The Times today prints an editorial on the militant problem which it says is placing the British people on trial in he eyes of other nations. .It. adds that all susr-s-estlons of deportation and violent punishments, like flosg-icg-, are quite impracticable. "The proposal to prosecute subscrib ers to suffragette funds would be more purposeful, but even that presents dif ficulties," adds the Times. "The pro posal to allow hunger strikers to starve is common sense, but the view cannot be adopted because the prison authori ties are legally responsible for the lives of prisoners and must do everything possible to keep them alive. The rem edy eeems to be to pass an act ef Par liament relieving them of responsibility for prisoners refusing food." According to the Standard, seven forged cards of admission were pre sented at Thursday night's court, but all the forgeries were detected. The list of subscribers to the Wo men's Social and Political Union, seized in the recent raid, shows that the movement was being supported by wealthy people.

Good News for Sufferers From Kidney Diseases The kidneys, from their delicate con struction and the filtering work re quired of them, are more susceptible to disease than any other organ to the wonderful machinery of the human body. The most deplorable feature of kidney disease consists in its subtle and delusive character, and so Insidi ous are its ravages that many victims do not even suspect Its existence until the advanced stages have been reached. Few people, after reaching the period of maturity, are in possession of abso lutely healthy kidneys; it follows that the greatest care and vigilance must be exercised to keep these organs free from the dangers that constantly beset them. Since the discovery of Warner's Safe Kidney and Ldver Remedy about 37 years ago, many sufferers from kidney diseases have been benefited by its healing properties.
