London, Eng.-The funeral of King
Edward is declared to have been the
most imposing ceremonial Great
Britain's capital ever witnessed. Thirty
thousand soldiers were brought from
Aldershot and other military camps to
line the streets when the procession
passed
AS there was no room to barrack
them over night, the soldiers bivouaced
in the parks and streets. The city had
the appearance Of an invested town
for two days Some Of the soldiers
slept in tents In the parks. while the
remainder lay down beside their guns
In the streets.
At a conservative estimate 100000
persons passed through Westminster
hall to look upon the coffin Of the king
lying in state. Barriers were built, by
means of which the people were
ushered through In four lines at the
rate Of $4,000 an hour. The body Of
the late king was not exposed to view.

Windsor were all Of the queen moth

Scotland yard had all its detectives
on duty, and these were reinforced by
hundred more from continental
cities. All visitors were watched, but
there was little real fear of anarchistic
attempts, because it was known that
every one under surveillance would be
deported from England If any trouble
were caused on this occasion, and 1t
was not likely that the persons of the
anarchist type would give up volun-
tarily their safest refuge in Europe.
The procession to Westminster hall
May II for the lying in state was al
most on as great a scale as the fu-
neral procession. The cortege included
King George and all the foreign SOW
ereigns on horseback. and the queen
mother and the royal ladies in car
riages.
When the funeral procession started
every street car in London came to a
standstill for a quarter of an hour. All
the public houses in London were
closed while the procession was pass
ing.

its final resting place the carved
stalls were removed in order to give
place to timber seating. Otherwise
not a tenth of those entitled to attend
would have been able to enter. The
chapel was draped with violet hang

Electric standards were fixed around
the place in Westminster hall where
the catafalque stood. The public was
admitted until ten o'clock at night.
The catafalque occupied the spot on
which Gladstone's catafalque stood.
The coffin was sealed and draped

ming into Bright's disease. My body bioated a great
deal and I had such terrible pains in the small Of my

cured a supply. The contents Of the first box did
me so much good that I continued taking tho remedy

pains in the small Of my back and sthe time passed.
the trouble increased until my whole right hip was af-
foctcd. For six months I could not sit In a chair and
I was unable to sleep nights. I lost forty pounds In
weight and was so lame and sore that I could not
raise my hands to my face. ! was .anguid, had no
energy and was bothered by a shortness Of breath.
During all that time I doctored and used a great
amount OF medicine but to no avail. Sometimes there
was an almost complete retention Of the kidney secre-
tions and there was much sediment in them. My wife
finally persuaded me to try Doan's Kidney Pills.
They gave me such prompt relief that I continued
taking them and gradually my condition improved.
The trouble with my kidneys was corrected and my
aches and pains were removed. 1 am SO grateful for this
