AND AMBITION SLIPPING AWAY.
Staunton women know how the aches
and pains that come when the kidneys
fail make life burden. Backache,
hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells, dis
tressing urinary troubles, all tell OF
sick kidneys and warn you of the
stealthy approach Of diabetes, dropsy
and Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney
Pills permanently cure all these dis
orders. Here's proof of it in Staun-
toms woman's words:
Mrs. Charles +. Danner, liz Z. Sa-
lem ST., Staunton, Va, says: 81 suff-
cred severely from backache and kid
ney trouble. My back was very weak
and if made quick movement, sharp
pains darted through my loins. My
head ached intensely and 1 was also
subject to dizzy spells. I saw Doan's
Kidney Pills highly recommended for
troubles such as mine and 1 procured
a box at Thomas Hogshead's drug
store. They helped me from the first
and continued using them until my
back was strong and the other symp-
toms of kidney complaint were re-
moved. Doan's Kidney Pills have my
highest endorsement.

Followers of the fighting game

in the outcome of the Stanley Ketcnell
and Jack o'Brien bout before the Ma
tional A. G. in New York tonight. The
men are scheduled to go ten rounds. but

round mark is reached. There is no de-
nyirg the fact that Ketchell is the
hardest puncner. but O'Brien's CLEVER

Mr.. O'Brien, the man who associates
with such brilliant society people as

It was in the little village of Saratof,
in far-off Russia, that Jake Gettman,

| Coming to this country In 1885, Jakes
family settled at Hastings, Neb, and
there he has made his home ever since.
From the time he was old enough to
throw and catch a ball, Cettnlan has
been essentially a baseball man. In
1897, when he had attained his majority,
he caught on with the Fort Worth
club of the Texas League. SO well did
he play the outfield, that, in the fall
of that year the Washington Nationals
drafted him and for three years he
represented the Capital City on the
diamond.
In 1900. the hard-hitting fielder went
to Buffalo. where The at once made
| himself solid with the rabid fans Of
| that city, by his hard and timely hit
ting and his easy fielding of his posi-
ton. He has always been an out
fielder, except for a few games that he
| filed in at first base. And Jake was a
classy first sacker, too. For seven
long years, the Bulfalonians did not
! consider that they had a team unless
the old reliable Jake" was in centre
and their hearts were sad when he
went TO Toronto in 1907
In the Canadian city, Gettman be-
came as big a favorite as he had beer
in Buffalo and ranked with the best in
all departments OF the game. When

traded by stallings to Toronto, he and
Larry Schlahy were the component

Tiger camp by Stallings. Jack White
seems certain of the right field, berth,
but, of course, it cannot be said with
any degree of accuracy that the New
