Troubles. A Newport News Citi-
zen Shows How to Cure

urinary trouble sets in they think II
will soon correct Itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That is just where
the danger lies You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Brights disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It
cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Newport
News people testify to permanent
cures.

street. Newport News, Va, says:
For two years my back was very
lame and / could not do any STOPPING.
but what pains would dart through
my loins The kidney secretions
passed irreguIsrly and annoyed NE
greatly. Last winter / began taking
Doan's Kidney Pills. procured from
Klor's Drug Store. and they brought

Our Mexican neighbors intend to de-
vote the entire month of September to a
grand celebration OF the centennial an-
niverssry OF the independence OF their
country and the plans indicate that Il WIN
be one OF the most imposing affairs OF the
kind ever undertaken anywhere. One ar
rangement proposed by the governor OF
the federal district in which the City OF
Mexico is situated is particularly novel.
Tho governor Is DESTROYS that his consti-
tuents should present a neat appearance,
and has therefore provided facilities
whereby every citizen may obtain shave
and bath free Of cost whenever he wants
them any time during tho entire month.
The originator Of this unique project
is a benefaotor. not a mere dreamer. lie
has already spent a vast sum of his own
money to provide free night schools--mov-
ing picture shows and a splendid park for
the people His latest enterprise indicates
that while recognizing that eternal vigil
lance may be the price Of liberty, he also
regards cleanliness as one ot the real
guarantees Of its perpetuity.

months ago notices we're posted In this

on the tracks and a number OF arrests
served to make the notices observed.
NOW employees while on duty will be re-
quired TO use other means Of reaching
their destinations than BY walking on
the roabbed.

When a man has a wife he assumes
a certain amount OF responsibility for
her and fer her happiness He promises
TO love and cherish her, and out OF these
would naturally spring sense Of re-

his wife to a New Jersey community

The battleship South Carolina, which
with her mate, the Michigan, repre-
sents the first of our all big gun type,
has been in commission less than
three months and yet in this brief
period her record surpasses the high
est expectations OF the designers and
builders In a forced draught triai
conducted at the beginning of May
an average speed Of 1852 knots was
attained-that is something more
than one knot in excess Of tho contract
trial speed-and on the twenty four
hours endurance run the contract speed
was without undue forcing bettered by
1.S6 knots.
Nor is her preliminary target prac-
tice less satisfactory In the test just
completed the South Carolina estab-
lished what is claimed to be new
world record. The two l2-inch guns
of the forward turret made, under SER
vice conditions, sixteen hits out of six
teen shots i'm four minutes and fifty
seconds, or an average placing of $50
pounds OF metal on the target every
1853 seconds. when II is remembered
that the ship is. at the most. only
just shaken down." this achievement
is tribute both 20 the skill of the
personnel and 10 the efficiency Of our
gunnery system.

that the Y. W. c. A, with equally high
ideals and offers Of educational oppor-

achieved the success Of the Y. NJ. G. A..
because OF the atmosphere OF supcrvi-
sion which is intolerable to a woman Of

too strongly when she says that the

made to feel that she is person OF
doubtful character and is continually put
on the defensive to prove her respecta-
