REST MADE EASY.
There Will Be Less Sleeplessness
When Augusta People Learn
This.
Can’t rest at night with a bad back,
A lame back, a weak or an aching
one.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for bad
backs.
They cure every form of kidney ills.
From common backache to dia
betes.
They are endorsed by Augusta peo
ple.
Mrs. Julia Lyons, 453 Taylor St.,
Augusta, Ga., says: "I suffered for
a long time from kidney and bladder
trouble. I had no control over the
kidney secretions and was caused
tnuch annoyance. My back ached all
file time and I could not stoop over
or lift without having severe pains
catch me in the small of my back. Be
ing on my feet so much of the time,
tended to aggravate the trouble and
I often had to sit down and rest. I
used plasters and other remedies, but
they did not help me. Finally 1 saw
Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised and
procured a box at the Green & Horsey
Drug Co. They acted like a charm.
My back was soon made stronger and
I felt better in every way. Doan’s
Kidney Pills did me a great deal of
good and I take pleasure in recom
mending them to others.”

cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo.

Washington Social Gossip
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The first
week of the New Year was fairly
danced in and out by Washington so
ciety which went en masse to the
charity ball on Monday, to Mrs.
Scott Townsend’s dinner dance i.i
Miss Roosevelt's honor, on Tuesday,
to the Bachelors’ first cotillion on
Wednesday, to a “small dance” at
the White house on Friday, and to a
military hop at the Navy Yard on
Saturday. With this record lor a
single week, the president’s second
daughter bids fair to break the rec
ord of her sister, now Mrs. Long
worth, who is said to have attended
no less than three hundred and fifty
nine dances during her first year as
a White house belle. In addition
to these, the then Alice Roosevelt
went to more than half a thousand
teas and almost as many dinner
parties as there were days in the
year, was the central figure in an in
ternational yacht christening, and
made plans for the now famous Phil
ippine trip with the destined succes
sors of her parents in the White
house.
Dinner Postponed.
The dinner which the Secretary of
State and Mrs. Root were to have
given according to custom, in honor
of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt
on Tuesday, has been indefinitely
postponed owing to Mrs. Root’s ob
servance of mourning for the recent,
death of her mother. The Secretary
of War and Mrs. Luke E. Wright,
whose tenure of official position is
so temporary, will therefore be the
first of the cabinet members to en
tertain for the chief executive and
his wife, and Tuesday, the day se
lected for events of a similar nature
this season. Thursday is again to
be “White House Night” as evidence
by the diplomatic reception given on
that night this week, and invitations
to the regular state dinner in honor
of the leading members of the for
eign coterie, which the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt have issued for next
Thursday evening.
White House Reception.
The official reception at the White
house in honor of the diplomatic
corps was naturally the most brilliant
event of the week, as well as of the
season. For it, the proud and promi
nent of many large cities joined the
elite of Washington in supplying a
wonderfully brilliant background for
a picture which can be seen but, once
a year and then only at the nation’s
capital, where the gaily caparisoned
representatives of Old World monar
chies and New World Republics, can
easily be secured as central figures.
The evening setting of this picture,
including myriads of multi-colored
electric lights enhancing the beautv
of fair women and brave men on
whose breasts there not infrequently
sparkled several times a king’s ran
som in jewelled decorations and or-
NEW YORK'S NAUTICAL TRAINING SHIP
ders, was the fairy touch which
I transformed the recently described
New Year’s reception into an immor
tal memory-canvas.
Guests Arrive.
The reception was scheduled for
nine l o’clock, but long before that
hour arrived, automobiles, carriages,
cabs and one hos’ shays, were lined
up for several blocks around the
White house, waning to enter the
great east gate to the president's
grounds. Comparatively speaking, an
! equally long line of guests on foot,
j was also on hand early, waiting for
I doors to open and the appearance of
an attendant to whom they could
hand the bit of pasteboard which was
to prove their open sesame to the
historic building. While these scenes
were being enacted on the east side,
the guests of honor, and men and
women whose official position en
titled them to precedence, were ar
riving through a special gate at the
other end, and entering the White
house by a south basement door.
Once inside, these highly favored
guests—and how highly favored none
but those who have stood for hours
for the line to move on and upward,
really appreciate—left their wraps in
an ante-room whose chief object of in
terest is the McKinley mahoghany
dining table upon which some of the
cloaks were placed, crossed the hall
where the portraits of former mis
tresses of the mansion have hung
since the remodeling of the house in
1902, and hurried in an up-to-date el 3-
vator the floor above, where an offi
cial functionary promptly conducted
(hem to their proper group it: th j
social world there assembled. Just
where that was depended greatlv
upon the hour. If before nine, and
the guest, a diplomat of hign degree,
he was taken to the Red Parlor
where the time between the greet
ing of his colleagues and felicitating
the receiving party, was spent in ad
miring the portraits of Washington,
and Jefferson and other objects of his
toric interest—not excepting Mrs.
Roosevelt's collection of Japanese
dolls, which make the room far and
a-wav the most pleasing one in the
state suite. If he chanced to be a
man of lesser rank in the coterie of
honored guests, hd was obliged to
content himself gazing into the eyes
of the deer which adorn the walls
of the state dining room or endeavor
ing to decipher the hieroglyphic In
scription on the pieces of tapestry
which hang over mantel and north
end, until his turn came for admit
tance to the blue room in the order
of his rank on the official diplomatic
list. jl
Members cabinet, officer's fam
ily or of a supreme court justice's j
household, relatives of former occu
pants of the White house, their
guests and particular followers are
in any case, conveyed at once to the
blue room, from whence they may
wend their way at pleasure, after the
guests of honor of course to a place
in the line passing the host and hos
tesses of the evening, returning to
their place “in front of the line” b/
way of the Green Parlor. The lat
ter, by the way, is the least attrac
tive room on the main floor of the
home of president and is rarely used
for anything but a “clearing house”
for the sheep and the goats among
the president's guests on state occa
sions. Its chief claim to popular in
terest. Is its being the repository . f
the Napoleon clock presented hy La
fayette on the occasion of his last
visit to this coun'ry; a wonderfully
wrought Japanese cabinet presented

ALCOHOL IS A PRESERVATIVE.
Alcohol is recognized the world
over as the proper, most efficient and
wholesome preserver of medicinal
compounds, and while some journal
ists try to alarm the world by the
cry that patent "medicines contain
more alcohol than beer,’’ they neglect
to state that proprietary medicines
are taken in doses from a teaspoon
ful to a tablespoonful, while beer is a
beverage that is consumed in quan
tities from a glass to several quarts
a day.

pound contains only 18 per cent al

roots and herbs from which It is

modore Perry; a gold-mounted tap

AH Seek Blue Room.
If the guest is a “goat” he will
not be allowed to tarry long in this
loom, and will the sooner reach the
east room, w'hich is the real goal of
everyone when a large reception Is
on the tapis, since obviously, the
Blue Room will not contain all of the
“specially invited” and a majority of
them soon find the air and extra
space afforded by the larger room
to be vastly more comfortable. Then
too, even “old stagers” among them,
like to see and be seen, and cer
tainly no better place to show off
one’s good clothes and pretty man
ners can be imagined than this beau
tiful room olj simple decoration and
historic memories. Gay young creat
ures belonging to what is Becoming
known as the Ethel Roosevelt, set, in
light shimmering satin or thinner ma
terial, and adorned only by the
beauty of youth, flitted in and out
during the Thursday evening recep
tion between groups composed of
Vice-president Fairbankp, the British
Ambassador, Mr. James Bryce, Mon
sieur Jusserand of the French Embas
sy and Rear Admiral Robley D.
Evans, on the one hand; Speaker
Cannon of the house of representa
tives in the center of a conspicuous
group of law-makers, on the other
and here and there little clusters of
men and women whose names aro
familiar to newspaper readers In
many countries, as belonging to peo
ple who accomplish things worth
while.
All Over.
The signal that all Is over, come?
at. ten-thirty, when sufficient, space
is cleared to permit the receiving
party led by the President and Mrs.
Roosevell and preceded by a quartet
te of military and naval aides, to
make a grand detour of th<> Green
Room, a corner of the east room,
thence through the main corridor to
the marble stairway which they an
cend to'the real home of the presi
dent’s family.
The scramble for carriages which
Immediately follows, is not a wholly
uninteresting part, of the ceremony,
especially when one hears “Senator
Dolliver’s one hos’ shay” called for
and (he order for the Oauternaulan
minister’s carriage passed down the
line of attendants as the “Watermel
on minister's kerrldge.”
Notable Absentees.
Among the notable absentees rrom
this and other social gatherings ut
the week, were the Italian Ambas
sador and Baroness Mayor dot.
Planches, who have cancelled all of
their social engagements since hear
ing the details of the disaster in
Southern Italy, and the Chinese min
ister, Mr. Wu Ting Fang, who with
Madame Wu, and the members of
their legation, as well as of the spe
cial Chinesd embassy, have declined
all invitations since the death of
their emperor and his mother, sev
eral weeks ago. The withdrawal of
these Interesting and contributory
members of society from affairs of a
purely social nature has cast a shad
ow over their fellows which Is dis
pelled only by their occasional ap
pearance at a musical offering like
that of the Boston Symphony Orches
tra, or a choice drarna like the “Great
Divide” of Henry Miller. Botl) of
these attractions drew large and aris
tocratic audiences during their Wash
ington engagements, as did also Mary
Mannoring In the much-talked about
“House ot Cards.” The president’s
box was in demand for each and in
the case of the Boston Symphony
concert, when Miscba Elman was to
play and Max Fielder lead at the
single performance, Mrs. Rooseve't
surrounded herself with a notable
company of music lovers. Her son
in law, Representative I.s>ngworth,
who was included In the group, re
cently surprised Washington by dis
playing not only talent but regular
practice with the bow, ar*l a fami
liarity with the best violin music,
which is little short, of marvellous
considering the many constant de
mands upon his' time.

NEW YORK. —Cotton resumed Its
upward trend today under the influ
ence of good cables and buying both
by spot and commission houses, one
of the latter with Dostori connections
being prominent, as buyers of May.
Initial prices ware about, unchanged
but by 1 o’clock the market had gain
ed eight points for March and May
and three to five points for the later
months, The "pointer" on the in
sight. for the week was 806,000 to
816,000 compared with 370,000 last
week and 325,000 last year and there
was some buying on It, indicating as
it does a precipitate falling off in
the movement. Southern interior
markets were reported very firm and
a big southern spot handler was
quoted as characterizing the present
attitude of the Interior as nothing
short of a craze. He says: “That
southern markets are advancing more
rapidly than futures and that, the
holding movement Is developing un
precedentedly on the part, of the
farmer! In his opinion poeple short
