What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH
Few people realize to what extent their
henllh depends upon the condition of the
kidneys
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness makes a chemical analy-
sis of the patient’s urine He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength
When the kidneys are neglected or
bused in any way serious results are
sure to follow According to health sta-
tistics Bright’s Disease which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one
year in the Stnte of New York alone
Therefore it is particularly necessary to
pay more attention to the health of these
important organs
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy
is Dr Kilmer’s Swamp-Root the great
kidney liver and bladder remedy
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation in most cases is soon real-
ized according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy
When your kidneys require attention
get Swamp-Root at once from any phar-
macy It is sold by every druggist in
bottles of two sizes — 50c and $100
However if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr

GREAT TRIUMVIRATE NOW RULES
THE KAISER'S MILITARY MACHINE
Into the Hands of Von Hindenburg Von Mackensen and Ludendorff
Masters of War Proved in the Awful Fire of the Last Two
Years the German Emperor Has Committed the Con-
duct of the War— Anecdotes of the Three Chiefs
Berlin — Hindenburg Mackensen
Ludendorff— these are the numes to
conjure with In Germnny today Into
the hands of three masters of war
tried In the awful fire of the Inst two
years the kaiser has committed the
greatest military machine in the world
and all lesser chieftains how bow
down before them
There comes a time In titanic strug-
gles when dlctutors become Imperu
tlve Greut lenders give way to the
greatest A Grant or n Napoleon of In-
exorable will curbs the mighty und
fuses all the vast forces of a nation
into united effort
That is Germany’s situation today
Encircled by the “Iron bnnd” of ene
niles the kaiser has sacrificed even the
astute Von Falkenlinyn who himself
succeeded the clever Vou Moltke In the
early days of the war and for two
years had been head of the great gen-
eral waff Now he In turn must yield
place to a more splendid genius Hin-
denhurg Hindenburg is the great rock on
which the formidable armies of Ger-
many and her allies center Luden-
dorif is his “alter ego” his secoud self
his understudy who stands by Ills side
watching with eagle eye ready to polish
and round off his chief’s plans
Mackensen is the thunderbolt the
master of offensives the maii-clad fist
with which Ilindenhtirg strikes He is
now in charge of the desperate situa-
tion around Itoumanin where he Is at-
tempting to shock Germany’s latest en-
emy by such a smashing blow from
the south that the Roumanian attacks
on other sides will weaken
German soldiers often call Macken-
sen “the Archangel Michael with g
flaming sword” Teuton officers taken
prisoner In Russia recently told “Pe-
troff" the famous war correspondent
of the Russkoe SIovo how he made a
score of Ausfriaq generals cower be-
fore him and how he burned a message
from the kaiser
Petroff describes two war councils
held by Mackensen this summer 'The
first took place at Kovel 19 Austrian
generals of high rank being present
“At the opening of the sitting’! says
Petroff “Prince Leopold of Bavaria
especially sent by the kaiser handed
to Von Mackensen a letter from the
kaiser Von Mackensen rose to his
feet and began to read the important
document Prince Leopold also stood
up Von Mackensen read In silence
becoming pensive often frowning It
was evident that the letter contained
numerous questions and that Prince
Leopold knew their order and char-
acter While von Mackensen was
reading Prince Leopold was actually
as It were counting every expression
on the face of the Carpathian ar-
changel As he read Von Mackensen
sometimes paused to think over the
question dealt with In the letter re-
plying with determination' and reso-
lution Yes’ At other moments he
uttered a resolute “No’ Prince Leo-
pold marked these down
No Answer to Kaiser
“Having finished reading Voff Mack-
ensen again became pensive closed
his eyes and shook his head Then
he rolled the letter up and lighted
it at a gas burner used for the pur-

General Von Hindenburg
pose of lighting cigars holding the
paper In his hand until it burnt to
ashes Then he raised bis eyes to
Prince Leopold who evidently had
been waiting for some statement fBut
Mackensen remained silent
“‘You did not answer the last ques-
tion of the emperor’ remarked the
prince nt last
“ ‘I did not’ slowly retorted Mack-
ensen frowning
"It seemed that the Austrian gen-
erals present knew what the question
was because they all became anxious-
ly attentive and regarded each other
with an air of distress At last paus-
ing at each syllable the field murshul
replied :
“ ‘Because I am too old and because
I have my reputation as a soldier I am
not going to answer anything’
“All sat quiet and depressed Prince
Leopold grasped his throat as If It
was difficult to breathe One of the
generals after a pause asked with
what power the field marshal had been
Invested
"General von Illndenbur and mv-
self’ answered Mackensen ’are thi
two hands of Emperor William and
our action Is dictated solely- by the
heud of the kaiser' We are not limit-
ed in any other way’
“At the conclusion of the official de-
liberations Mackensen frunkly told the
Austrinn generals It was in their In-
terests to obey the German general
staff
“ ‘If you have failed to defend your
country from Invasion’ said he ‘you
should at least obey those who have
already saved you' '
“When the Austrians hnd left Mack-
ensen remarked of the Austrian com-
manders: “‘In the discussion of plans every
one of them is a Macliinvelli but
when it comes to the execution they
have but straw minds and hands of
clay’ 4
“At the second council of war Mack-
ensen - acted as the complete master
lie frankly said a number of the high-
er Austrian generals would be re-
General Von Mackensen -
moved from’ active service as they
were not capable enough Some of
the Austrian commanders asked If
there was any hope of clearing the
Russians from Austrian territory as
had previously been done
Vork in Perfect Accord
“ ‘Our emperor’ answered Macken-
sen is not carrying on war merely for
military glory Neither Is war being
waged for gaining pieces of territory
but solely for the defense of our fu-
therland You must leave it to us to
decide what must and what ’ can be
done’ ”
This would Indicate that Hintfen-
bilrg and ' Mackensen work in per-
fect accord at present Of Hinden-
burg who became famous early In the
war by winning the two great battles
In East Prussia aud twice throwing
back the Russian invaders mure is
known than of Mackensen and hun-
dreds of reams have been written
about him
He has always shown himself quite
Independent of the great general staff
of which he Is now the head
He wus ever a man of mystery and
scarcely known outside military cir-
cles when the war begun
In army circles he was called “der
verruckte Ilinter deu Burg” (the In-
sane one behind the burg) a sportive
play on his name It is even hinted
Hie supposedly omniscient greut gen-
eral staff once printed heiiind his name
in the secret army list the blue cross
that denotes incompetence and is the
precursor of an early relegation to the
despised reserve
On one point Hindenburg was de-
cidedly mud and that was his study of
East Prussia In order to be free from
military restriction he requested his
dismissal that he might the more con-
veniently study the topography of the
frontier Often he could he seen wan-
dering lonesomely along some by-path
unsafe by reason of border smugglers
a towering masterly brooding figure
lie devoted years to his beloved
study and when his plans-were com-
pleted he retired to Karlsbad where
lie wrote a little red book entitled
“The Collupse” which was circulated
only among the members of the war
council and his few private friends
In this book he wrote:
“Our East Prussian frontier seems'
strong but is weak' No army con hold
it The natural boundaries are either
from Danzig through Posen to Rath
bor or the present Russian fortified
line that Is from Riga to Kracow It
Is for you to decide”
Since then the great general staff
has made known Its decision On the
publication of his booklet Hindenburg’
came into his own and even the Ca-
marilla who hated him for hla lode-
ptfiffence could not Stay hla further
progress
At the beginning of the war he was
beaten as he had foreseen for he hnd
been ordered to hold the line that was
untenable - When he had been sev-
i! £
q'ulred no further Instructions but
would tight In accordance with his own
plans It wa4 then that he began to
dear the province and finally by the
crushing defeat at the Masurian lakes -ho
smashed Russia's military activity
for at least twelve months
Gets Crown Prince's Supplies
He has never bowed the knee to the
Camarilla According to the calcula-
tions of the general staff the German
‘troops were tohlhernate in the large
cities of Russia but their winter quar-
ters proved to be the frozen fields No
provision for skin coats had been
made and In spite of the heavy de-
liveries that were’ being sent to the
Camarillu generals on the western
front' Hindenburg obtained nq satis-
factory answer to his repeated requi-
sitions He went in person to Berlin and In
the store depot he found a large con-
signment which he ordered “ to be
railed to his supply headquarters
which were then at Thorn The horri-
fied official informed him that the I parietal- - bone
skins were for the army of the croWn
prince and therefore could --not be
taken away- Hindenburg swore a
volume of oaths and in the end ob-
tained them
Some of the great character traits
of Hindenburg are his piety his love
foi the fatherland and his faithful'
ness to the kaiser When he was a
young lieutenant he used to carry the
New Testament In his breast pocket
This saved his life during the Friitico-
Gornian war A bullet struck the book
but did not penetrate qll the pages
It is a well-known fact that in the
church of'Glauwitz Hindenburg prayed
aloud fpr victory Hindenburg’s pri-
vate life Is absolutely clean He nev-
er played cards or drank excessively
and he hardly ever smoked
Hindenburg never speuks of fate or
luck He does not talk about genius
but he believes that God helped him
“God helped me to gain a victory and
the -kaiser gave me tlie soldiers he
made me commander he trusted me
Be grateful to God and the kaiser
do not thank me” is wlmt he told the
people of - East( Prussia - when they
came to thank and pruise him as their
deliverer
As professor of the “Kriegs Aka-
demie” (sent there by the order of the
general staff) Hindenburg found’ the
best occasion' to educute the young
officers In the most Important' sub-
ject — “applied military tactics” ’Fred-
erick the Great invented for the bene-
fit of his army officers the “Kriegs
Spiel” (war game) and Hindenburg
followed in the -footsteps of the Prus-
sian king by improving this war game
Cut Imposing Figure
When Hindenburg was studying In
the “Kriegs-Akademie” (1873-76) he
became a pupil of Prof I’ochhammer
who tells us that Hindenburg1 cut an
imposing figure He called this soldier beautifuL condition of the brain show-
over six feet tall with broad shoul
ders short-cropped hair and big mus-
tache broad forehead “the living per-
sonification of the war god” When
Professor Pochhammer in his
became tedious and tiresome Hinden-
denburg used to take out his maps
pencils and compass and commence £ai“- bone had’become absorbed
to work on a plan for an imaginary
battle without paying any attention
to the professor
In 1870 he fought against the French
In the battles of St Privat and Sedan
and was decorated with the order of
the Red Cross and the Iron Cross
In 1911 he retired from active serv-
ice until the war of 1914 broke out
when he again returned to the army
and was appointed commander in the
East 1 '
Of Ludendorff even Germans today
know 'little But high army officers
say he deserves a large share of Hin-1
denburg’s fume He has been Hin-
denburg’s chief of staff since August I
1914 and has worked out the Splendid
