tate about endorsing them. Several
years ago my kidneys were in awful
bad shape and I suffered great deal
with backaches. I felt perfectly mis-
erable My kidneys acted irregularly,
my ankles often swelled and had
putting under my eyes. If bent over,
I could hardly straighten up again
and awful dizzy spells would come
over me. used several different kid
ney remedies in an eff1rt to find
relief but wasn't helped any until I
finally used Doan's Kidney Pills.

BOY SCOUTS HAVING
GREAT TIME ABROAD
American Lads Show Well and
Surprise English in
Athletic Events.

LONDON, Aug. 1O.-With "hikes"
visits to historical sites and trips to
various points of interst the Amer-
can Boy Scouts who are here for the
purpose of attending the International
"Jamboree" at Olympia are keeping
themselves busy.
General Sir Robert Baden-Powell
chief scout, made an unexpected and
unannounced visit to the temporary
headquarters OF the American boys
shortly after their arrival. The gen.
eral expressed his amazement at the
number and fine physical appearance
of the American boys and said that
they would undoubtedly make the
other boys look to their laurels in the
competitions.
Shakespeare's birthplace, Stratford-
on-Avon, was one of the first shrines
visited by the scouts. After a trip
through the old town and an inspec-
ton of Shakespeare's home and Ann
Hathaway's cottage, the boys were
entertained at Warwick Castle at tea
by Lady Marsh.
James f. West, chief scout execu-
tive of America, and Colin Living
stone. president of the Boy Scouts of
America, who arrived after the boys
on the Aauitania, were received with
honors on their visit to the camp.
After q short stop in their tempo
rary headquarters in the Y. NJ c. A.
Training School at Islington, the
boys went into camp in Richmond
Park, whence they are brought to
Olympia by motor lorries.

VALUES SOLDIER
LAND AT 80 MILLIONS

OTTAWA, Ontario, Aug. 10-What is
the value of a soldier settler on the
land? The Canadian Pacific railway
has answered the question with sta
tistics. 1t found that the total rail-
way revenue in the three prairie
provinces from agriculture was $163,-
516,3lS annually, based on figures OF
the year ended August 81, 1916. AS
there were 219.105 farmers in the
prairie provinces at that time, the
revenue per farmer was SI1633. This
sum capitalized at "a per cent makes
the annual value of each farmer to
the railways s13.569.62.
The soldier settlement board has
made 1908 loans and 10000 soldiers
have been established on the land.
The value OF these settlers to the
Canadian railroads, on the Canadian
Pacific figures, is annually 1914
900.

Who TR|CKED THEM
''Jake the Measurer" Got Their
Gems, But They Get Him at
Police Station.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Twenty-nve
young women, mostly brides, had to
be restrained by detectives at Brook
lyn police headquarters when they
sought to attack Edward Koch, alias
Jake" the Measurer," alias DR..
Franklin, twenty-four. Koch, ac-
cording to the police, had robbed
young married women OF $4,000
work of jewelry in the past seven
months by a novel scheme.
He was arrested after Detectives
had fired three shots over his head
in a chase.
The detectives made the arrest on
the complaint of Mrs. Anna Schare,
Coney Island, a bride of three weeks.
According to Mrs. Schare. Koch,
well dressed and suave. called at her
home and told her that he had been
sent by her husband to measure her
for 500 gown. While Koch was
busy with the tape he complained
that Mrs. Schare's $1,000 diamond
ring and other gems caught in the
tape and interfered with the meas
uring.
She removed the gems. Koch
seized them, she charges, and dashed
out OF the house.
Koch. according to the police, has
made a practice of watching for
weddings and of calling on the
brides within two or three weeks
after the ceremony to rob them by
the same emthod.

I'm KING OF WORLD,
WILHELM TOLD HIM
Spa Butcher Didn't Know 1t and
Had to Be Ordered to
Take of His Hat.
NJ q. WARD PRICE.

SPA, Aug. 10.-That the ex-ksiser
Is mad, and has been so for years
is the sincere belief OF the good peo-
pie of Spa, whose unwelcome towns
man he was for many months before
the day he signed his abdieation on
the very table-so they say-in the
Hotel Britannique at which the heads
OF the British peace delegation are
now taking their meals.
There Is a butcher In the main
street OF Spa who was walking
through the woods one Sunday after
noon In the summer Of 1918 and came
suddenly upon a neshly, elderly man
In his shirt sleeves. with bare arms
and a pick In his hand, who, in com
pany with others similarly dressed
and equipped, was occupied In turn
ing a little stream from it's course
with all the eagerness or child
making sand castles on the beach.
The butcher stared In surprise at
these elderly mudlarks, for II never
occurred to him that one OF them was
the German Emperor and two OF the
others were famous general and
Prince Meiternich. Suddenly he was
addressed with an imbecile anecta-
tion OF dignity by one OF the grubby
diggers.
"Bonjour. monsieur. Take of your
hat. You are in the presence OF the
Emperor OF the World. And now"
added the Kaiser. as the startled
butcher sheepishly complied, go. and
forget forever what you have seen.
AS another hobby of his stay at
Spa, when the German communicates
were constantly assuring the troops
that their supreme war lord was per-
sonally present at their battles, the
Kaiser used TO stun his pockets with
leaves or with pebbles. which he
would throw into the air as he
walked.
He seut for German woman
friend to join" him in Spa. Quarters
were provided for her in the villa
Pompeia. She was tall, handsome.
and between thirty and thlrty-hye
years OF age. 'The Emperor's Spy"
was the nickname the townspeople
gave her. ..-
She would disappear whenever the
Empress came to visit her husband at
Spa, but at other times the Kaiser
would go out riding with her in the
woods that surround the town. One
of his orders was that all the branches
everhanging the paths through ,ne
woods should be Topped so that he
would not need to bow his head as he
cantered along. And far and wide
every day the forests around Spa
were searched by secret service men
to ensure' his safety.
Though Allied aeroplanes never
combed German General Headquarters
here, the great dread OF the Kaiser's
life was air raids. He had three
villas reserved for himself at Spa, and
was continually changing from one to
the other. At the villa Neubois,
where Marshal Foch and NJ. Millerand
have been staying. the kaiser's dug
out, with its steel strong-room door,
made to open in two parts in case a
fall Of earth jammed it, is the princi-
pal sight of the house. When the
imperial nerves were very bad the
Kaiser lived in his train, which had
an engine attached at each end, with
steam always up.

Wireless Telephony viii Make
Many Things Possible.
Pity Operators.
ny THOMAS WHIGLEY,
International News Service stag
CsrpesSsaIeat.


NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-wireless op-
orators are keenly watching the
progress OF the experiments in wire-
less telephony by which. II Is pre-
dicted. IL will soon be possible to talk
across the ocean; but not all are eager
for the day to arrive when IL will be
Hello. Mabel! How's things in Lon
donY This is Charley talking In New
York."
In the big wireless offices in this
city, where the radio operators gather
while their ships are in port. wireless
telephony is one OF the chief topics of
conversation.
For the love OF Nike" one oper-
ator said yesterday, ''all we'll be pret-
~ soon is hello girls connecting Up
the passengers in their staterooIas
with their friends at home" The re-
mark came after his friend, just ar
rived In port, said he heard singing
and victrola music all the way from
Denmark while he was on a ship not
far from the Atlantic coast.
They are a strange "set." these
young men, most OF them scarcely out
OF their teens, who handle the wire
less on board the big liners. There
are Britons and Scots and Americans
and sharp-eyed Italians from every
port OF importance, and as they gath
er In the wireless offices they talk OF
strange things in the most common
place manner To them distance ~
only reckoned by the strength Of
their wireless apparatus. and these
! tell of snatches OF conversation with
their friends, who are hundreds Of
miles away, even a thousand or mora
as a mere nothing, which. in truth, it
is to them. And there are other
stories they tell, too. which are not
SO pleasant. Of flashes across tho
watery wastes from a friend they
know on board ship which is in dis
tress-sharp signals calling for as
sistance, repeated over and over
again.
Many of the operators now in
charge OF the wireless on board tho
transatlantic liners were in the SER
vice during the war. most of them
under the British flag, and they can
tell tales OF many of their comrades
whose calls they picked up while
feeling their way across the sub-in-
Tested zones, telling of a toopedeinG
and ola ship going down, but asking
for no assistance, for no aid could be
given them.
1t is far different now, with little
to disturb their daily routine of send
ing and receiving dispatches, and the
new era of wireless telephony will
only enlarge the scope of their work
and prove a benefit, as all new dis
coveries do.

NOW THEY GIVE IT AWAY

MAIDEN, Mass, Aug. 10.-An un-

ancient Mosaic law, was inflicted on
short weight ice dealers by Judge
Riley in the Maiden court. when he
ordered them to make their usual
visits to two Medford residents and
leave ice without charge for the term
of one month.
At the same time he announced that
anyone thereafter convicted of SELL
ing short weight ice would be forced
to deliver free ice to their victims for

THINKS DAUGHTER
HELD YHYPN0T|ST
Missing Girl Under Spell of Older
Companion, Declares Dis
traCted Mother,

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Agnes Nee
han, the fifteen-year-old daughter Of
Mrs. Mary Meehan, widow. is miss
ing again. This has happened so
often recently that the police have
lost track Of her comings and goings.
Her mother declares that another girl
has hypnotized her daughter.
Agnes selected seventeen-year-old
Catherine Dimalo as her travelling
companion. This is the girl with the
hypnotic influence, according to Mrs.
Meehan.
Catherine disappeared with Agnes
last February. and they did not re-
turn until March 30. A week later
and neither of them was seen in her
usual haunts until May Is. This time
the police are not certain whether
Agnes disappeared with Catherine or
whether Catherine disappeared with
Agnes.
Last time Catherine packed up and
left she inadvertently packed up 5000
belonging to her fathers grocery till
and took it with her. This time the
till comes out even, the father said
today.
