CHRISTCHURCH MOTHERS WILL PROFIT BY THE EXPERIENCE

Among all classes of people we find children (suffering from weak kidneys. The intelligent mother knows that this is not a habit, and searches for the remedy. Ifc is something very 'hard to. relieve, and the family physician tells her the child will grow out of ifc in time. Sometimes they do, and) sometimes they do not. In the meantime, annoyance and embarrassment is the result. If anyone knows a remedy, is it nofc an acfc of charity, is ifc not a duty, to make ib public? Should selfishness or pride keep ifc concealed? Mrs Hoban, of 114, Peterborough Street, this city, has used Doan's Kidney Pills in her family, and makes the following statement for the benefit of anxious motberSj and the relief of interesting little children : — "I can strongly recommend Doan's Backache Kidney Pills for weak kidneys. My boy was pretty bad in that way, and had been for some time, and) I could never, gefc a cure for t^ trouble. Indeed, it is very liard to cure this sort of ailment, as I kn«w by experience, but I am glad to say that Doan's Kidney Pills have proved successful. ., Mothers should know about such a fierviceabie medicine as DOAN'S Backache Kidney Pills. My lad is so well now that he does .not need to use them. I-. got the Pills at' Bonnington's Pharmacy.'' : . Take no substitute. You want the genuine kidney remedy, that of .which Mrs Hoban speaks. \ , Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers,- at 3s per box (six boxes. 16s 6d) ;' or will, be posted, on receipt of fche price, by the proprietors, Fosfcer-M'Clellan and Co., 76, Pitt Street, Sydney, N.S.W. y ■ 'yy X ■ ' -\.] But be sums they are DOAN'S. 27

Thirty-four firsts already, and representing nearly £800. Walker was on or about the scratch mark ten years ago. He has never moved from it since. He is still young and strong. He leads an exemplary life, almost worshipping his physical development, and always jealous of its career. He does not smoke, and is a total abstainer. It is a long time since we have had an undoubted champion of Australia. Walker is quite that this season.

Maurice Randrup's version of the race in which he was disqualified for three months, a<s given to the Australian "Cyclist," is as follows : — At the 'bell I was leading. Taylor had my wheel, and when Hearing the main entrance Morgan and M'Donald came on the outside, followed by Pye. They alii got past me, and that's all I know about it. At the conclusion of the race the offi- < ciala called me over and asked me for an explanation, but I couldn't tell them anything more than I tell you. After con-i siderajtion, when they said you are disqualified for three months, I was very surprised,, as l . had not the slightest notion of interfering with Taylor in any way. I have been riding in Melbourne for two seasons. Prior to that I raced for four years in New Zealand, and during all that time I had never been so much as called up by the officials. I feel this disqualification very much, and even if it is rubbed off, as. Ii hope it will be when my appeal 1 is being considered, I shall carry the stigma for* many a long day. Of tbe final heat of the. Druids' Wheel Race "Wanderer' in the Melbourne "Sports- j man" has the following: — Before the start some money went on M'Donald. The money came from the right quarter. There were a couple of " stoppers "in the front division, riding in the interests of either Walker or M'Donald-.: They carried oub tlieir part of the business i£ an audacious way. Rivers held out hia arm. in protest, drawing tlie stewards' attention to the deliberate slowing of the paoe. Of course,, the back men got up., When the bustling started M'Donald seemed to have no vim. He was evidently done up. . It was a race between Walker and a couple of the front men. The champion nearly got even coming up tbe straight. But old Browne showed a great turn of speed. He staved off WaHcer's rush. Colman was racing the pair a bit away. Ten yards from the post Browne jumped, and got a couple of feet the better of it. Walker made a dash. He juat managed to get home by a few inches. Colman was but a yard away, third. "Wheeler," in the Sydney "Referee," hsffs the following concerning Don Walker and his future prospects : —As he "bloomed" late in life after ten years' racing, there does not seem any reason why Don Walker, the Victorian crack, should not be one of the first flight for several seasons ypt. The chief grounds for believing that are: — Walker is one of the spare kind, not likely to fall into flesh— it is suggestive of his nervous temperament. His phenomenally easy method of riding, too, causes him to succeed with the least* possible expenditure of energy, so that he can race through a whole season without the same danger of " staking" that attends the rider who makes very hard work of his pedalling. In training he also takes matters quietly, and does not do half the graft which some of the others think necessary. Qf course, this is largely a matter of constitution, for some athletes (like gross horses) only thrive upon heavy work." Still, there are not a | few of our cyclists who overdo their training, particularly in the height of the racI ing season, when, beyond the work with I colours up, edsy riding" is all that is needed, I and that once a day. That is, once they I have got into condition. Walker's career this season has been a remarkable one, for on performances he stands out abnost as much superior to the remainder of the Australians as Taylor does, and while he could, for instance, almost invariably beat M'Donald (who was the only one to successI fully engage Taylor), yet the Australian ' champion abvays made a wretched show against the American crack. That Walker is so superior to the rest of the Australians 1 this season is partly due to this. He alone of the old brigade has made improvement, while none of the younger ones, though doing well in handicaps, ha*re pret shown any approach to first flight form in scratch races. Megson is out of it just now, Walne has been wofully unlucky, and Morgan and Jackson have failed tb ride even up to their former best this season.
