Good news travels fast" and the
thousands of bad back sufferers in Brat
tleboro are glad to learn that prompt
relief is within their reach. Many a
lame, weak and aching back is bad no
more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Our
citizens are telling the good news of their
experience with the Old Quaker Remedy.
Here is an example worth reading:
Charles Affair. now retired, living in
Vernon, Lower End of this state says:
When I went to Geo. E. Greene's drug
store and asked him if he knew OF any
thing to cure backache he handed me out
box Of Doan's Kidney Pills. positive
ly asserted I was nearly dead with pain
through my kidneys and loins. 1 was
subject to attacks for years, some of them
so bad that l was if not confined to bed
at least to the house for days at a time
Latterly the aching was almost continual
and there was added to it trouble with
the kidney secretions, undoubted proof
that my kidneys were in very disturbed
condition. despite the fact that 1 doctor
ed and used more than one medicine
Now 1 cannot positively say that Doan's
Kidney Pills have radically cured me, but
OF this l am certain, now know what to
use to check them"

independents Turned the Tables on the
Famous lnterscholastic Five

One of the most satisfactory basket
ball victories of the season for the Brat
tleboro Independents was won Friday
night, when the home team evened mat
tiers with the lIoyoke Interscholastics
by a score of 1928. Hoyoke defeated
Brattleboro 22-16 the first Of the season.
although they were outplayed in the Sec
ond half but AT the last game Brattle-
boro presented q much more efficient
team and gave the visitors something
they were not looking for In the first
half there was little to commend except
the all-round good work of the Brattle-
boro team, the visitors playing sluggishly
and without team work. When time was
called for intermisson the Independents
led 27"7.
Holyoke made gains in the second
period. largely through the superior work
of McCorkindale. His long distance
shooting was n feature of this period
and besides he made several brilliant
plays. Ellis led in the number Of baskets,
caging the ball nine times while the
only score his opponent made was one
point on foul. Ellis has come to be a
top-notcher in basket shooting The
crowd made something of a disturbance
in the second half. when they mistook
an accident for rough playing on the part
of March.

But down on tho south side Of Chicago. Just

5HE YAK
Plumbing and DRAINAGE Important
In the modern house Of good type, con-
struction, and price, a buyer needs to look
more into the plumbing and drainage than
into any other one feature of the structure
This course, presuming that n good many
other features are enough on hesurface to
attract the eye without real study. Within
I'VE years there have beenlmprovcmentsa and
advantages In new forms and applications
of plumbing sufficient to make the house
seven years old more or less out Of date.
TO know that the buyer Is getting these best
plumbing devices and material Is essential
so much so that 1t Is worth his while In
most cases 10 pay an expert TO examine the
whole construction of the BUILDING
There Is French observation on building
n home ia, the effect that In the first year
after completion it should be let to ones
enemy; in tho second year TO ones friend

some assurance for the third year tenpncy
Roof an Essential Fea ture.
& But in fact the house that Is we'll built of
good material should keep in good condition
for that first year. after which 1t Is n sea

plaster should be allowed to rest and season
before the decorators are brought IN
The roof OF II house Is an essential feature.
The roof materials have n good deal to do
with It's lasting quality, but scarcely less
than the materials the shape and details OF
the roof and cprnice projections are of mo-
ment, Frequently roof of the best ma
terials may suffer decay and deterioration for
tho reason of the inches and corners that
catch ana hold snow and water. A good

Tho late summer and early fall seasons
are best for the second hand trade OF the
factory. so far us purchasing machines Is
concerned The rush OF new work Is over.
and the preparation for work on second hand
machines through the winter IS at hand.
Whole cities are subjected to dragnet
process In this search for old machines. An
advertisement is inserted In the local pa pers
a day or two In advance OF tho company 8
man In that city. announcing that on corr
tain day old bicycles will be bought for cash
at such and such an express office. From
the express companys house the purchases
arc shipped directly to the factory, and then,
through mall order methods, are distributed
directly to consumers all over he country.
