 Here is Pine Bluff testimony to prove it.
 Henry Meadows, 906 E. Second Ave, Pine Bluff, Ark, says: About three years ago kidney complaint got such a firm hold upon me that had to go to the hospital. There were also symptoms of dropsy and Bright's dis ease ill my case. My limbs were bad ly swollen and the kidney secretions became unnatural. Finally I was able to leave the hospital but I still had trouble from my kidneys.

The book of the play is written by Aaron Moffham and Paul West. the lyrics by Seymour Brown and the music by Nat Aver and John w. Bratton.
 James E. Rosen. the midget whom we have seen before as Buster Brown is the bright particular star of the production, and his hit is inevitable from the first curtain to the last His role is that of Napoleon Ncwlw wed, the baby of cartoon fame. and Rosen also plays the part of Major Knott Much. Lill;putian who is sub stituted for the NcWlywed youugster when the real baby is Kidnapped by the head of an incubator exhibition anxious to make his fortune by showing Napoleon.
 Leo Hayes and Countess Olga von 11atzfaldt have the Mir and Mrs. Newlywed parts, and make up to look very much like the MeManus cartoon. Taken altogether, the of fering is the best that was ever at tempted in the matter of staging car toons, is the concensus of opinion of the New York press.

In one of Rudyard Kipling's writ
ings he tell of the ship that found
herself" and in THE Fortune Hunter
we have the fascinating narrative OF d
youth who found himself. The youth
is like the ship-he had to nave MS
course laid straight before his career
hegan TO make substantial headway.
The story of Nat Duncan is one that IN
dramatic form, as written by Wlncheil
Smith. has attracted the attention OF
thousands of playgoers throughout the
country. AS a novel, written by Louis
Joseph Vance, it becomes a narrative
of profound appeal to the young ana
old and especially to those of US VINO
in our youth dwelt in a rural district
far enough removed from the metro
politan centers to be practically
world in itself and to itself. Usually
il is the country lad who ventures IN
to the great cities to seek fortune and
fame's favor. But here we find a down
IN date CITY youth, who, a failure at
everything he had undertaken, inVades
the rural districts to make Million
aire of himself That which befalls
him prompted great New York news
paper editor to say, Every American
should read this great story" for Ihe
Fortune Hunter" in spite of its enjoy
able humor, subtilely pointed by its
talented authors, teaches the vital les
sons of the need of charity and toler-
ance for the less fortunate of human
beings.

He says you only need the right
opening
And nobody knows where that is,
except my fortunate employers. It's
the back door going out for mine every
time. Oh, Harry's been a prince to
me. He's found me four or five jobs
with friends of his, like yourself. But
don't seem to last. You see, l was
brought up to be ornamental and ir-
regular rather than useful, to blow
about in motorcars and keep a valet
busy sixteen hours a day, and all that
sort of thing. My fathers failure
you know about that?"
Spaulding nodded. Duncan went on
gloomily, talking a great deal more
freely than he would have talked at
any other time-suffering, in fact, from
that species Of auto-hypnosis induced
by the sound of his own voice recount
ing his misfortunes which seems espe-
cially to affect a man down on his
luck.
That smash came when l was five
years out of college-Fd never thought
of turning my hand to anything in all
that time. I'd always had more coin

the address was Omaha"
Il didn't get that far. Fetch along
that suit case, will you please? I want
to put some clean things in it,"
Then you're not staying in town
overnight, Mr.. Duncan?"
Il don't know. I'm not staying here
anyway, Duncan switched on the
lights in his room. Put it on the bed
Robbins. I'll pack as quickly / can
I'm in a hurry"
Yes, sir; but hope there's nothing
wrong"
Then you lose," returned Duncan
grimly. "Everything's wrong" He
jerked viciously at an obstinate bureau
drawer and, when it yielded unexpect-
edly with the well known impishness
of the inanimate, dumped upon the
floor a tangled miscellany Of shirts
socks, gloves, collars and ties.
Didn't you like the business, sir?"
NO, | didn't like the business, and
it didn't like me. It's the same old
story, Robbins. I've lost my job again
that's ALL"
I'm very sorry, sir"
Thank you, but that's all right
I'm used to it,
And you're going to leave, sir?"
Il am, Robbins"
"I-may l take the liberty of hoping
it's to take another position?"
You may, but you lose a second
time. I've just made up my mind I'm
not going to hang around here any
longer, that's ALL"
But" Robbins ventured, lowering
about with exasperating solicitude;
but Mr.. Kellogg d never permit you
to leave in this way, sir"
Wrong again, Robbins" said Dun
can shortly, annoyed.
Yes, sir Very good, SIR" With the
instinct of the well trained servant
Robbins started to leave, but hesitated
He was really very much disturbed by
Duncans manner, which showed a
phase Of his character new in Robbins
experience of him. Ordinarily reverses
such as this had seemed merely to
serve to put Duncan on his mettle, to
infuse him with a determination to
try again and win out, whatever the
odds, and at such times he was accus-
toned to exhibit a mad irresponsibility
of wit and gaiety of spirit (whether II
were a mask or no) that only out
rivaled his high good humor, when
things Ostensibly were going well with
him.
Intermittently, between his spasms
Of employment he had been Kellogg S
guest for several years, not infrequent-
ly for months at a time, and so Rob-
bins had come to f"el a sort of proprie-
tary interest in the young man, second
only to the regard which he had for
his employer.
Beg pardon. sir" he advanced, hesi-
tant, but perhaps you're just feeling
bit blue. Won't YOU let me bring
YOU drop of sOmething?"
"Of course l WILL" said Duncan en-
phatically over his shoulder. And
get it now. will you, while I'm pack
ing? And, Robbins"
Sir"
only put "A little in it,"
"A little what, SIR"

slider the worth of money or how hard
it is to earn. Ny father saw to all
that. He seemed not to want me to
work; not that l hold that against
him. He'd an idea I'd turn out genius
of some sort or other, believe. Well,

wardrobe, expensive tastes, an imprac-
tical education-and not so much of

perhaps that was as well; l sought
jobs on my own. Did you ever keep
books in a fish market"
No" Spaulding's eyes twinkled be-
hind his large shiny glasses.
But what's the use of my boring
you?" Duncan made as if to rise, sud
denly remembering himself.
You're not. Go on"
Il didn't mean to. Mostly, l pre-
sumo. I've been laundering round an
explanation of Kellogg's kindness to
me. in my usual Intellectual way, but
l felt an explanation was due you, as
the latest to suffer through his mis-
placed interest in me-"

Spaulding shifted uneasil% in his

good by painting his shortcomings in

ate to the expense to be incurred; was
expected to result?
If the order detailing Adjutant Cen
eral Boyd for service as observer"
with the Camp Perry team was based
on the provision which authorizes the
commander inc chief (the governor)
to detail for special service, at state
expense, the heads of departments" on
his staff, why should not some one or
all of the other five heads of depart
ments on the governors staff have
been given similar details? Would
not their observations" have been
quite as Illuminating, quite as likely
to be Of practical value to the national
guardsmen Of the state, as those Of
General Boyd?
Supposing that the number of COM
missioned officers in the party, draw
ing the full pay of their rank, had not
been abnormally large, in the Camp
Perry team, would not the funds
team enough actual rifle practice to
make 1t a real contender in the ma
tional competition, rather than a joke?
Would not the team have done much
better work If they had been allowed
to spend on practice, at the Charles
ton range the only real range in the
state-some Of the money spent on
the suddenly planned "firings for rec
ord" held at Yorkville, Columbia and
Charleston?
Why was the disbursing officer,
Lieut.. Col. ]. r. Lindsay, ordered to
attend in person at the 'firings for
record?" Could he not have paid off
the men and officers serving there by
sending their pay checks to them by
mail or express, from his home sta
ton? Is not that the custom Of army
paymasters? Was II strictly neces-
sary that he should remain on duty at
each Of these encampments through
out the encampment period and then
pay himself, therefore, at the full rate
allowed to lieutenant colonel, be-
sides drawing mileage?
Why should not the accounts Of the
disbursing officer, Col. Lindsay, a
bonded official, be submitted to audit
on behalf Of the state, as a matter Of
comfy, even II the law does not re-
quire that he make to the state any
report Of his transactions? Is Ii not
reasonable that the state should have
some oversight over the disposition Of
the funds given to it by the Federal
government for the use Of its citizen
soldiers?
To what extent has the adjutant
general known, since March, 1909, the
true inwardness of the official acts
performed in his name and upon or
ders over his signature? AS a matter
Of fact, has not the assistant adjutant
general, Col. w. T. Brock, been the
real though not the nominal adjutant
general, during the period Of his titu-

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS"
Columbia Record Is Inauirins Into the
Matter of Military Expenditures.

w dtter OF WlIItdIy GNPS'SsSSS'
Following up an article, published
Monday in the Daily Record, In which
were given some of the inside facts
bearing upon the questions that mill
tiamen and the press had been asking,
i'm regard to the National Guard OF
South Carolina, and, concerning spe-
officially the disposition of funds avail
able to militiamen of this state for
rifle practice this year, 1t may not De
thought untimely to summarize here
without passing final judgment on
them-some of these queries, which
persons, conceiving themselves to have
at heart only the welfare of the SER
vice and the good name of the state,
are making; queries which, so far,
have as yet gone unanswered by those
presumed to be in position to reply:
Why was it that fifteen out of the
nineteen persons, who represented
Sauth Carolina at the Camp Perry ma
tional rifle competition in August,
were commissioned officers? Have the
enlisted men of the service so little
interest in craftsmanship as this might
be taken to indicate.
Where and when did Lieut.. Col.
John R. Lindsay of the First regiment
obtain such training as to qualify him
for the presumably highly specialized
work of coach" for the state rifle
team? When and where also did Lieut..
Col. VIM. T. Brock, assistant adjutant
general, qualify for service as spot
ter?" The militiamen concede to Major
A. H. SilcoX, of the Third regiment,
special qualifications for the position
of range officer, which relation he oc-
cupied to the team this year.
When Governor Ansel detailed Ad-
jutant General Boyd to attend the
Camp Perry shoot as observer" Gen
eral Boyd drawing from state funds,
while so engaged, the full service pay
of a brigadier general, in addition to
his regular salary as adjutant general,
