PLIIN QI'ESTIONS TO RENSSELAER PEOPLE Every Rensselaer Reader Will Admit rhe Soundness of the Logic. Would Rensselaer people recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills as they do if the medicine were not reliable’ Would they confirm their statements after years have elapsed if their experiences did not show the remedy to be deserving of it? Statements like the following must carry cortviction to the mind of evert reader. Mrs. Wm. Moore. Elm St., Rensselaer, says: “I suffered from Kidney trouble, backaches and headaches for a long time. I had no strength or ambition and couldn’t sleep.well. I could hardly turn in bed on account <»f the lameness in my back, — I couldn't do my hoiic.cwork and I knew that my kidney? were weak. Finally I got Doan's Kidney Pills and they cured me of all these ailments. I have never had an attack since,” (Statement given May 31, 1907). On February 29. 1916, Mrs. Moore added: We are never witaottt Doan's in the house. They are the best kidney medicine I know of." Price 60c, at all dealers.. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—set Doan's Kidney Pills —the same that Mrs. Moore has twice publicly recomniended. Foster-Milburn Cd., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. —-Advt.

NEW DRAFT RULE ISSUED

Registrants Do Not Have to Measure to Old Physical Standard. Washington, Feb. I.—New regulations' for selective draft physical examittattous were issued by Provost Marshal General Crowder in preparation f«A extension of the policy of ac•■epring for special and limited service registrants unfitted for general military duty. They will bring into the service under the next draft many men who otherwise would be exempted; The local boards are directed to pass upon registrants for general military service only when they come within the standards of unconditional acceptance or rejection. All other cases must be referred to rhe medical advisory board for further examination. Hereafter there will be no unconditional rejecting of men who have reme-lial defects. Exepriments in the use of lalang grass for paper pulp have been carried out in Australia. There are millions of tons of lalang grass growing in Queensland. It produces three crops a year, and is considered a eurse to the country. It resembles esparto grass and when dried, yields is high as 60 per cent of first-class paper-making pulp. \ The canners of the United States will have to fill close to 70,000,OOV.OOO tin cans in a year to feed oar army and navy. If you allow only five inches as the average length of a can, 70,000,000,000 cans, end to end, would stretch 553,000 miles, or more than twenty times around this old war-torn earth of ours.
