What Charles Town Wants To Know.
The Answer Is Found in the State
ment of a Charles Town Resident.

From week to week, from year to
year, there have been appearing in
these columns statements made by
neighbors, which we have all read
with great interest, and many of us
with great profit But what we want
to know is, do they stand the greatest
test of all-the test of time? Here
is conclusive evidence on this point
from a Charles Town woman.
Mrs. Ida Pentz, 401 w. Washington
ST., gave the following account of
her experience on May 2, 1918: "For
several years | had spells of back
ache and other symptoms of kidney
trouble. My kidneys acted irregular
ly and caused a good deal of pain
through my back and loins and when
| bent over, had trouble in straigh-
tening. A couple boxes of. Doan's
Kidney Pills were enough to relieve
the backaches and pains and restore
my kidneys to a normal condition"
LASTING BENEFIT.
Over three years later, or on De-
eember 10, 1916, Mrs. Pentz said:
1.-TWO boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills.
which | procured at Brown & Hooff's
Drug Store, cured me and | know the
cure is permanent"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Pentz had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

Shepherdstown is to have water at
last. A water company was organ
lied year or two ago and planned
to get a water supply from wells.
Holes were bored in a number of loca-
tons, some of them selected by water
"smellers" with the fsrked stick for
an indicator. Not finding enough
water in any the wells, the company
changed its plans, deciding to get
water from the Potomac. A pump-
ing and filtration plant was installed
in the old paper mill near the wagon
bridge. The work has been completed
and on Monday water was turned into
the mains.

DISCOURAGES GIVING OF
 CHRISTMAS PRESENTS

Little Rock. July 30.-The Council of National Defense, through the State Council, has reiterated its pol icy of discouraging the giving and sending of Christmas presents during the war
 The policy of the Council has been determined upon as a necessary meas ure of economy. It was adopted for the sake of saving the labor and ma terials which usually go into the manufacture of Christmas gifts, the labor required to handle the Christ mas rush in retail stores, and the transportation facilities of the nation railroads, express companies and mills. Labor, materials and trans portation facilities of the nation-all must be conserved this year for war purposes. The labor which ordinarily goes into the manufacture or sale of Christmas articles can be utilized in munitions plants, shipyards, and other ofrms of war work.

CHANGES IN DRAFT
 ACT ARE DISCUSSED
Would Give Men Who Tried to Volunteer Benefit of Effort Senator Kirby Opposes Reduc- tiOn of Age.

Washington, July Exchanges in the selective service act were dis cussed at today's semiweekly meeting of the Senate, but the House held only a five-minute session.
 A resolution introduced by Senator Sterling of South Dakota, and re- ferred to the military committee, ask ing the secretary of war whether men who tried to volunteer but were re- jected for physical disability and haze since been drafted may be transferred to volunteer organizations, was the vehicle of Senate debate. Senator Sterling said it was unjust to have been rejected as volunteers and then forced into draft organizations after a change in the physical standards
 Senator Johnson of California said that in the new law being considered to extend the draft ages, which would be before Congress within 30 days. the question of prohibiting ali V0iun- teering is being disputed.
 Senator Nelson of Minnesota called attention to the praise by Secretary Daniels of the marines between IS and Fl who have been in the recent fight ing in France and declared youths of those ages make the best soldiers
 Opposing reduction of the mini mum draft age, Senator Kirby said he believed the draft age should and will be extended, not because the country's man power within the draft ages is insufficient, but because men above 31 without dependents should be made to serve.

Washington, July 29.-While no off, cial notice of the breach of relations between Turkey and Germany-or rather the central powers, for without doubt Austria is involved with Ger many in the dispute with the Otto- man government-has reached Wash ington, officials expressed little sur prise tonight at the Copenhagen dis patch received from London saving that Germany and Turkey had sev- cred relations. In official circles here for some time past it has been real ized that in her efforts to serve both Turkey and Bulgaria in the division of spells, resulting from the enforced treaty with Roumania, Germany had incurred the i'll will of both her allies.
 Following the conclusion of the peace treaty with Roumania at Jassy. both Turkey and Bulgaria laid claim to much of the territory which Rou- mania had been forced to cede to her enemies. Included in these claims was the title to the railway running from Adrianople to Deadeagatch and this became the source of the greatest contention between the two allied na tions. Germany for some time en- deavored to induce the two countries to settle this dispute amicably. by suggesting that the nation which failed to obtain the railway should re- celve other compensations.
 Belief in Turkey that favoritism was being shown Bulgaria by Ger many in the negotiations, according to recent dispatches received here. caused a rapid growth of anti-German feeling in Constantinople. A shortage of food, weariness of the war. and dis satisfaction with the Young Turk party because of its submission to German control recently found ex- pression in Constantinople in food riots and munitions uprisings which have been sternly suppressed by the military authorities.

SEWERS
 RELATIONS WITH
 CENTRAL POWERS
Report Arrives in Round About Way But is Believed True Trouble Has Been Brewing For Some Time.

London, July 29.-"The relations between Germany and Turkey have been severed, according to direct in- formation from Constantinople."
 This announcement is made by the Copenhagen correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company.
 The excitement against Germany. the advices further say, has been growing, particularly after last weeks events. The Germans recently de- manded the cruiser Hamidieh, the only large ship then in possession of Turkey, as compensation for the Bres- lau, the former German cruiser which was destroyed in the Dardanelles while under the Turkish flag. Despite Turkeys protest the Hamidieh has de- parted for Sebastopol with the Ger- man flag flying.
