TINE is THE TEST.

The Testimony of Alexandria People
Stands the Test.
The test of time is what tells the
tale. The public soon finds out when
misrepresentation are made, and
merit alone will stand the test of time.
Alexandria people appreciate merit,
and many months ago local citizens
publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills;
they do so still. Would a citizen
make the statement which follows ur-
less convinced that the article was
just az represented? Below is testi-
mony such as the sufferer from Kid
ney ills is looking for.
Mrs. &. W. Davis, 1G7 Prince St.,
Alexandria. says: doctors treated me
for along while and pronounced my
case of kidney trouble severe one.
Often I felt so listless and nervous,
almost gave up hope. Doan's Kidney
Pills brought me relief after every
thing failed. Doan's strengthened my
kidneys and removed the trouble"
THREE YEARS LATER Mrs.
Davis added: Il still take Doan's Kid
1ey Pills occasionally when my kid
neys don't act as they should. l al

TWO PAY PENALTY BY SUICIDE
Japanese Gatemen Whose Negligence
Causes Accident. End Their Lives

Causes Accident, End Their Lives
Tokyo, July 1.-Expiating their
negligence in manner which shows
that the old samurai spirit still reigns
in Japan, two railroad gate tenders
at a grade crossing near Tokyo Conf
nitted suicide when they learned that
through their carelessness a Japa-
nese traveller had been run over and
killed by a train. The victim of the
accident was Japanese banker, who
was crossing the tracks in a jinrikisha
when a freight train bore down and
crushed him.
The two watchmen were asleep.
When they realized what had hap
pencd they notified the authorities,
and then threw themselves on the
track before the next train. Several
leading officials attended the funeral
OF the gatemen and the obsequies were
marked with much ceremony.

.ALEXANDRIANS IN FRANCE

Intelligence has been received III
this city announcing the SAFE arrival
I'm France of the One Hundred and
Sixteenth Regiment which embraces
ssmost of oar soldiers who left here
aast fall for Camp Mcclellan, Annis-
ton, Ala, as members of the Alexan-
.dria Light Infantry. Our boys passed
through Alexandria about two weeks
I ago. The train reached here during
the night and anxious relatives and
friends gathered at the Union Sta
tion at that time and waited through
i out most of the night in order to get
glimpses of dear ones who volunteered
to fight for theft country. It was
known that they were being taken to
an Atlantic port whence they would
AN embark for the field OF war.
he dear ones they left behind have
;psnt anxious days and nights as
h.v have read of submarine work on
.as side of the globe, and have
y 5ed as they never had before that

-refl answered, and today these pa
Al IS are ming!ing with French, Brit
ism, Portuguese and other soldiers,
! ready to DO their part in the great
struggle for Liberty, not only to pre-
serve American free institutions, but
that democratic principles be main
tanned throughout the civilized world.
Old Alexandria has always re-
spcnded to the country,S call. Al
times some have raised the issue as
to whether or not oar soldiers Should
be sent outside the country to fight.
In 1916, waving this question, Alex
andrians went into Mexico and fought
for their country, and in 1898, when
the United States was forced into :;
war with Spain, young AleXandrians
walked through the streets Of their
native city with the national emblem
on the lapels Of their coats under
which were the words "Will 90 any
where" While the Alexandria conf
pany was not ordered ont OF the coun-
try during that short-li lived conflict,
young men of our city who were III
other places at the time enlisted and
served in Cuba. The same spirit ana
mates the American soldier of today
he, too, is ready to 60 anywhere.
May the God of Justice ana Right
defend our boys. He has blessed
them in the outgoing: May lie pre-
Aserve them upon the field OF battle
and getum them safe 10 their dear
ones at home.
