Connecticut Women Are Finding Re- ~ lief At Last.

It does seem that women have more than fair share of the aches and pains that atfiict humanity; they must "keep up," must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches and kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys we'll and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only. that helps and cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know.
 Mrs Selina Jones of 200 Main St., Ansonia, Conn.,, says: "I think if it had not been for Doan's Kidney Pills I would not be alive to-day. Seven years ago l was in such a bad condition with pains and aches across my back and other weakness that l was obliged to keep to my room, and was at times confined to my bed for six weeks before IcouId get around. Seeing Doan's Kid ney Pills advertised I began taking them and inside of week the terrific backache, pains and soreness across the Joins and the headaches had vanished as we'll as the feeling of general weak ness and languor. The kidney weak ness was also corrected and the dizzy spells had disappeared. 1 strongly en- dorse the claims made for Doan's Kid ney Pills. "

B. Hawley & Co.'S wholesale grair branch is fast becoming popular. The terms Cash, no bags broken, no bags loaned. seemed rather of an abrupt way of doing business. But when casf buyers stopped to think that their good money and their punctuality of return ing bags were helping to pay for pool debts and unreturned bags they could readily see how much cheaper grain can be sold on this basis and have rap idly patronized the wholesale branch which is worked to the financial aid of the cash buyer.
