For months Alaskan readers have seen the constant expression ot praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and read about the good work theJ have done. What other remedy ev- CT produced such convincing proof of merit?
 Anthony Miller, 4316 s. Puget Sound Ave, Tacoma, Wash, says: 'I had lameness across my kidneys and headaches and dizzy spells. l suffered from a constant backache when on my feet. I tried everythin but got nothing that would remove u trouble, until Doan's Kidney Pils were recommended to me. They quickly strengthened my back and removed the lamepess. I was soon able to sleep well at night and got up iu the mC1ning feeling refresh ed, instead of being more tired when I went t. bed"

MEANY BELIEVES SPANIARDS
 GAVE Us OUR DOLLAR SIGN

Seattle, March 1-The dollar sign known the world over as the symbol of American money, appeared as the pillars of Hercules upon the Spanish milled dollars used by the American colonies at the time Of the Reyolu- ton. Professor Edmond s. Meany, of the University of Washington his tory department, has one of these old coins dated "1797." He believes that the use of the dollar sign dates back to these coins.
 The coin iu the possession of Professor Meany has On its reverse the two pillars of Hercules which were supposed to be n the Temple of Hercules at Cadiz. These two pillars are Intertwined with banners The pillars support the Spanish coat of arms, but the banners are draped in such Q way that, if drawn together, they would produce the modern dollar sign.
 This idea is opposed by many, who believe that the monogram "U. g." with the curve of the "U" cut off, was the origin of the symbol.

PAYING TANES

In the United States the revenue authorities have devoted considerable attention to the detection of the tax eYaders who hold from the treasury annually, some authorities consider, several million dollars. That there are also people in the United Kingdom who show consider able dffidence when called upon to bear their share of the common bur den, even if, later reflection brings repentance, is shown by the appear ance in British newspapers of such notices as the following: Con science Money. The chancellor Of :hc excheQuer acknowledges the re ceipt of 25 pounds" Conscientious scruples about paying certain taxes ono can understand; demonstrations scruples about paying any tax are another matter. Nor can one readi- ly fathom the very general convic- ton, not confined merely to those wno would always avoid paying their dues if they could, that taxes are an unavoidable but very unpleas ant necessity.
 1t may be admitted that in no country are systems of taxation per rect. The collection of taxes is wasteful and their expenditure often at -arianCe with the views, if not with the consciences, of those who contribute them. Nevertheless tax .S bring a very large return for a very small outlay, and most people would be none She worse if they gave this point some consideration. Taxpayers are apt to regard the ser vices of the community to the indiv- .du2l as provided by sort of na- ,urGl law and the payment of taxes 10 be no better than giving some thing for nothing.

1000 MILES FOR CARNATIONS
Chinese Dentist Goes Half Way Across
Continent and Back to Pro-
cure Flowers.

c. Kew, a Chinese dentist OF
Shanghai, who is In Seattle on his
way home, doesn't care about distance
or obstacles once he makes up his
mind he wants something. Mr.. Kew
arrived on the Pacific coast from
Shanghai in search of health. He
visited the various cities along the
Pacific slope and came to Seattle q
week ago.
After booking his passage for China
be found that he had several days to
wait, and, remembering that he had
tied a string on his finger to remind
himself to bring home some carna-
ton plants, took the first train for
Chicago and sought florist noted for
the excellence of his carnations.
He just has returned from Chicago
with his carnation plants and will sail
Tuesday for Shanghai, where they will
add their part to his flower garden.
1T never occurred to me until now
how odd Il must seem to anyone to
travel to Chicago and back for few
carnations" said Mr. Kew. However,

Rudyard Kipling narrowly escaped

on the Territorial training field at
Sevenoaks, England, says the Youths
Companion. In letter sergeant In
the Territorials says:
Our battalion turned out in full

looking man came to me and asked
me lot of particulars about the bat
TALON. He told me he had seen q lot
of soldering in his time and said he
must confess our men struck him as
being about the smartest in marching
he had ever seen, outside the regu-
lars.
"He asked me so many particulars
about them and also about their bill

him as a sort Of spy. ! excused my
self and rode off to the head OF the
column and informed one of our
majors of what had occurred. and
later | took the man to the major.

Robbed at Billy Sunday Meeting.

"One can never tell what kind OF
company he Is in when he's In a
crowd" observed Maj. j. c. Hemphill
of South Carolina and Philadelphia,
at Washington. William Campbell,
editor Of the Charlestown Free Press,
West Virginia, recently had an expert
perience which illustrates this point.
He was visiting in New York, and
went with the crowd to see the new
heavyweight champion, less Willard.
He thought pretty well Of Willard,
The next day he went over to Pater-
son to hear Billy Sunday. He
thought pretty we'll of Sunday, also.
In fact, he thought so much OF the
baseball evangelist that he went back
the following day. AS he was push
ing his way out Of the throng In the
tabernacle in Paterson someone
touched him for his bank roll which
he had carelessly allowed to repose
in his coat pocket.
1.-THE incident very naturally set the
editor to thinking about crowds, and
he came to the conclusion that no
matter what might be the attraction,
sports or religion, human nature very
probably was the same. At any rate,
he lost his money"

No Cheap Diamonds.

Hundreds of thousands of women in
Europe are sending their jewelry to
the numerous relief funds for the war
ridden countries. Some give their
trinkets because it Is the only thing
of value they own. Suffice 1t to say
that trustees of these funds In every
part Of Europe report the receipt of
lots of jewelry, some pieces OF which
are worth thousands OF dollars.

u. S. is CAUTIOUS
Officials Reticent While Await

Washington Is Visibly Con-

Washington, Aug. 20.-The official
details upon which President Wilson
will decide whether the sinking of the
White Star liner Arabic was an act
deliberately unfriendly to the United
States were still lacking today.
President Wilson left the White
House early to motor to Philadelphia
to visit his occulist and motor back to
the capital this evening. When he has
a deep question in his mind, it is the
presidents habit to seek seclusion,
often riding through the countryside.
Only two official dispatches had
been received and they gave the fruits
of no independent investigation, mere
ly transmitting the reports of the
White Star line. The United States
will decide its course upon the reports
of its own officials.
Not Warned, Says Page.

torpedoed without warning and Vice
