Occasional attacks of backache,
irregular urination, headaches and

symptoms of kidney disorders. It's
an error to neglect these ills. The
attacks may pass off for a time, but
return with greater intensity. If
there are symptoms of dropsy-

bioating of limbs or ankles, or any
other part of the body, don't delay
a minute. Begin taking Doan's

That Thursday afternoon Hepworth

The senator from Alpine had arisen
to "a question of privilege" For per-

becoming painful. Then he began by
calling the attention of the senate to
the fact that for many days past ru-
mors of a very serious nature, inti-
mately affecting his own reputation,
had been circulating in both branches
of the legislature.
: During the next ten minutes, amid
the most profound attention, he mar
rated the history of his\ own indict-

ment for the crime of forgery. The
deliberation with which he supplied

CONTRACT SYSTEM Is COSTLY
Conclusions of the Superintendent of
Foreign Mails. !,

According to the annual report of
the superintendent Of foreign mails
it cost, the government during the fs-
Cdf year ended June 80, 1905, $42I,630
more for ocean mail service under the
contract system than it would have
had had the mails been transported
and paid for by weight. The most
disproporti0nate cases the report
shows are those embracing the routes
between San Francisco and Tahiti
and New York and Havana In the
former instance the cost was $42,120
for carrying mails which, if paid for
by weight, would have been but 81, ,153,
while it cost to transport the mails
to Havana $71,878, but which if paid
for by weight, would have resulted in
an outlay of but s2,239. In but one
instance is it shown that the contract
system worked advantageously. to the
government, and that was on the New
York and Southampton route which
cost $662,688, whereas, it is stated,
had it been paid for under the system
Of weights, it would have involved
an expenditure of $119,748, additional:
The excess of cost of contract serv:
ice on the several routes as against
what it would have been if paid for
by weight is as follows: New York
to La Guaira, $14,9S6; New York to
Maracaibo, $36,109; New York to Tux
pan, $106,800; Boston, Philadelphia
and New York to Port Antonio, $780,
958; San Francisco to Sydney, New
South Wales, $2o6,796.
The quickest trip between New
York and London was LA hours and
six minutes, and between New York
and Paris, 155 hours; between San
Francisco and Yokohama, 401 hours
and 36 minutes. and between San
Francisco and Hongkong, 624 hours
and 6'1minutes.

Secretary Taft's Travels,

Secretary Taft has Travelled 100000
miles or four times the distance
around the world at the equator, since
May "a, 1900, when he became gov.
ernor general of the Philippines In
the five and half years since his call
from the federal bench he has spent
$50 days on. the ocean, or almost one
year. He has passed six weeks on rail-
road trains. Most of this has come in
his three trips to the Philippines, one
of them by way of Rome, and his two
trips to the isthmus. These facts,
which came out in recent personal
conversation, show something of the
demand of a public position in this
age of America as a world power.
