WHY SUFFER so?

Why suffer from bad back from
sharp, shooting twinges, headaches,
dizziness and distressing urinary ills?
Bennington people recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills. Ask your neighbor?
Could you ask for stronger proof of
merit?
Mrs. John Enright, 151 Mill St.,
Bennington, says; About two years
ago | was troubled with my kidneys
and think it was due to heavy house
work. My back was so sore that
when | stopped | could hardly raise
and it was torture for me to bend
over to sweep. At times colored
specks would float before my eyes,
blurring my vision. Dizzy spells also
caused me lot of trouble and the
action OF my kidneys was irregular
and weak. This is the way suG-
fered when | began to use Doan's Kid
ney Pills, Relief followed very
quickly and a couple boxes Of Doans
cured me of the attack Since that
time | have used Doans occasionally
as kidney tonic and preventive and
they keep me feeling fine"

CL0THESLINE ROBBED
BY KINGFISHER
Woman Living Near Rutland Loses
Embroidery Hung Out to
Bleach.

Rutland, May 25,-A kingfsher's
nest finished with a frill of tatting is
the latest thing in bird domiciles.
Such nest may be found somewhere
in the vicinity of Stratton road, Mrs.
David r. Candish of that road having
contributed the trimming.
One day last week Mrs Candlish
washed three pieces of very choice
tatting and pinned them on the clothes
line to bleach. The next morning the
line was empty and only one of the
pieces was found on the ground A
vigorous search was carried on for
some time for the lost pieces of handi-
work until with fash of his white
tail a kingfisher swooped down and
settled on the clothesline.
After flirting with the occupants Of
the yard a few minutes he began
tugging at the third piece of tatting
Mrs. Candlish secured her treasure
and replaced it with bits of gauze
hoping that the thieying bird would
show her where he had hidden the
lost piece Mr.. Kingfsher managed
to get away with all the gauze without
revealing his destination and is doubt
less living contentedly now in a home
lined with gauze and trimmed with
some valuable pieces of tatting.

WILSON MAY PASS
VACATION IN RUTLAND
Possibility that "Cummnes Manor"
May Be Selected for Summer
Capitol.

Rutland, May 25.--There is some pos
sibility that Rutland still has a chance
OF being the summer home of President
Wilson as he has not definitely decid-
ed where he will spend the warm
months Fred A. Field & Son, real
estate brokers of this city who have
the handling of the Shapiro house,
better known as the Cummings
Manor" of Center Rutland, have receiv-
ed letters from United States Senators
William P. Dillingham; and Carroll S.
Page saying that they had received
from the president an acknowledge
,ment of a letter they sent to him ac-
companed by photograph of the pro-
perty and telling of the pleasure it
would be for the people of Vermont to
have the president make his summer
home in the Green Mountain state.
1t is probable that the president will
decide within few days upon his
plans for the summer and the local
firm will have received more informat
ton.

MRS. KATE IVES TO BE
CHARGED WITH MURDER
ST. Adams Woman Held In Connection
with Shooting Of oliver Lovely

st. Adams, May 25.-An autopsy
was performed on the body of Oliver
Lovely Friday by DR.. B. H. Stone of
Burlington, state pathologist, assist
ed by DR.. c. A. Ravey of Burlington.
States attorney A. B. Rowley was
present. The autopsy was performed
at c. II. McAllister's undertaking par
lors. A special session of the grand
jury was called for Monday afternoon
at o'clock to investigate the case.
Upon its finding will depend the
charge that will be brought against
Mrs. Kate Ives. The woman was held
at the time OF the shooting as a wit
ness and although she made confess
sion the day after the occurrence that
she shot Lovely while he slept, the
original charge has not been changed
up to this time.
1t is understood that the autopsy
disclosed infection from the lung re-
sulting from the gun shot wound
Should the official report show such
cause it is practically certain that
Mrs. Ives will be charged with mur.
der. The grand jury might bring an
indictment for second degree murder
or manslaughter.
Little concern was shown by Mrs
Ives when Sheriff G. p. Catlin inform
ed her that Lovely was dead. Mrs
Ives husband, Oscar Ives Of Bakers
field, with a son of that town visited
her at the Jail Sunday
Mr.. Lovely, who was 5S years old
last month, is survived by one daugh
ter Mrs Mary ONeil Of Burlington
and by his mother Mrs. Mary Lovely
of Milton and by four brothers and
four sisters.

PRESIDENT ASKS
FOR A MANDATE
OVER ARMENIA
Message Not Favorably Received
by Republican Senators
ACTION WILL BE DELAYED
President States He Has Accepted
Difficult and Delicate Task from
Allied Supreme Council.

Washington, May 25.--Authority
to accept for the United States Il
mandate over Armenia was asked of
Congress yesterday by President vii.
sen. The executive said he was
conscious that he was urging "a
very critical choice" but that he did
so 'in the earnest hope that it will
be the wish of the people OF the
United States that this should be
done"
The Presidents message was read
in both the House and Senate, but
was discussed in neither. Each
House referred 1t to its committee
on foreign relations and there was
no indication when either committee
would take it up. Some Republican
leaders in the Senate predicted pr
vately that the message would lie in
the Senate indefinitely
Senator Lodge OF Massachusetts.
the Republican leader and chairman
of the Senate committee, had no
icomment to make on the executives
recommendations In the past, how
ever he has declared emphatically
lhts opposition tc a mandate.
Senator Harding Republican, Ohio,
chairman of the committee which
investigated Armenian affairs, said
| he would never consent to taking a
mandate over Armenia, and added
that he did not think the Senate
would consent.
The President, in his message, in
formed the Senate that he had ac-
cepted the invitation Of the allied
supreme council that he undertake
to arbitrate the very difficult ques-
tions cf the boundary between Tur-
key and Armenia" saying he had
thought it his duty to accept this
difficult and delicate task"
The question of a mandate over
Armenia was discussed at length in
the report of the American mission
to Armenia, headed by Major Gen
eral Harbord, which recently was
presented to the Senate. General
Harbord estimated that acceptance
iof the mandate would necessitate the
presence of $4,000 American troops
there. Other estimates, however
have placed it at less, cnce the Turk
ish army had been demobilized in az
cordance with the terms of the Turk
ish treaty.

THREE BOXING j,
BOUTS FAIL To |
CO To LIMITS
Fast Work Featured Smoker at
Union Hall
FIRST DEFEAT FOR LANG
Bennington Boy Who Has Been Con.
slstent Winner Stopped in
Second Round.

The smoker held by the Bennington
Athletic club at Union hall Monday
evening developed three smashing
bouts, not one Of which went the limit
The last bout of the evening witnessed
the first failure of Kid Lang, the fast
Bennington boy, to stay the limit.
Lang who has been appearing in pre-
liminary and semi-final bouts here
with remarkable success, was opposed
by Red Mack of Albany. The Albany
boy had some advantage in weight and
height but during the opening round
the pair seemed evenly matched. Lang
was the aggressor in the opening
stanza but the pace was hot and when
the gong rang he went to his corner
considerably exhausted. The second
round was a whirlwind, slam-bang af-
fair in which neither boy showed either
skill or caution. The going was too
too fast for Lang and he was soon
counted out
The Lang-Mack bout was preceded
by an eight-round engagement between
Young Kippey Of North Adams and
Spider Kelley. The rounds were cut
from three to two minutes and while
the bout lasted it was an exhibition of
skillful. fast boxing. In the fourth
round Kelley claimed that he receiv-
ed an unfair blow and the bout was
discontinued by Referee Shotsy Shana,
han who gave no decision.
The preliminary for the champion
ship of North Bennington was between
Young Rice and Battling Daily. DAILY
was the stronger boy and the more
I aggressive. Rice had good left but
failed to follow up his advantage when
he had openings. In the fourth round
Rice's seconds threw the towel into
the ring.

Vera Cruz, May 25.-Reports of the
autopsy performed upon the body of
Carranza fail to agree with the claim
of Col RudClfo Herrero that the
president committed suicide.
The surgeons found that Carranza
was struck by rifle bullets fired from
the front The conclusion of those
who witnessed the autopsy was that
CarraRza was assassinated.
