DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

That troublesome pain in the small of the back points straight to kidney sickness. Backache will not leave of its own accord. nor will sick kidneys cure themselves. Every day of neg lect makes the cure harder.
 Inactive kidneys cause rheumatism, neuralgia, gout. headaches, dizzy spells, nausea, indigestion, weak heart, gravel, stone in the kidneys, dropsy and too frequent passages of urine.
 When you first feel pain in the small Of the back, or first notice anything wrong with the urine, don't delay moment Give the kidneys the help they need.
 and direct action on the kidneys. They drive out the poisons that infest the blood, cleanse and stimulate the kid neys, regulate the urine. cure hack ache, dizziness and languor. and per manently heal the kidneys.
 The best proof we can offer of the great merit of Doan's Kidney Pills is testimony of residents of this city who have used the remedy.

struck on the dreaded bars that paral- Tel the shores of the cape, near the Highlands, and Worthen was notified of the fact by the keepers of the lighthouse.
 The snow was more than three feet deep on a level The only surfboat available was half mile from the scene of the disaster, and there were no regularly employed surfmen.
 Tt was an awful night to go out and hunt for volunteers says Capt. . Worthen, "but knew that if could get word to the fishermen that they would respond to my call, and that If the ship held together long enough that we could save all hands. After several hours I aroused a number of the fishermen, and with great difi. culty and peril we managed to get our big surfboat out through the breakers and alongside of the wreck. ed vessel.
 There were IA persons aboard the craft, and we had to make two trips. but we accomplished 1t without mis- hap, although our boat was thrown onto the beach each time that we landed, and had it not been for the skfll of my volunteers it would have gone hard with us.
 We got the crew ashore and made them as comfortable as possible. and the volunteers were about to leave for their homes when to our horror we learned that another craft was ashore in the breakers about a mile distant. We hastened to the wreck. but the sea had risen rapidly and 1t was SO thick of shore that we could only see the tops of her spars at times.
 We tried to get of the beach . half dozen times, but it was no use. The surfboat would be thrown far up on the beach and the lives of the men were endangered each time we tried. We did not give up trying until every man was exhausted.
 Soon after daylight we got glass Ion the vessel on the bars and found )that she had broken almost to pieces. She evidently struck early in the night. before the Francis got on the bars. and by the time that we learned of her being stranded all hands had Ibeen lost
 We kept watch of the vessel, which koved to be the Peruvian. and when
 was possible to launch a boat we \shed of through the riotous seas

SPLENDID REPORT
On Quality Of Carleton Pond Water
from Chemist h. D. Evans.

The Augusta Water District has re-
ceived from II. ID. Evans, director of
the State of Maine Laboratory of Hy-
giene. the results of his analysis of four
samples of the city water sent to him
on June 4, the samples being taken
from faucets in four different sections
of the city. In his statement to the
district Mr. Evans says that the analy-
sis shows that the four samples are,
identical in chemical composition AMI
practically so in their bacterial con-
tent The water appears to be in a
most excellent condition to use for
drinking, or for any other domestic
purpose. Neither the chemical or bac-
terial analysis show the slightest signs
of sewage pollution of any kind reach
ing the water. Like all pond waters
this one is possessed of considerable
color, and the samples just examined
have more of this than is usual in this
particular water. owing to the recent
heavy rains having brought into the
pond considerable vegetable material
from its banks. Practically the entire
amount of organic material dissolved
in the water is of vegetable origin,
and is 50 without Specification of sew
age origin, and also is without any
harmful effect uDon the health of
the users The water is clear and soft,
and free from all sewage pollution. Ii
would be hard to find Il letter pond
water Tor public supply, and it can
be most heartily recommended for ali
purposes to which Il public supply may
be designed to be put.
