WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and Ann
bition Slipping Away.

Danville women know how the aches
and pains that come when the kidneys
fail make life burden. Backache,
hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells, dis
tressing urinary troubles, all tell of
sick kidneys and warn you of the
stealthy approach of diabetes, dropsy
and Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney
Pills permanently cure all these dis
orders Here's proof of it in Dan
Vile woman words:
Mrs. Edward Diehl, 400 Pine ST., ,
Danville, Pa, says: l used DOan's
Kidney Pills with such excellent re-
suit, that l can recommend them as
an exceedingly valuable remedy. l
suffered from severe pains through tn ,
small of my back and there Were 9th
er evidences of disordered kidneys. l
procured Doan's Kidney Pills at
Hunt drug store and they effective
ly removed every symptom of my COM
plaint. | give Doan's Kidney Pills my
hearty endorsement as [ really feel
that they should have a permanent
place in every household.
For sale by all dealers. Price 80
cents. Foster Milbun Co., Buffalo,
New York, sole agents for the United
States.
Remember the name-Doan's sand

WHO ENTERED COMPLAINT

That threatened investigation of the
woeful condition of the Susquehanna,
Bloomsbury and Berwick railroad has
petered out.
From Harrisburg comes the report
that the railroad commission is trying
in vain TO find the man who complain
ed that the Susquehanna, Rloomsburg
and Berwick railroad was so bad that
the road bed was the only thing to
commend. Letters to him to amplify
his statement or TO state specific inst
ances have been returned by the post
master at the town whence the letter
come. The postmaster states that he
knows no such party.

ALARM OF FIRE

The residents of the Eastern End
We're startled by an alarm OF fire about
10 o'clock ON Monday night. The
blaze was found to be located among
Che ruins of the dwelling on East
Market street extension which burned
down Sunday night. Some fire re-
manned among the debris and after
twenty-four hours broke out anew.
The fire bell at the Washington hose
house was rung and in response the
members of that company ran to the
fire. To extinguish the flames was
the work of but few moments.

WHITE CHRISTMAS

The six-inch snow came as sur
prise on Christmas. 1t impaired an
old-fashioned and seasonable aspect
and added not little to the pleasure
of the day.
The trolley cars, although slightly
delayed, were able to handle traffic
without inconveniencing the public
very much.
1t was not until Sunday that real
deprivation was experienced. This
section of the State seemed entirely
isolated by the snow and while wait
ing for the mail and newspapers that
came not people could only conjecture
as to the depth of snow and the ex-
treme conditions which seemed to be
holding up traffic.
