There was new life in the mes

BIDS, through the very heart of the
swamps, shows how well the fight
was fought. Tracks we'll laid, steam

to see to what purpose were spent

seventy-six years, and never yet has
failed to give relief, If taken in

cures backache. lame back, head
ache, dizzy spells, urinary troubles,
rheumatic pain, gravel, dropsy
swellings, nervousness, languor,
sciatica, and all other symptoms of
kidney troubles.
Fifty thousand people have testi-
fed to the worth of Doan's Kidney
Pills. Here's a home case.
SPOKANE PROOF:
Mrs. N. Gillen of 1928 First ave-
nue.. Spokane, Wash, says: MY ex-
perience with Doan's Kidney Pills
was quite gratifying, and I can
recommend this preparation as a re-
liable remedy for kidney troubles
and all the symptoms arising there
from. There never was any doubt
In my mind that my trouble was due
to the kidneys not performing their
duties, but I had great difficulty in
finding a medicine to help me until
1 got Doan's Kidney Pills at the
Linn Bradley pharmacy. The first
dose helped me. and the medicine
soon rid me Of every trace of trou-

HOW STEVENS IS DIGGING THE DITCH
BY VICTOR M. HUGHES.

PANAMA, Isthmus of Panama,
Oct. 16.-The ingenuity of Chief
Engineer Stevens and his corps has
blossomed again and brought forth
the movable trestle dump. design
ed to dispose of excavated material
near the base of operations and to
save the nation millions.
Originally it was believed that
all earth would have to be carried
by train to the seaboards, man.
moth lighters theer to serve as
deep sea dumps. AS the isthmus
is AZ miles wide this would have
resulted in the working of a large
number of trains and men. All the
big work must be done at Bas
Obispo and Culebra, both far from
either coast.
With the movable trestle, plans
of which have been perfected,
dumps will be built in connection
with each steam shovel, and trains
will carry the dirt to nearby
swamp lands, any place with a de-
preston of 20 feet being available.
There are innumerable swamps.
Automatic devices will clear the
cars in a twinkle.
Double tracks have been con-
structed and loaded trains will go
to the dump on one track and re-
turn, empty, on another. A 80
ton steam shovel, whose dipber ex-
cavates six cubic yards of earth
with each upward thrust of the
boom, is capable of loading the av-
erage freight car in one and one
half minutes.
The opening of the dry season
in December will see the dirt fly
as dirt never did before. Stevens
and his men have worked against
heavy odds throughout the wet sea
son. For seven months it has rain
ed practically every day, 1t will |
rain every day for two more. Aad

Just what will be left in the line of
possible new toys for the metropolitan
children of the next generation, unless
1t be flying machines, is a Christmas
problem which seems to have reached
nearly the limit. From the simple
home made toys which delighted the
child Of thirty or forty years ago on
Christmas morning. the question
which most vexes the modern Kris
krin2le is that Of finding something
new for New York youngsters. The
results as indicated by the modern
toys now to be seen i'll the city have
been astonishing. There is the toy
COW which can actually be MIXED, the
fluid being put in through a small
opening in the back to flow out Ia ma
tllTc. Then there is the flirting doll,
who sweeps a long deep glance be-
:,cath half raised eyelashes to say
nothing of the doll baby which will
Consume milk from bottle like its
human prototype. There is also
mechanical hen with real feathers that
lays real eggs or china ones if this
is deemed safer,-and cackles like her
barnyard sister. There is the elephant
which curlS its trunk trumpets and
charges about the nursery, to say
nothing of many other animals In
the mechanical field complete railroads
are already old. the latest thing being
a ohild's automobile now on exhibition
for the first time. 1t is Al inches long

20 accommodate good sized
youngster 1t has wheels only IS
irches in diameter, and with a cor
respondingly small motor is capable of
travelling some twenty miles on one
charge at speed of eight or ten miles
an hour. Altogether the New York
Sartt. Clause is an extremely up to
date person, bringing the city's
wealthy children the very newest toys
III the world. But the question still
remains as to what the next genera
ton can have unless it be airships.
