Only 20 Miles From Titanic.

Boston, April 23.-The Leyland
steamer Californian was less than 20
miles from the ill-fated White Star
liner Titanic, when the latter found
cred on the morning of April Is. Capt,
Lord, of the Californian, said tonight
that had he known of the Titanic's
plight, all the latter's passengers
could have been saved. That his ship
was the steamer reported to have
passed within five miles of the sink
ing liner and to have disregarded sig
nails for help, Capt. Lord denied posi-
lively.
81 figure that we were from II to 20
miles distant from the Titanic that
night" said he.
about 1890 that Sunday night we
steamed into an immense ice field
said Capt Lord, "and Immediately, as
a matter of safety, our engines were
shut down to wait for daylight. With
the engines stopped, the wireless was,
of course, not working, so we heard
nothing of the Titanic's plight until
the next morning. Then the news
came in a message from the Virgin
ian. On receipt of the message we
started Immediately for the scene of
the disaster"

Took Prompt Action.

Capt. Moore said that as soon as he
started toward the Titanic he called
all hands on deck and Immediately
put them in readiness for service.
When he turned his ship and rushed
back among immense ice fields he
said he was doing so at great risk,
for he had on board 1,461 passengers
besides his crew. Nevertheless, he
AYERS that he promptly answered the
call for help.
Furthermore" he said, what do
the people who were on board my
steamer know of what 1 was doing or
where 1 was going? How could they
tell in what direction I was sailing?
1t was past midnight and they were
below. The statement is absurd.
Leaving humanity out of the question,
do you not think that would have lik-
ed to have been the lucky one to pick
up those people?"

Captains Indignant Denial

ST. John, N. B., April 24.-The ru-
NOR that the steamer Mount Temple
was within five miles of the Titanic
when she sank and without needing
signals of distress steamed away, is
Indignantly denied by Capt. Moore,
who was in command of the vessel.
His statement tonight is as follows:
eve received wireless message
after midnight Sunday from the Ti-
tanic stating that she had struck an
iceberg and to come at once. We
turned about at 1890 o'clock and
steamed back to the position given us,
arriving there at 4.3O. We encounter
ed so much ice, however, that we stop
ped until daylight. We cruised about
but could not see any sign of the ship.
about 6 a. M, on the other side of
an immense field of ice, studded thick
ly with bergs, We saw the Carpathia.
We also saw the California, which was
to the northward of us, steaming west,
then coming down to the southward
and she met us. She did not commu-
nicate anything. At S.45 o'clock, ships
time, we received a general message
that the Carpathia had picked up 20
boats. We asked if they wanted as
sistance but got no reply. Shortly af-
terward we received another general
message stating nothing more can be
done, no need to stand by. We then
left the scene and proceeded on our

There are two ways to tell whether you
have weak kidneys.
The first is through the pains in the back
and other outward signs. The second Is
by examination of the kidney secretions.
That is why physicians make such a
careful examination when you apply for
insurance, and if there is any sign of kid
ney trouble you are surely rejected.
Kidney disease is so dangerous that it
Is a bad mistake to overlook or neglect it,
and if pain in the back, recurring head
aches, or a fretful nervous, tired condition
makes o suspect some kidney trouble,
take the trouble to watch the kidney secre-
tons. Look for any Of the following
signs:
More or less than three md one half
pints passed daily.
Too dark or too pale q color.
Passages too frequent, profuse. or-much
reduced. or scaldins and painful.
sandy. gritty or cloudy settings.
Fat or oily-lookins layer which gathers
or . jelly-like thfckenin6.
Stainins OF the linen or bad odor.
Temporary changes may occur for q time
from things eaten, but il the changed ap-
pearance continues, your kidneys are out
Of order and need help. Neglect may prove
serious.

late the kidney secretions, stimulate and
heal sick kidneys, and thereby drive away

Scarcely a day passes without a rec
ord in the press Of some sad fatality,
of which a helpless child Is generally
the victim, due to clothing made Of
f~iannelette catching fire. And yet no
steps have been taken to decrease the
heavy annual death roll from this
cause. In a pamphlet with the above
title the National League for Physical
Education and Improvement of Eng
land makes out a strong case for legis-
lation, basing Its facts On evidence
made by and on an independ-
ent investigation recently carried on at
the leagues instigation by the Lancet.
Deaths from burning. especially among
children, are shown to be on the in
crease, and 1t is computed that of these
deaths no less than 1000 a year in the
United Kingdom may be ascribed to
the fact OF the victim having been
clothed in ordinary fiannelette. Nor is
this surprising, says the journal Of tho
American Medical association, when
one realizes that If a chiids flannel
cite garment becomes ignited that child
is doomed IL no person arrives within
about three seconds to i've 1t. Some
manufacturers appear to be alive to
the dangerous nature of fiannelette and
are trying to remedy matters by max
ing 1t with a short close nap. But even
this is not as trustworthy in regard
to safety from fire as fiannelette which
has been treated by a lasting chemical,
~fireproofing process. The danger to
the public lies in the fact that not only
Is hannelette still sold at large with no
p~retensions to bring non -inflammable,
but fannelette. Is also sold which
wrongly claims to be non-infiammablc.

PLAIN P%ETTICOATS.

Undergarments Of all kinds are re-
duced to a minimum of material and
even of trimming this season. Even
the laces are often put on fiat and the
embroideries follow long, slender lines
so far as possible. Frills, %ruffles, puffs
with anything like fullness n all that
go with them are quite out of the run.
The slashed petticoat is the natural
result Of the style, for a skirt as mar
row as the plaintly fitted petticoat de-
manded this seaso must have some
remedial feature whereby the living and
moving figure which is to wear It may
go through such necessary movements
as sitting down, standing up and step
ping up on flights Of stairs or into We
hicles, public and private. The next
step in the evolution Of scanty, cling
ing, straight up n down styles must
be the subduing Of joints n muscles
in living ONE so that there will be
no movement whatever. Then stove
pipe effects can be run to the limit
for figures that have actual dimensions.
II Lace is put on with any fullness at
all, the fullness Is very scanty and the
lac is without a suggestion OK starch
or natural dressing.

THE SAFE LAXATIVE
FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE

Most elderly people are more or
less troubled with a chronic, per-
sistent constipation, due largely to
lack of sufficient exercise. They *
perience difficulty in ~digesting even
light food, with a consequent belching
of stomach gases, drowsiness after
eating, headache and a feeling of lassi-
tude and general discomfort.
Doctors advise against cathartics and
violent purgatives of every kind, rec
omrlending a mild, gentle laxative
tonic, like DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin,
to effect relief without disturbing the
entire system.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the
perfect laxative, easy in action, GER
tain in effect and, withal, pleasant to
the taste. 1t possesses tonic proper
ties that strengthen. the stomach, liver
and bowels and Is a remedy that has
been for years the great standby in
thousands of families, and should be
in every family medicine chest. 1t is
equally rs valuable for children as for
older people.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and $1.0O
bottles. If you have tried it
send your name and address to DR.. W..
B. Caldwell, 201 Washington ST., Mon
ticello, Ill, and he will be very glad to
send a sample bottle for trial.

BUTTON BOOTS FOR STREET.

Slippers n pumps for street wear
have quite gone out Of style, and one
feels grateful that one healthful fash
ion at least has been introduced. The
buttoned boots worn with velvet suits
and other dressy costumes are, how
ever, quite as dainty as slippers ever
pretended to be. Some Of these boots
are made of satin and with their thin
soles, trim lines and high heels, make
the foot o fairylike. Other boots are
OF patent leather with tops of suede
or satin, and for ordinary afternoon
wear there are we'll cut buttoned boots
Of dull calf vamps Of stitched patent
leather. With her velvet costume the
smart woman may wear white glace
gloves, though just now very pale vel
low suede or doeskin gloves are con-
sidered more distinctive.

Yet It is a leakage that can easily be
stopped IL the housewife will only pay a

economy in buying the cheap "Blg Can"
Baking Powders. These Baking Powders
are not always uniform. and sometimes
produce failures in the baking, and the
result 10 that more IL lost In one or two
Spoiled bakinss than you spend on bak-
ing powder in the whole year. The cheap

avoided.
On the other hand. many housewives
feel that a baking powder is of no value
unless they pay 30 cents q pound for it
the price charged for the high priced

the best baking powder that can be made
can be sold for &c. per pound II the man
