representations of the daily twork dons

Mrs. Mary Delaney, 617 Twenty-sixth
St., Galveston, Texas, says: “I recom-
mend Dpan’s Kidney Pills at this time
as highly as I dfd over a year ago as
they are, in my estimation, a good
remedy. I was a sufferer from kidney
disease for a number of years and noth-
ing I tried brought me relief. At times
I was so bad that I could not stoop. X
also had headaches, dizzy spells and a
never ceasing pain in my back. Tha
kidney secretions were unnatural and
their irregular passages caused me an-
noyance. I finally procured a box of
Doan's Kidney Pills at Schott’s drug
store and after taking the contents X
was in better health than I had been Jtj
years.”

Chlago, Sept. 8.—Prof. George Burn-

attacked by clergymen of the

Special to The Tribune.
Berlin, Sept. 8.—The beer war which
has broken out in Germany as a result
of an increased tax on the Fatherland’s
favorite beverage is spreading a re-
markable wave of teetotalism through-
out the country.
The attempt of the breweries and sa-
loon keepers to raise the price of beer
to recoup themselves for the higher tax
is meeting with angry resistance every-
where. The workingmen, who are great
consumers, of beer, are taking the lead
in a general boycott movement, de-
claring that they will confine them-
selves to coffee, milk, lemonade and
mineral water until the saloon keepers
surrender.
The effect of this campaign of self-
denial is shown by what is taking place
at the great imperial dockyards at Kiel.
The 8000 men employed there are ac-
customed to buy and drink 12,000 bot-
tles of beer a day. Since Aug. 15,
when the boycott went into effect, the
sale has fallen to 120 bottles a day. It
has been found not only that the work-
ingmen are able to endure a beerless
diet without difficulty, but that they
are actually capable of better and more
qnergetic labor.
The abstinence party, which has
rajjier hard sledding in Germany, is de-
lighted at the turn the beer war has
taken, and hopes that the prevailing
boycott will be of permanent benefit
to the temperance cause.
At many points the boycott has al-
ready proved successful, beer prices
having been restored to their former
level. In other places the breweries
and saloon keepers are standing firm,
being content to suffer a temporary
loss of justness in the belief that it
v^» not be long before their former
patrons will tire of temperance drinks
and gradually ccustom themselves to
paying the slightly increased price de-
manded for the beer they have been
accustomed to regard as a necessity.

Austin, Tex., Sept. 8.—The board of
pardon advisers , yesterday afternoon
acted on three of the dozen or so
cases recommended for pardon by the
penitentiary investigation committee, '
as a result of the partial investigations
made by the committee some time ago.
Of the three cases two received a fa-
vorable recommendation to the
ernor and one unfavorable.

vorable recommendation was made,
was convicted in the district court of
Johnson county in 1906 on a charge of
rape and given six years in the peni-
tentiary. He is said to -be a physical
wreck, and is a white man. L. F.

ceived a favorable report, was con-
victed from Grayson county in 1908

penitentiary on a charge of horse theft.

of the case. There are quite a number
of other cases submitted by the inves-
tigation committee that have not as
yet been reached. It is expected that
the governor will act on these appli-
cations on his return to the capital.
