KEEP YOUNG.

People with bad backs and
weak kidneys are apt to feel old
at sixty. Many old folks say
Doan's Kidney Pills help them
keep young. Here's a Lexington
case:
w. E. Tarlton, retired farmer,
zoos Main St, says; Il am a man
past seventy-seven years of age
and l believe the occasional use
Of Doan's Kidney Pills has kept
my kidneys in good condition.
Years ago | was troubled a great
deal with kidney weakness. Ev-
cry muscle in my back was sore
and lame and sharp twinges Of
pain would often catch me il
the small of my back. Ny kid
neys we're weak and the secre-
tions were highly colored and
contained sediment. l read a.
bout Doan's Kidney Pills and
bought some at Marshall's Drug
Store. Relief soon followed and
it was not long before Doan's
Kidney Pills cured me up in
good shape again. Since that
time | have used Doan's Kidney
Pills off and on as a tonic for my
kidneys. They keep me in fine
condition. l certainly think
Doan's are a fine kidney rene
dy."

CLOSING LEAks IN coNcRETE.

A novel method Of closing the
leaks in two concrete tanks has been
reported. The tanks-20 feet long
by ten feet wide and 10 feet deep
were built in the ground, and have
reinforced concrete floor and walls,
the latter 10 inches thick at the top.
To remedy the trouble, the tanks
we're filed with water, and around
the edge Of this was spread bran
over a strip a foot wide. The bran
slowly changed to a kind Of thick
glue. AS this sticky material grad
ually sank some Of it was drawn
toward the leaks, and the pressure
Of the water packed it solidly into
openings. Being made perfect,
watertlght by sufficient treatment IN
this way, the tanks have shown no

While ONLY walter Hampden. of the
sinEuldrly fine original cast of "The Ser

points Of adequacy.

not to level altogether Castes and classes
temperatures and principalities.
Mr. Kennedy was considered a daring
innOVatOr in his thesis of the union OF
hand and heart body and soul, as the
only fitting and effective agency for
social welfare, though after all he was
merely restating--in dramatic terms of
country rector and his problems of
life-the principle enunciated, among
others, by Saint Francis o. Assist, who
removed evangelical poverty and humiI-
ity from the sphere of ideal notion 10 the

LIES, SAYS FATHER
or MRS. WGARVEl

Mrs. Mary MCGarvey was reported to
be still quite sick today at the home Of
her fathnr, Fred MOnaCh, Chancellor
street near Fifty second.
4 woman named, MCGarvey has been
mentioned in connection with the MUIR
der trinl of Raymond W. Schuck in
Camden. Schuck was Il friend Of Mrs.
Mary McGarvcy and her family.
Mrs. MCGarvcy is the wife of William
McGarvcy, who lives in suburban
town and until five months ago was
an cmployo of the PENNSYLVANIA Rail
road. They have a five year old son.
Mr. Monach said Yesterday that his
daughter and her husband were not liv-
ing together because, due to the house
shortage, they could not get house,
and had decided to go TO their family
homes temporarily. The son is with
Mrs. McGurvcy. but the husband is said
to go occasionally and get the boy to
take him fora visit at the graudmoth
er's home in the country.
At today'S sitting of the trial fur
coat was identified by a Walnut street
furricr ns one which SChuck had bought
on Octobcr for II young woman whose
name the furricr said was "McGar-
vcy.
Denies She Got Coat
Mr.. Mounch and another daughter
of his denied that Mrs. McGarvcy ever
was given II fur coat by Schuck. The
father repeated his assertion Of yes
tcrday that his daughter had bought
and paid for her coat, and had re-
ccipt for il.
The fnthrr denied also the rumOr that
was whispered around the courtroom
Yesterday that Mrs. McGarvCy had been
taken by Srhurk to see II bungalow in
New jersey which he proposed TO buy
for her. This was supposed to have
been some Time before the murder.
'"Thr truth of that story was." said
Mr., Monurh. "thut Il man. friend Of
the family, lost his wife and inherited
some money from her estate. He thought
he woud buy home in New Jersey.
He had an automobile and he came here
one day. getting S"huCk and another
man and taking Mary along to see the
house. He didn't like the house and
the deal fell through.
Mr.. MOuaCh also denied that Mary
knew Mrs. Srhuck, wife of Raymond
Schurk. 1T may b" that Mrs. Schuck
saw my daughter Ht some time" the
, father snd. but it is II pack of lies to
say that Mrs. Schuck knew Mary. My
daughter never saw Mrs. Schuck in her
life. She did not know there was II
Mrs. Schurk.
Had Beer with Schuck
And it is lie, too, to say that
Schuck ever gave my daughter any
money to keep for him. We understood
that Schuck had a little money, but
be never said he had and never give
any evidence of it. ! have had n glass
of beer with him now and then. and
never saw him with more than couple
of dollars.
The father said the family had every
reason to respect Schuck "IIr was
nice boy, and ! don't believe he is
guilty. He never paid any special ut-
trntion to my daughter. He came here
few times to soc the family. lie was
gentleman in every way.
IF my daughter were not i'll | would
have her 60 over TO the trial in Camden
to refutp the stories that have been
spread about her. Believe me, when
this thing is over, | intend to make
some of the people who have been talk
ing about my girl take back the things
they have said.
