SIGNS OF DANGER
That Should Be Heeded by Bisbee
 PeopIe.

 There's serious danger in neglecting any weakness of the kidneys. The warning that Nature gives should not be overlooked. If troubled by bladder weakness; if you have backache, too, with frequent headaches and dizziness. make up your mind that your kidneys are affected and begin using some re- liable kidney remedy. Deaths from kidney disease have increased in the United States, alone, 72 per cent in the last 20 years. The risk is great-you can't afford to delay. Bisbee people recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. Can you ask for better proof of merit than the statement of this Bisbee resident?
 Mrs. John Gohrig. of Brewery Gulch, says: About two years ago I had a oontsant. nagging pain across the small of my back My kidneys were weak. As Doan's Kidney Pills were al ways so highly recommended, decided to try them. Doan's soon cured me and | haven't had any kidney trouble since"

 She has lost
 Except for insignificant corner in southern Africa all her colonies than a million square miles.

It is entirely in keeping with the po-
sition that Maine has been in the habit
of taking to learn Wednesday that the
first contingent of men in the selective
service or drafted men to reach Camp
Devens at Aver. Mass, the mobiliza-
ton camp, was T.. men from Maine,
80 in number, or two, more than the
quota call. Adjutant General Presson
talked by telephone Wednesday with
the post adjutant at Aver and was in
formed that it was a fine looking lot
of men-another Of the usual stories
when Maine men are concerned.
The contingent on time from Port
land, where the evening before they
had been finely entertained by the peo-
pie, refreshments and theatre enter
long evening wait for the train. The
boys were all in good spirits and
ready for any duty to which they
might be assigned.
The 5 per cent call from Maine
amounted to 81 men and the two extra
was accounted for by the fact that a
substitute went along with the Cd
Aroostook district mon and an extra
one was allowed Piscataquis county,
both men being anxious to go.
1t will be gratifying to all interest
ed in the men and the Maine regiments
to know that it is now understood that
the contingent just arriving at Camp
DeVens will go into training for the
heavy artillery and will probably be
assigned to the LIST Maine Heavy Field
Artillery, Colonel Balentine, the Mill
ken Regiment.
A dispatch from Camp Devens Tues
day night to the Springfield Union
said
Maj. Gen. Harry F. Hodges, COM
mander of the 18th division and his
staff today worked out a skeleton or
ganization. 1t was practically decided
TO assign the recruits from Maine and
part Of New Hampshire to the artil-
lerv sections. Height and strength are
factors in the selection of men from
light and heavy artillery and it is ex-
pected that men from the Northern
states will measure up to these re-
qulrements. The rest of the recruits
Will make up the infantry companies. .
