safety and health of Its employees
and the public.
The railroad committee In Massa
chusetts legislation Is divided on the

provides that the state retain its
claim on the stock.
The last of the costs In the Mis

pression that the Chicago Great

Illinois, the Pere Marquette and the
Detroit, Toledo and Ironton are on

NPOKTINd TALK
Now that Jack Johnson has testi
fied his rest, he is beginning to talk
seriously about a fight with Sam
Langford. Jack has really surprised
his admirers, although there are
many who still criticize him for not
having knocked out Moran before
the twentieth round, claiming that
he could have done so. The fighters
are taking Moran's word for it that
Jack is still a wonderful fighting ma
chine and there is no doubt that the
champion will be able to dictate any
terms he desires In. making matches
for the next year or so.
Jimmy Kllroy, the boy manager,
continues to scold the lightweights
for .ignoring his title aspirant, Jim
my Cassldy, of Chicago, and unless
some of the alleged champs up and
allow this Cassidy person to beat
them down the boy manager Is going
to pack his plaited shirt, and B. V.
D., and take his battler out to Den
ver, or some other western point,
where the opponents are not so
scarce.
American League pitchers are get
ting so they fear Veach, the young
outfielder of the Tigers, as much as
they do Cobb or Crawford. The
youngster is rather pleased at the
compliment, too. The Tigers are
proud of Veach and are keeping a
watchful eye upon him.
Baseball is barred from the Olym
pic games of 1916 on the theory that
the game is not played in six dis
tinct countries. The Olympic com
mittee has another guess coming.
Baseball is played in the United
States, Canada, Japan, Cuba, Austra
lia and Brooklyn.
No golde nharvest will be reaped
in organized baseball this year. Sal
aries have gone up and receipts have
come down. The Federal League is
responsible for the first reason, even
if not for the second. In spite of all
the bad things that have been wished
upon the Feds they seem still to be
holding their own.
There is every reason to believe
that the Resolute can be so improv
ed upon that she will show the best
front to Sir Thomas Lipton's challen
ger In the race for the American
cup. In the races that have been
held the Herreshoff cup has exhibit
ed far more strong points than weak
ones, and it is believed that she can
be improved upon in many ways.
There is likely to be some lively rac
ing, however, before the final decis
ion is made in favor of the Resolute.
If Cobb is reall yashamed of hav
ing slugged the butcher boy and is
actually contemplating a Fed elop
ment, it might be well for Prexy
Gllmore to send a squad around with
the Tigers to twit Cobb about his
prowess and making him ashamed
to the jumping point.
Yale may not be quite back, but
she Is on the way. It has been some
time since the Blue has fluttered as
high as it has fluttered this spring.
But Yale's situation next autumn is
fraught with many complexities.
Princeton, Notre Dame, Colgate and
several of the smaller colleges are
primed with some of the best mater
ial that they ever had, and as Yale
Is planning to meet them In various
events, unusually careful prepara
tion will be necessary.

Mrs. Robert Dickneli, 504 Big

have known of the merit of Doan's
idney Pills for over three years. I
fln-t used them In Pleasanton, Iowa.
For years I had kidney complaint
and was unable to find permanent
relief until I began using Doan's
ldney Pills. They removed the pain
In my loins and also strtnrthened
my back. Since then I have felt like
a different person. I cannot recom

brought."

Meat forms urie acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular eat
ers of meat must flush the kidneys occa
sionally. You must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all tbs
acids, waBte and poison, else you feel a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, diz
ziness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before break
fast for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders dis
appear. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate slug-
pish kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makes a Jeliphtful efTerveaccnt litbia
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidnay and bladder diseases.

American Telephones
Lead the World
If telephone rates are high and service poor,
the use of the service is necessarily limited, but
if the rates are reasonable and the service good,
there will be liberal use of the telephone.
The European governments have had no in
centive to maintain good service and reasonable
rates, as have the private companies in Amer
ica. That is the reason Europe has only one
telephone for every 150 persons, while in the
United States there is one telephone for every
ten persons.
