Why It Succeeds
Because It's for One Thing Only,
 And People Appreciate This.

Nothing can be good for every thing.
 Doing one thing well brings sue ccss.
 DOan's Kidney Pills are for one thing only.
 For weak or disordered kidneys.
 Here is reliable evidence of their worth.
 Wm. A. Quayle prop. electric motor repair shop, 991 Harrison St., san Francisco, Calif., says: "I was troubled with my kidneys for about two months. The kidney secretions wlre profuse and highly colored and I had to get up four or five times at night to pass them. l worked in a lead mine a number of years ago and think that was the cause of my trouble. I became wor- ried and went to a drug store and asked for the best kidney medicine. Doan's Kidney Pills promptly re- moved the trouble with my kidneys and have had no sign of it since"
 OVER A YEAR LATER Mir. QuayIa said: ''Never in my life have I enjoyed such good health as I an now having. I give Doans' Kidney Pills all the credit for they rid me of kidney trouble"
 Price COG, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mir. Quayle had Foster-Mil- burn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

KNIT SOCKS
 BY MACHINES

Washington, Feb. To keep
 pace with the demand for wOolen socks for sailors and soldiers, the Comforts Committee of the Navy Leasue has placed an initial order fer ten sock knitting machines,
 which will be installed in the wash ipgtsu headquarters. These ma chiues will turn out in an hour a oa!r of knitted socks which require the most expert worker two days to make by hand. Ordinarily from four to seven days are spent in making one pair of socks. The Comforts Committee has found it impossible to supply all of the requests for socks and has decided, therefore, to suppnment with machines the work Of the thousands of women now en- gagel in knitting socks. If the machines prove successful they will be installed in Comforts Committee offices as quickly as they can be bought.
 At the present time women come to the Navy League shops, buy wool, ard take 1t home with them to make the garments. Henceforth, rwhen they come to the Washington shop, they will be told that if they desire, their wool will be put on the machines for them and their socks fer the fighting men will be provid- cd just that much quicker. Ma chine knitted garments, it is true, are net quite so good as those made by hand It is said that the hand knitted cnes will last three times as lohV as those made by machines, but at the present moment, with thousands of men in need of socks, it is obviously not expedient to try too much for quality. Quantity pro duction is the thing most necessary. Moreover, the machine made socks are in standard sizes and are gen erally quite satisfactory to the men.
 Workers are now being trained for he Comforts Committee to oper- ate the knitting machines. For the preser. the work will only be done in Washington but any women not living in Washington can send either wool or money in payment for wool to the Washington office of the Com forts Committee, 1416 H Street, and socks will be knitted on the ma chimes for their order.

I. r. and Taft Buried
Hatchet at Sickbed
Washington Hears of Recon-
Citation During Colonel's
Illness
IStof Correspondence

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The old
feud between Theodore Roosevelt and
William Howard Taft has been really
and truly forgotten and forgiven, Re-
publican leaders in Washington de-
clared to-dayA The word has seeped
through from New York that during
the recent illness of the Colonel cx
President Taft visited him at the hos
pltal, and the two former friends de-
clded to eliminate the word former"
When the Colonel, little later. pre-
pared his speech to be delivered in
Maine, it is declared here, he sent a
copy of the manuscript to Mr.. Taft.
urging him to read it over and make
suggestions. Whereupon, it is said. he
IN whose interest the steam roller was
operated in Chicago in 1912 did that
very thing, and his suggestions were
adopted!
The 1916 much advertised reconcile
alton between Roosevelt and Taft" said
an old Republican politician who was
very much on the inside at the time
was snare and a delusion. That
momentary greeting really famed the
flame of resentment. AS recently as
on the Colonel's visit to Washington
several months ago there had been no
real reconciliation. But now it is the
real thing. Mr.. Taft did a most gra
clous thing in calling on the Colonel.
The Colonel responded nobly by sub
hitting his speech to Mr.. Taft If the
Colonel should be the candidate of the
Republican party in 1920-and | trust
he will--there will be no camouf1age
about his support by Mr.. Taft and his
friends"

Subway Contractors
Face Labor Dearth
They Declare Many of Their
Workers Are Entering Fed
eral Employ

Inc labor situation on the new SUBJ
way lines has become so serious that
conference was held yesterday be-
tween Chairman Straus of the Public
Service Commission and the contrac-
tors who still have uncompIeted con-
struction work. The contractors are
finding it impossible to compete with
the present wages offered by the Fed
eral government in connection with war
work, and hundreds of !aborers are
quitting the subway work for govern
ment employment.
The Public Service Commission is-
sued statehntnt yesterday, referring
to the withdrawal of the laborers as
reported strikes" on various sections
or the new subways under construction;
Inc contractors, however, contended
ehat there were nc strikes. but tne
men were simply leaving for higher
wages In government employ.
The situation has reached the point,
1T was said, where it may necessitass
a shutdown of work on several OF the
twenty-elght contracts still uEcom.
pleted. Delays in the subway WORK
are costly to the city. ~
The contractors have repeatedly
asked for relief from the city and ing
Public Service Commission from their
present financial stress because of waR
conditions. They now have bill pena-
ing at Albany which would grant the
city and the commission power to per
nit them to finish the contracts at cost.
Mayor Hylan. however, is opposed y
the contractors bill.

Film Company Must
Pay Goodwin $500

Nat c. Goodwin, the actor, will be
able to indulge in vinegar baths" for
some time to some, for he recovered a
verdict for $4,000 in the Supreme
Court yesterday in suit against the
Mirror Film Company for back salary
at $1,250 a week.
Goodwin said that when he was dis
missed from the company, of which
he was the star, there we're eleven
weeks salary due him, amounting to
$3.50. The verdict includes interest,".
Clifford B. Harmon, president of tn.
Mirror Company, said he had to dis
charge Goodwin because he was always
late for work, due to the late hours
kept by the actor.
Mr.. Harmon said Goodwin had to
take vinegar baths to get himself in
shape for the days work Goodwin ad-
mitted he took the baths, but explained
that they soothed his nerves. He de-
MED that the vinegar additions were
a cure for the "katzenjammer," for
he never drank anything stronger than
bitters, which he took for indigestion.
