TO AILING WOMEN.
A Little Sound Advice Will Help Many
Sufferer in Snow Hill.

No woman can be healthy and well
If the kidneys are sick. Poisons that
pass off in the urine when the kidneys
are well are retained in the body when
the kidneys are sick. Kidneys and
bladder get inhamed and swollen,
crowding the delicate female organs
nearby and sometimes displacing them.
This is the true cause Of many bearing
down pains, lameness. backache, side
ache. etc. Uric poisoning also causes
headaches, dizzy spells, languor, ner-
vousness and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kidney
Pills. the remedy that cures sick kid
neys. You will get better as the kid
neys get better, and health will return
when the kidneys are well. Let fell
low-sufferer tell you about Deans kid
ney Pills.
Mrs. Carroll Hastings, Back St.,
Princess Anne. Md, says: "For nearly
seven years | was afflicted with kidney
disease and during that time | suffered
severely. ! was so miserable and weak
could hardly drag myself around and
also suffered from headaches and pains
through my loins. Finally the kidney
secretlons became unnatural and caused
me much annoyance. My case steadily
grew worse until learned of Doan s
Kidney Pills and began using them.
The first box so completely freed me
from backache that it has never return
ed and the other affections have been
greatly relieved. can recommend
Doan's Kidney Fills as a reliable remedy
for the kidneys"

iigion viii Lack His Support to
Make Il More influential.

President Taft on Sunday preached
another sermon. The scene changed
from the Mormon tabernacle at Salt
Lake City. Utah, a week ago. to the
cornerstone laying OF the First Univer-
salist church in East Portland. Ore.
The president handled the silver
trowel and worked hard to see that
the stone was properly adjusted. His
apparent earnestness In setting the
stone called out great applause from
the open air audience.
The president referred to his vari-
GUS church experiences. and In con-
Guiding said:

humble II may be. that breaches the
doctrine OF true religion and true NOR
ality will lack my earnest support to
make 1t more influential whenever OPP

The presidents train later left for

tons the propriety of my being here
