CHEERFUL WORDS.

For Many a Ransselaar Household. To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed—to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous uninary disorders, is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. The following advice of one who has suffered wul prove helpful to hundreds of Rensselaer readers. Mrs. R. E. Scott, Van Rensselaer St., Rensselaer, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills whenever my kidne yshave become disordered and I give them credit for the excellent health I now enjoy. By putting my kidneys in good condition, Doan’s have saved me from the suffering 1 used to 'have from the steady ache across my kidneys, pains in my back and other symptoms of kidney trouble. Doan’s are fine and I advise anyone troubled as I was to use them.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—-get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Sccott had.

QUICK, WATSON! THE NEEDLE; ANOTHER HUN DREAM.

iDr. Richard von Kuehlmann, former German foreign minister, in a letter quoted by the Echo de Varies, says that under favorable conditions the Germans will be in 'ParisL before 1925. The German nation will be re-ha-bilitated much more rapidly than the world thinks, Dr. Kuehlmann said. He adds that the former ruling classes of Germany are still -hopeful of retaining power. The letter says that the events are moving as the writer anticipated earlier in the year when he wrote that Marshal Foch had sheathed his sword and it would not be necessary for Germany to longer fear France. Wonder if this eminent German quack and highbinder remembers that Kaiser Bill and his outfit were going to be in Paris last April first?

HUN UNIFORMS TURNED TO GOOD ACCOUNT.

Now that the timekeeper’s howitzer has called a halt to hostilities, thousands of ureusued German uniforms that were found in the storehouses at Coblenz have been delivered to American authorities for conversion into civilian clothing for the poorer residents of the city. Both boys and men now appear in the streets in new clothes which have been disguised by dyes. The women, too, have availed themselves of the opportunity to get warm coats. They have scorned, however, the camouflage of the dye man and it is a common sight to see one wearing a long war coat that obviously was once a gray' military coat of a German officer.

LITTLE FRENCH CAPTIVE HERE

SUBJECT OF NEWSPAPER GLARE ARRIVES IN RENSSELAER—AND HOME. From Paris, to New York, to Chicago, to Rensselaer—and home! Such has bee nthe traveling experience of pretty little Mrs. Samuel O. Duvall, formerly Miss Lanra Benoist, of Paris and Noyon, France, during the past few weeks, who arrived in this city with her mother-in-law, Mrs. John Duvall, Monday evening. These weeks have been filled with strange and wonderous sights for the little French maiden who has been forced to face a battery of newspaper cameras half way across the continent and to grant interviews to nagging newspaper correspondents hourly. Paris is her native city, New York was wonderful to her, Chicago offered many things, new and novel, but Rensselaer proved the greatest attraction of all; it’s to be her new home, you know and it was with a sigh of relief that she stepped from the train here Monday evening. “Oh, it is perfectly wonderful!” she exclaimed with only (the slightest trace of French accent showing in her speech, her jet black eyes dancing with delight as she saw the little city that is to be her future home. “All America is wonderful, and I am so glad-to be away from the terrible roar of the guns and where it is quiet and where one is not reminded of war constantly—but these American newspaper men are almost as bad,” she added coyly, “but I suppose they “will be not so much in the way when they forget about me. “This is an awfully nice little place,” she continued, “and I know that I shall like it very much, and when Mr. Duvall comes I know that I will meet so many people and have such good times, and I want to, for I know that sometimes I shall get to thinking of my native country and maybe get a little homesick.” Thus did the demure little French girl, who was a prisoner of the Huns for thirty long months express her first impression of America and the little city which is to become her -home. - Of course, Rensselaer people need no introduction to Mrs. Duvall, for all week they have been confronted with feature writ-ups by metropolitan scribes of the Duvalls, and almost every paper worth while has seen fit to print the photographs of Mr. and Mrs. Duvall.. Perhaps one of these days when Mrs. Duvall ceases to grow weary of newspaper scribes she will grant us an interview and tell us of some of the experiences she underwent during the thirty months she was a captive of the Germans at Noyon—and then we’ll tell you more about her.

TAX MUST BE PAID IN FULL

NO INSTALLMENT PRIVILEGE FOR RETURNS ON INCOME AFTER MARCH 15. Washington, March 17. —Persons who neglected to pay the instillment of income taxes last Saturday have lost the installment payment privilege and must now pay their entire tax upon demand of a revenue collector. ~ •> To avoid the penalty of 25 per cent in addition to the regular tax, persons who failed to file returns Saturday may n-ow submit belated returns with a sworn statement of the reason for deliquency. Without this the penalty will be imposed. These policies, announced today by Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper, are intended to grant a degree of leniency to those who for some legitimate reason failed to file their returns when they were due. -By law, however, the installment payment privilege is removed from all failing to make payments on time and the internal revenue 'bureau has no authority to change this provision. A revenue bureau statement on the explanation follows: “Revenue collectors will accept all deliquent returns presented after March 15 and deposit any payment made therewith. Under law failure to make first payment by March 15 automatically makes the whole tax payable immediately. Taxpayers filing income returns susequent to March 15, therfore, must pay in full, but if the taxpayer submits a partial payment he will he notified of the balance due later in the regular procedure of listing and sending notices. In reference to the penalty of 25 per cent additional tax for all deliquient the policy will be to proceed sympathetically in accordance with 'the regulations permitting the taxpayer if he desires to file on affidavit within ten days explaining the cause of the delinquency.” The statement was take to indicate that persons who paid their taxes later than Saturday may have as much as sixty days in which to .pay the remainning three-quarters. Revenue Collectors have been instructed to use their own discretion in determining what constitutes a reasonable cause for failure to make returns or payment on tfime. In some cities, according to reports reaching Commissioner Roper today, collectors' odices were unable to accomodate the last hour rush of applicants and these returned today to file returns in person and make payments. In some of these cases it is possible that the requirement that they pay all installments on demand may not be enforced. Reports today showed that hundreds of thousands of small taxpayers paid their entire taxes Saturday and faiiled to take advantage of the installment privilege.

COLONEL HARVEY ATTACKS LEAGUE

Indianapolis, March 17.—Opening the campaign in Indiana against the league of nations covenant. Col. George Harvey, editor of the North American Review, in an address here tonight, declared the proposed league was the most un-American proposition ever submitted! to the American peopße by 'an American president. He was scathing in his rebuke of the entire league plan and attacked former President Taft almost as vigorously as he did President 'Wilson. President Wilson’s fourteen points offered as a basis for peace with Germany, originated with the British except the one refering to the freedom of the seas, Which he declared sprung from Germany. He charged that Anglo-American and Genman-American propoganda is being carried on in favor of the league of nations plan and that interests holding vast amounts of foreign securities are advocating the league in the hope of having it force the United States to provide for ultimate payment of their holdings. The speaker held that if America joined the league she would give up her soveriegnity and independence and said that if he were an Englishman, Frenchman or Italian he would suppor tthe plan.

Woolen goods of any kind whatsoever are acceptable; soft hats and caps for all ages and sweaters of any kind and size. Men's shirts and pajamas, so worn or shrunken as no longer to be serviceable are particularly welcome since the material can be utilized for making children's garments.

If you can’t send them, telephone and we'll “hot foot” it after them. DONT FAIL US, PLEASE I —'American Red Cross, local chapter.
