At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived Indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, overcome headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good .health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best Insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impoverished blood. It Is to be noticed In the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water a. half hour before
meals, and for a vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has bad such a
fine reputation for fifty years. It contains no alcohol or narcotics. It is
made from Golden Seal root. Bloodroot, Oregon grape root, Queen's root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with glycerine and made into tablets and liquid.
Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.

build up the system try this tonic

f. Jesus Officially Presented to the
Jewish Nation ae King (rv. 1-11). This
should not be designated the "triumphal entry," for It was only In outward appearances. The shouts were
empty and meaningless. It was the
promised King publicly offering himself to the nation.
1. The preparation (vv. 1-C).
(1) Two disciples sent for the ass
(vv. 1-3).
He told them Just where to go to
find it, and how to answer the owner's Inquiry. This shows how perfectly the Lord knows our ways. His
matchless gaze beholds all that we
think or do, by day or night. It also
shows that God uses unlikely and Insignificant things In the accomplishment of his purposes. The providing
of this animal was the working out of
the Divine plan according to Christ's
foreknowledge.
(2) Obedience of the disciples (vv.
4-6).
Without asking why, they go at his
bidding. The command may have
seemed strange and unreasonable, but
they rendered explicit obedience. The
true disciple will render full and glad
obedience, no matter how strange or
unreasonable the command may seem.
2. The entry Into the city of Jerusalem (vv. 7-10).

was In fulfillment of a prophecy uttered some five hundred years before
(Zech. 9:9).
(3) The Lord's action (v. 10).
Upon entering the Temple, he looked
around upon all things; but as It was
eventide he withdrew to Bethany with
the twelve.
II. Jesus Exercising His Royal Authority (w. 12-19). 1. The barren fig
tree cursed (vr. 12-14). The fig tree
is typical of the Jewish nation. The
fruit normally appears on the fig tree
ahead of the leaves. Hie presence of
leaves is the assurance of fruit This
was an acted pcrabJe of the Lord's
Judgment on Israel for pretension of
being the chosen people without the
fruits thereof. It Indicated the spiritual state of the Jews.
2. The Temple cleansed (w. 15-19).
For the various sacrifices In the
Temple, many oxen, sheep and doves
were needed. Many persons came
from the distant parts of the land;
therefore it was impracticable for
them to bring their sacrifices with
them, so they brought money and
bought the animals needed. This privilege the law had granted to them
(Deub 14:24-26), for the exchange was
necessary. When evil men used it as
an opportunity for gain, It became an
offense before God. It defiled his
house. He made himself a scourge of
cords, and drove out the money changers, overthrowing their tables and
ponring onr their money. By this act
he declared himself to be the Lord of
the Temple and one with God- That
which God Intended to be a house of
prayer for nil nations was being made
a "den of thieves,"
HI. Jews' Authority Challenged (rt.
27-38). They challenged him to show
by what anthority he accepted the honors of the Messiah, and who gave him
the authority to cast out the. moneychangers. Thta placed Jesus In a dilemma. H* responded by t question
which placed them in a cottater-dUea*
Ottawa—So confident is the Entente
of its ability to withstand* any drive
the Germans can launch It has been
decided not to use the American army
until it becomes a complete and powerful force, according to a cable summary of operations on the western
front received here from the war committee of the British cabinet.
The dispatch points out that the German drive with greatly superior numbers has been halted by the allies
without the necessity of calling on
great numbers of reserve troops as
the German command has been compelled to do.
It states that the Teuton reserves
are nearly exhausted while the allied
forces held In reserve are ready to
meet any new blow of the enemy,
wherever it may fall.
"The position now Is," said the summary, "the Germans, determined to
concentrate every available unit on
one enormous offensive, are draining
their country dry to force a decision
before it is too late, while the Entente
is so confident that, having been given
the choice of a small Immediate American army for defense or waiting till
they are reinforced by a complete,
powerful, self-supporting American
army, has chosen the latter."
American Units to Be Distinct.
Washington—News of the British
statement that the Entente la so confident of its ability to hold the Germans that the American army is not
to be used until it becomes a complete
and self-supporting force was received
by army officers here with frank delight.
They are pleased, not only because
of the supreme confidence indicated
by such a decision, but on account of
the keen desire of American military
men to take the field against the enemy as a distinctly American force.
Under the old plan of filling up the
British and French gaps with Ameri
can reserves, the Americans were being equipped and supplied by armies
to which they were attached. If that
plan is changed, the Americans now
going overseas as fast as ships can be
provided to carry them will march to
the front as soon as their training behind the lines is completed, as an American army, a new and powerful force
to play a part of driving the Germans
back across their own borders.
DRAFT HASTAKEN 1,300,000 MEN
Expected Army Will Reach Strength
of 3 Million Within Year.
Washington—More than 1,3000,000
men have been called in the draft so
far and either are in France, in camp,
or under call to go into service before
June 1.
The total of 1,300,000 includes all
men summoned in the May contingent
There is every Indication that even a
larger increment will be summoned in
June than was summoned in May and
a progressive monthly mobilization
continue through the summer and fall
months as the cantonments are expanded.
It is expected that at such a rate
the army will reach a full strength
of well over 3,000,000 within the next
12 or 13 months. It is possible, some
officers say, that the number will be
closer to 6,000,000 than 3,000,000.

Get New Kidneys!
The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of toe human body, and when
they fail in their work of filtering out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
lystem, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiffness in the lower part -of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of apoetite; indigestion: irritation, or even stone in the bladder. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady. Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first indication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking

N these days of rising prices, we need every ounce of strength
and the ability to do a full day's work every day. The man
or woman with weak kidneys is half crippled. Sore, aching
kidneys; lame, stiff back, headache, dizzy spells and a dull,
tired feeling and urinary disorders are daily sources of distress.
You can't afford to neglect kidney weakness and make it easy
for gravel, dropsy or Bright's disease to take you. Get a box
of Doan's Kidney Pills today. They have helped thousands.
They should help you.

AN ATTACK OF GRIP
USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
IN WEAKENED CONDITION
Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in a rundown condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer moBt, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urinary troubles which should not be neglected, at these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report a large sale on Dr. Kilmer's
8wamp-Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp-Root,
being an herbal compound, has a gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is almost immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it. Dr. Kilmer k Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y., offer to send a sample site bottle of Swamp-Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who requests it. A trial will convince anyone
who may be in need of it. Regular med>

Characterizes Accusation As Frams»up
to Discredit His Disclosures On
Failure of Plane Program.
Washington—A new and sensational
twist to the army aircraft scandal was
given on May 10, when the war department turned on its principal accuser,
Gutzon Borglum.
Through Senator Thomas, Colorado,
spokesman for the administration on
the military affairs committee, the
government caused
to be read
into
the Congregational
Record
100,000 words of correspondence
and affidavits tending to show
that at the very time Borglum was collecting information upon which he
charged officers of the government
with graft, he was using his position
as the president's Investigator to organize an aeroplane company.
With him in the proposed formation
of the company, the correspondence
and affidavits tended to show, was Hugo C. Gibson, described as an attache
of the British ministry of war.
Officials of the Dodge Motor company, Mishawkee, Indiana, furnished
the military Intelligence section of the
army with Information and affidavits
tending to substantiate the charges.
Mr. Borglum characterized the accusation as a "scurrilous frame-up,"
claiming the charges were sprung at
this time in an effort to discredit his
disclosures on the failure of the aircraft program.
OLD HUNGARIAN CABINET OUT
New Premier Plans to Amend Laws to
Give All Citizens Right to Vote.
Budapest, via London—A new Hungarian cabinet has been formed with
Dr. Alexander Wekerle as premier and
minister of the interior.
Premier Wekerle has stated that the
government Intends to introduce various small amendments to suffrage proposals, based on compromise, that will
make acceptance of the proposals possible.
The amendments provide that every
citizen who would not otherwise have
the right to vote should obtain the
right if he gives proof of sufficient
learning to have passed through four
classes of the national school and also
is master of the Hungarian language,
or if he has passed through six classes
of the national school The premier
added that workmen will have the
right to vote.
PHONE RATE RAISE ANNULLED
Judge Wiest Orders Rehearing
Detroit Controversy.
of
Detroit—Postponement of increased
telephone rates for Detroit, and rehearing of the case by the courts, will
be the result of the decision of Judge
Howard Wiest of the circuit court at
Lansing. Judge Wiest set aside the
order of the railroad commission for
higher and metered rates for Detroit,
ordering the commission to revise Its
opinion on new principles.
The higher telephone rate is annulled, and present rates will prevail
until the commission or the courts
finally pass on whatever new.rates the
commission grants. Its metered rate
order, issued February 16, is completely set aside.
The court's conclusion that the 4 1-2
per cent dividend paid to the American Telephone & Telegraph company
by the Michigan State company was
not properly chargeable against the
subscribers is considered even a harder blow for the telephone company
than the setting aside of the higher
rate.
EMBARGO ON NON-ESSENTIALS
Only
Necessities Can Be Exported
Under Latest Trade Edict.
Washington—Control of manufacture of articles for export to European
Allies has been instituted by the war
industries board and the food administration.
New regulations, effective May 15,
require permission of the Allied representatives and of the controlling agency of this government before manufacture of such commodities can begin
or materials for manufacture purchased.
The regulations constitute perhaps
the most radical step yet taken, as
the trade board explafne, "for the purpose of preventing the useless consumption of materials and labor in
making articles for export, which for
the present may not be exported, and
for the purpose of saving tonnage by
prohibiting the exportation of articles
which have not been recommended by
the government of the country of destination as being necessary for their
essential requirements."
CUSTER GRAFTER FOUND GUILTY
Ralph Windhorst, Convicted By Federal Jury, Sent to Leavenworth.
Detroit—Expressing his regret that
the punishment provided by law did
not prescribe the death penalty. Judge
Arthur J. Tuttle, in United States district court, sentenced Ralph H. Windhorst to serve two years in Leavenworth penitentiary and pay a fine of
$10,000.
Windhorst was found guilty by a
federal jury after an hour's deliberation of grafting in connection with
construction of a base hospital at

London—Ever since the costly defeat of Gen. von Arnim's army in its
desperate assault on the front southwest of Yprea, over two weeks ago,
the beginniing of a new effort by the
enemy either here or on some other
front has been looked for from day to
day. Possibly the Germans have been
waiting for some, allied counter blow,
which they felt able to withstand, and
therefore, hoped would be dealt.
If this was the case, they must have
been disappointed by the waiting attitude of General Foch, which it is felt,
now will compel the enemy to reveal
his further purpose with little delay, as
time is one of the things he cannot afford to squander, with the American
forces now rapidly swelling to formidable numbers.
If, as is considered certain, the Germans have employed such time as
they have felt impelled to spend in
building up the machinery for a new
offensive on probably a greater scale
than before, it is equally sure that the
allied armies under the unified command have not neglected to employ
the interval In making every preparation possible to meet the German blow.
Every day gives evidence of the
alertness of the allied forces. Numerous minor operations have been undertaken to improve their positions on
the various fronts and their artillery
fire has been directed to equally good
purpose in breaking, up the organizing
efforts of the enemy.
British Bottle Up Ostend.
London—British naval forces carried out another brilliant and successful coup on May 9. They dashed down
on the Belgian coast and barred the
sea way to the important German submarine base at Ostend by sinking the
cruiser Vindictive across the entrance
to the harbor.
The operation was similar to that at
Zeebrugge on April 23, when that submarine nest was made ineffective by
the sinking of block ships.
The Vindictive, which had been th©
leader in the Zeebrugge raid, and was
badly shot up there, was filled with
concrete and sunk between the piers
at the outlet of the Ostend harbor.
The' enterprise was successful from
every point of view. The only loss
sustained by the British was a motor
boat, while the casualties were light
The blocking of the Ostend and
Zeebrugge harbors will go down in the
history of the war as two of the most
daring exploits of the navies. At both
submarine bases the Germans have
batteries of long range naval guns and
keep a keen lookout for attacking parties.
The Importance of the blocking operations lies in the fact that, if they hare
been as successful as is believed, and
the Germans have been deprived ot
both of their Belgian bases, they win
now be forced to revert, for some time
at least, to their own home ports aa
starting and returning points for their
under-sea raiders.
Foe Attacks Beaten Back.
London—The Allied defense on the
Flanders front to the southwest of
Ypres has again been tested by the
Germans and has been found adequate.
Two divisions of Teuton troops were
employed on a relatively abort front
and were sent into the fight under
cover of a terrific artillery fire.
The front chosen for the attack extended from the village of La Clytee to
Voormeseele but the center of the assault seems to have been at Verstratet,
a hamlet northwest of Kemmel hm.
The flanks of the German attacking
line were stopped short by fire from
