For two weeks Rev MT Hughes has been assisting the pastor, Rev A. l.. Hubbard, in this aggres- sive work night after night. The people came from far and near to near the preaching and singing.

A fine offering was given to the evan gelist as a testimonial of the deep re- gard of the people. Sunday Prof Burton sang some very fine selections and one of the results of these serv- ices was the reception into the church on probation of fine class of young people.

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
 BODIES.
Kidney Diseases Gauge Cause Half the Common Aches and Ills of
 Newtown People.

As one weak link weakens a chain, so weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final breaking down.
 0yerwork, strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys, and when their activity is lessened the whole body suffers from the excess of uric poison circulated in the blood.
 Aches and pains and languor and urinary ills come, and there is an eyer-increasing tendency towards diabetes and fatal Bright's disease. There is no real help for the sufferer except kidney help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on the kidneys and cure every kidney i'll.
 William Phelps, living at 220 Railroad St., New Milford, Conn.,, says: q was induced to try Doan's kidney Pills by seeing the testimoni' als of so many reliable people in the newspapers. My back had always been weak and a hard days work would lay me up. The use of one box of Doan's Kidney Pills strength ened my kidneys and l have kept this remedy on hand ever since. When ever I feel the least symptoms of kidney trouble coming on, l take a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills and they never fail to bring me the de- sired relief. For further local proof call at w. N. Noble's pharmacy.
