Experiment.

If you suffer from backache; head
aches or dizzy spells; if you rest poor
ly and are languid in the morning; if
the kidney secretions are irregular
and unnatural in appearance, do not
delay. In such cases the kidneys Of
ten need help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kidney trouble-they are
recommended by thousands. Can
residents desire more convincing
proof than the statement of a citizen
of this locality?
Mrs. William Doughty, 700 Mulber-
ry ST., Millville, N. j., says: 81 had
a severe pain in my back and over my
kidneys. l took Doan's Kidney Pills
and in a short time was relieved of
the trouble. l am today free from
kidney disease. Another of my FAM
lily had been troubled by kidney CON-

caused annoyance. Doan's Kidney

OF INTEREST TO MAsoNs.

The attention of the Masonic order
has been called to the fact that the
sale of liquor in hotels and saloons
on Sunday is a Masonic crime. Fol
lowing is the text of a letter sent by
Attorney Joe Beatty Burt, chairman
of the crime prevention committee of
the Fraternal Education association to
the various Masonic bodies in Chica-
go:
Dear Friends and Brothers: Doubt
less you have noticed in the daily
press that the Chicago loop hotels
Except the Blackstone and Great
Northern) have formed a combination
to violate the law of Illinois. The
managers of some of these hotels are
thirty-second degree Masons and be-
long to Oriental Consistory, Since the
violation of state laws by a member
of the Masonic fraternity is a Masonic
crime, l am calling your attention to
this open, brazen, and notorious of
tense of some of our ignorant and less
informed brethren with the hope that
they will overcome their own selfish
blindness and correct an error of their
ways. l am also informed that some
of the Masonic lodges in Chicago are
deriving profit from the lawlessness
that prevails in our city. No doubt
you will agree with me that the time

grew. Why, how is this, Patrick? /

TOWNS ARE IMMENSE
 FORMLESS DUSTHEAPS
Little Done to Start Life Afresh in Italian Region Ruined by Recent
 Earthquake.

Correspondence of the Associated Press,
 Rome, March 30.--Although over two months have passed since earth quake wrecked a large portion of the Abruzzi district, comparatively little has been done to start life afresh in the ruined region. The great de- sire of most of the few survivors however, is to return once ore to their native mountains and put to- l,ether some humble shelter for them selves.
 ' At Chapelle, Avezzano and other towns which suffered most severely, nothing strikes the beholder so forcibly as the thoroughness of the destruc- tion. The towns are immense, form less dustheaps. It is easy to under stand how the work of rescue in the early days was rendered almost inn possible by the entire lack of ladders, tools or any instruments which could aid in disinterrng the innumerable victims
 The venerable patriot and historian, Senator Pasquale Villari, whose fasci- mating books on Savonarola and on Machiavelli have been translated into many languages, has come forward to suggest that a body of workers, re- scmbling those trained for Red Cross work in war; should be thoroughly and scientifically prepared beforehand in order that when these recurrent earthquake tragedies overwhelm one part or another of Italy, they could be sent instantly. armed with every appliance to render assistance that would be trebled in value by it's Dromptness Professor Nillari recalls that the Japanese, whose land is also constantly threatened by earth uuakes, have a permanent commission for the study of earthquakes and of the best mode of rebuilding the towns that have suffered and of avoiding the consequences of these ca1amities.
 Father Alfani, the director of the observatory at Florence in a lecture lately delivered in Rome, pointed out that recently; in Japan, earthquakes more violent than those of Messina or Avezzano had occurred and that, thanks to such studies and ,precau- tions the loss of life had been infini- tesimal or non-existent. Senator Will lari re marks that the coss of training and equipping such a body of men though it would be considera bIe, would be as nothing in comparison to the expenditure to which the nation is put in repairing, as'wel1 as may be, the loss of life and property caused by these recurrent ,misfortunes.
