L have suffered from kidney trouble
for a number of years. There was
dull pain in the small of my back
the greater part of the time and I
often suffered from pains in my
loins which made me very miser-
able. I have used a great many
remedies but did not receive relief

attention, I procured a box at the

HITS AND MISSES.

McClure's: ''The Spanish war was
won by two naval victories Manila
and Santiago. Naturally, the fame
OF the American navy, and especially
of it's gunneIy, famed across the
world. As matter of fact, the
shooting at Manila and Santiago was
about as bad as possible. At Manila
70 per cent of the shots missed at a
range of from 6,000 to 1000 yards; at
Santlago-the chief battle of the war
at least 80 per cent. A special CON-
mission of officers, which was ap.
pointed to examine the wrecks of the
Spanish ships at Santiago, establish
ed this fact officially. 1t reported
that of $500 projectiles fired, only
l23, or l.3 per cent, had found a
mark on the Spanish ships. Making
every possible allowance for hits
which could not readily he seen upon
the wrecks, not one shot III fifty
struck its mark. The day of the
battle was clear, the sea smooth, the
targets were twenty feet high and 200
feet long, and the range was $500
yards English gunners at that time
could have ait the Spanish ships at
least two out of every five shots. For
tunately for us, the fact that we we're
lighting thoroughly senile power,
whose ships had neither gunners nor
proper ammunition aboard, gave us
an undisputed victory. But there has
been change, the american navy
now leads the world in shooting"

writer. When his hat blows off on a

him to get up in a bus or train tc

Sliding Down a Cask.

One of the vintage ceremonies at
Klosterneuberg the famous convent
which the Viennese visit annually on
st. Leopolds day, consists in sliding
down a giant cask of wine. The i'm
mense cask was first filled in the ia
nous wine year of I'LL. The origin
of the sliding is found in a story of a
cooper who was in the habit of return
ing home in a merry condition. His
wife fetched him one day from the
village inn, and he attempted to hide
behind the cask. She seized broom,
however, and with the help of several
friends forced him to scramble up one
side and slide to the ground on the
opposite as punishment for his con-
duct.-London Mail.

Clean Food,

1t is a good deal more important that
food shall not carry the germs of dis
ease than that it shall be chemically
pure. Table salt, for example, may
contain some soda salts other than the
chloride and still be perfectly health
ful. Corn bread is less healthful when
made from pure cornmeal than when it
has some admiXture Of wheat -four.
But food that is not clean may be
more dangerous than any adulterated

adulterated article carries no disease

Russian Women.

A Russian paid the following glow
ing tribute to The women of his ma
tive land: 'The women of Russia com
blne the yivacity and wit of the
Frenchwoman with the industry and
thrift for which the women of Ger
many are famous. She is superb
wife and mother and withal a fine
mental worker. The Russian girl stu
dent is generally in the front rank at
the universities. Doubtless some of
her fine qualities are due to the fact
that in Russia women are free and
are in every respect considered to be
the equals of men. Russian women are
born politicians and diplomats and so
intensely patriotic that they esteem no
sacrifice too great for their country;
hence as revolutionists-h however mis-
guided-they are infinitely more daring
and devoted than the men. Secrets
have been wrung from male revolu-
tionaries by torture, but never from
the women"

WEST AUSTRALIA.


souvenir pamphlet, issued by the
government of New South Wales,
Australia, welcoming the American
fleet TO Sydney, and telling of the
vast resources of that great state.
This week we received cory of the
Perth West Australia) Sunday
Times, which shows that the fleets
welcome to the west coast was no less
cordial than the greeting of their
Eastern neighbors.
Perth is almost as far from Sydney
as San Francisco is from New York,
but the two are not separated by as
many states, nor as many people.
States are large, and population small
in Australia. But Australia and
America spraug from the same mother
country, and there was something
more than the ordinary blaro Of trum-
pets and waving of flags, for the two
great liberal governments feel they
have other things in common as we'll
as blood.
1t is another great state, this West
Australia great IN area, resources
and ambition, if not in population.
t Is half as large as Europe. From
Albany, where the fleet stopped, to
Wyndham. in the northern part Of
the state, il 200 miles. The area of
the state is AIS. .02O square miles, or
almost six times the size of Kansas.
In all that vast territory there are
little mole than a quarter of a mill
ion people, almost all of whom are
| ALglo-SaXons. That is far smaller
population than that Of New South
| Wales, which is all too sparseIy
populated, and West Australia is al. o
of larger area. The climate of the
Western state is said to be delightful,
and over most of the area there is an
ample rainfall. With all that land,
it offers many opportunities to
settlers, and, like all Australian
states, it is looking for immigrants,
providing they are the proper kind,
Americans and British being pre-
ferred. Fruit, and nearly all pro-
ducts Of the temperate zone are grown
to considerable extent. in the north
ern part OF the state tropical and
sub tropical products may be grown.
Much of this land is open to home
| or of bo - s..)D
a 100 acre farm. and if more land is
wanted it may be had for 50. 80 per
acre. Much of this land is suited to
wheat raising, and wheat is now or @
of the main crops, although little
more is produced in the whole big
state than one good county of Kansas
yields. The average yield is slightly
below what is counted fair crop in
Kansas, being about twelve bushels
, per acre. AS a further inducement
to settlers. West A ustralia maintains
an agricultural bank, where farm
owners may obtain loans at reason
able interest for the purposes of i'm
proving their land, or purchase of
stock for breeding purposes. For
those not interes in agricultural,
West Australia offers opportunities in
mining and lum bering. which they
claim to be superior to those of Brit
ish Columbia. Gold is by far the
leading mineral production, but there
are tin, lead, copper and several
Others of lesser Importance.
West Australia did not become a
white man 3 land to any great extent
until 1928, although it was visited by
white men before the east coast was,
and was, for time, claimed by HoI-
land, aud called New Holland, but
the Dutch never made much progres
in its Development, and it went to the
British for lack of other tenants.

romoRRow's FIGHT.
Cans and Nelson in the Ring for Light
weight Championship.

San Francisco, CAL, July 3.-Joe
Cans and Battling Nelson, who will
meet tomorrow afternoon in a forty
five-round boxing contest for the light
weight championship, have practically
finished their training work. The
weight agreement calls for 1873 pounds
at the ringside stripped, and only work
of the lightest kind will be necessary
for them to reach that figure by Sat
urday. Cans methods of training for
the coming fight have differed from his
usual routine preparatory work for the
many previous contests in which he
has figured. He has confined himself
almost entirely to road work and gym
nasium exercises of the simplest ma
ture, entirely eliminating boxing. By
adopting this course Cans has had in
mind the building up of his strength
in anticipation of a prolonged struggle.
