Keep the Kidneys We'll Health Is Worth Saving, and Some Norwich People Know How to
 Save 1t.

Many Norwich people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kid neys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsi- ble for 8 vast amount of suffering and ili health. but there is no need to suf- fer nor to remain in danger when all SiBeases and aches and pains due to weak Kidneys can be quickly and per- manently cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is a Norwich citi- ken's recommendation.
 Patrick J. Fitzgerald, 36 Mechanic Street, Norwich, Conn, says: q can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as a reliable kidney remedy. When they first came to my attention I was hav- ing considerable trouble from a pain hack and through my kidneys. When I read about Doan's Kidney Pills, l felt sure they wore just the remedy I re- uuired and their use proved that I was right. Less than the contents of one box removed the Ian1eness of my back, drove the pains away and regulated My advice to any person suffering from kidney trouble is to procure DOau's Kidney Pills at N. D. Sevin & Sons Drug Store and give them fair trial"

Is New England Drying Up?

We have been in the habit of thinking of irrigation only in connec- ton with the arid west. The coming years may make it a necessity for New England. The rainfall in that part of the country is decreasing. Be- fore 1900 the annual average was 46.27 inches. That met amply the demands of the farmers and the city folks. But for the last 10 years the average ran- fall has been only 42.6 inches. ear before last was the dryest within the memory of the oldest inhabitant, and the total precipita ton this year. snow included, has been only 27 inches. The situation is so serious that the officials of at least one city have been compelled to tell the people that they must not take go many baths. They must forego cleanliness, so that they may have water for drinking and cooking.
 There has been an unfair distribu tfcn of rain this year. Europe has had too much and the United States too little. If the matter could be arranged by international agreement, Europe would gladly transfer some of its superHuous moisture to this coun- try. Unhappily. it cannot be done. We can draw on Europe for gold, but not for water, and New England will have to work out it's own salvation, probably by going in for water stor- age and rigation.-Chicago Tribune.
