terror
ism" have resulted in the destruc
tion of seventy-eight ships of over
1,600 tons, out cf a total in Brit
ish ownership of 3,731. In addi
tion to these figures of merchant;
shipping losses, thq admiralty Wflce j
announces that the transport of
troops and munitions of war across
the channel has not been interfered
.with, by submarine operations.
In the matter of food supplies,
England is inereaseing its surplus
in. spite of the "ruthless" warfare,
itore meat is being delivered to
British ports than the average of
deliveries for the past seven years,
in the item of butter alone the'
receipts are represented &e below
the average. At French ports thei
delivery of food supplies lias been
ample and fully up to the average
volume of the deliveries of the
past year.
The German hop® of victory is
not encouraged by tfca six weeks'
record, if this is the beat the Teu
tons can do, then thq conclusion,
is obvious that they Will fail to
starve England. The German army
is outnumbered in the field three
to one, the German navy is bottled
ud and useless as an aggTessive
force, and the submarines are inef
fective. If there is a way for it to
prevail in the checker game of wa-r,
Germany has not yet disclosed it. —
Seattle P. I.

Odd Titles of Newspapers.
In Columbus. says the Dispatch, there
Is a man whose chief joy is In a collec
tion of newspaper titles.
There are Headlights, Flashlights,
Bees, Eagles, Owls, Mirrors and News
Letters, but when it comes to Derricks.
Meddlers, Telescopes, Flags aud Sun
beams the class is limited. In Hot
Springs there is published the Arkan
sas Thomas Cat. and other titles just
as unusual are the Sleds:; Hammer,
the Irrepressible, the Silent Worker
and Gall..
Frequently it is possible to tell from
the title of a newspaper the state in
which it Is published. For instance,
the Chicltaiii is in Oklahoma, the Rus
tler and tha I.ariat are in Texas, Big
Hole Breezes in Montana and the
Roundup in Wyoming.
Attractive Automobiles.
"So you ere in the market for an
automobile'/"
"Yes," answered the man who likes
to attract attention.
"Any particular make?"
"No; I merely want one that will
make people turn rounl and stare at
me when I pass."
"Oh, you don't need a special type
for that. Get the ordinary car and
exceed the speed limit."—Birmingham
Age-Herald.
Careful Hubby.
"Does your husband subscribe to the
theory that kissing transmits germs?"
"No; he thinks that germs are most
ly transmitted by money and is very
careful not to hand me any."—Kansas
City Journal.

ARE YOUR
KIDNEYS SICK?
Many Alaska People Have Kept
Well By Keeping Xheir Kid
neys Well.
The first symptoms of kidney
trouble may be only a slight, pain
iu. the back, a feeling of stiffness or
soreness in the loins, or some an
noying irregularity of the urinary
passages. Urine is often discolor
ed and perhaps , sediment gathers
uooa standing. Next may come a
dull, throbbing, backache, sharp,
knife-like pains, headaches, J diz
ziness and in many case®, lameness
when arising in the marnng. No
one can affrod to delay until these
troubles become serious. Begin
using Doan's Kidney Pills, the
tried and tested kidney remedy that
has won the Draigg of thousands.
Alaskan readers should find con
vincing proof of merit in the fol
lowing statement.
G. H. Behnke, 323 Lincoln St.,
Portland, Ore., says: "Kidney trou
ble "lung to me for six months. I
had a dull, steady ache and jat
time, sharp pains in my kidneys. I
had soreness over my kidneys and
I found it hard to turn in bed.
Too frequent action of my kidneys
caused me to rise up often at night.
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
got Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that cured Mr. Behnke. Foster-?.Iil
