MYSTERIOUS PAINS AND ACHES
Make Life Hard to Bear for Many
 New Britain Women.

Too many women mistake their pains and aches for troubles peculiar to the sex. More often disordered kid neys are causing the aching back dizzy spells, headaches and irregular urination. Kidney weakness becomes dangerous if neglected. Use a time tired kidney remedy-Doans Kidney Pills. Hosts of people testify to their merit. Read New Britain case:
 Miss F. Roseen, 270 Maple St., New Britain, says: T was just as misera ble as could be and had continual, sharp, shooting pains in my back. I couldn't move unless this pain seized me and it was just like needles piercing my back all the time. It often caused loss of sleep and made me feel tired and worn-out. I doctored and used medicines but got only temporary re- lief. I finally used Doan's Kidney Pills and the second box gave me re- lief. Four boxes permanently cured me-"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that cured Miss Roseen. Foster Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

most untouched, studying an unusual- ly pretty girl.
 When I Should Have Been Shopping.
 Myself, I spent fifteen minutes of a precious half hour, into which much shopping was to be crowded, follow ing the lOveliest woman I ever saw around a shop. If I do not hold tight to my pencil, I shall start de- scribing her, for the impression she made was more powerful than that produced by any work of art I ever saw.
 To watch the play of expressiont on the face of very pretty girl, to picture the power her beauty must give her, to analyze her charm and find out just what features chief ly contribute to it, is infinitely more fascinating to me than any picture gallery could be, and I feel sure that there are many women who will say the same.
 No Woman Likes To Be Disparaged.
 By Interference.
 To be sure, no woman likes to have her husband call attention to another woman's charms in a way which casts reflection upon her own.
 Again, women do not always ad- mire the same type as their husbands. Hence their disparagement of his ad- miration is perfectly honest and not based on woman's inability to appre- ciate woman, as he chooses to think.

Among the many fallacies which men really enjoy holding about the other sex is the cherished delusion in the beauty of other women.
 I lunched in town yesterday. At my table a group of three young to middle-aged women were chatting to- gether, and of course I could not help hearing what they said.
 And what do you think was the chief topic of their conversation? Not business, nor men, nor clothes, nor questions of the day. No, three quarters of the time these women talked about a pretty girl who had her likeness to another pretty girl whom they knew.
 Could Man Say More?
 "When I see a pretty girl, ujst of the women. And the others agreed.
 Could a man say more? Perhaps some cynic will remind me that by my own admission these women were middle-aged and might be able to take a more unprejudiced interest in other women's beauty than a younger wo- man.
 Perhaps, but I happen to know younger women who feel the same.
 One of my friends unquestionab1y takes more interest in a pretty girl than her husband does. I have seen her sit in restaurant, her food al-

Sure that she is not what he had hoped, he breaches a sermon the Sunday of the announcement in which he draws parallel between the case of the girl who sells herself for gain and the girl who dispOses of her beauty in the market of vain desire. The scandal that follows breaks up the engage ment of Helen and the count; and also drives the young minister from his pulpit. He takes up the study of med icine, while Helen goes into settle ment work. And working together down in the slums, they come to their great understanding.
 In addition to the above the Para mount Plays will offer the beautiful Blanche Sweet in '"The Thousand Dol lar Husband" a feature we'll adapted to the talents of this versatile young lady. The balance of the program for these two days will be made up of a comedy and a topical review.

Why Madge Said to Lillian ''I'u Do
 Just as You Say.''

"Of course it's that Draper cat," said tion in her voice was a salve to my wounded pride.
 Then you know" I faltered.
 'Of course I know, you poor child;

 been, although Dicky doesn't dream
 that I gathered that from his in genous plea for the lady"
 My brain whirled. Dicky making
 an ingenous pleea to Lillian Under
 wood for his protege, Grace Draper!
 I could not understand it. My husbands increasing interest in his beautiful model had caused me much unhappiness during my summer in Marvin. Lillian Underwood, two days after my mother-in-law's depar- ture on a visit, had invited me to lunch with her in town, saying she had omething important to tell me And over our ices on the Tartleton terraces overlooking the Hudson she had asked me to invite her to our home intimating that Dicky needed her discipline.
 "If Dicky has spoken of my feeling toward Miss Draper even to you," began stormily, feeling every instinct outra ged.
 Don't, dear child" Mrs Under 1 wood reached her firm, cool hand ecross the table, and put it over my hot, trembling fingers. You cant fight this thing by getting angry, o1 by jumping at conclusions. Now listen to me-

 How Lillian Knew About It. "You see," she went on, There's where I got my little side light on the situation. Dicky comes to me and

MORE CARS NEEDED
Railroads Must Have 6,75O Extra Coaches Permanently at Disposal of War Department to Move Troops.

Chicago, July 20.-In order to move the maximum number of troops on short notice the railroads of the country must have 6,75O more cars permanently at the call of the war de- partment, according to W. J. Black, passenger traffic manager of the At chison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, in a statement here today. Such an increase, he said, would allow the movement of 1,750,000 troops within forty-eight hours.
 MT. Black says the railroads now have a surplus of about 5000 passen- ger cars. With fifty men to a car these would accommodate 100000. Including 2,500 sleeping cars of all kinds, 87,500 additional, or total of +S7,500 men could be transported at one time without disturbing com mercial business.

make Dicky fall in love with her, but she isn't going to succeed"
 But I am afraid she has suc- ceeded." The wall broke from me almost without my own volition.
 'Why?" The monosyllable was sharp with anxiety.
 I knew better than to keep any part of the story from her. I told her of Dicky's growing coldness to me, his anxiety to get the train upon which Miss Draper travelled, the neighbor- hood gossip, his determination not to have me meet her sister. I also laid bare the coldness with which I had treated the girl, and my determina- ton never to say a word which would lead Dicky to believe I was jealous Of her.
 When I had finished Lillian leaned back in her chair and laughed lightly.
 "1s that all?" she demanded. T thought you had something really serious to tell me. If you'll do exact ly as tell you we'll beat this game hands down.
 'I'll do just as you say" I re- sponded although it humiliated me to be put in the position of trying to beat any game, the stake of which was my husbands affections.
 Well, then until I get there be just IS nice as you can be to Dicky and tnaw gradually toward the Draper girl. Don't do it too quickly, else Dicky will suspect something. You can drop an adroit hint that I seem to admire her so much that perhaps you have been prejudiced against her Go to see her. Invite her over to eat or play tennis or tease the cat, any thing to get her there. Let me see This is Monday You ought to be quite chummy with her by Saturday when I arrive on the scene. The only trouble about my coming is that Harry will insist upon coming along I can manage him, but I am afraid you will find two guests a tax upon your hOspitality.''
 "Indeed, mo-" I answered heartily although my heart sank at the pros pect of having Harry Underwood as a guest in my house for a week. Well then, that is settled,'' she said, rising ''Now for the first gun of the campaign. Call Dicky up, tell him you just lunched with me, and that you are ready to go home any time he is.''
 "Oh, I can't do that" I said. q couldn't bear to feel that he might prefer to take the train with her. Lillian came to my side, gripped my shoulder hard, and looked into my eyes grimly.
 See here,' she said, "are you go- ing to be a baby or a woman in this thing?"
 I swallowed hard. I knew she was right.
 "Ill do whatever you wish,' I re- sponded meekly
