Newberry, S. CIV. H. Harris, chief
of police of Newberry, says: II suf-
fered for a number of years with kid.
ney complaint. There was a dull
aching across the small of my back
that was worse at night and made me
feel miserable all the time. The kid
ney secretions were dark and full OF
sediment, and lack of control COM
PEELED me to rise a number of times
during the night. Between this annoy
ance and the backache it was impossi-
BILE for me to get much sleep and my
health was being undermined. ! tried
a number of remedies, but nothing
helped me until l got Doan's Kidney
Pills. The use of this remedy accord
ing to directions promptly brought
about a change for the better After
using two boxes the backache all left
me, the kidney secretions cleared vi
and the action of the kidneys became
normal"

TO CHECK FAMILY ROWS.
Novel Plan of a Chicago Minister
Would Have Church Appoint Peace

Novel Plan of a Chicago Minister
Would Have Church Appoint Peace
makers.
1--WE have homes for children. or
phan's anchorages, old peoples homes,
humane societies, and, in fact, or
CARNATIONS for the care of nearly all
classes of society in Chicago, but we
have no association whose duty it is
to conserve the family the most
sacred of all institutions" said Rev.
David d. De Long in a recent address
before the Congregational ministers
of the city.
II think every church should estab-
lish a home -mending society, whose
duty will be to act as peacemaker
in all disputes in families in the vic
Unity of the church. If father and
mother disagree and are in imminent
danger of separating, let member of
the homemending society call at the
home of the family and arbitrate the
dispute so as to save the family and
preserve the home. If a parent can
not get along with a child and the
dispute threatens the security of the
home, let the society step in and offer
its services in bringing about peace.
81 am going to try the plan in my
church, and | think every other con
gregation in Chicago would do well
to follow my example. | believe the
plan will result in much good every
year by preventing the disruption of
hundreds of homes"

THE CIPHER WAS TOO MUCH
Telegraph Operator Thought the Mes
sage Was Too Much Twisted
to Save.

While Secretary Hay was in the country
one summer, an important piece OF official
business was pending, and he arranged with
Washington that any news that might ar
to him in cipher.
Day after day he waited, says the New
York Tribune, but no telegram came. One
morning, happening to go to the lonely
little telegraph Office, he said to the op-
orator.
Il suppose you have received no dis.
patch for me-"
why, yes, sir" the operator replied.
there was dispatch for you the other
day, but it was all twisted and confused
! couldn't make head or tell of it, so /
didn't think it was any use to send 1t up to
you"
