THE BEST TEST


Years ago this Emmett resident told
of good results from using Doan's
Kidney Pills. Now w. J. Logan of
D. & C. Addition confirms the former
statement-says there has been no
return of the trouble. Can Emmett
people ask for more convincing tes-
timony?
Mr.. Logan says: 81 was troubled
by the irregular action of my kidneys
and when the kidney secretions were
passing, they seemed to burn. A
steady, dull pain in my back annoyed
me and whenever stopped, it was al
most impossible for me to straighten
on account of sharp pains that dart
ed through my kidneys. l had to
work all stopped over about seven
hours a day and this made my back
much worse. Two boxes of Doan's
Kidney Pills fixed me up all right"

Washington. May 1.-Two impor-

Germanys assurances.

States will consider Germany's reply
satisfactory and that the danger OF a
diplomatic break has passed Count
Won Bernstorff denied today that there
is any ambiguity or evasion in the
German reply A question about
which official Washington has been
concerned in the last four hours is
whether the phrase in the orders to

ferred to principles of visit and search.
and not to the character of merchant
vessels.

The new instructions issued by the
German admiralty, it was said. are
perfectly clear in the original text.
Germany, 1t was said. had not given

that Great Britain would be held to

Ii had made the longest flight ever
made by a machine of its peculiar
type. The distance covered from the
point OF it's departure at Newport
News to the point at which il touched
the water, between Fort Carroll and
Fort McHcnrf, was figured as ITS
miles. The longest distance previous
ly covered was so miles.
AT the same time the machine was

1t was in the air > hours SO minutes

the matter of speed,
At Fort Carroll the machine took to
the water, and finally anchored off
Fort McHenry. Captain MacAuIey
told OF the fight he and his crew had
with young cyclone that struck his
craft off the mouth OF the Patuxent

about as feather in a gale, and how
finally they battled their way through
