May B.—-The Taft and Roosevelt national headquarters have clashed over the Maryland pri mary results. The word "lie” was free ly used by Senator Dixon, head of the Roosevelt committee. The Taft head quarters put out a statement on the Maryland result, part .of which fol lows: "More than half of Mr. Roosevelt's entire delegate vote came from the city and county of Baltimore, where it is stated the Roosevelt managers placed SIO,OOO among their workers at an early hour Monday." Deliberate Lie, Says Dixon, This statement was delivered in the Roosevelt headquarters, the rival or ganizations having an amicable ai - rangement whereby they exchange daily bulletins and statements.

When night came I could not rest well and in the morning when I got up, I was lame and stiff. I tried several medicines that were said to be good for kidney com plaint, but found no relief until I ob tained Doan's Kidney Pills.

Mudge, president of the Rock Island road, the contention that a man who passes the 45-year age limit Is no longer useful is the veriest nonsense. Mr. Mudge is fifty-five years old and says he never felt better fitted for work. "A man over 45 years of age no longer useful?” he responded In repeat ing the question. “That’s al! bosh. I’m 55 myself, and no one can say I’m not active. A man is in his prime at 45. Os course, there is an unofficial rule that a railroad company does not want to take new men into the service at 45. We want them before they get to the prime stage, so that they will be prime in the service at 45.” PIPE KEEPS HEALTH GOOD, 82-YEAR-OLD WOMAN SAYS NORTHFIELD, MINN., May 4.—Mrs Dennis Bebaut, who has just celebrated her eighty-second birthday, attributes her long life and excellent' health to the use of tobacco.

Reunion Crowd Drinks Nine Million Gallons- Not Beer-Just Water MACON, GA., May 8.-The 50.000 vis itors in attendance upon the reunion are drinking, and drinking heavily. The 50,- 000 inhabitants of Macon are also drink ing very heavily. In spite of that, how ever. the police dockets do not show a great number of entries and the near beer saloons have not done an enormous business. The reason for which Is found In the fact that both visitors and residents have been patronizing the city water works. Since Mondaj' more than 9,000,000 gallons of water has been consumed by the vet erans and their friends. As a result, ft looked for a while as If there might be a water famine In Macon, but danger of that has now passed. 5
