WHY 1T SUCCEEDS.
Because It's for One Thing Only and
Danville is Learning This.

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing well brings success
Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing only.
They re for sick kidneys.
They cure backache, every kidney i'll.

Il was not well for long time. When
working my back became so lame and

night | could hardly straighten. Head
aches and WEAKNESS disinclined me for
anything, and in addition | was troubl-
ed with Indigestion. | read about
Doans Kidney Pills and as my doctor S

them and found the most satisfactory
results from their use. They are the

the readers OF this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded dis
ease that science has been able to cure in all
its stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires n
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood and mucous surface of the sys-
TEN, thereby destroying the foundation OF
the disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing the work. The proprietors

Nature makes all things beautiful in

Nature makes all things beautiful in
their time" Every one of life's seasons
when life moves on Natures lines has
its own charm and beauty. Many
woman dread that period when they
must experience change of life. They
fear that face and form may suffer by
the change, and that they may fail to
please those whom they love. The val

the fact that it assists Nature. It's use
preserves the balance and buoyancy of

 Charles R. Underhill of Bridgeport, an employe of the New Haven Carriage company, was arrested yesterday after noon by Detective Daily on the charge of stealing valuable wire of a special in- sulated quality from the company by which he has been employed. For the past month the wire has been missed, but it was not until Thursday that complaint was made to Captain CCWles of the detective bureau, who at once de- tailed Dalv on the case Underhill has been employed in wiring automobiles, which the company is manufacturing, and the wire which he used and is charged with having stolen is made es- pecially for that purpose and is worth twelve cents foot Daily suspected TTnderhiI of the thefts and yesterday afternoon went to Bridgeport where he searched Underhills house. There he found about 400 feet of the wire. Re- turning to New Haven he went to the carriage shop and arrested Underhill, who finally acknowledged the thefts He will probably be tried on several counts for taking the wire on different occasions instead of on one count for the full amount The value of the stolen wire is about $50.

QUIT WHITE B READ. Could Not Get Strength Drom It

An Episcopalian minister of Ellen vile, N. Y, who is interested not only in the spiritual welfare of his congrega- ton, but in their physical well-being also, says: T can now do an immense amount of work and feel no fatigue, for the reason that l am using Grape Nuts breakfast food and have quit cof- fee entirely and am using Postum Food Coffee.
 Myself and family are all greatly improved in health. We have largely abandoned the use of white bread. Up wards of twenty-five persons have changed their diet, on my recommends ton. It is gladly given, because l know from personal experience whereof I speak"
 It is a well known fact that white bread is almost entirely composed of starch, and this is difficult of digestion bv many people, particularly those who have weak intestinal digestion. The result of the use of much white bread is a lack of brain and nervous power to do mental work, and it also creates intestinal troubles, because the excess of starch ferments in the intestines and makes the conditions right for the growth of microbes; whereas Grape Nuts breakfast food contains the need ed starch, but in predigested form That is, it is transformed into grape sugar in the process of manufacture, and delivered in the packages, ready cooked, and in such shape that it is inn mediately assimitated without hard work of the digestive organs.

Ceremonies Held Yesterday With Ap-

 Yesterday afternoon the new tiagpole was erected on the little park on Court street in front of fire head quarters and the star spangled banner was flung to the breeze there with ap- propriate ceremonies Superintendent of Fire Alarm Telegraph James Grant superintended the erection of the pole and hauled up the flag while the crowd of spectators doffed hats and cheered' the cheering being led by Fire Marshal Gladwin. Janitor w. A. Schappa of city hall was marshal of the occasion, while Clerk Metzger of the fire depart ment was master of ceremonies Chief Fancher was not given an official part in the programme, but he assisted with suggestions. After the flag had been unfurled came the principal number on the programme, a speech by Night Op- orator August Hand of fire headquar- ters, in whose honor the park has been named Hand Park Standing on the steps leading to headquarters MT, Hand spoke periodically and expressed the hope that the impressive occasion would fan the sparks of patriotism which he trusted lurked in the bosoms of Marshal Gladwin, Clerk Metzger and the rest of his associate at head quarters. The remarks were greeted with applause and the oratorical abil- ity of MT. Hand surprised his friends. The crowd was orderly and MT. Schap- pa was not compelled to resort to vio- fence to preserve the peace.

WHY THE WATER WAS so GOOD.

Tn small country communities" re- marked a Mississippian at Gastons yes terday, 'the water at some particular well or spring is the boast of the whole community, and becomes famed for miles around
 ''There was wei! of this kind at q cross roads near my home, and gentle man who lived some ten miles away knew the merits of this water, and nev- CT passed that way without stopping for a drink.
 "On one occasion after he had quench- ed his thirst on a hot summer day he said to the owner of the well:
 That waster has always tasted bet ter to me than any l ever drank. but this time 1t seems to surpass itself.
 The gentleman then went his way, while the old resident the same after noon passed from the we'll a whiskey barrel he had let down in the water to soak. "-Memphis Scimitar.
