WELL DESERVED.
The Praise That Comes From Thank
full Augusta People.

One kidney remedy never fails.
Augusta people rely upon it.
That remedy Is DOan's Kidney Pills.
Augusta testimony proves it always
reliable.
J.. S. Jones, 1877 Northern avenue,
Augusta, Me, says: Il never tire of
praising Doan's Kidney Pills as 1 act
ually believe they were the means of
prolonging my life. I suffered from
kidney trouble for eight years. l had
severe pains in the small of my back,
extending at times across my loins and
sides. NY back was so weak l could
hardly get about and at night was
unable to rest comfortably. AS my
work requires a great deal of STOPPING
and lifting, was in great misery and
on several occasions was forced to lay
Off. / was beginning to think there
was no help for me when I saw Doan's
Kidney Pills highly recommended for
troubles similar to mine. I concluded
to give them a trial and procured q
supply at Willis r. Partridges DRUG
store. was soon convinced that this
remedy was the one my system re-
quired. 1t is a number of years since
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and az
have had no recurrence of my ole
trouble. 1 cheerfully confirm the pub.

NeedIework Notes.

A trousseau set. as it is called. consists
of a nightrobe and a drawers combina-
ton. 1t should be made of finest French
nainsook. trimmed with hand-embroid-
cred medallons. valenciennes lace and
insertion, and finished with satin rib
bons.
If strip of canvas is placed under the
p1aits in the back of skirt it will help
keep them ip place when the placket is
in the front. When tucks turn the wrong
way haste each group of tucks fiat on the
material before basting up a waist
When making large round or oblonG
eyelets or those that are petal-shaped, all
difficulty may be obviated by working
first and cutting away the central mater
ial afterward with tiny manicuring scis-
sors. If carefully done by this method
the laundering will have only a benefi-
.cial effect upon the eyelt instead of wear
ing it out.
Painted laces, with their colors differing
in patches, made wonderfully effective
and gorgeous trimmings for the oriental
looking evening gown. Oil paints may be
mixed with gasolene, or stencil dyes may
be used to give the desired color The
entire pattern of the lace is not brought
out in color, but certain of it's motifs are
enhanced in value by this shading pro-
cess.
A dainty baby pillow is made in this
way: plain center of the material is
left quite large enough for the baby s
head and a circle of oval eyelets worked
which are run with pale blue or pink rib
bon, tied at the top in a soft bow of
loops and ends. A wreath of small flow
ers worked solid can also be embroidered
Just beyond the circle of eyelets if one
wishes a more elaborate pillow. Finish
the pillow case with a hemstitched hem
on the edge of which fine narrow Valen-
ciennes lace can be whipped.
Many women, otherwise clever with the
needle. think it difficult to refine jacket
1t is in reality simple. Rip out one-half
of the jacket lining for a pattern, cut a
complete lining by this, leaving the other
half attached to the jacket for guide
Sew the lining together leaving the un-
der-arm seams open. Now haste in one
half, fitting it smoothly along the fronts
and bottom of the jacket. then rip out
| the other half of the old lining and bastt
| in the same way. Hem the new lining al
| around the bottom, neck and fronts
Any fullness will go into the armhole.
and under-arm seams, which should b.

the old lining and attach at the top ant

Remodeling Coat Suit.

the present style with the aid of a new
pattern chosen with judgment from the
many new patterns of the current sea
son. If, for instance. the old coat has
three sections in the back and two in
front, new pattern should be selected
having only three back sections and
be ripped apart. sections cleaned,
sponged and pressed carefully, and the
new pattern laid, section of the pattern
upon section of the coat, keeping the
warp of the material always in mind,
of course. A, very slight bias may per-
haps be overlooked if absolutely neces-
sary. The changes are many times
smaller than one would imagine from
the finished appearance of both styles.

As To Small Bows.

1t is only one small boy who rings
the door bell to ask you if you want
the lawn moved. But when, having
given your consent, you look out of
the window few minutes later, you
will be pretty sure>to see regular
squad of small boys, swarming over
the little patch of grass and dividing
up the tremendous work of cutting it.
Two or three boys will be taking tI'rs
at the lawn mower; another will
manipulate a pair of rusty shears:
while still another will appear to be
busy with a rake. Not having sup
posed that your lawn was to be moved
by syndicate, you are somewhat
surprised; but it is really very simple.
They are partners. Small boys who
amount to anything always have part
ners; and, whatever of work or play
one is in on, the others share, too It
is not to be imagined that live hu-
man boy would work all by himself in
gloomy alOOfnesS, if he could help
himself Work is already to the boy
the great business of life and an un-
conscious joy. Although he does not
know it, he probably enjoys his little
business enterprises, and the dicker-
ing consequent upon them far more
than he does so-called play: and of
course wants to enjoy them in the So
ciety of his friends.
For the small boy is essentially gre
garious. He moves in squads of three
or four, to say nothing of the dog.
Alone and without the gang. he is I'M
easy and often self conscious; but,
fortified by the fellows, he is ready to
look the world in the face and meet all
emergencies.-Ohio State Journal

MORMONS AND THE
GERMAN POLICE
Church Surprised at Present
Attitude in Driving Out
Missionaries.

Salt Lake City. Utah, July 23.-Some
surprise was OccasiOned among officials
OF the Mormon church by the German
expulsion of Mormon missionaries from
Germany. Three or four years ago the
church agreed to place its propaganda
in III ehands of its German converts and
make no further effort to introduce
American missionaries until the gov
eminent was persuaded TO change its
attitude.
No intimatiOn OF d change in this pol
icy has been given. The presence of
foreign leaders at the Berlin meeting
may be explained by a letter from
president Thomas r. Mckay, of the
Swiss and German mission, written in
ZcSrich. May 81. resident Mckay said
that while passing through Berlin he
stated to the police authorities that
general conferences of the Mormon
missionaries were held in different
parts of Europe and that he desired TO
hold such a charge in Berlin early in
