what seems to be a better plan is that

strapped upon the shoulders of the lit

keep their shoulders erect, and contrib

that amy member of congress will take
up the cudgels on Days idea, and start
the ball rolling for Roosevelt's inn

poses now to argue with and convince
the public.
These are curious times. Here's the
great New York Telephone company u.s.
ing pages of the newspapers in reach
ing the public. 1t is trying to con-
vince the public and the business men
of New York City that it is better to
have but one system of telephones in
the great city. 1t argues that the tele
phone business is different from any
other business, and that the admission
of the independent telephone would
only confuse matters and double the
expense and annoyance of the business.
and inasmuch to reach his customers
every dealer would have to be connect

two telephone. systems each telephone
list would be defective, for neither
would have the names Of all the per
sons who use telephones, whereas the
present list has. As it is now, there is
one book for all telephone users, and
the finding of one you seek is, if he has
telephone at all, very simple mat

DON MISTAKE THE CAUSE OF YOUR

Many people never suspect their kid
peys. If suffering fIom lame, weak
or aching back they think that it is
only muscular weakness; when uri-
nary trouble sets in they think it will
soon correct itself. And so it is with
all the other systems of kidney disor
ders. That is just where the danger
lies. You must cure these troubles or
they lead to diabetes or Bright's dis
ease. The best remedy to use is Doan g
Kidney Pills 1t cures all ills which
are caused by weak or diseased kid

John P Rhodes, Of Main St., the

Kaiser's Language Reform.

From the London Mail.
The kaiser has declared war on interna-
tional automobile Technology. and has de-
cided that. so far as his own country is
concerned. the language of motordom shall
be made In Germany" He has caused an
intimation to go forth that hereafter there
shall be no such functionaries as ''chauf-
feurs'' in the imperial service. but that they
shall be called "wagonfuehrer" (wagon-
drivers). and the expectation is that gar
age" chassis" and ''tonneau" will soon
follow the chauffeur into oblivion.
Despite the modern Germans fondness
for words of foreign origin. especially from
English and French, the kaiser is the re-
cipient of widespread praise for his efforts
to purify" the German tongue of foreign
corruptions. 1t has long been one of his
hobbies to accomplish this
Soon after he assembled the throne he
shocked court circles by ordering that the
menus of state dinners should henceforth
be called "speiskarten." and the courses
served under German instead of the tradi-
tiOnal French names. His ma jesty recently
gave a fresh evidence of his desires in this
direction by commanding that French terms
should be struck out of the military CODE
substituting undefiled German idioms.
Under the new automobile language the
kaiser's chief chauffeur must motor through
life under the imposing title of ''oberhof-
wagonfeuhrer."

A Woman's Gift to a Hospital.

From the New York Press
With the impressive ritualistic cere-
mony Of the Episcopal Church, the new
private patients pavilion Of ST.. Luke's
Hospital the gift Of Mrs. Margaret J.
Plant-Graves. a devout Catholic and the
widow of Henry j. Plant. was dedicated
Tuesday afternoon by Bishop Greer, as
sisted by two other bishops. Mrs. Plant
Graves participated in the celebration
She was accompanied by Miss Annie
Leary. close friend, who also is g.
Catholic. In his speech thanking her for
the handsome half-million-dollar addition
to the hospital, George M. Miller presf-
dent Of the hospital. said:
Such gifts are of rare occurrence. Not
the least Of the motives which inspired
Mrs. Graves was the discovery Of the fact
that st. Lukes cares for more Roman
Catholics than those Of any other religious
amliation. Such a record, she thought.
would do away with any religious scru-
pies
Bishop Potter was to have said the serv-
ice Of benedictton. Because OF the death
and Bishop Greer of1ciated in his stead.
The pavilion Is one of the largest and
best appointed buildings OF its kind in
America. The hospital officials say that

solarium 1t Is a model. 1t will be opened
to patients on November S. There is a

stories and q basement. The walls are of
cream colored brick and white marble. On
the five floors to be used by the patients
there are sixty-fve rooms.
