HANDICAPPED.
THIS IS THE CASE WITH MANY
 VIEWPOINT PEOPLE.

Too many Newtown citizers are handicapped with @ bad back. The unceasing pain causes cOustanr mis- cry, making work a burden and stoop- ing or lifting an impossibility. The back aches at night, preventing re- freshing rest and in the morning is stiff and lame. Plasters and liniments may give relief but cannot reach the canse, To eliminate the pains and aches you must cure the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kid neys and cure them permanently. James V. King, living on Railroad Street, New Milfond, Conn.,, says :; "Prior to using Doan's Kidney Pills 1 was often subject to attacks of kid ney trouble. The scalding sensation accompanying the passage of the kid ney secretions was almost unbearahles My back pained me intensely ard is often had difficulty in arising from a chair on this account. Deans Kidney Pills were procured and ike resnlts of their use were most satisfactory.
 have recommended this remedy to my neighbOrs during the past ten years and think it the best preparation ou earth for kidney trouhle." "

GET BUSY. PICK UP THE STONES
 As the roads have dried mp 1t would be a good idea if some one would pick the stones off the roaas, It does not seem quite right that people driving through our streets should have to hang on to the side of the wagon in order to sit in the seat. The condition af our roads has been very bad all winter, which must be expected owing to weather con ditions, mt now as the weather IS set'lei and the roads have hetCme dry there is no reason why those loose stones snoulh not De picked 0f.
