 Experiment

If you suffer from backache; headaches or dizzy spells; If you rest poorly and are languid in the morning; If the kidney secretions are irregular and unnatural in ap- pearance, do not delay. In such cases the kidneys often need help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are es- pecially prepared for kidney trou- bleS-they are recommended by thousands. Can kidney sufferers desire more convincing proof than the statement following:
 James M. Cahill, stationary en- gineer, PAT Harrison St., Portland, Oregon, says: Nothing has oc- cured to alter my high opinion of Deans Kidney Pills and I confirm my former endorsement of them given soma years ago. Since then I have been helped by Doan's Kid hey Pills and I believe that they have no equal for kidney and blad- der trouble"

 beginning September 27. The spokesman told the president that his help was needed because it might be the last great gathering of the veterans who saved the na- tion in the days of '61.
 President Wilson's answer was brief, but it was decidedly to the point. He told the committee he was ready to give them his full CO., operation, and agreed to review the veterans.
 Acting under orders from Secre- tary of War Garrison and Major General Wood, United States regu- lars will give exhibition drills dur ing the week of the encampment at Fort Myer, Va, a short distance from the national capital, on the grounds adjacent. A special fea- ture Of these drills will be eXhibi- tions by the U. s. Medical corps.
 A feature of the military demon strations during the week will be a wig-wag signal contest between eX- perts of the signal corps of the Civil War and of the U. s. army. Lieut.. George c. Round, who flashed the last signals before tho fall of Richmond, will wig-wag message from the dome of the capi- toI to a comrade stationed on the roof of the Treasury building, a mile distant. The old method of transmitting signals by torches will also be shown by veterans, while the up-to-date methods of field telephony and wireless telegraphy will be demonstrated by experts of the regular army. Many of the old forts which surrounded Wash ington in the days of the Civil war have been put in readiness for the signal contests and at night the city will be girdled by the flashes of the signal torches in the hands of the men who defended the capt- tai years ago.
 Secretary Daniels has placed the U. . Marine band at the disposal of the veterans for the week, and series of concerts will be given. The full band of siXty-five pieces will also participate in the Grand Review, Wednesday, September 29, when 5O,OOO men will be in line. The secretary of the navy has al so promised the Washington com Iuittee that one vessel of each type in the United States navy that can navigate the Potomac river, will be in Washington harbor and will be open for inspection by members of the G. A. R. and visitors during inc encampment. The fleet will include the lighter cruisers, torpedo boats and submarines, while one of the most modern monitors will be moored beside a vessel of the same type of iron-clads of the Civil war.
 In addition to the war ships, two naval aeroplanes and two hy- droplanes will be brought to Wash ington from the aviation base at Pensacola, Fla, and exhibition flights will be given by experts of the navy.

Of the four Dutch governors not one was compe- tent AIinuit was fairly wise, but was active in furthering the patroon sys- tenn, feudalism pure and simple. Wou- ter van Twiller, who was five feet six inches tall and six feet five inches in circumference, was a fool; William Kieft was peFpery, avaricious and dis honest, and old "Silver Peg" Peter Stuyyesant was a despOt.
 Of the English governors all but one, and be q shining exception, were as bad as the Dutch. Lord Bellomont was the partner of Kidd, the piratei Lord Cornbury was a degenerate who painted his face and went slmpering through the streets; Slaughter was a notorious drunkard; Lovelace, Hunter, Burnet, MontgOmerie, Cosby and Clark were worthless; Nicolls and Andros have little to their credit
 The exception was Thomas Dongan. Few perhaps appreciate the debt Amer lea and the world owe to Dongan. The bill of rights or charter of lber- ties, which he drafted while governor and gave to the colonists, formed the basis of the Declaration of Independ- ence which Thomas Jefferson wrote nearly a century later. It marked the first step in the march of events that led to the birth of this nation of free men.
 Little, perhaps, did Dongan know of the mighty consequences of his act How could he? He ruled but DOT ton of BrltGin's colony in America.
