Rubbing the back won't cure backache
A IMMINENT may relieve, but can't cure.
Backache comes from the inside-from
the kidneys
Doan's Kidney Pills get inside
They cure sick kidneys.
Here n Augusta proof that this is so:
/ w. A. Hanks, Carpenter. living at the
corner of Pearle and Murray Streets,
Augusta, Me. says: II suffered from
pains in my back and across my kidney
region for a long time. The trouble was
not constant but came on by spells ana
each attack seemed to be more severe
than the previous one. At times the pains
were SO acute that I had the greatest
difficulty In STOPPING or regaining an erect
position. If 1 overeXerted myself. sharp
twinges would pass through my loins.
About two years ago when having a
severe attack l was advised by friend to
give DOan's Kidney Pills a trial and did
so. They acted exactly as represented
and two boxes cured the attack. I have
had one slight recurrence of the trouble
but Doan's Kidney Pills brought me eff
fectlve relief. I gladly endorse Doan's
Kidney Pills as superior remedy, and
advise anyone suffering from kidney
complaint to give them a trial"

A Communication From Texas.

| Editor Kennebec Journal:
A few days ago / happened to pick up
a copy of the Kennebec Journal which
had been used in packing my goods for
shipment from Ltchfeld, Me. to this
town. You may rest assured that I was
glad to see it. even though it was three
months old Anything from Maine looks
good to me. even the seed potatoes that
we are using here in great abundance.
1t has been some time since 1 left
Maine. While there 1 lived in Litch-
field and in Carthage. Since coming to
have Travelled a great deal since leaving
school seven years ago and L consider
this the finest part of the country ]
have struck yet. The climate is even
here the year round except for two or
three cool spells in the months of Jan
uary and February. Never heard of
| man having sunstroke or being over
heated. We have an average rainfall of
AZ inches a year and during the summer
have very heavy dews every night which
| is a great help to vegetation in general.
Here are a few facts which may inter
est you. They raise two crops of Irish
potatoes 4 year averaging from 100 to $50
bushels per acre and selling for, from 81
cents to $3.50 per bush l according to the
| time they are dug. Corn yields from 80
| to 70 bushels per acre and brings from 50
cents to rs cents per bushel. Alfalfa nay
to tons per acre and WHOLESALERS at
I$140O to $17.OO per ton. Ribbon cane 20 to
40 tons per acre selling at $500 to $3.50 a
ton F. O. E. cars. Oranges, Figs, straw
berries, nuts and garden truck are being
raised very profitably and plentifully.
Rice is our chief crop there being
about $1,000 acres planted this year in
| this county. Last year they raised 51,000
acres averaging Is sacks to the acre and
selling at from three to five dollars per
| sack 1t costs from $15.O0 to 5000 an acre
to put in a crop and deliver it to the
mill.
With the exception of rice land our soil
need never be idle, it can be kept in cul-
| tivation the year round. Rice land is
usually allowed to rest every two or
three years.
| The town of Bay City where now live
| is situated about twenty miles from the
Gulf of Mexico. 1t Las three railroads
and two rice mills. We have two good
| schools. one for white children and one
for the negroes; also eight churches. The
population is 5000. an increase of 1900 in
one year
| All these things are fine but I often
| feel homesick for good old Maine. I am
engaged in the lumber business here.
There are two yards here and together
we have done $4,000 worth of business
since the first of January.
| l have taken the liberty of writing 10
yoC thinking you and your readers might
be interested in hearing from the Lone
Star State through one of your own
Maine boys. My kin for years back
| have been born and raised in the good
ole Pine Tree State and in ksnnebec
county.
Very truly,
