Theodore Josephson, 515 Seventh
St., Astoria, Oregon, says: "About
five years ago I used Doan's Kidney
Pills and derived great benefit. At
that time I was suffering from se
vere pains across my back and loins,
at times so severe that I was unable
to stoop or straighten. My kidneys
also bothered me a great deal, the se
cretions generally being too frequent
in passage. At last Doan's Kidney
Pills were brought to my attention
and I procured a box. I used them
and as a result my health is now ex
cellent. I take a few doses of Doan's
Kidney Pills now and then, when
feeling any sign of backache and they
never fail to banish the trouble."

was stabled throughout the evening lu
a room adjoining i he kitchen until the
time lor his "turn" arrived. About
midnight, when the serious part of the
entertainment was over, Private llarry
Stacy Benton of the signal corps sad
dled the donkey and rode htm at as
near a pellmell gait as a donkey can
be prodded into straight into the din
ing room and around among the tables,
while the guests roared and howled
with glee and made every effort to dis
concert both steed and rider and inci
dentally to upset the latter. Attached
to the donkey's tall was a New York
state automobile license as a delicate
compliment to the Automobile Club of
America, several leading members of
which were guests of the signal corps.
Private Benton was aceoutered as a
??,r correspondent and went through

inent guests as he rode by, and, con
trary to the expectation of many of
the guests, got through without break
ing either furniture or bOUes.
Mrs. BallinKton Booth, wife of the
commander of the Volunteers of Amer
ica, was operated on recently for ap
pendicitis, with certain vither compli
cations, and came throtivu the opera
tion, according to th?. surgeons in
charge, "as weU as could be expected."* |
It is hoped Mrs. Rooth will bo able to
resume her work with t ho organiza
tion early in the summer. .Mrs. Booth's j
Illness Is of long standing. For soiijc
time she had suffered great pain and I
au operation was decided upon. But ]
there the surgeous met the diiliculty
that Mrs. Booth for even a longer time
had been subject to an affection of the |
heart. At last, however, physicians
and surgeons decided an operation i
could be performed safely. l?r. How- [
nrd Kelly of Baltimore was sele< led as
surgeon in charge. Every Indication
is that Mrs. Booth's health will be en
tirely restored.
New York Is to have a race course
for tlylng machines. It Is to be on
grounds controlled by the I*ong Island

An automobile ambulance service,
among the most elHcient in the world,
has boon installed at Flower hospital.
The hospital, which is conducted in

has increased its ambulance work on
account of the abandonment of the
Itoosevelt hospital service, in order to
care for the Increase an automobile
ambulance has been obtained for the
calls farthest distant from the hospi

for changing the entire service grad

l-'roin present Indications it looks as
though the Now York to Seattle inter
national automobile race would lie
started 011 May L'u from this city, ten
days earlier than was originally In
tended. The contest board of the Au
tomobile Club of America recommend
ed to Tom Moore, tho promoter of tho
contest, upon his arrival from Seattle
that the earlier date was advisable.

The requested change was at once
wired to Seattle. The senators of the
state of Washington are contemplating
arrangements whereby I 'resident Taft
will push a button at the White House
ringing a bell in this city for the start
of the race. It is also hoped that
Mayor McClellan will be at the start
ing line to tire a pistol simultaneously
with the ringing of the bell. Arrange
ments have been completed for the
housing of tiie competing cars upon
their arrival at Seattle. The officers
