GET TO THE CAUSE
keokuk People are Learning the
Way.

There IL but little peace or comfort
for the man or woman with bad
back. The distress begins in early
morning-keeps up throughout the
day. It's hard to get out Of bed, It's
torture to stoop or straighten. Plas-
tiers and liniments may relieve. but
cannot cure IL the cause is inside
the Kidneys. When suffering so. use
Doan's Kidney Pills. the tested and
proven kidney remedy, used in kidney
troubles for over so years. Doan's
Kidney Pills are recommended by
thousands for just such cases. Proof
of their effectiveness in the testimony
OF this Keokuk resident:
Mrs. George Huffman, 1912 Blondeau
street, Keokuk, says: "One Of my
family suffered from lameness in the
back and trouble with the kidney
secretions. Learning of the merit OF
Doan's Kidney Pills, we procured this
remedy at Wilkinson & Co.'S Drug
store and 1t soon brought relief"
Price soc, at ali dealers. Don't
simple ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Huffman recommends. Foster.

SIGLIN MAKES HIT
AT PITTSBURGH
Pittsburgh Dopesters Mako Favorable
Comments on Work Of Former
Central Association Player.

Waterloo Courier: Paddy Siglin has
made a decided hit with the Pitts
burgh dopesters and Chick Fraser who
purchased both McAuley and Stglin
is confident the two players will make
good. McAuley has not been going
his usual gait but should soon strike
his old winning stride.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch had the
following comment on Siglins work:
This Siglin person plays the
deepest second base Of any man in
self out on the grass and he is in mo-
ton every time the ball Is hit, no
matter whether it's a foul tip or a fly
to right field. He is exceptionally
fast and Is sure on ground balls. He
gets under the pop flies with COM
mendable speed and appearances, to
be all that is needed. Whenever pos
sible he backs up play and is Johnny
on the job at all times. His hitting,
too, has been better than is generally
offered by a rookie. Scout Chick
Fraser says the youngster is there
and it looks as though Chick was
right"
The Pittsburgh Press had the fol-
lowing:
"Chick Fraser is an enthusiastic
booster of both Siglin and McAuley,
the new Pirate infielders. Chick
watched them both in the west and is
convinced they will make good with
the Pirates. McAuley, the Waterloo
recruit, continued at short yesterday
and put up another fine fielding
game. though he, too, failed to hit
Scout Fraser is authority for the
statement that McAuley is good hit
ter and is certain that he will strike
his stride in this erection very short
ly. He has already demonstrated that
on the offensive he has ability"

Monday morning. The limit was
reached when just before six to-
night, Senator Kenyon. having slept

speak all night. Senator Norris, though

worn out by his all night speech and
his work throughout the day. Alto
gether since six o'clock Frida ynight,
Burton had occupned the floor about
sixteen hours when he gave 1t up
about four o'clock this afternoon to
permit Senator Sterling to make
speech in favor OF the bill
Tomorrow number Of confer
ences will be held with view Of at
fecting compromise on which the
filibuster will end. Unless this is
reached, the fililbuster will be re-
sumed with full force Monday. The
opponents Of the bill will be power
fully reinforced by Senator Borah
who has been out Of town and who
is good for at least one all night or
all day session. assisted by few
quorum calls. There are number OF
senator's, however, who are not will
ing to attend any more all night ,ses'
sions and who have plainly warned
those in charge Of the bill to this ef-
feet. though they themselves favor
the bill.
The difference between the two
groups at present Is about $4,000. 900.
The committee bill as now amended
appropriates about $34,000,000, while
the Burton substitute appropriation
is about $2S, 600, 0O0 Burton took the
committee substitute and merely
scratched out 4 few items to which
he particularly objected. 1t will be
on these items that the conference
will be held. President Wilson as
sured the democratic senators
this afternoon that the report
that he would favor bill ap-
propriating about $13,00o,oo0 in a
lump sum, to be spent under the d.
rection Of the secretary Of war, was
absolutely unauthorized. Despite his
assurance, there was a report among
senators tonight, that the president
had threatened to veto the bill unless
1t WAS materially cut down. The
president was said to be In favor OF a
severe pruning Of the bill as this
would lessen the amount necessary
to be raised by war tax. Such an
attitude on the part of the president,
however, was not recognized as pos
sible by the leaders in favor Of the
bill.
