A little backache at first. Daily in
creasing till the back is lame and
weak. Urinary disorders quickly fol-
low; Diabetes and finally Bright's
disease. This is the downward course
OF kidney ills. Don't take this
course. Follow the advise of a
Princeton citizen.
Mrs. Sarah Veal, of Princeton,
Minn., says: II received more bene-
fit from Doan's Kidney Pills than
from any other kidney medicine
ever used. My back ached and when
I got up in the morning, I felt more
tired than when I went to bed. I was
also annoyed by kidney weakness
and my back ached constantly. When
I used Doan's Kidney Pills, these diff
ficulties disappeared and I have since
enjoyed much better heatlh."

PREACHER CROSSED LEGS.

Account Of His Hair.
Some queer reasons are given by
congregations for refusing to ''call'
certain ministers, according to the re-
port Of the pastoral supply committee
of the New York state convention of
Congregationalists.
One candidate was objected to by a
congregation because he crossed his
legs in the pulpit; another congregation
objected to the style in which a min
lister combed his hair; another reject
ed candidate because HE walked up
the center aisle as though he were self
satisfed.''
The committee says that it is owing
to the inadequacy Of salaries that it
has been impossible to provide pas
tors for more than 100 churches. The
average salary in the vacant pastorates
Is $500 year, and the high cost of liv-
ing makes it impossible even for a
bachelor preacher to live within the in
come, according to the committee.

70 show the courts disapproval Of
marrying on two hours acquaintance
Judge Monroe of Los Angeles, CAL,
announced that he would withhold the
decree of annulment of the marriage

Marten, who lives in Pomona, was a
member Of the board of supervisors
that built the present courthouse, has
a big fortune and is known as the
millionaire bee king" In August,
1910, he subscribed for matrimonial
paper. One of the advertisements
struck his fancy. 1t read:
''Am a farmers daughter, aged thir-
ty-seven, American, Presby terrain, kind
hearted and loving, five feet six,

TELEPHONES FOR RANGERS.
Adopted as an Aid to Fighting Forest
Fires,

Rangers in the national forests will
be supplied with portable telephone
sets with a special flexible wire which
can be easily and quickly run along
the ground to isolated places in the
forests. The telephones will be Of use
in summoning help to prevent a repe-
tition of the disastrous CONGREGATIONS
in the northwest Of last August.
The adoption of these telephones is
the result Of experiments made since
last summer with sets similar to those
used by the signal corps.
Prevention of large fires has been
furthered since last year through
frightening trails and extending per-
manent telephone lines. When the fire
season arrives an extra force of ran
gers will protect the isolated parts Of
the forests, laying their telephone lines
along the ground as they go. Metal
boxes containing fire fighting imple-
ments, together with supply of food,
have also been distributed along the
many trials where they will be easy
of access.

Vale Expedition Will Invade the Jun
giles Of Peru.
The Yale scientific expedition to
Peru, recently authorized by the uni
versity corporation, will leave New
York June 8. There will be six men
in the party, three of them members
Of the Yale faculty, headed by Dr.
Hiram Bingham.
Ten years ago Professor Bingham
visited Choqquequira, one of the "lost
cities" Of the Incas-lost because they
have been swallowed up in jungles.
He hopes on this expedition to find
more Of these cities.
The work before the expedition is
divided into three parts. There is the
archa Biological work, of which the
problem is how far the Incas held
sway. Then there is the pathological
problem, the study Of the diseases of
the region. Lastly the scientists will
make detailed survey of section of
Peru, IAN all round reconnaissance of
the country, archaeologically, geolog-
ically, biologically and geographically"
The expedition will visit Mount Coro-
puma, which some biologists say is the
highest mountain in the Americas.
By agreement with the Peruvian
government any buried treasure which
the expedition finds will be turned over
to the authorities.

MEMORIAL TO AUTHOR
OF "H0ME, SWEET HOME"
Union College Builds Gateway In
Honor Of John Howard Payne.

. The memorial to John Howard
Payne, author Of Clone, Sweet
Home" now being erected on the cam
pus Of Union college, Schenectady, N.
Y, where he spent his student DAYS
something over 100 years ago, will
be dedicated on June 13. DR.. George
Pierce Baker, professor of dramatic
literature at Harvard university, will
deliver the chief address.
The memorial is gateway, which is
being built at the entrance to Library
lane, one Of the most attractive road
ways on the campus. It will be ninety
feet in width, and the pylones will be
five in number. The central pylon be-
tween the two driveways will be eight
cen feet in height. On the outer face
Of this central pylon will be a niche
containing bust of the poet, and on
the inner face will be inscribed upon
a bronze tablet the simple words of
the song that probably is more widely
sung and more loved than any other
song in the world.
John Howard Payne was born in
New York city in 1871, but most Of his
boyhood was spent at East Hampton,
Long Island, and later at Boston. He
entered Union college at the age OF
thirteen, and after brilliant but rath-
er cratic course he was obliged to re-
turn home on account Of the death OF
his mother.
In 1912 he was appointed consul at
Tunis. There he died in 1852, attend
ed by two Sisters of Charity and a
Mohammedan manservant. In 1883,
through the influence Of President Ar.
thur, himself Union alumnus,
Payne's body was brought to his ma.
tive country and reinforced at Wash
ington.
Although there have been many er-
rors and misconceptions in the popular
stories that Payne was a tramp and a
pauper, it is true that during his wan
dering life he never had a real home
after he left college. It is eminently
fitting, therefore, that the college
which was the last home Of the author
of ''Home, Sweet Home" should hon
or his memory.

Judge Mccormick Of the Los Angeles
superior court. america has too
high ideals to have the paternity: Of
a gambling game placed against it's

to be so maligned. Society has no use
for a gambler, and poker is not Amer
lean in any sense
These remarks were called out by
references made by the attorney for
Roy Woodstock, accused Of giving a
worthless check In payment for losses
at poker. The attorney referred to the
game as characteristic Of America and
urged that the youth should not be
convicted because he had been engag-
ed in a national pastime and would
make good the check.

MORE PAY FOR
ARMY AV|AT0RS
Enlistment OF 100 Special 0p-
orators Also Contemplated.
RESULT OF KELLY'S DEATH,

In the Armies Of Europe Officers De-
tailed to Aviation Duty Are Given 10
Per Cent Extra Pay-Special Act of
Congress Necessary.
Increased pay for army aviators is
likely to be one outcome Of the acct
dent at San Antonio, Tex, that result
ed in the death of Lieutenant G. B. NJ.
Kelly Of the flying squad. This is
matter that has been settled in the
armies Of Europe, where aviation is
ranked as extra hazardous duty and
the officers who have been trained in
aviation are given 10 per cent extra
pay so long as they are on that detail.
No provision has been made in the
American army for any special COM
pensation to aviation officers, notwith-
standing which there are many more
applications on file for detail to the fly
ing squad than can possibly be filed.
1T will take a special act of congress
to give the increased pay, but the Sec
rotary Of war has the matter under
consideration, and if a satisfactory bill
is drawn it will be presented to con-
gress.
If this is done there probably will
be presented at the same time a re-
quest that was incorporated in the
last army appropriation bill, but which
was stricken out. It was for the en-
listment Of 100 special aviators at $500
month. This, it is conceded, does
not sound very large compared to the
sums that individual aviators have
earned with machines in the past two
years. Still, compared with the regu-
lar enlistment pay Of $13 a month it
is very satisfactory wages, especially
as it will include food, clothes and
quarters or communication for the
same
At present foreign service pay is the
only extra pay that a soldier draws in
the army. This is 10 per cent Of his
regular pay, and enlistment served out
side the mainland counts as double
time on the total Of thirty years neces-
sary for retirement. This inducement
is enough to make the foreign service
detail eagerly sought, as an enlisted
man, If he serves ten years in this
country and ten years abroad, is eli
gible for retirement on three-quarters
pay and is then at an age when,
with his army training and a good
conduct record behind him, he can al
ways get good job in addition to his
retired pay. With the same induce
ments applying to aviators, in addition
to the increased pay, it is likely that
there will be a rush for the places.
At present there is no intention of
training anything but commissioned
officers as aviators, and there are
enough Of the younger officers who are
anxious for the detail. There are but
four qualified aviators in the army,
but it is intended soon to increase the
number considerably.

FLY PAPER MAN
WOULD. BE MAYOR
Inventor Of Sticky Sheets IS
Candidate In Pasadena, Cal.
M|LL|0NA|RES AGAINST HIM

He Is Very Rich, but His Wealth and
influence Are Always to Be Found on
the Side of tho Masses Ha
Made His Money.
Pasadena, CAL, said to be the home
OF more millionaires than any city of
it's size in the world, has a candidate
for It's next mayor who is one Of it's
kind in William Thum, who gained
fame and fortune by inventing sticky
fly paper.
The rise of Thum Bros. in the field
Of finance reads like a fairy tale.
A few years ago the three brothers.
William. Ferdinand and Oscar, de-
scendants Of German-Jewish parents.
ran a little drug store in Grand Rap
Ids, Mich. One day an old man who
spent much time in the Thum drug
store suggested the idea Of some kind
Of sticky paper which would not dry in
the sun and which would hold Madam
Fly when caught until she died.
The idea appealed to the young
Thums. They shut themselves in their
laboratory for months and expert
mented until they found a solution Of
the problem. 1t worked to perfection,
and they had it patented. 1t took like
wildfre, and the Thums began to
make money faster than they ever
dreamed money could be made out
side Of mint.
Sold His Invention.
Finally they gave their patents over
to firm of manufacturers, reserving
handsome royalty, and moved to
Pasadena. William and Ferdinand
each bought a modest home in Column
bia street, and there they lived side
by side, aiding their respective wives
in the housework, unassisted and I'M
annoyed by any servant
But this life grew little slow for
William. For some time he has been
trying to enliven it bit by studying
civic problems. He believes that every
public utility, including railroads, ex-
presses and telegraphs, should be own
ed by the municipality or state. He
is an ardent supporter of woman suf-
frage
Nearly everybody in Pasadena has
some kind of church connections So
strong is the church sentiment that it
must be reckoned with in all political
campaigns. When Mr. Thums name
was proposed as candidate for
mayor instantly the church people
asked, "What are his church affilia-
Hons?" This was a stickler for his
champions.
No Churchman.
Finally Mr.. Thumb himself was ask
ed about it. WELL" he said, II don't
go to church myself. but my wife and
children do. I stay at home and cook
the Sunday dinner while they go to
church." The church people now are
divided as to whether his religion
ought to take him to heaven or to the
mayors chair-or anywhere.
The mayoralty war is on. For once
the millionaires are not sticking to-
gether, for Mr.. Thum. a man of many
millions, is not with them. He is with
the masses" Everything the million
aires propose he opposes. They have
dubbed him "Sore Thumb" because be
always is in the way.

The presence of so many Democrats

the leaders. Some of them did confer

over the state were discussed, but be-
yond this nothing else was done. The
Eberhart machine would like to have
some advance information on the DOS
sible Democratic nominee for gov
ernor, but they are likely to be dis
appointed. l have the word of Mr..
Lynch that no one has been consid-

trotted out at the right time. And in
the words of Mr.. Lynch, "he will be
