FEEL ALL USED. UP?
Lots of People Do.

Does your back ache constantly?
 Do you have sharp twinges when stooping or lifting?
 Feel all used up-as If you could just go no further?
 Why not look to your Kidneys?
 Why not use Doan's Kidney Pills?
 Read the following statement.
 James Cubbon, manager Victor Cleaning and Dye Works, 1908 Yes Ter Way, Seattle, Wn., says: My kidneys were in bad shape and every time bent over it seemed as though my back would break. The kidney secretions were unnatural, being scanty, painful, and irregu- lar in passage My work as tail or kept me bent over and that made me suffer all the more. I was lame and stiff all over and could hardly straighten up. It wasn't any time before Doan's Kidney Pills had helped me and was soon cured of every sign of the trouble.

Sketch of the Place Where the Americans Are Now Holding Down a
 Battle Line.
COMMANDS ELEVATION
Has Been a Storm Center Of War the Same as Most of Important
 French Towns.

Montdidier is in Northern France the capital of an arrondisement in the Department of Somme. The town, situated on an eminence on the right bank of the Don, dated from the Merovingian period, and perhaps owes it's name to the i'm prisonment there of the Lombard KingDidier in the 8th Century.
 It has many old and famous church es. The Church of St. Pierre, dating chiefly from the 18th Century, has a beautiful portal of the 18th Cen art. The Church of St. Pepulcre be- longs, with the exception of the mod ern portal, to the 18th md 18th Cen turies. In the interior there is g well-known Holy Sepulcre" of the latter period.
 The law-court, once the castle, part ly dating from the 18th Century, pos sesses fine tapestries of the 17th Century
 A statue commentaries the birth at Montdidier of Antoine Farmer tier with whose name are connected the beginnings of potato-culture in France.
 Held first by it's own lords, after wards by the counts of Crepy and Valois, Montdidier passed to the Crown in the 18th Century, at the end of which it was granted a char ter of liberties.
 The town offered brave and sue cessful resistance to the Spanish troops in 1636

slugging with his foes. But Jacks
splendid ring judgment ruled against
it. And SO Jack always played 1t safe,
keeping out of harms way and re-
paying terrific sallies for his jaw
with sharp Jabs to the nose and
mouth.
About January /, 1885, Dempsey
having whipped all the foremost pugti-
lists on the Pacific coast, went back
to New York. BY that time his fame
had spread beyond the confines OF
the United States and into Canada,
Europe and Australia The lovable
Irish lad had built up a following
that extended to all parts of ths
world. Wherever he went he added
to his list of admirers and everyone
clamored TO see and then to meet
the great warrior Dem sey had be-
come the greatest idol OF pugilisr
And little wonder His amazing
record deserved all the pIaudits that
were showered upon him. Through
1883. 1884 and 1885 he had mingled In
| thirty-four battles. He had met light
weights. welterweights, middleweights
and heavyweights. And not one de-
feat was charged against him. 1t WAS
an achievement then without a real
parallel in pugilistic history.
Dempsey made his temperance In
the East on January 10, 1885, and
that night performed one of the rare
pugilistic feats. He took on tive
fighters In the same ring. one after
another. and whipped both in a deci.
sive fashion. He dealt out a severe
lacing to Jimmy Murray. his first foe,
and Immediately afterward tried con-
illusions with Tom Henry and repeat
ed the treatment.
A few days afterward, Jack Fogar-
~. OF Philadelphia, challenged Demp-
sey.
And for any size side bet you say
added the Quaker city warrior. who
was ranked as one OF the best middle
weights OF that era.
Dempsey lost no time in accepting
the def and after a bit of dickering
the men agreed to fight for a side bet
OF $4,000. That was regarded as a
mighty big purse in those days and
because OF the prominence of both
fighters nation wide interest was ex-
hibited In, the match. which was
scheduled to take place in New York
city. February 2, 1895 at catch
weights.
1t was to serve az Dempsey's first
real test in the East after his tri-
umphant trip to the Pacific coast
