23d, after an illness OF only two days, Ber-
nice, only child of Mrs. Della Hill. Bernice
and her mother came from Bangor to live
in Frankfort Just one year ago, and during
that short time the deceased had made many
friends who loved her for her cheerful dis
position and purity of character. Always
frail girl she was obliged to give up many
things which the young enjoy, but always
with happy way and never complaining.
1t is sad blow to the widowed mother, and
she has the sympathy of many friends in
her hours of sorrow. The funeral was held
the Wednesday following, Rev. Mr.. Wilson
officiating. The floral tributes were many
! and beautiful, including a number from
Bangor. Among those from out of town
who attended the funeral were Mr.. and

The Question Answered.

EstiI Springs, Tenn, Aug. 24th.-
Many questions are being asked of
Mr.. G. d. Holt of this place in regard
to his wonderful recovery. For over
two years he has been down with his
back. He was so very bad that he
could not even lace his shoes, and
from this condition he suddenly ap-
peared well and strong as ever.
1t is no wonder therefore that his
friends are asking him How did you
do it?''
He tells them all: "Dodd's Kidney
Pills did it," and adds This remedy
is a genuine good medicine and one
that 1 can heartily recommend to
everybody.
Everyone around here knows how
very bad I was. I was so weak in
my back that 1 couldn't do anything
that needed STOPPING or bending over.
and three boxes of Dodd's Kidney
Pills made me as you see, as well rs
ever 1 was"
They certainly had a wonderful
effect on my case"

GOT TO
GOT TO
Have Sharp Brains Nowadays or Drop
Back.

The man Of to-day no matter what
his calling, needs a sharp brain and
to get this he needs food that not only
gives muscle and strength but brain
and nerve power as well.
A carpenter and builder of Mar
quette, Mich, who is energetic and
wants to advance IN his business,
read an article about food in a re-
ligious paper and in speaking OF his
experience he said: up to three
year ago had not been able to study
or use my thinking powers to any ex-
tent. There was something lacking
and I know now that it was due to
the fact that my food was not rebuild
ing my brain.
About this time l began the use
of the condensed food Grape-Nuts and
the result has been 1 can think and
plan with some success. 1t has not
only rebuilt my brain until it is
stronger and surer and more &C
tive, but my muscles are also harder
and more firm where they used to
be loose and soft and my stomach
is now in perfect condition. I can
endure more than twice the amount
OF fatigue and my nights rest always
completely restores me- In other
words I am enjoying life, and at
tribute it to the fact that I have found
a perfect food" Name given by Pos
