vine, who is very well known here.
She says:

At times would be so bad l could not
put my feet to the ground. AS / am
over seventy-three years of age l be-
gan to think | was too old to get
cured and should have to bear my

But heard about Dodd's Kidney Pills
and thought would give them trial.

did me wonderful lot of good They
eased the pain from the first, and to-
day am in better health than l have
been for many years."

The freedom of the city of London.
a distinction on which many states
men and warriors have set great store.
was recently bestowed on General
Booth of the Salvation Army, who ac-
cepted it as the recognition of the
worldwide work of the army. The pre-
sentation was made in the presence of
distinguished company, including
civic officials, several thousand citi-
zens and many officers of the Salvation
Army. The address referred in glow
ing terms to the work of General
Booth and his organization. not only
in London, but throughout the world.
The general in reply referred to the
difficulties which beset him in his
early days and which are only now be-
coming officially recognized.
Instead of the usual gold casket the
address was inclosed in an oaken cas-
ket, the balance of the money voted by
the municipal council being, at the re-
quest of General Booth, given in the
shape of a check toward the funds of
the organization.

now assured.
The complete returns give McClel-
Ian q plurality of 3,S45 votes, the
smallest ever recorded for successful
mayoralty candidate, and Il result
which might readily be reversed by
recount of the ballots. Alexander Ba-
con and f. B. Brown of counsel for
William Randolph Hearst and the Mu-
nicipal Ownership League, called at
police headquarters late tonight and
served an order from Justice Gaynor
on Captain Cruise, In charge of head
quarters at night.
The order was actually for Commits
sioner McAdoo and the captain was
served as his representative. He i'm
mediately telephoned the order to Mr..

ROOSEVELT TEMPLE.
Great National Hall Suggested f
Washington.

Washington.-The tribute paid to
President Roosevelt in LOndan in con
nection with the lord mayors parade,
has directed attention here to a sus-
gestion emanating from ]. Selwin TAFT,
representative of the International
Banking Corporation. that the triumph
of the President as peacemaker be
perpetuated by the erection in the
capital city of magnificent 'Roose-
welt temple of peace"
The author of this project feels
that there will be no difficulty in
raising by public subscription fund
sufficient to erect structure in every
respect worthy of the triumph at
Portsmouth. The suggestion is that
there be erected a building of heroic
proportions, to be used for conventions
and meetings of national character, to
be of rich design, with ornamentation
emblematic of peace and perhaps
symbolic of the success of President
Roosevelt in tightening the bonds of
brotherhood between the North and
South.

Every mother possesses information
which is CT vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and

Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug

The Best Example Of What a Pure
Baking Powder Should Be in Quail
ity and Price.
A popular and efficient baking powder re-
Guires two things-first, that the food made
with it shall be absolutely wholesome;
second that it shall be sold Mt Il reasonable
price
In talking about the healthfulness Of
baking powder, it must be remembered
that baking powder is not an article OF diet
any more than compressed yeast One
the other. except that of the two, the bal-
ing powder might be preferable.
We do not cat either baking powder or
yeast. What we do eat is the biscuit and
bread raised with them. When placed upon
the tai BILE no yeast remains in the bread and
no baking powder in the biscuit. Both
leavening agents have been destroyed in
the acration and the baking; otherwise, in
stead of light bread and biscuit we should
have n mass of heavy. nard- baked dough.
One well-known brand. X & Baking
Powder is sold under II $500,0O0 guarantee
of its healthfulncss and purity. There can
be no doubt that II baking powder so guar
anteed is absolutely wholesome and perfect
ly reliable. Even If it did remain in the
food 1t could do nothing but good.
With regard to price. Il baking powder as
efficient and wholesome as is possible to
make can he sold. ut fair profit for one
