CHEERFUL WORDS.
For Many a HcCooaellsbnrg flonsehold.
To bave the pains and aches of
a bad back removed to be en
tirely free from annoying, dan
gerous urinary disorders, is
enough to make any kidney suf
ferer grateful. The following
advice of one who has suffered
will prove helprul to hundreds of
McConnelisburg readers.
Mrs. Lewis Chrift, 339 E
Queen St, Chambersburg, Pa,
says: "1 had rheumatic trouble
and my kidneys acted irregular
y. At times 1 was dizzy and my
head ached fearfully. Sharp
pains took me in the small of my
back and across my hips. When
i heard of Doan's Kidney Pills I
got some and they surely gave
me excellent relief. Doan's put
me in much better condition in
every way.
Price 60c at all dealers. Don't
imply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the
same that Mrs. Christ had.

The Easiness Woman.
Until recently, the business
woman was the exception, Now
she Is everywhere. What with
suffrage prevailing in many
states and likely to become uni
versal; she is also taking a . posi
tion in public life never before
accorded her sex, so far as his
tory records. Tbe world war
has been responsible for toe wo
man in business, and doubtless
has had its effect in bringing
about suffrage. There -can. be
no doubt that to a large extent,
woman is in business to stay. It
la np to her to make good, and
st$ cn 4o this if she so wills.
Tosocced, however, she must of
necessity reconstruct her views
of life. Nrt only , this but her
education must be radically
changed. Heretofore the boy
has been educated for a career.
' He has been trained for the work
' that he has chosen. Ilia whole
life has been built upon and
around his career. Not so with
the girl, or if so the careers have
been widely different. In every
; age of the world up to the pres
ent, the ultimate obj9Ct of wo
man's existence has been mar
riage. True there bave always
been exceptions, but they merely
sufficed to emphasize the rule,
Henceforth, however, it woman
is to take her place beside man in
the business world, this must be
wholly changed. . She must be
educated and trained for busi
ness first and matrimony as an
alternative. There will of course,
be many positions where she can
continue to gain a livelihood while
awaiting the important event of
matrimony, but if matrimony
continues to be her ultimate goal,
business will always be a side is
sue, a secondary consideration,
and her success therein will be
negligible. And perhaps, con
trary to the age long contention
of lordly man, this business
training will not unfit her for
that more important vocation of
matrimony. We confess our in
ability to see wherein a sound
, business training can be consid
ered objectionable in a wife and
mother. And as intellect if fre
quently the offspring of Intel
lect, who can tell but' the new
departure may be for the better
development of the race after
all?

and blue stripes on the rudders.
These markings were adopted by
the joint Army and Navy Tech
nical Aircraft Board and approv
ed by the Secretary of War and
the Secretary of the Navy.
Early Corn for Bogs.
The available supply of grain
early next fall will be one of the
most important limiting factors
in pork production, according to
experts at the Pennsylvania
State College. Farmers of tbe
East can overcome possible
grain shortage for feeding hogs
for market by planting a field of
corn that will mature early. In
mrty sections a variety of flint
corn may be used and in the
better corn . growing . sections a
dent variety that will mature in
ninety to 1C0 days. This type
of corn, while it will not give the
yield that is secured from the
main corn crop, tides tbe farm
er over a time when corn is very
scarce. The lower yield of corn
from such a variety is readily
overcome by the saving of grain
effected in not buying corn or
other feeds.

A CONVERSATION
Between Mr. Doubtful and Mr. Right
Mr. Doubtful: "I don't see how I
can buy any more Liberty Bonds. I
bought all I could last fall. I'm not a
rich man and I don't think it's fair or just
to expect me to do anything more than I
have done."
Mr. Right: "Let's see your next
door neighbor's boy enlisted, didn't he?"
' Mr. Doubtful: "Yes, he's over in
France now. Mighty fine, stalwart boy,
that!"
Mr. Right: "Exactly, and some day
that splendid boy, the pride of his par
ents' hearts, may go 'over the top' in a gal
lant charge, stop a German bullet, and fall
in the mud and debris of No Man's Land.
Isn't that asking too much of him, and of
his family? Is that 'fair?' Is that 'just?'"
Mr. Doubtful: "Why, it's awful, of
course, but it can't be helped. This is war,
and men have to be killed in it."
Mr. Right; "You've said it this is
war! To win the war it might be neces
sary for the government to take your
factory away from you, and ruin your
business. It might be necessary to take
your house and turn you out in the street.
What of that? Is that as great a sacrifice
as your neighbor makes, or stands ready
to make, when he gives his boy to his
country? Yet you don't think it's your
duty to pinch and save, and borrow if
need be, in order to buy Liberty Bonds,
and thus help shorten the war, make vic
tory certain, and save the lives of thou
sands of American boys who will other
wise be uselessly sacrificed.
Mr. Doubtful: "I guess that's true,
Mr. Right, I have been thoughtless. I'll
stop complaining and criticising, and put
up my last dollar if need be, to help
win this war."
