The Proof Is In Richmond Almost at
Your Door.
The public statement of a Richmond
citizen is in itself strong proof for
Richmond people, but confirmation
strengthens the evidence.
Here is a Richmond citizen that tes-
titled years ago that Doan's Kidney
Pills relieved sick kidneys and now
states the cure was permanent. Can
any sufferer from kidney ills ask bet
ter proof? You can Investigate. The
case is right at home.
Edgar S. Mote, mail carrier, "a S.

"Doan's Kidney Pills brought such
good results in my case several years
ago that / gave public statement re-
commencing them. For a long time |

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation Of the Difference Be-
tween Domestic sA@ndards Now
and Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting presentation OF
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard Of young married
women Of today and those of the Fast
generation. How did the women Of
the middle class of a generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following is the answer
quoted from Companion editorial:
They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards. and they knew much less
about the science Of bringing up chill
aren. They had no special style to
keep up; gave the children a weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses. but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; in short. every
woman did only what she could. and
her friends made 1t easier for her by
doing likewise"

AUTO THROUGH \
ice; five DEAD
Driver Lost Control of His
Machine and 1t Skidded
Over Embankment.
RETURNING FROM A. JOY RIDE
Clothing Had to Be Cut Away from
the Only Person Who
Survived the
Ordeal.

Trenton, N. j., Jan. 15.-Five per.
sons were drowned early today when
a large touring automobile belonging
to Frederick Foster skidded on the
river road near Brookville and went
over an embankment, crashing
through the ice into the water.
Only One Escapes.
With Foster, who was driving the
machine, were Donald Reed, son of
former Supreme Court Justice Alfred
Reed; Chester A. Van Cleef and three
young women. Foster was the only
one who escaped.
The party had been on joy ride
and were returning to Trenton. The
machine was going at a fast pace,
and in rounding curve the wheels
skidded on the snow and Foster
lost control.
Went Mile for Help.
Foster managed to reach the
bank of the water power reservoir,
and finding that all the others of
the party had disappeared beneath
the ice, ran to the home of Louis
Smith, a mile and half away, and
gave the alarm.
His clothing was frozen to his
body when he reached Smith s
home and it was necessary to cut II
away.

HARDSHIP ON LAKES
Forty Of Crew of Steamer Indi-
ana Badly Frozen
Suffering Passengers Declare They
Did Not Expect To Reach
Port Alive.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-With 40 members
of the crew of so suffering with frozen
noses, ears and fingers, the steamship
Indiana of the Goodrich Transporta-
tion company, docked last night at Z
o'clock after being frozen in the lake
three miles of Edgewater.
Despite their suffering every EN-.
ploye, from Captain Wilson down to
the lowliest deckhand, was ordered to
tell nothing or lose his job, by the
officials of the company.
All of the passengers declare that
they did not expect. to reach port alive
and told a story of suffering rivaling
such as are related of the Arctic re
gions.
In addition to binding all employees
to secrecy, the Goodrich Transports
tion company stationed special Off
GERS on their dock at the foot oi
Water street and forcibly elected rela
tives and friends of the passengers.
From these passengers it was learn
ed that First Mate D. ]. Mccarthy
nearly lost his life Saturday after
noon when he fell through crevice
in the ice and was rescued when sub
merged to his neck in Icy water.
George Wilson, deckhand, is de
clared to have been one of the worst
sufferers, but at least two score of TIE
crew were more or less frost-bitten as
the result Of four days hard work
chopping ice away from the sides Of
the boat and frequently slipping into
the icy water.

Why He Couldn't 81. Down.

Harry, aged six, is an orphan; but
an indulgent grandmother and kind
maiden aunt have taken care Of him.
The first pair of knickerbockers were
secured recently, and 1t was a proud
moment for the boy when his aunt
put them on him on Sunday morning
and he was permitted to go to church
with his grandmother. Naturally
maiden aunts know very little about
the arrangement Of knickerbockers.
and there was suspicious fullness in
front and an equally mystifying tight
ness in the back to be observed. as
the little chap trudged happily along.
In church Harry sat down, but did
not appear comfortable and stood up.
Harry, sit down. whispered his
grandmother. He obediently climbed
back on the seat, but soon slipped OF
again. Harry, you must sit down"
Grandma, can't. MY pants is chok-
ing me-" She looked more closely
than her dim sight had before permit
ted, and discovered the new little
knickerbocaers were on hind side be-
fcre. Harry stood up during the re-
mainder of the service.

New York, Jan. 15.-The bodies of
two more fire victims were discovered
among the ice-covered ruins of the
Equitable Life Assurance society's
building, which was completely de-
stroyed by fire recently at loss of
$2O,o00,00O.
The bodies were those of William

Campion's body was uncovered after
the fremen, in constant danger from

thirty feet of ice. The body was
pressed close against the steel bars,

help and was untouched by the flames.

the fire reached the Mercantile vaults.
Nieder's body lay about 80 feet from
the body of Campion, but the inter-

A HOld-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, in sea-
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas J. Webb,
Of Chicago, charged that there is in existence q
coffee combine which Is ''the most monstrous inn
position in the history of human commerce."
There is very slight exaggeration about this
statement. It comes very close to being literally
true. There Is coffee combine in Brazil from
which country comes the bulk Of the coffee used
In the United States, which is backed by the gov
eminent of Brazil and financed by it, which com-s
pels American consumers, as Mr.. Webb said, ''to
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists"
The worst thing about this is that the consum-
ers of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cinch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced as an imposition upon the people:
as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty uponI
coffee up to the full amount of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
merly went into the treasury Of the United States
was diverted to the treasury of Brazil The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
same old price.
But this was only the commencement The
"'valorization" plan was evolved in Brazil
Through this plan the government, using the rev.
enues derived from the export duties for the pur-
poses takes all of the surplus crop in season Of
large yields and holds it off the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands Of the
market and permitting the planters to receive
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee than does the rest Of the world. We are the
best customers Of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from us. Now Brazil is promoting, financing and
maintaining trust designed, and working effect
lively for the purpose, to compel American con-
sumers to pay an exOrbitant price for the coffee
they use What is the remedy?-SeGhk PostIA-
