IN BELFAST
Every Claim is Backed by Local
Testimony.

If the reader wants stronger proof than the
following statement and experience of a resident
of Belfast what can it be?
Mrs j. S Hyde, formerly living at the lower
end of Cedar street. Belfast, Me-, says: I'VE for
merly lived on farm but we had to give it up
owing to the fact that my husband contracted
kidney trouble and was unable to attend to
work He thinks his trouble was caused by a
cold which settled in his kidneys. The trouble
was serious because he used to blOat terribly
and his limbs and feet were so badly swollen at
times that he was unable to get his shoes on. In
the summer Of 1903 he was laid up for nearly
eight weeks, and his suffering during that time
was terrible, in fact, he was perfectly helpless.
One preparation after another was used but no
permanent relief was obtained. In some way
Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to his notice
ard a box was procured at the City Drug Store
for him. They did him world of good and In
surprisingly short time the backache was reliev-
ed, and being so encouraged, he continued using
the medicine The results obtained were highly
satisfactory and he has often said to me that he
wished he had known of Doan's Kidney Pills
years ago because they would have saved him a
lot of suffering. He feels better now than he has
at any time during the past three years, and he
gives ali the credit to Doan's Kidney Pills"

other.

Holbrook, we'll known to everybody in

The sale of apples has greatly fallen off
| in this vicinity since the strengency in the
money market come on and the buyers who
were operating here have disappeared. A.
B. Payson has decided to pick the matter up
and will now pack apples for those who
wish to ship on their own account to the
Crossley concern in Liverpool.
Ell. Littlefeld of Thorndike, but who is
| very frequently in this village on business,
has been having lots of trouble lately. His
wife died recently after long and distress
| ing illness. and his son Merle died about a
week previous to his mothers death after
an operation for appendicitis. and now an
other son is in the hospital at Portland, it is
hoped recovering from the same trouble.
The annual meeting of the Brooks Tele-

A, r. Pulley, Directors; A. E. Kilgore, F.
R. York, NJ. S. Stiles, I. l. Huxf ord and r.

outlook is satisfactory.
We notice in the Bangor News of Monday
that the summer schools for teachers in diff
ferent parts of the State will be discon-
tinued and one institute will be opened
with the U. of NJ. at Orono, and that Payson
Smith, State Superintendent, will be in
charge. This is matter that interests us
in Brooks, as we have had very successful
summer school here for the past two years
and were planning for another this year.
They are especially valuable to the young
teachers, and we are sorry to be left out.
The Acme Concert Company of Belfast
will give a concert at the Union hall to-

| The Good Templar lodge had IA very
pleasant meeting last Saturday evening
The routine work was very nicely conduc-
ted by the c. T., Mr.. Everett Cilley, a
senior of the Brooks High school, who has
taken much interest in the lodge. Then at
recess W. c. Rowe brought in pail full of
luscious apples after which the refresh
ment committee. Mae Huxford, Lula Es-
ties, and Hattie Work, passed around
pop corn, candy and peanuts. Nothing
literary was attempted, but everybody
had good time socially, and all went
home happy.
Silver Crown, Pythian Temple, enjoyed a
very pleasant occasion last week at the
regular meeting, when the officers were duly
installed by Mrs. Inez Payson, D. D. G. G.,
assisted by Mrs. Francis Rolfe, G. s., and
Miss Mae McTaggart Ii. Nj. The following

finely done, the Dist. Deputy, Mrs. Inez
Payson, having all the work both as deputy
and as presiding officer perfectly commit
ted. Short addresses were made by
Brothers Dow, Holbrook and Payson and
banquet was served.
Mrs. Geo. Larrabee has been, and still is,
very seriously ill. Since the birth of her
last child she has been troubled with what
in common parlance is known as milk leg,
which the doctors have been unable to cure.
1t is now badly swollen and there are sores
at the ankle, crippling her so that she can
not get about the house to work. There is
a large family of small children and Mr..
Larrabee has a heavy burden to carry. Last
week the neighbOrs contributed and sent
them barrel of flour and other necessaries.
MIR. Larrabee and wife personally wish us
to thank their friends for this and other
acts of kindness extended to them in their
time of need.
