WHY THAT LAME BACK?

That morning lameness those
sharp pains when bending or lifting,
make work a burden and rest impos-
sible. Don't be handicapped by q
bad back-look to your kidneys. You
will make no mistake by following
this Lewiston residents example.

Idaho, says: Il have used Doan's
Kidney Pills of and on for several
years with excellent results and !
know they are good remedy. In
the winter when l catch colds that
settle on my back and kidneys, or
when / overwork, it causes my back
to ache and become lame. The kid
ney secretions become too free in
passage. A box or so Doan's Kidney
Pills never fail to rid me OF these
complaints and strengthen my KID
neys to normal"

STRETCHES OF SILVER SAND
Beautiful Characteristic Of Brazilian
River-Trees Constitute Danger
TO Unwary Travellers.

Travellers in Brazil agree that
one Of the Araguaya's most beauti-
full characteristics is the clean, sill
very stretches of sand that border
its shores in many parts. These
sand stretches are often half a mile
wide, with surface as smooth as
that of billiard table. Sometimes
they are rufied by the wind into
beautiful patterns and designs,
while at others they are scored with
the tracks of animals-the capivara,
q sort of wild pig, the tapir, the
turtle, and the more sinister Brazil
ian tiger, or jaguar, the arch-enemy
not only of man, but also of crea-
lures of the wild. Here and there
the sands give way to banks covered
with vegetation, interspersed with
fringes of dense, virgin forest, whose
trees some Of them giants of their
kind-sweep the very edge Of the
river, their branches combing its
surface and constituting an abiding
danger to the craft that ventures too
near.--From the Wide World Maga-
zine.

ENCOURAGING GARDENING

To encourage the gardening Of
vacant land in and about Berlin, the
state railways have cut their fares
In half for all needy tenant garden
ers travelling to and from their gar
dens. It is a practice here to lease
Tor the spring and summer small
patches of acreage held for specula-
ton or building purposes. So much
OF such land has been taken up by
truck gardeners that there is now
continuous chain of vegetable plots
encircling the city, comprising ap-
proximately $4,000 acres. The num-
Der of gardeners Is 10000, an in
crease of $4,000 over last year.

CALLED FOR MRS. RANDOLPH
ce-sd New to the Ways Of Big Cities
Furnished Amusement 10 Fellow
Students


A coed, living at the residence
maintained by her school in In
dianapolis, the other day returned
late in the evening and found a note
stating, 'sPlease call Randolph
0000." THAT wasn't the number,
but it will do.
She was new to the ways of In
dianapolis.
Taking down the receiver she
asked of central sweetly, sPlease
give me 0000."
'What station, please?2 central
asked.
'Um-m-m, I want Randolph's,"
she said, doubtfully.
So central obhgingly rang Ran

Hello" a voice called over the
wire.
'1s this Mrs. Randolph ?'' asked
the coed.
Then peals of laughter resounded
from the corridors, where her more
worldly wise coed sisters were con-
gregated, having considerable fun

REscUEs MILLIONS OF FISH
How the Federal Service Picks UP
Those Which Are Stranded by
the Rivers Overflow.

The Mississippi river misbehaves
in spring, as residents near it know
to their cost. It's waters spread out
far and wide over the adjacent coun-
try, and millions of fish go with
them. Soon the stream subsidies,
and these fish are left to die, as the
shallow pools that are formed by
the receding waters dry up or
freeze.
The federal fisheries service sends
out SEEMING parties, which follow
down the diminishing river and res
cue the fish from the pools and
either restore them to the stream OF
distribute them to other waters. In
1919 more than 100000 fsh
were thus saved. Twenty fish hatch
cries could not produce fish equal in
number and size to those rescued.
Their cash value at the rates charged
by commercial hatcheries exceeds
the total appropriations of the gov
eminent for the fish cultural serv-
ice.-William G, Redfeld, in the
Outlook.

Sturdy Oak Was the Idol Of the pruias'
and Olive Of the Ancient
Afhenlans.

Tree worship is one of the most
ancient forms Of idolatry. The
Druids had their sacred oaks, which
nourished the mystic mistletoe, that
strange parasite plant in which they
imagined the soul of the tree re-
sided. The Morse sages tell OF the
ash, Yydrasil, whose roots and
branches fill all space, whose fruit is
shining stars, upon whose leaves are
written all history and fate, and at
whose base sits the weird Norns,
representing the past, present and
future, says the Detroit News.
The Athenians regarded the olive
as the gift of the goddess Athene,
the promise of peace and prosperity.
Mohammedans recognize three
plants as carried by Adam on his
exile from Eden-the myrtle for its
sweetness of scent, the wheat grain
for its nourishment and the date
palm for its fruit. From that one
date stone have come all the palms
that cover. the world. And the
acacia became sacred to the Hebrews
as the shrub which Moses saw afame
in the back part Of the desert, and
one name for the God of Israel was
"He who dwelt in the bush"

ALL DUE TO swAeeER STICK


The swagger stick may be '5ust
another one of those crazy feminine
fads," but in Georgette's case, at
least, it's more than merely q fash
ionable accessory.
Georgette used to be one Of those
quiet, unassuming little things, al
ways wishing she had the airs and
sangfroid of her more confident sis
tiers, says the New York Sun and
Globe. She's got them now, all right.
They seem to have been thrown in
with the purchase of her swagger
stick. She glides down the avenue
with the real model walk" nom
chalantly swinging her stick as she
gazes at the world with naughty
eyes. Going up and down stairs she
holds the stick under arm in true
deyil-may-care fashion.
There is just enough arrogance in
her manner to make people believe
she is somebody. In fact, she is al
most beginning to believe it herself.
AS result the boys who never paid
any attention to her are commencing
to sit up and take notice and the
girls are marveling at the sudden
change in her. But Georgette mere
" smiles and fourishes her stick.

Most Of Them, Like Certain Animals,
AIso Contain copper--AIds Process
Of Digestion.

Examination by Miss H. W. Sew
cry of Stanford university, of 16
denizens of the sea, from shrimps to
whales, has demonstrated that all
contain zinc and most of them cop
per. For several years it has been
known that copper is present in
oysters and sometimes it occurs to
such an extent that it colors them
green and may even give them o
metallic taste.
Miss Severy showed that copper
was also present in sea anemones,
sea urchins, shrimps, crabs, salmon
and ses lions, but was absent j
CLAIMS and whales. The average
amount of copper found in these
animals was about five parts in ten
million, while the zinc content
amounted to four parts in one mil
lion.
Certain animals, such as snakes,
have been known to have some cop
per in their blood which gave it the
blue color. 1t acts in the same way
the iron acts in the blood of higher
animals; it is carrier of oxygen to
the tissues. The part zinc plays in
the animal body has not been sscer-
tanned, although it is assured that it
functions as an aid to the digestive
fluids.

HAD MERELY GERM or IDEA
First Typs~rltIna Machines Wsrs
Crude Affairs at Which II WenId
Be UnkInd to Laugh.

An interesting exhibition is now
open at the Science museum, South
Kensington, showing the develop
ment of typewriters from 1929 to
the present year.
There is also q specimen copy of
the first letter ever typed. 1t was
typed by an American in New York
in 1880. 1t is estimated that the
first letter of not more than $50
words took over four hours to type.
The early typewriters are heavy,
cumbersome instruments, usually
made with piano keyboard. One
of them invented in 1865, is nearly
three feet square and could take only
q sheet of paper 21a inches by 4
inches, smaller than postcard. One
is shaped like a barrel. The first
machine that could type quicker than
one could write was not invented
until 1856.
Many of the early machines weigh
more than 20 pounds and can type
only capital letters. Figures in the
very early machines were unknown.
There are so exhibits in all.
So great is the demand for type
writer's nowadays that they are be-
ing made at the rate of rs an hour,
as compared with two year 80

MARRIAGE

Two or three weeks is plenty Of
time for courtship, observes George
L. Sherman, who is best man when
ever a sailor gets spliced at the
Charlestown navy yard.
Having observed hundreds of
matrimonial ventures, he claims
that most sailors marriages are
happy because they and their wives
get vacation from each other once
in while. That's what many civil
ians need, instead of divorce.

MODERN MARRIAGE

The most devoted husband has
moments when the only company he
wants is that of his own sex.
The Victorian idea that marriage
was a life sentence, and that the
welded couple were only allowed be-
yond the prison walls on a species
Of ticket-of-leave, is quite exploded.
The modern husband and wife each
have their own circle of intimates
and are all the more devoted for it.

KEITH'S-Miss Patricola.

An excellent program. music and
comedy predominating, is offered this
week at Keiths. that very popular sing
er, Miss Patricola, occupying the top
line position. Miss Patricola made a
wonderful hit at this place last year
when she appeared before a Washing
ton audience for the first time and her
reception last night was just as en-
phatic,- as at least a dozen curtain calls
were given her and she finally had to
beg off with neat little speech of
thanks. Her Offering consisted of new
dialect songs and every one went over
with mighty punch. She also accom-
panied herself with a violin in one num-
Der. demonstrating her ability in that
line.
Another good number was that offered
by George Austin Moore, who sings
we'll with several dialects to help out
and is assisted by a clever little lady
who comes from the audience on an in
vitation from Moore. who has been
pleading in a song for partneE. The
couple work well together and put over
several songs that are new and catchy.

ADJUSTMENTS
THE president a-'St's a Boy


The weeks play by the President
Players. Its Boy" proves to be
especially well adapted to the capa-
bilifies of the members of the stock
organization, and the opening per-
formance last evening revealed in
most effective way the amusing fea-
lures of that excellent comedy. There
Were countless laughs throughout tn e
three acts and prologue written by
William Anthony Mcclure, and no
MEMBER OF the company failed to
come through with some contribus
tfSn to the general hilarity. while
tneSe is also a real story with gem
uine dramatic interest.
II is the old game-the young man
engaged in a prosperous business,
which he has built up through his
own energy and capacity: the big
company that desires to control his
growing system of chain stores. and
the offer. which he accepts. of a large
salary with the established organiza-
tion on condition that he sell out his
own enterprise, only to find at the
end of year that his services are
not wanted and that he has not only
lost his own business, but the sub
to the old home town, the assistance
by friends and neighbors into a new
line of activity, and the prospective
return of prosperity.
JOnu Lltel, as chester Blake, the
young business man. and Edith King,
as his wife, Phyllis, whose desire for
luxury has led to the unfortunate in
cidents of the work in the big city,
have excellent roles, in which they
combine the amusing experiences of
the birth of a first child and the
more serious phases of disappoint-
ment in their financial affairs, the
latter involving moments in which
their acting is marked by strength of
characterization.
Adrian Morgan, as William O'Toole,
friend of Blake, cast for a Juvenile
part this week, proves to be a strong
member of the company, well adapted
TO the comedy which is abundantiy
supplied and a lively figure through
out the scenes of the play. Eunice
Hunt, the new ingenue, as Marjorie
Fletcher, friend of Mrs. Blake, also
contributes to the success of the pro-
duction, while Helen Travers. as Mary
Grayson, grandmother of the baby,
continues her excellent work
The others in the cast, all of whom
are deserving or praise. are J. Irving
White, as Judson Blake, the grand
father; Milton Boyle. as Maurice Hem
mendfnger. interesting dealer in pre-
cious stones; Ages Grant. Is Rita
Pendleton; Leo Lindhard. as r. w.
Pendleton, representative of big busi-
ness; Gustave Bowman, as Rev. David
Talbot, who officiates at the chris:
tening, and Joseph Attention, as Ken
meth Holmes.

C0sMOS-'The Carnival of Venice.

The vaudeville and photoplay head
liners this week of the Cosmos
Theater bill, alone probably offer
finer entertainment for the money
charged for admission than Wash
ipgton has had before. "The Car
nival of Venice" greatly improved
in setting and costuming and also by
the addition of two fine dancing num-
bers, returns with Mile. Donatella,
the wonderful tambourinist, heading
the galaxy of artists that compose
the company. While their selections
still include the attractive Italian
to the modern spirit of jazz which,
with Mile. Donatella's tambourine,
makes an applause-winning combina-
ton. The number runs longer than
formerly and is well worth seeing
and hearing.
The remainder of the acts make
largely for laughter and are, some
of them, both novel and very anus
ing. They include Boyle and Ben
