'Doan's Kidney Pills a few times and
from the benefit obtained I can say
they are good and reliable remedy.
Whenever my kidneys have acted
irregularly or my back had been
weak and lame have always found
box or so of Doan's Kidney Pills,
which I get at Ardery's Drug Store
to relieve the complaint quickly"
The above statement was given
November 10, 1916, and on Novem-
Der II, 1920, Mrs. Burley said: Il
haven't changed my opinion of Doan's

Pon rax Revenue For sehooIs.

Robert e. Lee. chairman of the
State Accident Commission, holds to
his idea OF trying to promote interest
in a fight at the coming session Of the
Legislature for poll tax, and he has
annexed another Idea to his original
suggestion; that is, that the money
raised by such means could be used
partly for the general school fund,
which educators Of the State are now
clamoring to have Increased.
Mr.. Lee said that he had no definite
plan to introduce the bill, which would
call for an amendment to the Consti-
tuition to be submitted to the people.
but that he has not given It up.
He said:
Il thought for while that some OF
our energetic candidates in the last
election campaign would pick up the
idea, but l suppose they were little
afraid of It. | still think that, w-tn
our great mass Of voters who pay no
taxes whatever and many Of them as
sumo no responsibility OF citizenship,
poll tax would be one Of the best
things that could be adopted by our
State. We have been clamoring around
everywhere trying to find something
to tax to raise additional revenues.
1t begins to look like we haven't much
left that can be taxed.
Therefore, l. think 1t is time that

almost as great importance as the
agreement over the limitation of naval
armaments, which will probably be an
nounced at the next public session of
the conference, probably this week.
The Japanese Government cabled its
full assent to the new Horsepower
agreement effective today, but its de-
cision as to naval ratios has not been
forwarded, or at least has not been
presented, circumstance which nat
uraily creates the suspicion that Japan
has withheld it until a satisfactory
substitute for the Anglo-Japanese
treaty had been approved.
With the first definite move to clear
up the International situation success
fully negotiated, delegates to the In
Iternational Conference believe that So
lutions for remaining problems will be
speedily found. They admit, however.
that there are many difficulties ahead,
most or all of them relating to the
future OF China.
The agreement reached by the dele
gates OF the United States. Great
Britain and France imposes no obli-
cation on this or any country that is
not specifically set forth in the instru-
ment itself. There Is no Joker" hid
den meaning or ulterior purpose con-
cealed in the phases of one of the
briefest and simplest international in
struments of Its kind.
This ct least is the view Of the
officials of this country and its dele
gates in the conference. They say
there is no Article 10" in it.
The outstanding feature of the
agreement, Of course, is the abandon
ment of the alliance between Great
Britain and Japan. against which this
Government had set its face. The
substitute agreement merely pledges
the four signatories to respect the
insular possessions and insular domin-
ions Of each other in the region Of
the Pacific ocean; to frankly discuss
differences before committing an as
gressive act, and to remain in effect
for 10 years, when 1t may be termi-
mated on 12 months notice.
The treaty does not guarantee to
respect and preserve" the territories
OF the member nations as does the
League of Nations. 1t does not obli-
gate member nations to render mill
tary assistance to each other, as pro-
yided in the Versailles treaty. Fur
thermore, it respects the constitutional
process Of each Government relating
to declarations of war. There is to
be 10 court Of reviews; instead there
are to be conferences when there are
disputes.
!. The treaty, while confined to the
territorial possessions or dominions
Of the signatory countries, will exer-
else a restraining influence upon all
nations holding possessions in the
Pacific. as in the case of Holland.
A close study of the new treaty
justifies American officials in declar-
ing that none Of its provisions pledges
the United States to take any action

Annapolis Members Of the State
Accident Commission. chatting under
the recent ruling Of Attorney-General
Armstrong which excludes practically
all the State employees. except those
employed on extra hazardous" tasks
for ''pecuniary gain" from compensa-
tion. are preparing to present an
amendment to the Compensation act
that will include all the State en-
ployes on the basis OF the extra
hazardous" classification alone.
Members of the commission, frankly
differing from the Attorney Generals
views, contend that the clause "pecun-
larry gain" should not apply to the
State departments, but that they
should receive benefits from the act
just as any private corporation does,
Chairman Robert E. Lee said he
would put a bill in the Legislature
amending the act so that this ruling
would be nullifed. He considers that
State employees working for the State
Roads Commission. members of the
State police, employees OF the State
Conservation Commission and labor
ers at various institutions who are
called upon to perform "extra-hazard-
GUS" tasks should be protected. Just as
se..c.h: se....: 80 s;.e employees OF private cor.
porations. and that the various depart.
ments should be compelled by law to
provide for the compensation. He de
clared that at this time. due to the
fact that the Motor Vehicle Commits.
sioner took advantage under his own
yolition to carry insurance. several
MANNED members of the State police
force are being provided for.
These men. as wen as many others
in State employ said Mr.. Lee, per.
form tasks which involve danger. and
they should be protected just as much
as any employe Of private corpora

for "pecuniary gain The State does
not venture on such projects. There

act they certainly had those in mind

9 POWER VOICE APPROVAL
Treaty Agreement Expected To Pave
Way For EARLY Decisions On
Naval Ratio and Other
Issues.

Washington. = The representatives
Of the United States, Great Britain,
France and Japan by brief and simple
methods swept aside Objectionable
Anglo7Japanese Alliance nd pledged
their Governments to respect the
rights Of each other in the Pacific
ocean, and thereby remove a potential
cause for future wars.
The announcement Of the agreement
was made under dramatic conditions
before the delegates OF nine Powers
participating in the Conference for the
Limitations Of Armaments and the
Discussion of Far Eastern and Pacific
Problems.
The new undertaking, which will
supersede the Anglo,Japanese ALI
ance, received the full approval Of
Great Britain, France and Japan. The
acceptance OF it by the United States
is contingent upon the assent of Japan
to reservations relating to the man
dated islands in the Pacific, with spe.
cial reference to Yap.
Negotiations for complying with the
demands Of this country for equal priv
ileges in these inundated islands are
progressing and practically concluded
to the satisfaction Of all pasties CON
cerned.
The new treaty was indorsed not
only by the four Powers whose sig
natures will be finally appended to the
document, but by the representatives
OF Holland, Belgium, Italy. Portugal
and China, although the latter country
insisted until the last that it be in
cluded in the arrangement. The Of
ficials of this Government do not. ex.
press the slightest doubt Of the. &C.
