People with kidney ills want to be
cured. When one suffers the tor
lures Of an aching back, relief is
eagerly sought for. There are many
remedies today that relieve, but do
not cure. Doan's Kidney Pills have
brought lasting results to thousands.
Here is Alexandria evidence Of their
merit

Alexandria, says: l had pains in my
bacl: and couldn't rest well. In the

Doan's Kidney Pills did such good
work that it is pleasure to recon-
mend them to other kidney suffer

LITTLE OCCASION FOR WORRY
Physicians Anxiety as to Germs Quiet
! ed by Assurance Made by
Porter.

A party of physicians were on their
way to medical convention and they
had gathered in the buffet car to dis
cuss professional matters The talk
had begun with proper cleanliness in
bandaging. 1t had progressed to that
point where sneezing was condemned
for The, germs it disseminated, when
the engine whistled to announce an ap.
preaching station. The porter entered
He waved his whiskbroom.
"Bresh YOU off, subj" he asked of
eone of the doctors. The doctor turned
on him.
Just exactly what I've been con-
tending he said, heatedly. There's
one of the finest little systems of
spreading germs that ever was invent
ed. The porter comes in here and he
brushes me off, then he brushes you,
and you, and everyone else, and
Ctarts lot of germs flying round
in the air to be breathed in and start
disease. say that germs ought not to
be disturbed in public. It's dangerous.
They ought TO be let alone--not thrown
up into the air BY all this brushing
There was a moment Of silence. The
porter grinned foolishly. He first stood
on one foot, then on the other. He
grinned again, then waved his brush.
Come on, Doctah:" he begged;
come ON and let ME bresh you OFF!
Pshaw! Don't let that idea about mi.
crobes bother you any! What little
breshin' I'm going to do amt going to
disturb no germs. No, suhr!"-Youth's

STATE FILES THAW
BRIEF IN U. s. COURT
Says Fugitive Was Indicted for
Conspiracy, Not for
Escaping.
ASKS WRIT'S DISMISSAL
Questions Authority Of Federal
Government to Inter-
fcrc in the Case.

CoScouD. y. H., Jan. 1s.--wil,lsm 7.
jerome through his New Hampshire rep
icsentativo. bernard l.. Jacobs has APP
piled to Judge Aldr.ch OF the United
States court to defer the hearing on the
question OF admitting Harry Il. Thaw to
bail until after the middle OF next week.
Mr.. Jerome says he Is So busy that he
cannot come TO New Hampshire now. II
Is understood that Judge Aldrich will
agree to the postponement. which ts not
objected TO by Thaws counsel.
A brief questioning the power of the
United states District Court OF New
Hampshire to issue "A writ oe habcas
corpus for Harry Is. Thaw, thereby in
curing into the motive OF the State OF
New York in the proceeding to have him
eXtradited. was filed here to-day by Mr..
Jacobs. acting for the State OF New York.
The brief points out that Thaws In
dic,mcnt In New York was not for escap-
ing nor for conspiring TO commit crirno
but for "a conspiracy to pcrvert and OBJ
etruct Justice and due administration of
law and that such q conspiracy Is a
crime. The escape from Matteawan liz only
one Of the overt acts alleged. says the
br!o', and 1, might be entirely stricken
from the Indictment and the indictment
DC good
Continuing. the brief says:
UNLESS this court is prepared to hold
that a person confined in an insane asy-
lum cannot commit the crime OF con-
spiracy that Il person insane cannot
commit such crime. regardless OF the
form OF insanity or its relation to the
crime charged. then the fact that the fu-
gitive escaped from an asylum for the
insane Is a. irrelevant AS the fact would
be that he had glass eye. red hair or
= WOODEN leg"
A crime is charged in the requisition
papers, according to tho brief. even
though Thaw was confined in an asylum

acts is presumed under the Penal Code
II says. and the burden Of disproving II
10 on the accused. "He must show that
at the time he committed the crime he
vas laboring under such u defect OF
reason not to know the nature or
quality Of his act or that tho act was
wrong"
I'm interstate rendition neither thi.
court nor any other court or executive
authority has power or the right to in
quire into the motive or purpose OF the
demanding state.
III. then. the Executive Of an asylum
State New iampsh.re) has no right to
inquire into the motive or purpose of the

eral court Il right TO go behind the de-
cisiou of the Governor Of the asylum

tiou and granted Il surrender Of the fugi-
tive"
I'm the case at bar the court should

theory that questions under the United

should dismiss the writ and allow tho
petitioner TO raise such questions In the
