After using five or six bottles l felt fine and have continued to work as had before my afflfction. want to state that Dr. Kiln CTS Swamp-Root is a kidney medicine that will cure and I owe my good work during the past five or six years to it.
 Yours very truly,

CECIL SPOONER IS
 SUCCESS IN LYRIC
 THEATRE OFFERING
"What Happened to Mary
 Merits Appreciation At Opening.

1 What Happeued to Nary as it was produced last evening by Cecil Spooner and he'd own stock company at the Lyric theatre. is as pleasing and entertaining a play as could be wished for. Two of it's four acts are laid on Moses Island in little seaside town and the two others are in New York. Throughout the play there are many witty lines and funny situations which keep the audience in good humor.
 Mary is a Iovable girl, who has been brought up by a harsh and crabbed old man and his lazy wife. She does not know her parentage, only that she was brought in the night to the island, when tiny babe, by a tall man. Of course the disclosing of her identity is a part of the plot, although there are trayal of girl parts, adds another to trala1 of girl parts, adds another to her long list of successes as Mary.
 PeI1 Trenton has different role, that of a woman hater in which he is much more interesting than as an ardent 1ovenaker. Of course, the inevita b1e happens. He falls in love with Mary but not until late in the play and cer- tainly his proposal, given in the height of his anger, because she dared to
 make him fall in love with her is most unique.
 bAG1dn MOnrOe IS charm1nS as Mrs. Winthrop. Muriel Valentine does good work as Annie Welch and Reta ViI1ers has two very different parts, both of which she plays exceptionally well.
 Darrel Vinton, as Capt. Jogifer, the
 old sailor who had wooden leg,'' is especially worthy of praise, and Fred erick Clayton as Tuck Wintergreen, who wished to marry Mary, furnished much of the comedy. Philip Leigh has another dissipated young man part which he portrays we'll. Robert Law renee is Richard Craig, Russell Bing- ham, Billy Pert, George Kelly, Joe Buck and Robert Crawford, Tom Lit tie. The play is sure to please and to draw crowded houses all during the week.

Points of New Note

Among the points in the new note
are:
the assumption by the United
States that Germany, by declaring her
submarine warfare TO be d retaliat DRY
acts of her enemies, has admitted that
the destruction of unresisting mer-
chantmen without warning is illegal.
German submarine commanders
already have proven that they can
save the passengers and crews of yes
sells and can act in conformity with
the laws Of humanity in making war
on enemy ships.
S-"The United States cannot allow
the relations between the belligerents
to operate in any way as an abbre-
walton Of the rights of neutrals. and
therefore, any violation of the prin-
clples for which the American gov
eminent contends. resulting in a loss
Of American lives will be viewed as
''unfriendly
4-The representations which +be
American government has made in pre-
vious notes for disavowal Of the intention
10 SINK the Lusitania with Americans on
board and the request for PREPARATION are
reiterated with renewed insistence
;-The American government realizes
the unusual and abnormal conditions
which the present conflict has created in
the conduct of maritime war and is will
ing to act as an intermediary as between
the belligerents to arrange a modus vi
Vendi or any other temporary arrange
ments which do not involve a surrender
by the United States of its rights.
e-The proposals made by Germany to
give immunity to American ships under
the American flag are rejected with the
emphatic assertion that TO accept such
suggestion would be to admit Germany S
right to set aside the American conten-
ton based on fundamental principles il.
international law, that neutrals may
travel anywhere on the high seas on un-
resisting ships Of any nationality even
if carrying contraband.
