The main trouble in Washington as often pointed out

laws and regulations weak that ANYBODY get

and eighteen to operate pleasure machines belonging to
their parents guardians. The only requirement is per-

TO HAVE BOXING. WRESTLING
 TRIALS FOR OLYMPIC TEAM

New York, March 22.-BoXing and wrestling trials for places upon the American Olympic team will be cont ducted along lines similar to those arranged for the track and field can didates. These conditions were work ed out at a recent meeting of the American Olympic Committee and the official program of sectional and na- tional trials will be announced within a short time. While no dates have as yet been fixed for these preliminaries it is expected that the sectional bouts for the boxers will be held about the middle of June and the final tryout early in July.
 It is probable that the sectional contests will be assigned to certain cities in the south, middle-west. At lantic coast, Rocky Mountain and Pa cif1c coast territories. The conditions to govern these bouts will be identical with those which will prevail in the Olympic contests at Antwerp Aug. 15 to 26. Eight ounce gloves will be worn by the contestants and the box CTS will compete under the rules of the International Boxing Federation. Three three minute rounds will form the ordinary engagement and two judges, in addition to the referee, will pass upon the merits of the boxers. In case of a disagreement of the judges at the termination of the third round the referee has the power to order an additional round to break the tie.

WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
 Ambition Slipping Away.

Norwich women know how the aches and pains that often come when the kidneys fail make life burden. Backache. hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells. distressing urinary troubles, are freouent indications of weak kid neys and should be checked in time. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid neys only. They attack kidney dis eases by striking at the cause. Here's proof of their merit in a Norwich woman's words: Ask your neighbor!
 Mrs. L. A. Andrews, Rock street, Norwich, says: My back had bother cd me great deal There was dull nagging pain across it almost con- stantly and that was very annoying I bought Doan's Kidney Pills from Treats Drug Store, and they gave me great relief.
