Mrs. Lettie Lor, 11*11 Dixie St.,

rheumatic. My back and limbs
were stiff and lame, and the action
of my kidneys were irregular. I
didnt. sleep soundly. I finally used
Doan's Kidney Pills and they made
me well. Doan's Kidney Pills are
the finest remedy I ever used. All
I ssid about them ia other state
ments have been true."
The above Is not an Isolated cane.
Mrs. Loy is only one of msay In

BALANCE OF POWER
Preservation of That Is What
Prove England to War.
If Pressnt Equilibrium of the Great
"Power* of Europe Is pisturbed.
Her Own Maritlms Supremacy
Will Bs Menaced.
By BURTON L. FRAZIER,
Staff Correspondent of the Interna
tional News Service.
London.—The balance of European
power la the object of the stupendous
war now rending all On rope. Not sym
pathy with Berrla or Austria, nor fra
ternal feeling for Slav or Teuton, not
provisions of the triple alliance or the
triple entente drew the great powers
Into a titanic death grapple, but the
threatened overturning of the balance
of power.
Why il) England declare war
against Germany and send her troops
to the continent and her fleets Into the
North sea and the Mediterranean to
: stand beside France and Russia
against Germany and Austria-Hun
gary T That Is a Question which the
British public and perhaps the people
of the United States did not clearly
understand In the heat of the moment,
when the war began.
Contrary to popular opinion, Eng
land did not hot-headedly espouse the
cause at little Beryls nor blindly fol
low the lead of France and Russia,
her allies in the triple entente. Eng
land did not allow either her sympa
thies nor her diplomatic obliga
tions to run away with her. She de
clared war to preserve the balance of
power In Europe. That Is the stake In
this most far-reaching war.
The full gravity of the present Eu
ropean situation cannot be appreciated
unlees it is clearly and definitely un
derstood that 4n this great Interna
tional conflagration England could not,
in her own most vital Interest, afford
to stand out.
It was not a matter of sympathy, of
philanthropy or of International honor,
aa some of the talk in parliament
might have Indicated at the time Eng
lftnd'a action was being dlacuaaed, but
a matter of self-preservation.
By the balance of power la meant
the oontrol of Europe. The object of
Qreat Britain's foreign policy la to
keep the great power* In equilibrium.
The Increased strength of the triple al
liance, brought about by the enormous
military and nftval development of Oer
many, forced the dual alliance of
France and Russia. In the same way
the rise of Germany led to the conclu
sion of the entente oordlale between
England and France, which, on being
extended to Russia, resulted In the
present triple entente.
The whole security of the British
empire, economically, commercially, In
dustrially, as well as in naval and
military power, depends on the main
tenance of the balance of power.
By balance of power Is meant the
equal, or as nearly equal as possible,
distribution of power among the six
great nations, such ft dlstiibdtton aa
has prevailed since 1870. Should any
one nation become too powerful, by
the absorbtlon of another state or
group of smftll states, It would caus«
an over-bftlsnce of power ftnd Europe'!
equilibrium would be upset.
Thue It was that Germany, fearing
the long-threatened Pan-Slavic union.
Jumped into the conflict. In like man
ner Russia, England and France feared
that Austria-Hungary had designs on
Servlft and other smftll Slav states-t>f
southeastern Europe and might an
nex them If she were vlctorloua In the
war." This would hftve given Austria,
and Germany too much of the balance
of power and would have upset the
equilibrium In the other direction.
Great Britain cannot Jeopardise her
maritime supremacy, safe-guarding her
communication wltfl her over-seaa do
minions, Canada, Australia, India and
Africa, by running the risk of any one
power or group of powers obtaining
ascendency on the continent. There
fore England Joined the war.
Watson Calls On
America to Act
London. —A poem entitled "To
the United Slates," by William
Wataon, la published In the
Post. It follow*:
Or oat, O majestic nation, great
Is oalm;
Ureal when old bounds dis
solve, to tower apart.
There beyond Europe's throes
and with a heart
At peace from northern pine
to southern palm.
Oreat In glad harvest time to
send the psalm
Rolling to heaven, nor be as
they who start
At mutter of far cannon and
when the mart
Rocks to and fro delirious,
great la calm.
But when a despot, swollen with
the desire
Of boundless sway, forbears
' not to uncage
War's wolves on shleldleas
youth and goardless age.
Greater, O nation, greater
then la ire!
Dot, then, thy placid mien, un
leash thy rage!
And soar and blaat with thy
lips of Are.

It is a "Balance of Power" War
Oeorgeßernard Shaw in London
Daily News.
Now that wc arc at war it is aa
well that we should know what the
war la about. To begin with, we
are not at war because Germany
made "an infamous proposal," that
we should al'ow her to violate Bel
gian neutrality. If it had suited
us to accept that proposal we could
have found plenty of reasons for
accepting It (the advocates of,our
own neutrality have found some of
them already), no mors. infamous
than the diplomatic reasons we
have given in the past for courses
which happened to be convenient
to us. Let us therefore drop it.
Our national trick uf virtuous in
dignation is tiresome Enough in
peaceful party strife at home. At
war it is ungallant and unpardona
ble. Let us take our pugnacity to
the field, and leave our hypocrisy
and our bad blood at home. They
weaken the heroic fighter and en
courage only the blackguard. ,
This war is a balance-of-power
war and nothing else. And the fact
we have aiP'fu fnce- is that if our
side is victorious the result will be
an over balance of power in favor
of Hussia, far more dangerous to
'all the other combatants than the
one we are fighting to redress.
• • • • Prussian has
has bullied us for 40 years; and a
month ago Germany or
France believed that we would
fight when it came to the point.
Tnat is why there was such a wild
explosion of delighted surprise
French chamber learned
that we were game after all. That
is why the Kaiser, though reckless
of every other interest concerned,
offered us the best excuse he could
Invent for our neutrality, believing
that we were only too ready to
snatch at it. And that is also why
we had to take off our coat and
sail in. We had to show that when
it comes to a balance of the powers
wfe are no mere dummy weights in
the scale. And since Sir Edward
Grey had written our names on the
back of his bill to France, we had
to see that it was paid' to the ut
etermost farthing, and with the
handsomest interest possible. Our
immediate business is therefore to
fight as haTd as we can; for our
weight when the settlement comes
will depend on the part we shall
have played in tho conflict.

It Weaker Than Before. l>odaoa's
IJter Tone Is Hetter to Take.
Nearly everybody who has ever
tried calomel has found that it
gives only a temporary relief. For
calomel is such a powerful drug
that it shocks and weakens the liv
er and makes it less able afterward
to do Its duty than In the first
place.
This Is one of the reasons why
Oraham Drug Company guarantees
Dodson's Liver Tone to take the
place of calomel Do.dson's Liver
Tone is a pure, vegetable liver
tonic that will cure constipation
quickly and gently without any
danger of bad after effects. It is
guaranteed to do this with a
fuarantee that is simple and fair,
f you buy a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone-for yourself or your
children, and* find that it docs not
perfectly takz the place of calomel
then return to the store where you
bought It and get your money back
