BACKING UPlPROOF.
The Kind That Alma People Cannot
Deny

Many an earnest Alma man or wo-
man has publicly endorsed Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Week after week, month after
month you've read their statements.
Would these Alma people recon-
mend any medicine if it were not
good?
Would they confirm and repeat
their statements after years had pass
ed?
Local proof is good evidence.
Testimony confirmed years after is
better evidence.
The following Alma mans state
ment leaves no room for doubt.
Ii must convince every kidney suf-
ferer who reads it.
If your back aches-if your kidneys
are weak, profit by Mr.. Griffin's ex-
erience:

America is making her millin-
cry at home this esason.
The exclusive few, of course,

be of American design and Amer

women are weary of war;" he
said.
when some of the designers
tried to give vogue to Mexican
colors and Mexican designs, the
advance models were rejected"
After consultation with many
makers of millinery | am able to
make this forecast as to fall hats.
The mushroom hat. with deep,
stiff brim, will be THE hat of the
early fall season.
The high-crowned "stovepipe'
hat with tiny brim will be popu-
lar-but not all of us can wear
such severe headgear.
Dress-Up Hats of Velvet.
There's also a little jockey CAP
richly braided with soutach that
is charming and youthful, and
then there is the large hat of vel
vet for formal afternoon wear.
These "dress-up" hats are in
variably of velvet combined with
taffeta.l
The chief trimming is a shir.
ring on crown and brim, and
metal flowers in irridescent col
ors.
Many new fall hats will have
fur-edged brims. Mole and err
mine are good trimming for a
velvet hat of taupe or wine-tint-
ed velvet.

COMING
Senate Is Likely
to Fight For
ReinsertiOn of
Section.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. is.
President Wilton today vetoed
the army bill, an act making ap-
preparations for the support of
the army for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1917.
His action resulted from a pro-
vision in the bill exempting retir-
ed army officers from liability to
service and discipline under the
articles Of war.
Wilson declared such an eXemp-
ton Is unconstitutional. His Ines
sage said:
with genuine reluctance the
president returns the bill which
wisely and generously provides
for national defense.
Gives Reasons.
1.-THE existing articles of war
undoubtedly are archaic, and
have not undergone revision for
over 100 years. Therefore the
president more keenly regrets
that he is unable to give his ap-
proval to this revision of the arti-
cles of war"
He declared retired officers are
not mere pensioners, and upholds
the presidents rights to summon
them to duty In emergencies.
Bill Re-IntrOduced.
Within one hour after the veto
reached the house, Chairman Hay
reintroduced the measure. minus
any mention of the articles Of
war. 1t will 60 to the committee
and probably be voted on tomor-
row in the house.

Of $4,000 regulars and 100000
national guardsmen.
Chairman Chamberlain of the
senate military affairs committee,
declared the upper house would
insert the old articles of war when
the new house measure reaches
the senate. A bitter fight in con-
ference is expected when the new
bill reaches the stage.

BIG BUGS
GATHER

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. IS.
The railway trainmen's broth
erhoods today asked President
Wilson to modify his proposition.
The trainmen failed to complete
their balloting on Wilson's pro-
posal at noon and adjourned TN
til $3.50.
The railroad presidents began
arriving at the White House at
2 o'clock. The president was
up early preparing his appeal to
them. He cancelled the session
OF the cabinet.
Many of the presidents are
known to be hostile. They have
determined to support the railway
managers refusal to accept VIII
sons proposal, which would mean
the granting of the eight-hour
day and the appointment of a
presidents commission to investi-
gate the other demands of the
trainmen.-
Wilson has prepared a state
ment to the American people de-
failing the negotiations for set
Element. He plans to make it
public after the meeting of the
railroad presidents.
The statement will announce

lions after receiving the answers

1T will be attended by men,
