rid of the complaint. / had other
symptoms of kidney trouble and was
feeling miserable when Doan's Kid
ney Pills were brought to my atten-

first box helped me so much that
continued taking them. This medi-
cine cured me-"
On September 9, 1916, Mrs. Coon
added: II am just as glad to recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills today as

complaint of long-standing. Should
I need kidney medicine again, !

Pills"

Nervous Men Not
 Wanted in Armu
(By Review Leased Wire).

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Unusual pains will be taken to weed out of the war army all men whose nerves are in the least afflicted. Surgeon General Georgas has organized corps of 15O nerve specialists for the purpose and one of them will examine every man under training at the national army cantonments.
 An official statement today says that no man can be expected to make a good soldier under present methods of warfare if he has any organic nervous disease or if he is chronically addict ed to use of drugs or alcohol. These diseases, says the statement, are very likely to escape the scrutiny of those who conduct the admission physical examination.

 Attack upon the conference re- port was opened by Senator Reed in a two-hour speech. which he concluded by stating that he had just begun" his remarks. The senate recessed at the conclusion of his address until Monday when he expected ts resume. The Mis- souri senator renewed his criti- cism of Herbert Hoover, prospec- tive food administrator, and de- clared action of congress general ly and the food bill conferees in particular for cringing under the official lash"

GENERAL MANAGER OF COPPER QUEEN WILL
 MOVE 10 DISTRICT

c. H. Dowell, general manager of the Copper Queen. will move from Doug las to Bisbee in the near future and make this place his permanent resi- dence as we'll as his business head quarters. This announcement was made yesterday from the Copper Queen general offices.
 It will be welcome news to Bisbee. While MT. Dowell. ever since assum. ing charge of the Copper Queen inter- ests, has spent several days of each week here, and during the strike all of his time in this city, yet as long as his home was in the Shelter City, Bisbee could not claim him entirely for her own.
 Bisbee business men came to find out during the trying time of the strike that this quiet, rather reserved man possessed great force of charac- ter and kindliness and qualities of leadership. His calmness during the strike became proverbial and inspir- cd confidence about him.
 Mir Dowell will be a great acquisi- ton to the> district because of his keen interest in every municipal movement that is progressive and that will tend to improve and enlarge and beautify the, city He is leader in Y. M. C. A work. He loves Arizona, and more especially this cleft in the mountains that has been transformed into one of the wonder cities of the world. He has been engaged in the mining and smelling business in var ious positions of trust and respectful ity for many years with headquarters in various sections of this southwest country, but any one who ever heard him talk of Bisbee and her climate and her mountain peaks and the great canyon all the way from the divide down to Warren. knows that his heart has always been here with the Cop per Queen.
 MT. Dowell will build in Warren as soon as plans are drawn and approv- ed for a residence.

cal defects. Sixty-ive asked to be ex- empted. divided as follows: Fifty seven having dependents. two having religious scruples, four being aliens. one being in the military service of the country and one being an enemy alien.
 These figures disclose, upon exami- nation. that 65 per cent of all those who appeared before the physicians asked for exemption. It also shows that, if all the exemptions are granted, but one man out of four will be liable for service in the national army. As pessimistic as these figures are. how ever. the facts are more so.
 It will be noticed that or the I4c men examined but six were aliens. This proportion is small when the list Of those registered is examined care fully into The per centage of four men 10 every one drafted is too large. IL will hs nearer five to one or five ana !one-hs'f to one. Another feature of yesterdays examination is that most of those examined were Americans who have better than ordinary good health and few exemptions.

qualifications, this does not apply, as they are not cases where exemption is claimed but are the result of rejec. ton by a board
 Rapid Strides Made.
 Officials believe the effect of this order will be to curb applications for exemption to a large extent. Men who do not have legitimate excuses are not expected to court the scorn of neighbors who would recognize their weakness of pleas when pub lished. Men whose cases are clear, however, and who are entitled to e1- emption, officials believe, will be glad to have their neighbors know their circumstances and that it is not lack of patriotism or fear which has prompted them to seek relief from military service. Exemption in such cases, officials declare, will be gener- ally approved and the parents and rel. atiyes of boys who will be taken are entitled to know why the boys of their neighbors were not taken.
 Far from regarding the progress Of the selection process as slow. General Crowder believes rapid strides are be- ing made. If reports were available tonight, he said. from each of the 4,600 local boards, it would be shown that many thousands of men already have been passed and now are merely await ing orders to join the colors. An ac- curate estimate of the number in this class is not available.
