Is so:
Mrs. James f. Adams. 4oS Madison ST.

highly OF Doan's Kidney Pills and are
never without them in the house. MY
husband made a statement in 1897 recon-
mending Doan's Kidney Pills. His back
had troubled him for twenty years
brought on by a strain across his kid
news years ago. He was lame during the
day and suffered intense pains during
the night, more particularly after hard
davis work. He left languid, tired and
worn out in the morning. Seeing Doans 3
Kidney Pills highly recommended he pro-
cured a box at Danforth's Pharmacy and
used them. The pain was relieved, his
back was made stronger, he rested and
slept well nights and arose in the morn
ines feeling refreshed. ready to do day $
work. He gave a second statement IN
1904. in which he stated that he was still
a strong advocate for Doan's Kidney
Pills, and that their good effects were as
apparent as when made seven years pre-
vious. To-day. April n 1907, can say
that Doan's Kidney Pills act as repre-
sented and take pleasure in recommend

London Olympic Games.

London.-Good progress has been
made with the preparations for the
London Olympic games, which promise
to be the greatest athletic gathering
the world has ever seen. 1t is officially
stated there will be in all probability
more than 5000 athletes in competi
ton, including very large contingents
from America, where Capt. F. Whit
worth Jones, the assistant secretary
Of the British Olympic Association,
says matters have been most enthusi-
astically taken up.
The British Olympic Association has
to rely on its own exertions to raise
large sums necessary to finance the
project, as 1t receives no assistance in
this respect from the government and
ls, therefore, at n disadvantage with
other countries that have held the
games previously.
Gilpin observer., 1908-01-30
HAS INCREASED PENSION LIST
LESS THAN SEVEN
THOUSAND.
IN EFFECT ONE YEAR
NEW APPLICATION IS NECESSARY
FOR EACH AGE
INCREASE.

Washington.-When the service pen
sion act was passed last February
there was much speculation as to what
it's effect would be in placing upon the
pension rolls the names of soldiers and
sailors who heretofore had never
made application. The officials Of the
pension Office were of the opinion that
there would be as many as 100000 ap-
plications from members Of the So
called unknown army" Few persons
thought the number would be less
than $4,000.
The service pension act became ef-
fective February 9Th last. The first
pension certificates under it were is
sued eight days later. Up to the first
of the present year 2S2,S59 certificates
granting pensions under this act had
been issued. The total number of GER
tificates issued under all other laws
last year was 60,S79. Only 6,S61 new
names are on the pension rolls at this
time as result of the legislation OF
February.
About 100000 applications for pen
sions under the service law-most of
them being from men now on the rolls
who desire to take advantage of the
higher rating afforded by the legisla-
tion Of last February-are pending in
the pension Office Many of these
cases have been delayed by reason Of
the discrepancy as to the age Of the
applicant shown in the application and
the age shown by the records Of the
War Department.
Fifty applications for pensions un-
der the service law were filed the day
the act went into effect The follow
ing day more than 100 applications
were received. and in the two or three
weeks following 1000 applications
daily were not unusual.
The service pension law provides
for the allowance of a pension of $12
a month to soldiers between the age
OF sixty-two and seventy years who
served ninety days; a pension Of SIS
month to soldiers between the age of
seventy and seventy-five years, and a
pension Of 500 to soldiers over seventy
five years.
In the last few weeks many sena-
tors and representatives have been
asked by pensioners whether it will
be necessary for them to make new
applications when they reach the Pc
riod of life which names them to re-
ceive higher rating. For instance,
a soldier sixty-nine years old, and pen
stoned at $12, would be entitled to a
rating of SIS on his next birthday
The commissioner Of pensions holds
that in cases of this kind the pensioner
must file new application. He says It
is impossible for the pension office to
keep birthday book" AS all pen
sions under the service law date from
the day Of allowance, applicants will
suffer no financial loss by reason of
this regulation, provided they make
their application the day they reach
an age that entities them to a higher
rating.

Statehood Legislation Delayed.

Washington. - Under a decision
reached by House and Senate leaders
that there will be no statehood legis-
lation for Neww Mexico during the
drst session of the Sixtieth Congress,
arrangements have been made with
Speaker Cannon and Chairman Ham
llton Of the house committee on terri
tories. which Chairman Beveridge of
the Senate committee approves, to
have members of both Senate and
House committees visit New Mexico
Turing The coming recess of Congress
FOR the purpose of making a complete
examination and report.
1t is suggested by the New Mexico
delegation that the visiting committee
be enlarged by ten members OF the
House and Senate. II the report OF
the committee'is favorable, as the New
Mexico delegation expect 1t will be,
the early passage of statehood bill
In tho second session of the present
Congress is, in their opinion, assured
