Uric acid is a deadly poison that IS produced in the human body, and it is the duty of the kidneys to collect this poison from the blood. and to pass it safely out of the system, together with all waste water.
 ! It is the presence in the body of an excess of uric acid that causes so much pain and suffering. and SO many of the aches that are commonly at tributed to rheumatism.
 1 The kidneys are bean-shaped or gans, composed of masses of little tubes, all of which pour their secre- tions into a main channel that leads to the bladder. In this way the kid neys pass off more than an ounce of poison every day when in health.
 But 1t does not take much to set the Kidneys back. and when they get behind, they can not right themselves without help. The uric acid begins to clog the. kidneys, causing that dull heavy aching in the back and sharp twlnges when stooping or lifting. IL crystalllEes in the muscles and joints and every turn or twist brings keen est torture. It attacks the nerves with neuralgia and sciatica. It brings headache. dizziness, lsnguor, and disorder of the urine.
 [ Try c good kidney medicine. if you have sny of the above symptoms There Is nothing else 90 prompt and effective as Doan's Kidney Pills. and

ACTOR HITCHCOCK
 TELLS HIS STORY,
Gives His Version of Affair
 Testified to by Girls.

New York, June 10.-.As the leading figure in the most somber drama in which he ever took part, Raymond Hitchcock. comedian, went on the wit. ness stand and. denied the charges of assault and abduction made against him by Helen von Hagen and Elsie Yoecks.
 Filled with surprises was Hitch cocks testimony. He admitted that some time in December, 1906, he took Helen von Hagen and Elsie Voecks to the house with the green shutters" in West Forte first street, but he asserted that he took the girls there in further. ance os prearranged plan to obtain statements from them. The actor said that his valet, referred to in the trial as Herman, was hidden behind a curtain and heard everything that was said. Hitchcock denied he had taken the yon Hagen girl or any other girl to the house at any other time.
 Mrs. Raymond Hitchcock testified in behalf of her husband. She corrob- orated part of the evidence which her husband gave. and she added that it was at her suggestion that Hitchcock took the two girls to the room in West Forty-first street and accused them of having circulated false stories about him. At the time Hitchcock took the girls to the room, the testi. mony showed. efforts were being made to blackmail the actor because of his association with the girls.

csuIiflowsr Luncheon the Latest.

It is not new to have certain fruit served In many forms at a luncheon and bestow the name of that fruit upon the meal. Thus the strawberry lunch. con and the cantaloupe luncheon are old friends. But to use that idea In connection with vegetables seems new. Has anybody heard of spinach lunch con? Miss Newberry. daughter of the assistant secretary of the navy, struck out along that path recently when she gave a caulInower luncheon. Caull- flower was used even as center piece. white and dainty looking and surrounded by nodding clusters of white sweet peas. Every course intro duced the same vegetable, and the cakes and Ices were miniature heads of the patrician cabbage. Miss New berry wore white organdie, much be- frflled and suggestive of caulinower. The Idea does not seem poetic, but is novel.

Royal Yachts Anchor Together In
 Finnish Port.
 RevaI, June 10.-- Edward VII, king of England, and Emperor Nicholas ex- changed royal visits on the waters of the bay of Reyal, in the gulf of Fin land It was notable meeting and one which may have farreaching effect in the world policies of the future.
 The day was brilliant with sunshine, and the imperial yachts, surrounded by British and Russian warships lying in the roadstead, made beautiful and impressive picture. The hills and the wooded shores of the bay were crowd. ed with thousands, and the arrival of the British king by sea and the em- peror of Russia by land was made the occasion of unbounded enthusiasm.
 King Edward had a long private con. sultation with Premier Stolypin after luncheon, returning to the cabin with him. Nothing with regard to the pur- port of the conversations between the king and emperor and the ministers has been published, but it is under stood that they touched political rela- tions only in a general way.
