Thousands who suffer from back
ache and kidney complaint have tried
one remedy after another, finding only
temporary benefit. This is discoruag.

medicine that cures permanently and
there is plenty of proof right here in
Bryan.
Here is the testimony of one who
used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago,
and now states that the cure was
lasting.
John P. Stacey, Austin Street, Bryan,
Texas, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills
gave me splendid relief. When about
seventeen years old strained my back
and this caused kidney trouble. Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at EmmePs

helped me in every way. Whenever l

to obstruct the channels leading to
certain ports, of which Charleston was
one, with sunken vessels. The govern.
ment purchased sixteen ships that had

was assigned was the Kensington. The
aeet proceeded south under canvas

rendezvous at Tybee to Charleston.
A government tug was already there
to meet the feet and tow us to our re-

ships were towed into place on the
bar, and at a signal the crew pulled
the plugs and down would go the mas

ships formed barrier across tho

Tourist Tells Of His Experience In
Shopping District - shopkeepers
Betray No Eagerness 10 Show
,or Sell Their Wares.

Hong Kong,-Many phases Of life In
Hong Kong strike the visitor from the
western world as curious, IN Hong
Kong women work just like the men; (;
they drag huge loads harnessed like
horses, carry heavy weights strung
over their shoulders as yokels carry
milk cans in the country.
They stagger up the Peak for about
100 yards, when they lay down their
burden, 90 back, pick new lot up,
carry this up to the first dumping
place, then take the first load on a
few yards further, and so on. all un
der blazing sun. All the bricklaying
road mending, coaling, etc. is done
equally by both sexes, but perhaps the
most curious sight is to see a woman
straining at an oar or at the steerage
OF sampan.
The cosmopolitan aspect OF the place
tmpresses one. Walking down a street
one day with a Canadian, a visitor
noted casually an Australian on one
side. Just in front were a couple OF
Germans, a Parsee stood at the door
OF his shop, a Japanese girl followed
by two Portuguese boys passed. and
a moment later riokshaw went by in
which sat a Spanish maiden.
There were, of course. Chinese scat.
tered all over the place as usual, so
that there were within a hundred
yards Of one another at least nine ma
ttonalities represented II would be
hard to name a country which could
not produce its type in Hong Kong.
1t is an interesting experience TO go
shopping in the Chinese quarters in
Hong Kong. The other day a friend
wanted a piece Of blackwood furniture
for a wedding present, and we ran
sacked some of the more likely shops
to find It and then interviewed the pro
prietors.

tobacco, or perhaps opium, and allow
you to pull about the articles exposed

speak practically no English, but they
usually have a small son who has been
educated at Queens college in Hong
