And the song Of the thrush when

And In and out, when the caves drop

The swallows are twittering cease.

In the midnight black or the midday

The robin pipes when the sun is Eere,
And the cricket chirrups the whole

The buds may blow and the fruit may
grow.
And tho autumn leaves drop crisp

But whether the sun or the rain or

Lots Like II Being Done Right Here

Salem people are surprised at the
work being done by The Little

subject brings the matter feQuently
before the people. At first there were
many doubters; and why not? So
many claims Of a similar nature have
been made with little or no backing
excepting the word OF some stranger
residing in a far-away place; this ev-
idence was accepted for lack Of bet
ter. Not necessary TO accept 1t any
longer. All sufferers from any kidney
i'll can find plenty OF local endorse
ment for a remedy that will cure
them. Surely the wonderful work Of
Doan's Kidney Pills right here at
home is proof sufficient to satisfy
any skeptic. Read the expression OF
one citizen on the subject:
