during the past week. over the prospect of
having new corn canning factory located in
this village. Two meetings We're held last
week in Norton hall, and so much interest has
been manifested that at the present time it
seems that the project will really become a
reality. Money is being raised and stock
company formed to build the buildings and
they will be leased for term of years to the
Monmouth Canning Co. of Portland who
will operate the plant. Ella Greeley and
Ruth Knowlton will attend the State Normal
school at Gorham for the spring term. Ed

Signals Of Distress.
Belfast People Should Know How to Read
and Heed Them.

Sick kidneys give many signals of distress.
The secretions are dark, contain a sediment,
Passages are frequent. scanty, painful.
Backache is constant day and night.
Headache is constant day and night.
Headaches and dizzy spells are frequent.
The weakened kidneys need quick help
Don't delay! Use special kidney remedy.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys, back
ache and urinary disorders.
Belfast evidence proves this statement.
W. j. Heal, retired farmer, 60 Miller street,
Belfast, Me-; says: 81 have had no reason to
change my opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills
which l expressed through the local newspaper
in 1904 On the contrary l can recommend
them more strongly than ever, for the benefit
l received through their use has been of a last
ing nature. Some eighteen or twenty years
ago, when living in the town of Belmont, Me-,
l began to have trouble with my kidneys. l
was almost laid up with a lame and aching back
and at times could hardly stoop or straighten
MY kidneys were very weak and the secretions
from these organs caused me great annoyance
and inconvenience by their irregular action.
Doan's Kidney Pills soon relieved me and since
moving to Belfast l have used them with the
same good results on several occasions. l al
ways procure Doan's Kidney Pills at Wilson's
drug store and recommend them at every op-
portunity.''

BLOOD

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as our
blood is rich or poor. There is
nothing else to live on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high we are being re-
freshed-bone, muscle and
brain, in body and mind-with
continual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits, no
cheer, no spring, when rest is
not rest and sleep is not sleep,
we are starved; our blood is
poor; there is little nuriment
in it.
Back of the blood is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
