invaded by Russia. Purpose: To win
League condemnation of Russia, pos-
sibly her expulsion, and the support of
other League nations for Finland’s
cause. When the assembly agreed unan-
imously to offer its mediation services,
Avenol sent the bid to Moscow.

The warning sign, “Minen,” (mines) on the cart tells the story of this picture. A squad of German sol-

True, he loved her as he had
never loved anyone else before,
but then she was an angel, while
he had many little weaknesses of
which no angel would ever approve.
Pamela, on the other hand,
spent her time thinking that it was

One night he came to the point.
“Pamela, Pamela,” he urged,
“will you marry me?”
“You bet,” she replied briskly.
“I know, darling,” he answered,
ashamed. “But if you’ll only say
‘Yes,’ I’ll promise never to back

that Russia did not consider herself at

Richard Sandler who had drawn
German wrath.
Q EXCLUDED—Mexican partic-

Venezuela. Reason: Mexico has

Help Them Cleanse the Blood
of Harmful Body Waste
Your kidneys are constantly filtering
waste matter from the blood stream. But
kidneys sometimes lag in their work—do
not act as Nature intended—fail to re-
move impurities that, if retained, may
poison the system and upset the whole
body machinery.
Symptoms may be nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes—a feeling of nervous
anxiety and loss of pep and strength.
Other signs of kidney or bladder dis-
order are sometimes burning, scanty or
too frequent urination.
There should be no doubt that prompt
treatment is wiser than neglect. Use
Doan's Pills. Doan’s have been winning
new friends for more than forty years.
They have a nation-wide reputation.

country over. Ask your neighbor!

WHITE HOUSE:
Trade Pact
At his press conference President
Roosevelt nosed his ship of state
smack into a brewing storm that
will break soon after congress con-
venes. He agreed with Secretary
Cordell Hull that the reciprocal
trade treaty act should be renewed
in 1940. Though the act has been at-
tacked by most Republicans, many
Democrats and a growing body of
farmers, Mr. Roosevelt said it has
resulted in many American export
gains. The President also:

nish President Kyosti Kallio thank-

masks here).
