Kidney Diseases Cause Hall the,
Common Aches and Ills of
Ellsworth PeopIe.

As one weak link weakens chain, 60
weak kidneys weaken the whole body and
hasten the final breaking down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and when their
activity is lessened the whole body suffers
from the excess Of uric poison circulated
in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and uri-
nary Ills come, and there is an ever
increasing tendency towards diabetes and
fatal Bright's disease. There is no real
help for the sufferer except kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on the
kidneys and cure every kidney ill. Els
worth cures are the proof.
Nelson r. Jellison, veteran, living on
Water St., Ellsworth, Me-, says: "when-
ever hear anybody complain of kidney
trouble or backache always advise them
to get Doan's Kidney Pills at E. G.
Moore's drug store and use this remedy as
directed. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me
of a very stubborn case OF kidney com
plant after all other remedies had failed.
Three months ago was almost helpless.
There was constant pain which was very
annoying. and in addition to that there
was retention of the kidney secretions
which caused me severe suffering. heard
OF Doan's Kidney Pills, got box, and can
say that they worked wonders in my case
1t required the use OF only three boxes to
cure the bacsachc and correct all the other

to recommend such a valuable prepare

joyed all your letters. and how faithful you
have been. 1t makes rue feel very small, tell
you, when think how little have done. /
would like pin, but really i don't feel
worthy of wearing one.
Dear E., think of you often; with the care
of the dear invalid ones, your time must be
limited for other work, and yet a nice letter
finds its way to the NJ. b. column quite often.
Aunt Maria, the mention of your cats occupy
ing the rocking chairs aroused my sym
pathies. There are three in my family. In
the old-fas hioned kitchen are three rocking
chairs, and there are three cats-of course,
you know the rest. Win close by adding
these lines for Christmas wishes to you all:
''This Christmas may you be possessed
OF all good thugs, the very best;
May sorrow never come your way,
May you be happy. bright and gay
When trivial trials seem to start,
Let not you- faith in God depart;
But on His goodness still depend
And may good fortune you attend"

HOW THE little" OWNER
BUCKED SENATOR ELK|NS.

Virginia, rated at about $40,000,000
and chairman of the interstate
commerce committee of the senate.
Elkins operated a coal company I'M
der the name of his son. He owned
spur line leading into this coal
region-the Morgantown & King
wood railway-which furnished the
only outlet for this coal to the Bal
timore G. Ohio system.
Mr.. Fulmer found that 1t was
useless to mine coal, as he could
get no cars to take it to market
The b. & O. officials furnished plen-
ty of cars, but they all went to the
Elkins mines. There were prac-
tically none for Fulmer. When Full
mer complained, he was told to
sell. He tried litigation. That cost
money and did not in prove the
service on the NJ. & X. railroad
He felt he was being squeezed.
And all this time Elkins was de-
liberating in his committee and in
the senate chamber on proper
measures for protecting the dear
people against railway combina-
lions.
Then came the little conference
with the federal judge in the pri-
vate office of the senate committee
on interstate commerce. Then the
agreement papers were drawn,
says Fulmer, by former Senator
Chas. Jas. Faulkner of West Vir-
GINA. This is the man Governor
Cummins of Iowa declared was the
head of the railway lobby fighting
Roosevelts rate legislation; the
gentleman who, he said, sat at
Senator Elkins' elbow" during
those special hearings a year ago,
conducting the case of the railways
against the people
All of which goes to show that
Stephen B. Elkins is a fine and
dandy senator, and an ideal person
to safeguard the interests of the
people against the railways-a
lovely statesman to draft reform
rate bills.
