A merciless judge Is Father Time.
Before him the weak and the wanting
go to the wall. Only tho truth can
stand. For years the following state-
ment from a Graecmont resident has
withstood this sternest of nil tests.
H. W. Thorpe Graecmont Okla..
says: "Some years ago I fel! and it
affected my left kidney..Atter that my
back was weak and lame. I was un-
able to work a day and was laid up all
one summer. It was just a constant
misery. My back ashed and pained so
severely that I wished many times to
die. I finally learned of Doan's Kidney
Pills and began using them. They
completely cured me and I was able
to work once more. I haven't lost a
day since. My back Is strong now and
I feel perfectly well."
Cure Proved Permanent
Over three years later Mr. Thorpe
said :
made for me has been permanent."

BILLY SUNDAY TO
PRESS WAR ON VICE
(By George Martin)
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York Dec. 28 Powerful forces
both sinister and benign are lining up
here today for the case of Billy Sunday
versus Broadway Wall Street. Bohe-
mia et al w hich goes to trial April 1.
What sort of reception Sunday and
his old time shouting Methodist camp
meeting style will get in the world's
gayest richest wickedest most mater-
ial city is the subject of much specu-
lation among the residents. He will
be the biggest attraction the Old Town
has seen for years and it is predicted
that great mobs will literally fight to
get near his giant tabernacle.
It will be a battle royal; and prepa-
I rations are being made accordingly.
Billy and Broadway have been sparring
for position for several y.-ars; and now
at last the Evangelist is coming to
fight the devil in his own home town.
Broadway as Broadway seems to
have paid little heed to Sunday's plans.
But scratch the surface and you find
that what Cyclone Davis calls The Boys
of .Booze and Boodle are not asleep.
The belligerent. Billy though busy
w ith Boston is watching carefully every
move in his campaign here. Already
a small army of Sundayites are or-
ganizing the Big Town. On January!
11 a brigade of the evangelist's most
remarkable trail hitters from every
city he has invaded will march on the
metropolis and take it by storm. This

"Billy Sunday Incorporated" with
John D. Rockefeller Jr. as one of the
principal stockholders is officially in
existence in New York City. Plans
for the erection of the mammoth tab-
ernacle the great pine and sawdust
temple for the spiritually unwashed
are well under way. Soon it will rear
its rough hewn dome above the Upper
Manhattan hinterland of the Great and
Gay White Way whose gleaming
searchlights ever beckon the pleasure-
lorn from the far four corners of the
earth.
Committemen and women have divi-
ded the city into sections and the pop-
ulation into classes for organization on
a house to house and man to man basis.
Mrs. William Astor for instance has
charge of all work among New York j
scrubwomen domestics factory girls
and hospital nurses.
No one has been neglected. Bible
meetings and song services will be held
daily on the New York Curb and at
the portals of the New York Stock Ex-
change. Wall Street will be combed
for the spiritually unwashed. That
work is even now under way.
Unquestionably Sunday faces the
chance of a lifetime In New York.
