There is Heap of Solace in Being Able to Depend Upon a WelI-Earned Reputation.

&NCPub6IAOuo
 For months Press readers have been the constant expression of praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read about the good work they have done in this locality. What other remedy ever produced such convincing proof of merit? aA
 James Mallon, Fox Hill, Rockville, Conn.,, says: ''You may continue to use my recommendation of Doan' s Kidney Pills given for publication in 1906. I can only add that kidney trouble has never bothered me since used this remedy. Doan's Kidney Pills are entitled to the full credit for my cure. I had kidney trouble and backache. The pains in my Joins were so severe that was hardly able to work; in fact, on several occasions I was obliged to lay off. It was diffi- cult for me to stoop. When I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills I obtained supply and it did not take them long to relieve my trouble ''

men-fOT OnIVerSdl Geace.
New York, Feb. 22.-Presi-
dent Taft, making what is his
final public appearance outside
of Washington before retiring
from the White House, spent
one of the most eventful days
he has ever passed in this city.
Arriving here from Washing
ton in time for breakfast, the
President was taken here and
there about the city by an auto
mobile and tugboat, attending
several luncheons as guest Of
honor, and retired late tonight,
planning to return to Washing
ton tomorrow afternoon. Dur
ing the day he broke ground for
an Indian monument overlook
ing the harbor, dedicated a
lighthouse" settlement for the
blind, after watching sightless
children drill, attended a pri-
vate reception Of the Sons of
the Revolution at the tavern,
where Washington read his
farewell address and tonight
spoke at a dinner of the Ameri-
can Peace and Arbitration
League, which presented him
with a gold medai in recognition
of his efforts in behalf of uni
versal peace.
INDIAN WARRIOR STATUE.
A band of Indian chiefs from
Western reservations watched
their great white father" over
turn a patch of earth with
spade and at the spot where
60-foot statue of an Indian
warrior, the North American
Indian memorial will arise, at
Fort Wadsworth.
The red men" signed an oath
of allegiance to the United
States after President Taft, in
a brief speech, referred to the
North American Indian as
force with great and immedi-
ate and direct influence upon the
settlement and development of
this country by the white
faces"
The lighthouse" which the
President dedicated, is the new
club building of the New York
Association for the Blind in
East Fifty-ninth street, of
which he lald the cornerstone a
year ago. Miss Helen Keller sat

CHESTER BOYS IN EARNEST
Corn Club Starts Out With
Glowing Prospects for 1913.

Chester, Feb. 23.-The Ches-
ter County Boys Corn Club was
successfully reorganized Friday
for the 1913 campaign, and if
the enthusiasm displayed by the
boys is any indication, this
years results are going to be
something of which not only the
boys, but the entire county, will
be proud. Assembling at the
court house at l o'clock, the
meeting was called to order by
County Superintendent of Edu-
cation w. ID. Knox, and after a
few remarks by Mr.. Knox and
Mr.. r. l.. Cunningham, county
farm agent, there was an in
tereSting address of some
length by Mr.. w. R. Elliott of
Winnsboro, district agent for
the cooperative demonstration
work.
Mr.. Elliott's address dealt
with some of the problems that
the farmer of today is called
upon to confront, and contained
much interesting advice for the
boys. He also talked about the
work that the boys are doing in
the corn clubs, and eXhorted
one and all to do the best work
possible, stimulated not only bv
the hope of the rewards offer
ed, but also by the improve
ment that will come to one and
all from entering into a contest
OF this kind, and being guided
by the directions and instruc-
tlons sent out from the agricul-
tural department at Washing
ton.

81 AM NOT A SUFFRAGIST."
Vice President-E Elects Wife De-

Indianapolis, Feb. 21.-Vice
President-elect and Mrs. Thom-
as r. Marshill returned to their
home here today, after spending
two-months' vacation in Ari-
IONA, visiting the parents of
Mrs. Marshall. They will de-
part next Wednesday for Wash
ington, where he has already
engaged apartments for his
four-year stay in the capital.
The Marshalls became busy
as soon as they arrived. The
next Vice President immedi-
ately started work on his inau-
gural address and Mrs. Mar
shall, donning a gingham apron
and a dust cap, superintended
packing of their furniture.
Mr.. Marshill discussed freely
the Mexican situation. He said
from what he learned in the
Southwest he personally was
opposed to intervention by the
United States. He SAID he
wished to emphasize that this
was just his opinion as an indi-
vidual.
Mrs. Marshall, whose attitude
on the suffrage question has
caused considerable discussion
in Washington, declared today
that she was not a suffragist.
81 am not a suffragist," she
said. Il made that statement
when | first came to Indianap-
oils four years ago, and l see no
reason for changing my opin-
ion"
She then gave some orders
regarding the packing of the
furniture and declined to dis
cuss the subject further.

quent tributes to the brilliancy,
charm and character of the late
Representative George S. Le-
gare of the first district of South
Carolina, were paid by his col
leagues at a special memorial
session of the house today. The
note Of sincerity which ran
through all the testimonials of
grief at the young Charleston
ian'S loss and through all of the
acknowledgements of his re-
markable gifts of heart and
mind, was unmistakable in its
depth and genuineness. Many
friends of the late member sat
in the galleries, while the eu-
logies were being delivered.
Representative d. f. Finley
occupied the chair during the
memorial addresses until all had
spoken but himself, his own eff
fort being particularly strong.
Mr.. Finley declared that George
Legare was the most generally
popular man the city of Char
lesion has produced since the
war between the states. Mr..
Ellerbe occupied the chair while

marks on Mr.. Legare were made

Attend Services.
Washington, Feb. 22.-The
national capital today is one
great picture of waving flags in
honor of Washington's birth
day. A large number of pa
triotic celebrations are on the
program, beginning with me-
mortal services by the Knights
of Columbus at The Catholic
University and by the Sons of
the American Revolution this
morning, followed by similar
services by patriotic and state
organizations throughout the
day.
The tomb of Washington at
Mount Vernon was mecca to
which many hundreds made
their way and the great stones
beneath which rests the first
President and Mrs. Washing
ton, literally were buried be-
meath the flowers strewn upon
them.
The wheels of government
activity are at a standstill in
recognition of the day, with the
exception of the two houses of
Congress, which must content
themselves, because of the
heavy pressure of unfinished
business, with the reading of
Washington's famous farewell
address. In the senate, Senator
Brandegee of Connecticut, in
response to a request from the
presiding officer, read Washing
tons farewell address.

BAPTIST LAYM MEN

These people called Baptists
work like beavers, and like
beavers they like to work where
there is much water. In COM
mon with other denominations
they have put their laymen to
work. 1t was ascertained that
the regular ministers were like
Moses on a certain occasion.
They needed some on to hold up
their hands. The laymen un-
dertook the Job and they are do
ing it we'll all over the country.
Hon. joshua Levering of Balti-
more inaugurated the laymen's
movement amongst the Baptists
at the convention in Richmond
in 1907. Recently the laymen
met in Chattanooga. 1t was
noticeable that for the most
part laymen took charge of the
sessions of the convention. The
ministers were on the back
seats. When the laymen's
movement first began they went
at the work cautiously and the
preachers were prominent. They
were not butting in but Just
wished to show their lay broth
ers how to move off. 1t has now
come to pass that laymen can
hold a profitable conference or
convention if there is not
preacher around. The conven-
tion in Chattanooga considered
every subject relating to church
work at home and in foreign
fields. They emphasized the
method of tithing, especially in
raising money for missions. Ed
ucation, the stewardship of the
individual and the church, the
religious press, the pulpit, the
home, the cooperation of all
church agencies, the Sunday
school, and reports from the
southern field occupied every
minute of the time from the
opening session to the benedic-
tion at the close. Many men
had honorable titles, but the
greatest honor was due the
humble workers who were do
ing all they could in their spe-
cial field of labor. The meeting
was enough to inspire the min
istry to better and more etfec-
tive work and to arouse every
layman to a proper conSidera-
tion of his high duty to his
church, his neighbor and God.
Some ministers and laymen
both are too much like a tidy
housekeeper who spends her
time in dusting furniture, rub
bing up her fine chairs and win
dow facings and polishing
everything in drawing room and
kitchen. They never go out and
clean up the back yard and pull
up the noXious weeds. They
are satisfied if the front steps
and inside of the house are
clean. So these ministers and
good laymen spend much time
preaching to church members
and visiting their own fiocks
and letting the crowd in the
back alleys and in the dark cor
ners take care of themselves.
This Chattanooga convention
ought to arouse them to con-
stant activity, so that they
would go out and gather in the
people who do not attend any
church. The supreme com
mand is 60" Do not preach
a powerful" sermon to the old
stagers in the pews and then sit
down and wait for the lost ones
to come in. There is no au-
thority for that style of evan
gelizing the world. Let minis
ters and laymen remember that
the command is eco We into all
the world and preach the Cos
pei to every creature. Caro-
