AMERICA HAS TYPE OF MEN
FOR THE AIR SERVICE

LONDON, May 19.-America has the
type of young men who will be most
valuable for the air service, a high
authority said today, in suggesting
ways in which the United States can
help win the war.
Air battles increase in size and inn
portance of effect daily, and England
ard France are mobilizing some OF
their finest fighters for this branch of
the service.
The type of man best fitted for aer-
ial warfare is typically American
young, aggressive, keen and healthy
and English military authorities look
for the greatest assistance from an
American air corps, once one gets into
operation on the west front

The BEST TEST
Is the Test of Time

Years ago this Americas resident
told of good results from using Doan's
Kidney Pills. Now A. c. Alexander,
grocer, of 712 Spring St, confirms the
former statement-says there has
been no return of the trouble. Can
Americas people ask for more con-
viHcing testimony?
Mr.. Alexander says: MY back
caused me much suffering and 1 was
hardly able to perform my duties on
account of the pains. The action Of
my kidneys was very irregular and
too frequent. causing me to get up a
number of times at night. Doans
Kidney Pills soon relieved me of tho
pain in my back and the action of my
kidneys became regular. The pains
left and I have never felt them since"
Statement given March is, 1910.
A Permanent Cure.
On June 16, 1914, Mr.. Alexander
said: "Doan's Kidney Pills made a
cure for me which has proven perma-
nent and now my back and kidneys
don't bother me a bit"

simply ask for kidney remedy-ge:

TRIAL OF POWELL FOR
MURDER OF ASHFORD STILL on

ATLANTA Ga, May ia large
blackboard on which the witness was
requested to designate the location Of
the body of Thomas D. Ashford when
it was found on Peachtree road last
fall was a unique feature introduced
in the defense of George Powell, the
wealthy Fulton county farmer who is
charged with causing Ashford's death
by striking him in an alteration in a
downtown hotel, after which Ashford
is alleged to have taken a trolley car
to his home and fallen unconscious
when he stepped off where they found
him on Peachtree road.
The case is one of the most unusual
ever tried in Fulton county, as it in
wolves the theory by the prosecution
that Ashford died several hours after
the alteration, from a blow which did
not appear to hurt him when it was
struck, and that Powell knew nothing
Of Ashford's death until the follow
ing day when he read it in the news
papers. The blackboard was used by
Attorney Reuben r. Arnold, who is de-
Tending Powell, a wealthy farmer, and
was intended to show that Ashford was
struck by an automobile or motorcycle
when he stepped off the car.

MINERS CLAM l R FOR BRIDGE AT
 n!z!h|A NJ!

MCCARTHY, Oct. 13. - A feeling and prospectors of this section over the failure of the territorial officials to carry out the project for construct ing a bridge across the Nizina river, for which purpose the last legislature appropriated the sum of $25.00O and a movement is on foot here to secure the construction of the bridge so that it may be in readiness for the spring travel. Much indignation is expressed at the negligence of the officials in charge of this work, and this feeling is increased by the fact that during the past season three persons have lost their lives in attempting to cross this river, and during the past few years the river has taken a toll of no less than fifty lives.
 The Nizina is turbulent river at all times, and even when at it's lowest stage is dangerous to ford. It forms an almost impossible barrier to the road leading to the rich placer dig gings of the Chititu. Young and Dan creeks and the Chisana district, and has done much to retard the develop. ment of that section of the country. Several years ago the Alaska road commission built a bridge across the river but it only stood one season, and was taken out by high water and ice the next spring A new site for a bridge has been selected, and it is believed that with the money appro. priated, substantial bridge can be constructed which will stand for years, and which will prove an important factor in the development of one of the richest sections of Alaska.

EVANS AND SPOKANE LIN
 THIS RUN

Beginning perhaps on the first of November, the Pacific Steamship Com. pany will operate the steamers Spo. kane and Admiral Evans on the south. western Alaska route on a 20-day sche. dule. Incidentally, freight and passen. ger rates will be raised, but no ad. vance over the present tariffs of either is expected to be made before next spring.
 c. E. Eye, travelling freight and pas. senger agent for the Pacific Steam ship Company, made the above state. ment regarding the steamer service and the change in rates.
 Tt has always been our policy to make repairs on our steamers during the winter months." said Mir. Five. and for that reason the Spokane and Evans will be operated while the Far. ragut and Watson are being repaired in Seattle or are taking the place of steamers on the Seattle-Frisco route which are to receive their annual over hauling. Both steamers are well adap- ted to handle the winter travel to Alas ko. The Spokane has been on the southeastern Alaska route during the past season,
 Regarding the increase in passen- ger and freight rates. that is neces- sary owing to the increase in cost of operation and upkeep. One item alone has been added to our operating ex- penses which is an example This item is only $74O,OOO, additional for oil for fuel. Labor in every depart ment has demanded and been given an increase in wages Boiler tubes and every part of material on steam CTS have increased in cost. Provisions have also, as any housewife knows, taken a big advance in cost. This in. crease has been, on various items, from 150 to 300 per cent. No busi- ness can operate at loss, therefore an adjustment of rates must be made. "

CANAL BY TAXES
 4OO MILE h"H
 < IH l. -s, i..~,- HILL .-~s
(By Associated Press)

FORT BLISS, Texas, Oct. 15. --- Cavalrymen have taken much interest in the 400 mile cavalry ride which has made from Douglas, Arizona, and from here by sling and saber, which were designed by the department. A sufficient number of them sent here to equip two of the four troops mak- ing the test ride.
 The most interest is being manifest ed in the test of the new saddle which is known as "the 1917 model" and which was designed to replace the old Mcclellan saddle, which has been in use in the army for many years. The saddle is described as a cross between a Texas cowboy saddle and a flat rid ing saddle. It has a high pommel, arched as is the cowboy saddle, but
 has no horn. The back of the saddle slopes more than the COW or McClel- Ian saddle. The weight is distributed evenly and pockets are provided for surplus equipment. The saddle is said by cavalary officers to be more roomy than the Mcclellan, and especially ! we'll designed for men who are large
 or heavy in the saddle.
 The new saber is strictly thrust ing saber, two edged and with a large grip like fencing sword The saber
 is especially popular with the cavalry men. The bridle has the curb and snaffle fastened to the cheek strap,
 with snaps, and this was the only | weakness found in the saddle, as of
 ficers said these snaps were easily
 unfastened by a nervous horse.
 ] The rifle sling has a clip attached
 which holds the rifle too the riders
 back with the barrel protruding over | the left shoulder after the manner of
 Mexican cavalry rifles or carbines
 This is substitute for the rifle boot
 on the old cavalry equipment, by
 means of which the rifle was held
 perpendicular beside the rider.

MILES CITY, Mont, Oct. 15. - Al ter having been rejected five times by recruiting officers for enlistment into various branches of Uncle Sans fight ing forces. Mark B. Lindsay, of this city, has at last earned the right to wear the United States uniform.
 After his fifth rejection he took the matter up direct with the war depart ment at Washington, and at the same time wrote to the Canadian military authorities. Before he received a re ply from either, however, his mother wrote to him, asking why he had not enlisted. So he tried the hospital ser vice, and found that his physical de fleets did not bar him from enlistment there.

HAWAII BE GINS STIMULATION
 FOODSTUFFS
(By Associated Press)

MANILA, Oct. 13. - The emergency board, organized to provide funds out side of the regular government apprO- priations for any unexpected need of the authorities, has voted $26,500 to be expended upon the campaign for the stimulation of the production of foodstuffs throughout the Philippines. The money is to be spent in the pur- chase of seeds, their distribution the purchase of tools, the employment of personnel for the movement and ad- vertising.
 This is a result of the urgent re- quests of the food committee recently appointed by Governor General Harri- son to look into the prospects of fu- ture food conditions This committee made a tentative food census of the islands and expressed the belief that immediate steps for stimulating food production were necessary.
 Already start has been made. The bureau of agriculture through it's in. spectors, has been hammering away at the question of food production for many months with the result that this years crop of rice, the food staple for the Filipino people. is greater than last years, which was itself almost a record. The bureau has also con. ducted campaign to stimulate the cultivation of corn and of home gar. dens and this is beginning to show re suits.
 The bureau of education has also taken hand in educating the people to the need and possibility of increased food cultivation and in actual cultiva tion, Orders have gone forth that all school gardens must redouble their production this year. Counties are tc be given school teachers and agricul tural inspectors for promoting and in specting private vegetable gardens.
 The food board is planning to stimu late also hog and poultry raising. Il hopes to readjust steamer routes SC that crops may be brought easily tc centers of purchase. It will make ar effort to introduce profitable meth ods of purchasing. It will ask the Phil ippine congress, which convenes thi, month, to pass legislation for price re gulation. It may even go so far as tt ask for the appointment of a food die tator.

BRIT A1N'S FQOD CONTROLLER !
 IN JOB .... ..,.. ,.

LONDON, Oct. 15. - The best sum- mary of Great Britains food control plan is given by Lord Rhondda. the controller, in the first issue of the new forthnightly magazine he has begun to publish under the title of The Ma tiOnal Food Journal" Lord Rhond- da states
 My policy, broadly stated is to fix the prices of those articles of prime necessity over the supply of which I can obtain effective control at all stages from the producer down to the retailer. Such prices will, as far as possible, be fixed on the principle of allowing a reasonable pre-war profit to those engaged in the production and distribution of the particular com modity. Indeed, the policy will be one in effect of determining profits at every stage, though it will take the form of fixing prices.
 Every effort will be made to pre- vent speculation and unnecessary mid dlemen will be eliminated Existing agencies - 1 make a strong point of this will be utilized for purposes of distribution under license and con- trOl, and under the supervision of To- cal food controllers to be appointed by the local authorities.
 q am anxious that producer, seller and consumer should realize that prices are not being interfered with in a naphazard way or without purpose. While l am primarily concerned with the protection of the consumers. I have to see that the legitimate inter- ests of food producers and other trad CTS are safeguarded, and above all to avoid as far as practicable action which may tend to curtail the neces- sary supplies.
 Tt is, of course, impossible that in this crisis supplies can be provided to the same extent or with such regular ity as in times of peace, and the con sumer should also understand that he must of necessity pay high prices. My object is to see that supplies are forth coming as far as they are available, and that the prices are not excessive.
 T am glad to be able to say that the general position of our essential food supplies is satisfactory. but cannot urge too strongly on everyone the ab- soluts need for economy in the sso of arI foodstaffs,"
