TESTED AND PROVEN.
There is a Heap of Solace in Being Able
to Depend Upon a Well Earned
Reputation.

For months Saratoga readers have
seen the constant expression of praise
for DOan's Kidney Pills, and read about
the good work they have done in this
locality. What other remedy ever pro-
duced such convincing proof of merit?
l.. j. Logan, sheep raiser, Third ST.,
Douglas, Wyo., says: Last summer I
had a dull pain through the small of
my back and at times the pain was
something fierce. 1 knew my kidneys
must be affected, so / got a box Of
Doan's Kidney Pills. That first box
helped me quite n bit, so l used three
more boxes and was entirely rid of
kidney complaint"
Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't SIM
ply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mr..
Logan had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs,

Pershing Did Not Ask Woods
Return.

Washington, May 3o.-Maj. Gen
Leonard Wood was not on the list Of
officers whom General Pershing asked
to have returned for duty with the
American expeditionary forces iii
France, according to an authoritative
statement obtained at the war depart
ment today. He will get an active
command, but not in Europe.
This explanation OF the order de-
taching General Wood from the Sotl7
division, which he had trained and en-
pected to accompany to France, has
apparently ended the incident. The
officer, according to his friends, is
entirely reconciled to the sudden
change of orders as result of his in
terview with President Wilson on
Tuesday, and subsequent conferences
with Secretary Baker and the chief OF
staff, General March.

in all its building house more than

The police have taken in custody an
Austrian. an enemy alien, who was
found without hat and coat, within the
stockade shortly after the fire was
discovered. They have refused to
divulge his name. He is said to reside
in the immediate vicinity of the arse

LOOKS FOR end
BRITTON SOLDIER CONFIDENT
WAR WILL SOON BE OVER.

Britton, March sergeant Nc
Vey, a former Britton boy, who soon
after the commencement of the war
enlisted in the Canadian army and
has seen much service in France and
Belgium, recently vas a visitor to
Britton, he having been granted a
brief furlough. He expressed him
self as confident that the war would
soon be over and that the victory
would rest with the allies. He be-
lieves the end will come before he
can get back to the trenches. When
asked IL he had seen any Americans
over there he smiled and replied that
he had seen lots of them and that
they were hard as nuts" He ex
pressed the opinion that the tanks
were effective engines of warfare.
When asked regarding the German
mistreatment of women, children and
prisoners he declared the atrocities
practiced by the German soldiers to
be worse than pictured by speakers
and press in this country. The facts,
he stated, are too terrible to men
ton. Mcvey spent three years in the
trenches in France, and on numerous
occasions stood for hours at a time
in mud up to his hips.
