Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole
Body-make You III, Languid
and Depressed.

Sick kidneys weaken the body through
the continual drainage OF life-givinp
albumen from the blood into the urine
and the substitution of poisonous uric
acid that goes broadcast through the sys-
tenn, sowing the seeds OF disease. Loss OF
albumen causes weakness, languor, de-
preston. Uric poisoning causes rheu-
matte pain, nervousness, nausea, cricks in
the back, gravel and kidney stones. The
and the best remedy is Doan's Kidney
Pills. Great Ellsworth cures prove it.

others, for backache did not bother me
much, but the secretions from the kidneys
were excessive and the muscles OF the
bladder too weak to control them. At
night was obliged to get up many times
which disturbed my rest greatly. In the
daytime was no better and had to pass
the secretions every few minutes

To the Editor of The american:
On the evening of January %, sixteen
relatives and friends of Walden B. Hodg-
kins met at his home on Mentor avenue.
Pasadena, CAL, to celebrate his sixtieth
birthday, which occurred Jan. q.
Mr.. Hodgkins was so completely taken
by surprise he didn't know how to act or
what to say. 1t was some time before he
could gather himself sufficiently to take
in the situation and realize that he had
passed another milestone and was not
only visited by his daughters and sons in
law, but by old playmates and work-fel-
lows of the vicinity of Frenchman's bay.
Maine; among whom were W. H. Rideout,
native OF Sullivan, and Capt. Eben
Wooster and w. o. Smith, formerly of
South Hancock, and P. A. Sumner and
wife, formerly Of Winter Harbor, were
also present.
The evening passed with Renaissance
and song; and SO pleasantly did the hours
glide the guests almost forgot to 90 to
their several homes before the next day.
Delicious ice-cream and cake were served.
l must confess that ''the lay of the
to Mr.. Hodgkins; for, for many years, l
had been alone here, having no company
or any friend from my old home town.
But now, il stretch out my arm in any
direction, am almost sure to punch some
friend or acquaintance of my boyhood.
This game of checkers is both queer and
interesting to me. P. G. WOOSTER.

know it's very well chewed in mince meat, so
you can draw your own inference.

that her meat is far from being tough, as we
are apt to apply that word to creatures of
mature age, but is exceptionally tender and
juicy.

too late to resolve that you will send at least
one letter to the column before January has
departed. Think what good beginning that
would be! Just tell us how you are this cold

WEST FRANKLIN, Jan. "A, lSUI-
Dear Friends Of the N. B. c.:
1t may be q little late to send greetings for
the New Year, but you all know the old say
ing better late than never, SO to one and all
will say: May this be the very best one of
your lives!
Now, dear friends, as look back over the
year that is passed, although there have been
many failures in plans made, yet see many
reasons for thankfulness. Into each heart
many shadows come, but the ray of light fol-
lows, for every cloud has silver lining.
l presume you were all kindly remembered
at Christmas, and how nice to have such kind,
loving friends. and how much we appreciate
them, and what helpful ones we have for our
column every week-some new thought to
ponder over to make wiser and better in
this life and the life to cone.
Now, did not mean to preach a sermon,
but you will please pardon must tell you
that 1 have my pin, and it is a little beauty,
and sometime when We are wearing them we
may find some one of our clan by those same
little pins.
/ will send poem. and if there is none
ahead OF it, think it will be nice one to re-
member through the year. think it very APP
propriate. Now hope we all will try to help
Aunt Madge all we can SO as to make her bur-
den as light as possible. Now will say good
morning to all, and best wishes from
AUNT EMMA.
Thanks for the poem; will use it soon.
Am glad you like the pin. A letter re-
ceived from 5. j. Y, since she had hers,
says: ''The pin is all right and a very cute
and pretty creation" Sister BIS verdict
is: 1.-THE pin is little beauty, SO delicate
and dainty" With best wishes to all.

not any last week from any of the sisters,

and SO now stake my pen in hand" to per-
form it.
We have been having so many nice letters,
and it is SO much easier to read and enjoy
them than to furnish one yourself, that am
afraid we are getting a tribe selfish.
really think, though, after such an in
spring letter our dear Aunt Madge wrote us
us on Christmas, we must be very selfish if
we didn't express our appreciation of it and
the many beautiful thoughts she gave us.
Was very glad to hear from you, Narcissus;
it has been so long since we heard from you
through the column. Am glad you like Bos-
ton well enough not to get farther away, for
we may perhaps hope to see you at our re-
union another year.

Dear Aunt Mddge:
Judging by the looks of the M. E. column
this week, the other sisters as well as myself
have left you with the most of the work to do.
l was expecting to get one of the pins. but
was busy and neglected to send for it, and
now expect am too late.
1 tried making doughnuts with boiled po-
tato instead of an egg, and think they rise
better and are lighter than if an egg was
used. When am about my work put po-
tato in the oven, and let it bake while go
about my other cooking, and by the time get
ready to fry my doughnuts, the potato is done,
and is just as good as boiled one.
Perhaps a recipe for candy win be accept
able, so will send mine for peppermint.
PEPPERMINT CANDy-One cup sugar, hot
water to dissolve it; boil until it will thread
from the spoon, then add peppermint; let boil
mp a little longer, then TAX from the stove and
beat with a spoon uutil it turns white; then
turn into buttered plate Il use the bottom
of tin PAM to cool; when partly cooled,
crease with knife in squares and when cold
you will have some good candy.

only put cocoa into the sugar before putting
in the water, and put in vanilla instead of
peppermint. ARE.

busy housekeepers to get time for the
writing they would like to do, and so
appreciate the letters from the nieces all
the more. Thank you, Are, for the letter
and the fine souvenir card.
