DEEDS, NOT WORDS.
Augusta People Have Absolute Proof
of Deeds at Home.

IT'S not words. but deeds that prove
true merit.
The deeds Of Doan's Kidney Pills,
For Augusta kidney sufferers,
Have made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of AL
rusta people who have been cured to
stay cured.
J. S. Jones living at 1877 Northern
Ave, Augusta, Me, says: 'Doan's
Kidney Pills have been the means of
prolonging my life and lifting me from
a physical wreck to good sound health.
I suffered from kidney complaint in
a severe form for eight years. My
back was weak and I could only arise
from a reclining position by gradually
working myself up sideways. At night
/ rolled and tossed about unable to
sleep and often felt SO bad in the
morning that l could not go to work.
After having used many remedies
without benefit I finally got Doan's
Kidney Pills at Willis r. Partridge's
drug store. In two days I was con-
WINGED this was what / needed, and
continued taking them until cured.
During the years that have passed I
have been free from kidney disorders.

PREVENTS PNEUMONIA.
Old-Fashioned Home Remedy that is
of Great Value.

In comparing statistics Of the fatal
tiles from pneumonia in different
states. it is interesting to notice how
favorably Maine compares with other
states. This is undoubtedly due to the
general use of a simple home made
remedy composed of four tablespoons
full of molasses or honey and one each
of olive OIL and Anodyne. Mix well
together and take in tcaspoonful doses.
The Anoivre alone is also applied ex-
ternally on the throat and chest. II

TREES FOR ROADSlDES.

Preservative Effect of Shade on
French Highways.
In answer to inquiries from the Unit
ed States, Consul General Robert L.
Skinner of Marsclles furnishes the
following information relative to the
effect of wayside trees on French
roads:
1t is proposed to plant trees along
the roadsides of New York state in
order to keep the moisture in the road
and prevent travelling, and the question
has been raised whether or not the
roots of such trees may spread out I'M
derneath the road surface and eventu-
ally create great damage in Il severe
climate where there are extremes of
heat and cold. While French roads
are not always bordered with shade
trees, they are so very frequently, and
my information is that the trees are
planted not only for furnishing shade,
but in order to protect the roads them
selves against the effects of excessive
heat and drought. 1t is believed that
the long, dry summer season is much
more inimical to roads than severe
cold. The chief officer in charge of the
public roads in MarseileS is of the
