When Her Back Aches
Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away.

Westminster women know how the
aches and pains that often come when
the kidneys fail, make life a burden.
Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles,
are frequent 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 Ask

merit in a Westminster woman's
words:
Mrs. u. B. Helderbridle, Carroll
street, says: Several years ago my
kidneys were out of order and I had
severe backaches and pains across
my kidneys that made me miserable
most of the time. When 1 stopped l
could hardly straighten up. My kid
neys annoyed me a lot by their irreg-
ular action. l used Doan's Kidney
Fills and they proved to be what l
needed strengthening my back and
kidneys"

VALUE OF UNDRAWN POULTRY
Experiments Conducted by Department
Of Agriculture Show Birds Spoil
Less Quickly.

Poultrymen still discuss the rela-
tive merits of drawn and undrawn
poultry. Practice varies in different
communities. Opening the body un-
doubtedIy exposes the internal surface
to the air which always contains mi
ro-organisms, and thus may hasten
deCompOsitiOn; but it should be re-
Rendered also that the viscera decOm-
pose more rapidly than other parts OF
The body, and if left they may faint
OF infect the rest of the bird.
In elaborate experiments with
aFawn, partly drawn, and undrawn
puItry, conducted by the United
iates Department of Agriculture, il
aS found that undrawn birds spoil
east quickly, and partly drawn ones
less quickly than the fully drawn ones

common vetch, which is harder and
has become established in popularity.
To make a bridge between the two
geographically distant localities has
been the work Of a number of years
on the part of the department experts.
It was first necessary to demonstrate
the value of purple vetch in the
'SOuth. and afterwards to induce north
ern farmers to substitute it to some
extent FOR their customary crops. This
latter was difficult, because purple
Vetch was not quoted in the market,
and also because, where a sale was eff
fected, farmers were tempted to sell
their entire stock, reserying no seed
TO maintain or extend the acreage.
The assistance of a large California
fruit growers association was enlisted,
and last year 800 acres were grown
under guarantee, a large portion of
the yield being kept for seed. This
year northwestern California and Ore
gon farmers will receive 49, cents a
pound for purple vetch seed, which
Should give them from $3.50 to 5000
per acre in addition to the straw. From
now on it is expected sufficient seed
will be available for all needs.

Is d municipal ordinance In Canton

Two other changes Mr.. Chan men
toned MS having been especially Inn
portanf In helping to awaken China
from her lethargy.
One In the determined struggle
against opium. which has led the
government to prohibit the poppy
being grown. If farmer raises q
small patch OF poppies In his garden
the farm will be confscated by the
government. And In one representa-
tive province the penalty for smoking
opium Is a fine for the first onense.
Imprisonment for the second, and the
third time the offender is cured--he
Is executed
The main difficulty in the drug situ-
alton is that Japan smuggles opium
md morphine through Shantung.
China claims that that is one reason
i why Japan wants to hold the province.
and this smuggling hampers the gov
ernment In It's efforts entirely to
etamp out the drug habit
The other big advance is the new al
rhabet, which replaces the old 10000
characters of the Chinese written
language. Mr.. Cham points out that
this written language was like the
old Egyptian hieroglyphics. and that a
sign like two legs running represents
man. Another like n figure with
arms that seems to be sitting doAn
ls the symbol for a woman--she could
not run. The sign for a cow looks
like two horns and tail; and a fiat
back, long tail, four legs, represents
horse.
IT was so hard to master the classics
In this difficult language that scholars
sometimes spent all their lives in the
attempt. The common people more
often than not were unable to read or
write. But in 1919. the minister Of
education announced the new national
phonetic system Of 40 letters, and now
women who have never been to school
are able to learn to read and write in
less than two months. Public school
books, magazines and newspapers are
being printed In the new system.
This alphabet was a body blow to
the old Chinese tradition Of reverence
for the ways OF ones ancestors. The
filial Chinese had always accepted the
tradition that one must not disgrace
these ancestors by improving on the
mode Of life bequeathed by them
But ancestors, like everything else
are beginning to Be regarded from a
Twentieth Century standpoint in
China.

Tennis.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening.


New York. August ga little
group of California men and women
and children came east few weeks
ago with some tennis racquets. They
are going back home soon with almost
everything the East has to offer in the
way of Championships. silver bowls
and cups. Two things they wanted
but failed to capture were the women's
national championship and Suzanne
Lenglen's goat. Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt
Mallory acquired both for the greater
glory of the East.
Miss Browne won the New York
state title by defeating Miss Marie
Wagner of New York, the 1920 cham
pion. Miss Browne was stopped in the
semi-fnals at the Seabright invitation
matches by Miss Eleanor Goss of New
York, ranking player number FIVE. who
also defeated the f5-year old prodigy
of Berkeley, Miss Helen Wills, in the
third round there.
Miss Wills later became the national
Junior champion by defeating Miss
Virginia Carpenter of Philadelphia, al
Forest Hills.
Miss Browne and Mrs. Louise r.
Williams of Los Angeles, won the ma
tional doubles title at Forrest Hills.
In the Metropolitan tournament, Mis-.
Browne refaulted on advice of her
physician, while Mrs. Bundy was beat
en- by Mrs. Mallory in the SEM finals.
Willis f. Davis of San Francisco.
won a leg on the Meadow Clubs cup
at Southampton by defeating Vincent
Richards. last years winner.
The kinsey brothers, Robert and
Howard, of California. were semi-fina1-
lists in doubles at the Newport invi-
tation tournament, and finalists at Sea
Bright, when they lost to Williams and
washburn.
Philip Neer, of Leland Stanford, Jr..
University, the intercollegiate cham
pion. and Wallace ]. Bates, OF the
University of California. scored many
victories in various eastern tourna-
ments.
William NJ. Johnson, of San Fran
cisco, won both the Longwood and
Seabright Journeys by beating Will
liams in the finals. Some of the pro-
west experts are certain he will cap
off the VESTS triumphs this year by
dethroning William T. Tilden the ma
ticnal titleholder in the championship
tournament at Philadelphia.
