Backache is often the first sign of some form
of kidney disease that has been coming on for
months Look for the other sisns:...!ame back,
sharp pains when STOPPING or lifting, dizzy

further proof yesterday by his wonder

held Birmingham's boys to a lone

Both Jackson and Leibold died stealing.

The White SoN won the game in the

and was caught off first by Blanding.
Doc Johnston saw Weaver taking
lead off third and tried to get him in
stead of Collins. He hit Blanding with
the ball, allowing Weaver to score, and
Collins to take second. Hal Chase's

Dr. Annie S. Daniel has been feel
ing the pulse of the poor Of the East
side for thirty-five years. She has
done it both literally and figuratlvely
But 1t Is to the literal end of the job
that she given her time. her mind
and her whole soul.
For thirty-five years she has been
the physician IN charge of the out
practice of the New York infirmary
for women and children. 1t was the
first work she did when she was grad
uated from medical college, and she
with an energy that seems never to
flag and with an interest that nax
never failed.
When 500 physicians, men and wo-
men, asked her TO attend a dinner the
other night in honor OF herself they
told DR. Daniel they wanted to cele-
brate her thirty-five years OF service
among the poor Of New York.
I've done the work" she said. to a
Times reporter. because it seemed
mine TO do. When / left medical col
lege I was under age. Others who had
been taking this out practice hadn't
seemed To like IN. | tried 1t and did
like 1t. have been situated SO that
/ could keep on with IL. I have no
one dependent upon me"
The general section she cevers IN
her practice IL from about Twenty
third street to Grand. and from Null
berry 10 the East river Thousands
of men, women and children down
there know her by sight-and they
never forget her.
They know her rather short. stocky
figure IN its well-tnade tailored suit
as far as they can zee ii. And once
they have met the STRAIGHTFORWARD
look OF her warm hazel-hrown eyes,
they are her friends for life. There
Is wholesomeness and steadrasr-
ness about her that carries confidence.
NOT Easy to Forget.
She liz not the kind of person II Is
easy to forget She herself Is always
having some unexpected proof of this.
Only the other day she was cross
ing street when the unaccountabie
nanoeuvres OF an automobile forced
her to doge out OF its way. Finally
she realized that the motoring indi-
vidual was deliberately trying to head
her off So she stopped. Wherenpon
the man in the machine laughed and
said
You don't remember me. DR.. Dan
lei. But 1t was you that came TO my
family and treated us when we were
poor Irish immigrants years ago. I've
never forgotten you"
Probably he said that he never
would forget her, and more things OF
that sort. But DIR. Daniel doesn't keep
such remarks In circulation by repeat
ing them. She has only one reason
for relating these encounters at all.
She does it because they help to prove
that her faith IN the immigrant has
not been misplaced.
II you ask her whether this faith
has not faltered after thirty-f1ve years
experience with the poorest and gen.
orally the most ignorant OF our i'm
migrants, she shakes her head.
Not a bit" she says with quiet
conviction 'If we were treating to-
day the same families over and over,
