Murray Proves TO be a
Real Tennis Champion

NEW YORK. Sept. 1o:-The re-
markablo manner in which Robert
Lindlay Murray, tho California tennis
player, fought his way through the
recent National Championship singles
tournament at Forest Hills, n. T.,
has strongly impressed the most ex-
pert followers of the court game.
Murray entered the tournament with
out preliminary practice to speak OF
and only after considerable persuasion.
When he finally decided 10 compete
he went about the task IN q most
workmanlike manne and by steady
development of all portions OF his
game reached r height of playing
form which was considered impossible
by his critics who had followed his
belated entry and practice.
The new champion. who proved
himself a worthy successor to the
other Californian national title hold
ers, Maurice E.. Mclaughlin and VIZ
liam NJ. Johnston. was not helped in
any way by his position In the draw.
In act quite the contrary was true,
for he faced the very best OF the
eighty-odd- entrants during his prog
rass to the championship. His frs
match was comparatively easy when
he defeated Jack Dudley. h Wash

From John Jones

- 1880
My lear Mother,
Just a few lines to let you know I
received your welcomed letter and II
certainly has relieved my mind to
find out you are all well. The boys
are certainly doing great over here
and getting a good lot of credit by
the French people, also the Scots and
Australians. L want o to write to
me often and send me some newspa-
per clippings. We are getting along
fine. We are getting very good eats
but / sure would give my whole
months pay for one Of your meals.
It is not going to be a very hard Job
to satisfy the boys when they get
back. What do the people think of
the Sammies beating the kaiser's fav-
orites, the Prussian Guards? He
thought they could not be beaten.
You should hear the French. They
all say Bon American" which means
good.
We all feel happy and you can feel
assured that this is pretty nigh on to
a finish. The German people are pref
ty well disguised with the kaiser. He
said hat the Sammies were only a
joke but I think he Is finding 1t out
now. We do not have very much ex-
citement where we are now except
when there are air raids.
Do not worry about me as / am
taking very good care of myself. You
know I am here to do my bit for Ihe
good old u. s. and I am going TO do
my best. Il have q very fine tent
rate. He is n K. of c. man and
comes from Plainf1eld. We have some
great times planned for each other
when we get home.
I have seer some of those French
beauties there Is so much talk about.
None of them compare with my girl
back home. This place we are camp
ed in is quite a ways from church.
We get to mass just the same. l have
not missed since I have been over
here. Send me sisters picture, also
your own and Dads. 1 will have
mine taken when l get to some live
place. Regards to all of my friends.
Love to you, brothers and sisters.
You loving sol

same. 1t has been a long time since
1 have written home and 1 suppose
you people think 1 was dead when
you heard Leon Gardner was killed
over here. He was in the same COM
pany with me ever since we enlisted
together. I was with him the night
he was killed and helped bury him
the next day behind the first line of
trenches.
l have been in the trenches for the
past five months and also over the
top SIX times and came out without
a scratch. l suppose I was lucky to
go through 1t but you only have to
die once, so 1 should worry.
How Is everyone getting along in
Amboy? Tell your mother / have
met plenty of Highlanders and sure
do love to talk to them. The Ger
mans call them the Ladies of Hell"
When they see Jack and Sandy CON-
ing after them thev know they are in

chance at them and soon hope to
get another rack at them. 1 will
close now with love to all.

Not So Far That the Statements of Its Residents Cannot

Rather an interesting case has been developed in Prescott. Be- ing so near by, it is we'll worth publishing here. The statement is sincere-the proof convincing:
 Andrew Arnold, farmer, Box 217, Prescott, Ariz., says: My back was as sore as it could be and mornings could hardly go. 1 had to get up often at night to pass the kidney secretions. Some times there seemed to be little spots before my eyes and every thing would blurr. I suffered that way for two months without getting any help, until 1 finally tried Doan's Kidney Pills. Doan's soon cured me.
