Why Thai Lame Back.
The morning lameness those
sharp pains when bending or
lifting, make work a burden and
rest impossible. Don't be hand
icapped by a bad back look to
your kidneys. You will make no
mistake by following this McCon
nellsburg resident's example.
P. F. Black, McConnellsonrg,
says: "while at work, I slipped
and wrenched my back badly.
After that I had great pain across
my loins and my back often got
lame and sore. I used Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at Trout's
Drug Store and they soon gave
me relief."

Hake Democracy Safe for Womaa.
"Nine million of women, whom
men could not or would not sup
port, were employed before the
war in commerce 'and industry
in this country. Before our trans
ports have ceased plowing their
way to France, nine millions
more may stand in men's shoes,
doing men's work. And millions
more, cradling the sons of men
and making the world safer for
democracy, will ask: Is. it right
is it just, that we who have fought
the battles with you to perpetu
ate the great principles of the
Declaration shall alone of all
the world be denied the privileges
those principles assure?
"Women need not be discour
aged. The clouds have broken
for them. Not long now must
they endure the stench of dirty
streets, death-bearing to their
children, the saloon thrusting its
nose into their backyards, the
thousand and one evils which
results from masculine law-making,
which knows no woman's
pity in its sentences, no woman's
soul in its phrases and no wo
man's thirst for justice in its
conception. Woman will be loos
ed here, as she will be in Eng
land from the tyrant of subjec
tion, and the march toward . our
ideals will be visibly Quickened
by the warm spirit of her partic
ipation. "The world can be made safe
for democracy only when democ
racy is made safe for woman."
Public Ledgar, Philadelphia.
The Newspaper.
Why is a newspaper like a
pretty woman? To be perfect it
must be the embodiment of many
types. It is always chased,
though inclined to be giddy.
It enjoys a good press; the more
rapid the better. It has a weak
ness for gossip. Talks a good
deal. Can stand some praise,
and it's awfully proud of a new
dress.

YOU CAN'T IMAGINE FLYING
SAYS MINEOLA OFFICER;
. MAKES O I'll ER SHORTS
SEEM FLAT
Uy Seruf ant Geor. e DtMlxe, -Mlneolu
Avlutlon School
How do you feel when you
make your first flight?
Its hard to describe, but you
don't feel anything like you ex
pect to.
Before I enlisted I tried to
imagine fiyiug. I thought of
my sensations on all the high
places I had been. But it isn't
like that at alL There is no
more of that kind of feeliog than
when yon are'ridmg in an elevited
train. The idea of height never
bothers you.
At first you never know when
the airplane leaves the ground,
the startJS so smooth. Sudden
ly you find your serf in the air
with the earth dropping away.
Where the air is smooth you
have the sensations of rushing
along a boulevard in a motor car
at a mile a minute, combined
with the bouyancy of drifting
downstair in a canoe. When
the air is choppy it is more like
riding a flivver over a rough
road.
Gliding or climbing rapidly is
much line riding on a gigantic
shoot-the chutes.
It is remarkable how quickly
you feel complete detachment
from the earth, absolutely inde
pendent of it and safer the farth
er away from it you are.
You never seem to be flying
away from the earth so much as
it seems to be dropping away
from you.
The only time you become ac
utely conscious of the earth is
when you are coming down for s
landing. It seems to be rushing
up with incredible speed. Then
all of a sudden, if everything has
been properly managed, you find
yourself back with no more
hock than when you put on the
brakes of an automobile.
I remember the first time the
instructor started to make a spir
al with me in the machine. 1
was so fascinated 1 suppose I
was not noticing just what was
happening. I looked up, saw
one of the win?sliftel bi$h above
my seat and caugbt a glimpse of
tbe earth below apparently tilted
to one side.
1 thought at first we had loop
ed the loop. My stomach got
wabbly. Then things seemed to
come into perspective, my stom
ach got on an even keel, and I
saw just what bad been happen
ing. When you are driving the
sense of identity witb a powerful
machine brings an exhilaration
nothing can equal motor- boating
t bogganine, and auto raciog all
seem stale, flat and unprofitable.

WILSON SENDS MESSAGE
TO U. S. DRAFTED MEN.
Washington, D. C, Sept. 3.
President Wilson has sent the
following message of cheer to the
soldiers of the National Army:
"To the soldiers of the Nation
al Army:
i "You are undertaking a great
duty. The heart of the whore
country is with you. Everything
that you do will be watched with
the deepest solicitude, not only
by those who are near and dear
to you, but by the whole Nation
besides. For this great war draws
us all together, makes us all com
rads and brothers, as all true
Americans felt themselves to be
when we first made good our na
tional independence.
"The eyes of all the world
will be upon you, because you are
in some special sense the soldiers
of freedom. Let it be your pride
therefore, to show all men everj -where
not only what good soldiers
you are, but also what good men
you are,' keeping yourselves fit
and Btraight in everything and
pure and clean through and
through. Let us set for ourselves
a standard so high that it will be
a glory to live up to it and add a
new laurel to the crown of Ameri
ca. "My affectionate confidence
goes with you in every Jbattle and
every test. God keep and guide
you!

Gentlemen Drivers. '
Now and then an auto, filled
with nice looking people, passes
through McConnellsburg with
the muffler of the machine closed
and the rate of speed reduced to
safety. At such times we can
hardly restrain our desire to stop
the tourists and shake hands
with them in gratitude for their
exhibition and sense of respect
for their fellow beings. It is
refreshing to know that their
class is not extinct.
On the contrary, a dozen or
more citizens of McConnellsburg
are such poor, drivers that they
cannot make (heir machines run'
down hill without the muffler
wide open, and everybody with-
! in the square must stop talking
I until they get out of hearing.
' A costly ordinance was passed
recently forbidding this worse
than useless habit, but evidently
the trait exhibited by the first
mentioned drivers is unknown to
, our town drivers else why the
intolerable nuisance?
