THE TEST OF MERIT Rensselaer People Are Given Convincing Proof. I No better test of any article can ■ be made than the test of time and this is particularly true of a kidney medicine. Doan’s Kidney Pills have stood t'Ms test and stood it well. What better proof of the merits of this remedy could you demand,«<han the statement of a Rensselaer resident who used it successfully and tells of lasting results. Read the following: Jacob R. Wilcox, retired farmer, says: “I suffered from backaches andi pains across my loins. I couldn’t rest day or night and was tired and worn out. The kidney secretions were highly colored -and contained sediment. Nothing seemed to relieve me until I got Doan’s Kidney Pills from B. F. Fendig’s Drug Store. They relieved the aches and pains. I could rest better, at night and my kidneys were regulated.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) On February 29, 1916, Mr. Wilcox said: “I continue recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills as a reliable medicine. They have never failed to do good work.” Price COc, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Wilcox had. Foster-Mii-burn ■ Co., Mfgrs., Muffalo, N. Y.— Advt.

In tracing the history of shaving it should be sufficient to go back to the Greeks and Romans, upon whose civilization our own is based. Beards were highly esteemed among the former up to the time of Alexander the Great, who was smoothshaven. One reason for the abolition of the beard among soldiers was the fact that it afforded the enemy someth.ng to lay hold of. At an earlier period the wearing of certain types of helmet and gorget had protected the beard. The Romans wore beards down to the time of the Gallic wars, while the Gauls, albeit barbarians, were

smooth-shaven save for the mustache. The antiquity of barber shops and razors in Ramie is’ variously given by historians. 'Some have claimed that the first barber shop, at least In that part of the world, was opened in Sicily im 300 B. €., while other authorities make this date for earlier or later. The Sicilian seems to have been the first Trarber.

BRITISH IN MOVE TO END UNREST

Resolutions to Scan Causes Presented by Henderson and Lloyd George. PEAGESOON, LATTER ASSERTS Will Blockade Hbns Until Pact I* Signed Organized Workers of Britain Demand Greater Bhare of Wealth Produced by Their Effort*. / _ London, Feb. 28.—Stirred by Premier Lloyd George’s ringing call for the same unity Ip the industrial world which won the war, thus preventing n “would catastrophe affecting America as well as Europe," Britain’s industrial congress took great steps toward averting n crisis. In a motion by Arthur Henderson, backed by the premier, the congress which represents nearly every industry In Britain and qiore than 10,000,000 workers, voted the establishment of a commission of 60 members —S') from labor and 30 from capital—to make an inquiry: 1. Into the causes of the present unrest, 2. Into general conditions of industry. 3. Into unemployment and measures for its prevention. 4. Into methods for co-operation between capital and labor. The government will appoint the chairman of this committee, which will report to the industrial congress not later than April 5.

Premier Talks to Miner*. During the afternoon the premier was called torn the congress to the miners’ conference. During- his brief absence from the industrial gathering, the fiery little Welshman swayed the miners' delegation and secured a point in having the national miners’ strike postponed from March 15 to March 22, pending the report of the government commission’s inquiry, in which representatives of the miners will participate. There is a strong reason to believe that this vote of postponement may avert the strike altogether. Lloyd Oeorge promised that the cost of food at the British workingman’s home will have fallen by two shillings a week by the end of March and four shillings a week by the end of April. Hopes for Peace Soon. Chews greeted his announcement that peace preliminaries will be signed within the next few weeks, the German signature —and only that —allowing the removal blockade. The prime minister declared ne dreaded stagnation. If Britain stood still and America and France would stand still, be said, and that woUl 1 mean a catastrophe for the world. “We won the war by unity,” he said, amid cheers. “Let us have the same unity in peace.” Sir Robert Horne, presiding at the congress, declared unemployment was not greater today than In 1914. The government, he said, did not favor the establishment of national factories as that would hamper private enterprise. Demands Share of Wealth.

J. H, Thomas, the labor leader, asserted the miners, railway men and transport workers stood unalterably for government ownership of mines, railways, lnterlnnd and coastal transport, and added: “There has been scandalous profiteering and the organized workers are determined for an increased share In the wealth which their labor produces. “The organized workers of Great Britain have made up their minds to qbtaln for themselves an increasing share of the wealth which their labor has produced and produces. They therefore demand that they* shall become real partners in industry, Jointly sharing In determining working conditions and management. “The miners, railway men and transport workers stand unalterably for the ownership by the state of the mines and railways and of inland and coastal transport.”

FRENCH NEED HUN WARSHIPS

France Won't Consent to Sinking of Valuable Vessels. Paris, Feb. 28.—“ The French delegation to the peace conference will energetically oppose the sinking of the German fleet,” says Stephane Lauzanne in the Matin. “Other powers, of course, may do what they like with their share of the fleet, but the French government and navy” is firmly determined to use the ships which fall to France when the fleet is divided among the allies in proportion to the losses each suffered during the wfir.”
