Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Trou-
 bles. A Stafford Springs Citizen
 Shows How to Cure Them.
 Many people never suspect their kidneys If suffering from 8 lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only muscular weakness. When urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kid ney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Blight's disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Stafford Springs people testify to permanent cures. ....
 Napoleon Billodeau, Main street, Stafford Springs, Conn.,, says: "I suffered from dull headaches for a long time, especially at night. When I arose in the morning I was tired and languid. Finally reading about Doan's Kidney Pills procured a box from Eaton's drug store, and found almcsb immediate relief through their use can recommend this remedy without the least doubt of it's effic- ienoy.

A chromatic Love Affair.

"Maroonedr' muttered the villain, turning white and striking his fore head. ... ...
 Violet, pearl of women, had refused him again.
 He lapsed into brown study, won- dering if he were too green to win any woman's love. Perhaps she ob- jected to his prelnaturely gray hair, or could it be that the cardinal virtues of his rival outweighed his old gold?
 The hero entering, black as thun- der cloud, readily solved the mystery.
 '"There's yellow streak in youp' he cried. 'In the hope of winning my betrothed, Violet, you have tilted Alice, and it has made Alice blueV'
 The villain rose, madder than a hor- net, purpling with rage beneath his tan. But before he could speak the hero had pfnked him with his sword.
 Violet screamed. Terror caught'er
 But her lover soothed her.
 "Red of him at last" he murmured, folding her in his arms and kissing her cherry lips as the crimson sun sank in the west. partially obscured by the London smoke.
