The Proof Is in Bryan Almost at
Your Door.
The public statement Of Bryan
citizen is in itself strong proof for
Bryan people, but confirmation
strengthens the evidence.
Here is Bryan citizen who testi-
fed 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.
P. j. vytopil, COS Moseley Street
Bryan, Texas, says: my back ached
and | found it difficult to remain on
my feet for any length of time AT
night my rest was broken as the re-
suit of weak kidneys and | felt miser'
able. A short use of Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured at Emmels drug store,
cured me and | have had no kidney
trouble since. | am willing to let
others know of the merit of Doan's
Kidney Pills"
The above statement was given May
20, 1908, and when Mr.. Vytopil was
interviewed on December Is, 1911, he
said: 81 confirm the statement gave

Tho Lotus Flower.

Poets and novelists alike have given
mythical texture and color to the lotus.
The elder Dumas spoke Of lotus flow
er pure white and with petals as deli.
cate as fine muslin" Nor did the an
clients treat the matter with more
truth. Herodotus spoke Of the lotus
as of plant which habitually de.
scended below the surface Of the wa
ter at sunset to return to view only
with the temperance of the sun. The
lotus known to modern man goes be-
low the surface Of the water. like all
nymphaeas. when its beauty and its
freshness have passed and when the
time has come to ripen its seed pod.
Then by the law Of life II closes its
corolla and goes away from the air
and the sunshine down into the water
to prepare for the future of its family.
1t goes at the time when the sun sets,
but 1t does not reappear. When 1t
goes down as an individual 1t is gone
forever. The petals described by Du-
mas as being las white as the SHOWS
of Himalaya" are not pure white, nor
can anything be called with justice
las white rs the lotus flower" be-
cause lotus flower may be red or

CAMORRA AssAs|As
TO CO FREE
One o. the Most Famous Trials OF
Modern Times Drawing
to a Close.

viterbo, Italy, Feb. 13.-With the
resumption of arguments in the Cam
ORA trial today it Is becoming more
than evident that the state has failed
to prove its case, and practically ev-
erybody connected with the famous
trial expects that the accused men will
be acquitted.
That the men on trial were connect
ed with the Camorrists there is little
doubt, but there has been total abb
sence of direct evidence to prove that
any of them had any connection with
the Cuoccolo murder. Either the de-
PENDANTS are innocent, at least of that
particular crime, or have covered their
tracks so cunningly that the govern
ment has been unable, with all its re-
sources, to build up case in which
the element of reasonable doubt OF
guilt does not enter.
The whole prosecution depends
largely on the testimony of Abbate-
maggie, the informer who turned
states evidence, and the defense has
cast grave doubt on his sanity. The
personal lawyer for Abbatemaggio, so
certain is he that the alleged Canon
rists will be freed, has already made
ARRANGEMENTS for spiriting his client
away to a secluded village, and in this
plan will be assisted by the agents OF
the government. Abbatemaggio, his
counsel declares, will certainly be
killed in case the accused men are
acquitted unless he can be securely
hidden.
