RECORD OF THE PAST
No Stronger Evidence Can
Be Had in Bridgeport.


Look we'll to their record. What
they have done many times in years
gone by is the best guarantee of fu-
ture results. Anyone with a bad back;
any reader suffering from urinary
troubles, from kidney ills, should find
comforting words in the following
statement.
Mrs. George Ho1ste, S97 N. Washing
ton Ave-, Bridgeport, gave the follow
ing account of her experience on Sep
TENDER 25, 1914 She said: my back
ached and I had pains across my 1oins.
In the morning was sore and lame
and had headaches and dizzy spells
The kidney secretions were irregular
in passage. Colds settled on my kid
neys and I suffered awfu11y from
rheumatic pains. I doctored and took
different medicines but nothing did me
any good until used Doan's Kidney
Pills They soon relieved me of all
symptoms of kidney trouble and rheu-
matte palms,
DOAN'S NEVER FAIL.
On November 10, 1915, Mrs. Holste
said: ''I always receive the best of re-
suits whenever I use Doan's Kidney
Pills. They are wonderful medicine

Whiskers and
More Whiskers
For Fairbanks

The theme of Flirting With
Fate" the new Triangle release
starring Douglas Fairbanks,
which opened today at the Re-
gent, may be stated as "the evils
that Turk in whiskers." This does
not refer to germs, but to dis
guises.
Fairbanks wears them; the de-
tective on his trail wears them;
and the villain wears them. While
Fairbanks was walking about the
studio with his private set of
whiskers. one of the cowboys who
played with him in 1.-THE Good
Bad-Man" stopped opposite him
and drawled, Come out from be-
hind them whiskers, Doug Fair
banks. We-all know you're hair,
cause we kin Sc yer ears a-wag-

MARTY FOLEY
GETS A DRAW
WITH BATTLER

Martin Foley, we'll known Ia
coma lightweight, returned home
Wednesday afternoon after box
ing a draw with Nick Sugar, the
battling Greek, at Everett the
previous evening. Foley met the
best man he has yet gone up
against, and acquitted himself
creditably. Sugar is one of the
toughest fighters of the north
Sound district. Foley stayed on
his feet all the way, and gave
as good as he took. Friends who
witnessed the bout say that the
Tacoma lad showed a marked
Improvement over his previous ap-
pearance in the ring. The match
was the semi-windup.
Harry Bishop of Tacoma was
knocked out in the second round
by Frank Burns of Calgary. Chef
Neff won decision over frankie
Sullivan. Madden won from Taro
tn the third round.

The women had played a ter

the first set and Miss Myers cap
turing the following two. AS they
stepped to the net to shake hands
after the match, Mrs. Cushing
dropped to the pavement. She
was carried to the club house and
revived in short time, little the
worse for her experience.
John Strachan. probably the
best player in the tournament,
won his way into the semi-finals
by defeating Fulton 6-3, 6-1. To-

the semi-finals in mems singles,

Duesenberg Car Goes "Only
100 Miles An Hour" Take
Motor Apart to Find Cause

With the race but two days
away, Father Time is getting
some severe jolts at the Tacoma
Speedway. The best known driv-
ers In the racing world are the at
lacking force. Saturday after
noon will see the master drivers
of the speed world battle in their
high powered racing machines for
$4,000 in prizes offered by the
Tacoma Speedway association and
a chance at the additional $751;
600 offered by the Goodrich Tire
company and Bosch Magnetic COM
pany for the American champion
ship, decided on the point system.
Small wonder is it then that
each driver and his crew of help
ers are straining every nerve to
develop speed, speed, speed and
then more speed. Cars are taken
to the track and hurled around
the two mile circuit at rate Of
more than 100 miles an hour and
still the drivers are not satisfied.
They return to their garages and
the machines are taken down and
overhauled and again sent to the
track for new trials.

courts of the Tacoma Lawn Tennis
club, expected to see some OF the
most sensation tennis ever staged
here. Already the players have
begun to extend themselves to the

the leading players are evenly

contests.

Appreciation of Mr.. Meigs.

Correspondence of The Journal.
We never had the the pleasure OF
meeting the grand old man of Win
gate, who so Interestingly entertain
ed us with his semi-weekly letters,
vet we have felt for years that we
were intimately acquainted with him.
We remember with pleasure and,
hope with profit also, the articles he
gave use some years ago over the
signature of Uncle 0see". and when
he dropped this title and adopted the
one over which his later writings ap-
peared, we could see the appropriate
ness of the change.
We were sorry indeed when the
account of his departure confronted
us on The Journals front page. The
world needs such men more at this
time than usual. seemingly. yet when
their task has been finished the
world must do without them,
We feel sure that the bright future
pictured to us by him will verify the
fact that the life he lived among us
will bear fruit in the ripening years
of the immediate future. That will
remind US often OF the vision he had
into the coming period OF time into
which we are entering. \ greater
degree of optimism on our part will
hasten the much desired state for
which we long. Are we ready for
anything better Novus Homo

Not 80 Rash.

Mr.. Bryan was not 50 rash after all
when he declared that the Democratic
party must go dry in the next four
years. Twenty-three States are now
dry and the most of them are Demo-
cratic States. Michigan. Nebraska.
South Dakota and Montana are the
four States which Joined the dry
column on Nov. Z. Missouri was kept
out only by the breweries of ST. Louis,
At present SIS per cent of the terrific
ny of the country is now dry either
by State action or local option, and
So per cent of the total population
has banished the saloon. Prohibition
is said to be a Southern and Western
idea. and as these were the Demo-
cratic sections this year Mr.. Bryan
argues that the party can well afford
