TWICE PROVEN.

If you suffer backache, sleepless nights, tired dull days and distressing urinary disorders, don’t experiment. Read this twice-told testimony. It’s Rensselaer evidence —doubly proven. Mrs. Aaron Hickman, W. Vine St., Rensselaer, says: “I 'had such severe backaches, headaches and __ pains .across my loins that lecouldr.*tI e couldr.*t sleep well. I felt; tired and worn-out when morning came. The kidney secretions were highly colored and I had no strength or ambition to do anything. I finally used Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from B. F. Fendig’s Drug Store, and they gave me relief at once. They strengthened my kidneys, relieved me of the backache and gave me strength and ambition.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) On February 29, 1916, Mrs. Hickman said: “Doan’s Kidney Pills have done the same good work in the family that I described as my experience in a former recommendation. They are a fine medicine and I shall always praise them.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Dont simply ask for a kidney remedy-Tget Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Hickman has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milbum Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

PREPAREDNESS FAULTY HUGHES AVERS

Nominee Ln, St. Paul Address, Brands Present Course Inadequate—U. S. Failed to Heed Warning. Charles E. Hughes, speaking Wednesday night in the auditorium at St. Paul, assailed the administration for its preparedness policy, which he declared inadequate, and asserted + hat he regarded “reasonable preparedness as a primary duty,” and purposd if elected “to see that it is discharged to the credit of the American people.” “We are a spirited people,” Mr. Hughes declard. “We are a people that can protect ourselves. We are not too proud to fight." Much of the nominee’s address was devoted to the Mexican situation and the calling of the national guard to service on the border. There had been warnings for two years pnd America should be Mr. Hughes said, yet when the time came to put an army on the border “to do police service was presented a spectacle showing - inefficiency of the first magnitude." The administration’s embargo on arms to Mexico was cirticised as “fast and loose —no pblicy.” “I don’t think it a rash statement,” he said. “I think it is warranted by the facts to say that any American soldier killed in Mexico is killed by American bullets that we have let go over the border.” “The punitive expedition in Mexico was only called punitive.” “The only punishment inflicted was punishment on ourselves,” he said. “We punished nobody else.”' A large portion of the address was devoted to a reiteration of his views of the need for industrial co-operation and preparedness for commercial competition after the European war ends.

Newest Dope Says Bremen Will Soon Reach New London.

While nothing tangible developed Wednesday to indicate that the German submarine Bremen would arrive here as earlier reported, men who were connected with the arrival of the Deutschland at Baltimore expected to pay a visit to New York today. These men include Capt. F. Hinsch, of the German steamship Neckar, and his presence gave rise to the report that the Bremen would soon arrive in America. They examined the state pier at the terminal of the Vermont railroad, and this fact also coupled with an advertisement by a contracting company for carpenters to begin construction on a warehouse on the pier today at excessively high wages led to the published reports that-Qie pier at New London would be the Bremen’s destination.

ONE SOLDIER SICK IN THOUSAND TROOPS

Reports to General Lewis Show That Percentage in Indiana Camp at Llando Grande. Mercedes, Texas, August 9.—Briga-dier-General E. M. Lewis, commanding general of the Llano Grande camp, was well pleased when report was made to him yesterday that the sick list amounted to about me sick soldier in every 1,000 troops. This referred only to Indiana. It did not mean, however, that there arc no sick at the camp, because that is not true. The one sick soldier in 1,000 troops meapt that the soldiers’ sickness was of such a character that if they were at hom ethey would be under a doctor’s care.

There are a large number of minor complaints, overeating, drinking too much cold stuff, heat sickness and some who brought their sickness with them. On the day the report was made to General Lewis there were three sick in the Indiana field artillery, and Captain Thompson said one of them would be on duty in a day or two. In the First regiment Major Foxworthy, chief surgeon, ° reported no one seriously sick. In the Second regiment Colonel Coulter reported two of his men as serious but not dangerous. In the Third regiment Colonel Aubrey Kuhlman, after medical officer, reported none of his men seriously sick. The same ratio kept up in the signal corps and in the two ambulance companies. There is no guess work about this; these are the official reports for the way department. “It don’t look as if this was such a camp of sickness,” wai the only comment the commanding general would make.

“One of the ills that human flesh is heir to in this country is a fever called dengue. It is pronounced as if spelled dengay, with the “g” hard. Its -common name is breakbone fever and though it never is fatal, the victim wishes sometimes that he might die. The fever begins in the wrists and ankles and soon all other joints are affected. The pain, which is simply awful, is accompanied by a high fever. After two or three days, a rash breaks out and the fever subsides and the patient thinks he is well, until there is another attack of joint racking. Then the patient gets well. Usually the fever lasts about a week. It is contagious and a fellow may have it as many times as he has hairs in his head. Brigadier General Lewis is guarding against dengue as much as possible and hopes the camp will escape it. There is one case at Mercedes, a hardware merchant being the victim, but he will be kept in quarantine until he gets well.”

Judge Barce Renders Decision In Big Ditch Case.

Elmore Barce, who has been sitting as special judge on the Newton county bench in the Williams ditch case, rendered his decision Monday. The $96,000 ditch is an important system of drainage and drains practically all the country in and around Schneider and west of Momence. The landowners remonstrated, alleging that their assessments were too hugh. After hearing the evidence and going over the land via boat and foot, Judge Barce found that the assessment area was too narrow; that the Williams ditch was practically an outlet for the Marble ditch, which is now under construction; that to avoid too great a burden on the landowners at the lower end of the river next the Illinois state line, the viewers should take in the land along the Marble ditch. Also lands should be taken in along lateral ditches flowing into the Kankakee for some distance up the river. The od report was set aside and the petition was referred back to a new set of drainage commissioners for a new report.

Chicago Wheat Market Stages Sensational Rise Wednesday.

As confidently predicted at the close of the board of trade Tuesday that wheat would soar to an unprecedented mark on Wednesday, the prediction was made good when the wheat market shot skyward. At one time the ascent, of prices amounted to 11 3-4 c a bushel. Trading closed in. a whirl of excitement, showing net gains of 10 5-8 c to 11 3-Bc, with September option at $1.44% to $1.44%, and with December to $1.48 to $1.48 3-8. Something of the strain involved and the far reaching consequences may be realized from the fact that, according to the United States government crop report, which was the principal cause of the day’s excitement, the domestic yield of wheat will be 358,000,000 bushels smaller ..Qian was the case last year. No such shortage had been foreseen by even the gloomiest prophets.

Monon Donates Park to Moody Institute at Cedar Lake.

A religious conference enterprise planned on a large scale has been launched by the Moody church of Chicago at Cedar Lake, modeled on Keswick, England’s famous conference center, and the annual Northfield Conference founded by D. L. Moody, at Northfield, Mass., over 30 yqars ago. , \ There being no conference of the same character in the vicinity of Chicago, the Moody church several years ago projected the Moody Conference Grounds, starting with the Monon park, a 20-acre tract on the west side of Cedar Lake, secured from the Monon Railroad Company. In past years Cedar Lake and Monon park were well known as a favorite rendezvous as a training quarter for Jack Johnson, negro champion. Every summer saw numerous picnic throngs at Monon park, at which liquid refreshments were served and hilarity of a questionable sort reigned supreme. The business was profitable to the railorad, when when Frederick Harrison became president of the Monon it was abandoned. The board of directors, with Mr. Harrison, agreed that it wasn’t good business to allow one of the most beautiful lake resorts in the world, within 40 miles of Chicago, to be known as a prizefighters’ paradise. The picnics were stopped and Monon Park with its commodious buildings was deserted.

PHILADELPHIA PAPERS WILL CUT DOWN SIZE

Alarming Scarcity of Paper Prompts Publishers to Take Steps to Conserve Supply. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 9. —As a result of a series of meetings of the newspaper publishers of Philadelphia, called to consider the serious situation confronting them caused by what are practically famine conditions in the newsprint paper market, the following agreement was unanimously reached: “All daily, evenifig and Sunday newspapers will immediately reduce the size of their issues to the extent of a total excess of eighty pages weekly. “That beginning Sept. 1 next, the accepting from wholesale purchasers of unsold copies of all morning, evening and Sunday newspapers will be discontinued. Heretofore this privilege has been granted to newsboys, news agents, newsstands and carriers. “At this meeting of publishers facts and figures were submitted showing that the mills have been unable to supply the enormous increased demand for white paper. Not only have the mills been unable to lay in a reserve stock during the summer, as in former years, but they are at the present time below their normal supply. So serious has the situation become that it was pointed out that unless drastic reduction of consumption was enforced some newspapers throughout the country would be confronted with possible suspension of publication. Many prominent dailies throughout the state of Pennsylvania have notified the Philadelphia publishers that they will follow their lead in cutting off returns of unsold copies.” The newspapers party to the foregoing agreement and which .constitute the entire local press of recognized circulation, are the following: Evening Ledger, Public Ledger, Evening Bulletin, Evening Telegraph, the North American, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Record and the Press. At the meeting of the publishers it was unanimously agreed to urge all publishers throughout the United States to join with them in similar action. Similar action looking to the conservation of the paper supply was taken by the New York publishers a few days ago.
