Mrs. D. Mason, 2715 East C St.,

sympto-a of kidney trouble iu my
ease was a dull, heavy aching iu
my l;;'ck. My back got lam© aad
weals and I had severe headache;
and d'7zy spells. The kidney se
cretions were too frequent and
distressing in passage. I always
felt »irt d and worn out. 1 tried a
number of mediv.'nes, but wasn't
benefited until 1 used Doan's Kid

SLOW ARMY EXPANSION
It appears that the plana of con
gress for army growth aro to be
carried into effect far iu the future.
Money la to ho provided for only
105,000 men in the next fiscal year.
It is hoped that there will be 211,
000 by 1921.
Such preparations for| national
defense Test upon the assumption
that the oountry will be able to
dodge all graYe trouble with power
ful riyals for the next fire years.
The theory is that the American
republic can take its own time to
get ready to protect its rights.
It is to be hoped that the plans
A DOUBLE
MISTAKE
By ELINOR MARSH
"Ah, Mr. Edmonds! Happy to see
you. But I confess that I am sur
prised."
"At what, may 1 ask?"
"Mother wrote me that jou were
very young looking for your age, but
I did not expect to xee a man who can
not have reached middle age."
"And I have been told that you, too.
do not look your aga"
"I? Wliy, how old do you think me?"
"A man has no right to think at all
about a lady's age. I was given to un
derstand that you do not look forty."
" Forty r
"That's what 1 was told. To me you
don't look over twenty. But perhaps
there are two of you about twenty
each."
"You speak In riddles."
"Did you never hear of the man who
said that a woman of forty should be
like a bank bill that may be changed
for two twenties? Ha, ha!"
Mr. Edmonds was the only one of
the two who laughed at his own Joke.
Miss Fielding looked at him, wonder
ing If he were not a trifle daft Her
mother, who was a widow, had writ
ten her that she was engaged to be
married to a Mr. Edmonds, who wouid
call upon her; that he was of suitable
age for the mother and she hoped
Gwen would be pleased with him.
Was her mother to marry a man who
appeared to be fifteen or twenty years
younger than herself, who cracked
jokes about changing the woman he
was to marry fop two girls? What did
it all mean? »
As for Edmonds, bis father had
written Mm of his engagement and
had asked him to call on his fiancee,
who would be at home after a certain
date. He supposed he was calling on
I his future stepmother, and Gwen sup
posed she was receiving her future
stepfather.
"1 must confess, Mr. Edmonds," said
Gwen coldly, "that you are quite a dif
ferent man from the one I expected to
see."
"And I confess," was the smiling re
ply, "that 1 am very agreeably disap
pointed In you."
Gwen looked at htm with a blank
stare. "What kind of a person did
you expect to meet?" she asked.
"A woman twice your age."
"And 1 expected to find In yoT a man
from fifty to sixty."
"My father In that case would be
from eighty to a hundred."
"I am not considering your father.
I am speaking of a man of suitable
age"—
"But would you consider a man
three-quarters of a century old a suita
ble match for a girl"—
"Girl! Do you consider my mother
a girir
It was now Mr. Edmonds' turn to
be astonished. "I was given to under
stand that both your parents were
dead." be said.
"My father is dead, but I assure you
that if you are to talk as nonsensically
to my mother as you have been talk
ing to me you'll And her very much
alive. I assure yon she will not l>rook
a proposal to change her for two young
girls."
"All I have to say," rejoined Mr. Ed
monda. with a puzzled look on his face,
"is that, while I know nothing what
ever of the prospective mother-in-law.
the bride to be is very charming."
"What mother-in-law*" _ .
fcr naval development an-d for the
' creation of a strong Becond llna of
defense on land, in the form of
well-trained civilian soldtery, are
1 not to match tho army program In
indifference to immediate needs and ,
j possible perils. Tho plana favored
by the democratic majority In ra
sped to the regular army are so
easy-going, so careless of impend
ing dangers and bo ostrich-like in
their alindnesa that they cannot
fail to excite derision In Europe.
The country makes no mistake
in believing that thorough and ade
quate olans for national defense
must !*gin with a sweeping change
in the control of the national gov
ernment, in t\e> White House and
iu both housfs of congress.
"My fathers f rear niac it uuc ;a .
disposed to be cranky there will be ,
trouble In the family. My father Is a
well disposed man and I am sure will
be able to get on with his bride, but
as for a motber-in-law, if she is like
the most of them It will be a monkey
and a parrot busiuess between them."
Miss Fielding stood looking nt Mr.
Edmonds with amazement and grow
Ing anger for a few moments, then
swept out of the room, saying as she
went that her mother must have gone ;
stark, staring mad. Reaching tho
front door she went out. shutting it
behind her not over carefully.
"I wonder what the governor means,"
said Mr. Edmonds to himself, "by ty
ing himself np to a young thing like
that and evidently with a flne temper.
And won't she make It hot for me!"
He waited until Gwen had had time .
to get some distance from the house, '
then went into the hall, took his hat, '<
crammed It down on his head, and <
went his way.
The nest day Mrs. Fielding returned,
learned that Mr. Edmonds bad called i
and asked Owen If she was pleased ■
with him.
"Pleased with him!" said Gwen
"Mamma, have you gone mad to en
gage yourself to a young fellow who
says he would like to change you for
two girls, each twenty years old?" |
"Gwen! What do you mean?"
"Why. mother: he's young enough to
be your son."
"He Is sixty-two."
Mother and daughter looked at each
other without speaking.
"Are you sure that It was Mr. Ed
monds who called?" asked the mother.
Gwen went to a dresser, took a card
from it and banded it to her mother.
"Why. this Is Harry's card."
"Harry?"
"Yes. stupid! Didn't you see the
Junior on It? Harry is Mr. Edmonds'
only sou. He is worth $250,000 In his
own right and would make a good
catch for you."
"Catch!" cried Gwen In dismay. "1
expect he considers that he has caught
a tartar."
Anything For an Excuse.
Mrs. Homebody—Did you match thai
piece of mouse colored velvet for me?
Her Husband—No, my dear. Yob
forgot to give me the mouse.—Boston

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Cancar Precaution*.
A writer In a medical Journal ■
mentions, among tbe kind of <
things on the skin which must <
be observed for cancer, all <
moled and warts which grow In
size: all moles which change
their color and grow dark brown
or black: all scaling warts, es
pecially on the lips, the ears, the
eyelids, the cheeks or the hands.
He further statos that "per
haps tbe most frequent excitant
of all. so far aB skin cancer Is
concerned. Is dandruff. It falls
from tbe scalp and lights on the
ear, eyelids, nose, neck, lips and
face, and If there Is already a
scaling spot or a thickening or
a wart, a mole or a gland ready
to receive the dandruff scale It
sets this spot alive with activity,
and It goes on to form a skin
cancer. Probably CO per cent of
skin cancers are due to thU
cause, and many a cancer has
been prevented and may be pre
vented by curing the dandruff or
by preventing It" <
