FOR EVERY ILL THERE is A CAUSE

Persons who at middle age should
feel the full strength and energy of
youth are often rheumatic, nervous,
irritable and inclined to worry too
much. There are spells of utter weari-
ness, life is made miserable by con-
slant lameness and dull backache and
sleep IS disturbed with pain and dis
tressing urinary disorders.
You have tried to shake this off and
wonder why you can't. Probably you
have missed the hidden cause-sick
kidneys. Prompt treatment with
Doan's Kidney Pills would right
things quickly
An active life weakens the kidneys
and something must be done to stimu-
late the little filters of the blood-to
keep them working as they should.
Every day of your life the blood
gathers up a dangerous amount of
uric poison, and if the kidneys do not
pass it all off with the urine, there is
bound to be serious trouble. Uric acid
weights the blood, clogs the circula-
ton, weakens the heart, dulls the
brain, irritates the nerves and forms
little jagged crystals in the muscles
and joints that cause acute pain when
these parts are moved. These pains
you know as sciatica, rheumatism,

DE COLA ROMANCE
REPORTED AT END
Young Wife of Clubman Goes 10
Mothers Home and Divorce
RumOrs Circulate

OAKLAND. May 9-Dame Gossip
has set the most exclusive social cir
cIes of Oakland ahutter by whispering
that the romantic marriage of Mr. and
Mrs George f. de Cola Jr.. which
was soIemnized less than two years
ago, has had a most lugubrious ter
mination in the separation of the
young couple. 1t was learned today
that Mrs de Cola, who, prior to her
marriage. was Miss Edith Coffin. one
of the most popular debutantes OF
three seasons ago. has returned TO the
home of her mother, Mrs A +. CONN,
at 255 Perry street, and that the De
Cola Jr home at "a Lewis street will
probably be closed permanently In the
near future. The forsaken husband
will, il is rumored, take up his resi-
dence temporarily at least In his
fathers home. adjoining the Claremont
country club.
PARENTS ARE MUM
Although the parents of Mrs. de
Cola absolutely refused TO discuss the
reported separation today and the
young wife herself was equally reti-
cent, it is generally understood that
she will file suit for divorce soon, and
that general incompatibility of tenn
per will be the plea advanced in the
complaint. The De GOlias' infant
child, the only offspring of the mar
riage, is with its mother.
Mr.. and Mrs. de Cola are among the
most prominent of the younger exclu-
sive set in this city, and their home In
the Piedmont hills has been the scene
of many elaborate entertainments
since their marriage. George de Go
liza Jr. is a well known clubman, and
was at one time identified with the
local Bank of Germany.
George de Cola Sr- is successful
attorney of Oakland and he and his
wife are prominent members of the
Claremont country club and of the So
cial set which makes that exclusive
organization it's rendezvous.
The marriage of the young De Golias
was enveloped sin romance. They
eloped to San Rafael, where they were
married secretly, and the announce
ment that they were husband and wife
was not made public until two months
after the ceremony was performed.

community against the proposed JEFF
fr1es-Johnson fight at Emeryville Jul.

resolutions, which are addressed to th
authorities:
Whereas, it is currently reported
that there is to be held on July 4,
1910, on the racetrack at Emery
vile, town of Alameda county,
and not far from the University of
California, prize fight between
James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson
for the heavy weight championship
of the world; and,
Whereas, the holding of such
hight on the anniversary. of the
nations natal day, the day that
hallows the name of Washington
and is the memorial of liberty and
national independence, would be an
insult to the patriotic sentiments of
our people and wanton misuse OF
day consecrated to such high
heroism and sacrifice; and,
Whereas, the holding of such
fight would attract. to this COM
munity an undesirable element
among which there will be Grim
lnals of both races, whose presence
would be menace to good order,
and to our peace and safety; and,
Whereas, it would misrepresent
the better elements of this com
munity and this commonwealth,
and would set forth California in
an unenviable light that would dis
credit and injure us in the estima-
ton of the people of this country
and of the world, and repel those
whom we desire to attract as bet
ter citizens, thus retarding the
growth and development of the
community and state; therefore,
Resolved, that we, the under
signed men of the First Presby
terian church of Oakland. hereby
earnestly protest against the hold
ing of such prize fight, and call
upon our public officials to enforce
the law and prevent the fight; and,
Resolved, that a copy of these
resolutions be sent to District At
torney w. II. Donahue, Sheriff
Frank Barnet, Attorney General U.
S. Webb and James N. Gillett, gov
ernor of the state of California.
