The People of Barre Can Tell You Why
1t Is So.


Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause Of
disease, and that is why the cures are
always lasting. This remedy strength
ems and tones up the kidneys, helping
them to drive out of the body the liquid
poisons that cause backache, headache
and distressing kidney and urinary COM
plants. Barre people testify to pcrma-
nent cures.

RALLY DAY HELD
BY FELLOWSHIP
B. FAY MILLS TALKS OF WIN
TER'S WORK
Declares Organization Has Gained
Respect of Community and Hearty
Co-operation of Many
Workers

Yesterday was observed as rally day
at the Los Angeles Fellowship.
All the departments of the school Of
religion and ethics, the Lyceum, the
Academy and the Children's church,
were we'll attended and the main SER
vice at II o'clock in Blanchard hall
filled the auditorium to the doors. b..
Fay Mills spoke on the topic, 'The
Winters Work" He saidSin part
1.-The Fellowship is now one and one
half years old. Our first half year we
gathered a great multitude of ''all sorts
and conditions of men," many of whom
are still among our most reliable and
earnest workers. There were large
numbers, however, who mistook the
purposes and ideals of the Fellowship,
and we devoted last year definitely to
a period of sitting out those who were
not really in sympathy with our high
aims and methods, and gathering others
who have proved themselves worthy
members of our organization.
Ready for Service
1--WE have done a great deal of edu-
cational, civic and philanthropic work
and have ministered to multitudes OF
strangers of the sick and poor and
imprisoned, and in larger sense than
ever are ready for aggressive service
We have stood for civic Righteousness
for social reconstruction in the home
and the school, in economics and poll
tics in local. national and worldwide
relationship.
1--WE have gained the esteem and
respect, and many times the co-opera-
tion, of the well-wishing and we'll
working forces of the community.
In the enlargement of our work we
mean to continue to emphasize two
principles: first, that we wish to do
a few things and do them well; and
second, that everyone should do some
thing
Mr.. Mills then divided his address
into several sections, treating of the
social; administrative, financial, educa-
tional, philanthropic propaganda and
miscellaneous departments of activity.
He closed with an appeal to all the
members to make the Fellowship their
chief interest, as he said. the organiza-
tion touched life at all points. He also
gave an invitation to those who were
in sympathy with the work of the Fell
lowship to join the society and num-
ber responded.
At the close of the meeting large
cards. divided into sections specifying
the different phases of the work in
which members of the Fellowship were
voluntarily to engage, to the number
of thirty or forty divisions. were dis
tributed throughout the hall and a
large proportion of those present filled
them out, designating the particular
part they would like to take in the
winters work.
Mr.. Mills announced that on Wednes-
day evening in the large Blanchard
hall, Miss Jane Brownlee of Toledo
would deliver an address on What a
Model School Would Be Like" and
that his own subject next Sunday morn
ing would be. "What Life Means to
