 Use tested kidney remedy.
 Begin with Doan's Kidney Pills.
 Used in kidney troubles 50 years.

 It's local testimony-it can be inves- tigated.
 Mrs. John Devine, Bragg St.. Canaan, says: "We have used Doan's Kidney Pills in our family with good results and don't hesitate to recommend them. One of the family was troubled by backache and other symptoms of disor- dered kidneys. Nothing proved of benefit until Doans Kidney Pills, pro- cured at R. T. Farnum S5 Go. s Drug Store were used. They made the kid neys normal and relieved the backache. :" Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney P1lls-the same that Mrs. Devine recommends.

.kEURkLGIC PAINS

These may be felt in any nerve of the body but are most frequent in the nerves of the head. Neuralgia may be caused by decayed tooth, eyestrain or dis eased ear but the most common cause Is general debility accompanied by anemia, or thin blood.
 For this reason women who work too hard or dance too much and who do not get sufficient rest, sleep and fresh air, are the most frequent sufferers from neu- ralgia and sciatica, which is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve.
 Nutrition for the nerves is the correct treatment for neuralgia and the only way to nourish the nerves is through the blood. Dr. Williams Pink Pills supply to the blood just the elements it needs to increase it's capacity to carry nourishment to starved nerves. They have proved helpful in SO many cases of neuralgia and sciatica that any sufferer from these troubles is fully justified in giving these pills trial. pr. Williams Pink Pills contain no harmful or habit-forming drugs and may be taken for any length of time with perfect safety.

TWO DISCOVERIES OF
 VAST IMPORTANCE
Made by ChcmiSt-- t--Boon to Ameri- Can Industries Are Military Asset.

Washington, March 1.-Two dis American industries, and one regard cd also as & priceless military asset, were announced yesterday by Secre- tary Lane, of the interior departmen They are chemical processes, de- Neloped after years of research by pr. Walter F. Rittman, chemical en- gineer of the bureau of mines. One Is expected to enable oil refiners to increase their output of gasoline by 200 per cent; the other makes pos sible the production from crude petroleum of toluol and benzol bases for dyes and high explosives, for which in the past the United States and the rest Of the world has de- pended almost exclusively upon Ger many.
 Dr. Rittman has applied for patents upon his processes, to prevent the possibility of any monopoly in their usc, and vii dedicate them to the American people.
 Fraught With Importance.
 ''These processes said Secretary Lane yesterday, "are fraught with the utmost importance. The Standard Oil company has had a big advantage ever independents in the production or gasoline, having a patented process obtaining three times the amount of gasoline from 8 given quantity of pe- tro1eum which the independents now obtain. Independent producers as whole have never been able even to approach these results. Now the fed cral government, through the efforts of Dr. Rfttman, proposes to make free for the use of all a process confident ]y expected to increase their yields of gasoline fully 200 per cent and per haps more. pr. Rittman claims his process is safer, simpler and moro economical. These are economic fac tors of great importance.
 With steadily increasing demand for gasoline for autom obiles, motor boats and engines, this fortunate dis covery comes at the proper time. It is but two years ago that the automo- bile industry, fearing the supply of gasoline might not be adequate for its rapidly expanding business, offered a $100,OOO prize for a substitute that

DAC|A CASE BEFORE
 FRENCH PRIZE COURTS
Action of United States Viii De-
 pend Upon Decision

Washington, March 1-Seizure of the American steamer Dacia, formerly a. Hamburg erican liner, by a French cruiser which took the vessel to Brest, places the entire question Of the validity of a transfer of flag after the outbreak of hostilities before the prize courts of France for adjudica- tion.
 Whereas the practice of England, 1t has been contended by officials of the American gOvernm ent, conforms pret- ty much to the doctrines of the Unit ed States, many transfers having been recognized in the past, the claim has been set up in various quarters during the present war that France has a tra- ditional and unalterable opposition to any transfers or registry whatsoever during the war.
 France Has Acquiesced.
 Officials of the state department and senators who have argued the point in congress have pointed out, however, that while this doctrine has been pro- claimed by France since the time of Louis XVII, the practice of the French Admiralty has been different and that in many cases France actually has acquiesced in the right of a vessel to change its registry after the out break of hostilities.
 No move will be made by the United States government until the French prize courts render a decision. If it fails to recognize the validity of the transfer, a>protest will be entered.
 Case Easy to Decide, Says "Temps."
 Paris, March 1.--Comm enting on <,ft bo cfn Dac Temps" says:
 International law does not recog- nize the purchase by neutrals of ships belonging to belligerents. with the object of evading the consequences of a state of war. The test case which will be submitted to a Brest prize court, therefore, will be sim pie one, but nevertheless it will at tract widespread attention.
 No Longer Justified.
 'France and Great Britain hith herto have adhered so religiously to inter- national conventions that they even have refrained From proclamation of an effective blockade of thef Ger man coast. This scruplc is no longer justified. Tn placing herself outside the law, Germany gives us a free hand. We will not abuse our power We will award full compensation and will continue to respect neutral prop erty.'

would cost less than gasoline This new process adds to the hope that, in spite of the wonderful growth in the use of gasoline, there may not be any shortage in the future. l am led to believe it will not only be of in estimable value to ref1ners command ing but limited capital, as well as those of wealth. but also to the hun Greds of thousands of users of gaso- line. When 1t is realized the gasoline industry each year yields S1OO,00O,- 900 to $150,OOO,O0O, the importance of this discovery Is seen.
 ToIuol and Bcnzol From Petroleum.
 ''The second process discovered by Dr. Rittman may prove of much more value than the first, in that it sug- gests the establishment of an indus try in which Germany heretofore has been pre- -eminent-the dye industry and also promises indirectly a meas ure of national safety of incalculable importance. Among the necessary in gredients of high explosives, toluol and benzol are in the first rank. Heretofore, these products have been produced from practically no Ameri- can petroleum. The supply can be made sufficient not only for the en- tire American trade, but also for other purposes and at a reasonable cost
 "The real comforting thing, now ever, Is that in time of great national stress, if the nation is ever called upon to defend itself, we will be able to manufacture the most efficient and most powerful explosives known in war.
 Would Spell National Disaster.
 Were it not for this discovery, it is possible that in such an emergency, we might be compelled to rely large Iy on greatly inferior explosives and this would spell national disaster.
 'Dr. Rittman concludes from hls experiments that this process may be- come more economical than German methods, and it may result in event. ually giving the United States a su- premacy in the dye-stuffs industry that has for some time belonged to Germany It would tend to prevent a disturbance of the great industries engaged in the manufacture of silks, cottons and woolens in such extraor- dinary times as we are now exper1- encing.'
 Cost Is Iessened.
 New York, March 1.-Dr. waiter r. Rittman whose discovery of new process for deriving gasoline. benzol and totuol from petroleum was by Secretary of the In terior Lane at Washington last night, lives in this city. In speaking of the discovery today Dr. Rittman said: "I do not claim to have cheapened the process of producing benzol or totuol, nor, for that matter. do I claim to have lessened the cost of deriving gas oline from petroleum. My process makes 1t possible, though, to get gasoline form cheaper oils--for eN- ampile, the California oils-and in this was the cost lessened."
 Dr. Rittman is only 32 years old and got his Ph. D. from Columbia last year.
 He was born in Sandusky, Ohio, and educated at Ohio Northern Col lege, Swarthmore and finally at Co., Iumbia. He has been busy on his work with petroleum products since last summer.

 "The special service branch of the legion will accept in it's various ser vices only those men with thorough technical qualifications such as engi- neers, doctors, avators, blacksmiths, telegraphists, chauffeurs, and men of dozens of other social callings. It will be what the government now E,Cks--a first reserve.
