FROM A BELFAST CITIZEN
YOUR back lame and painful?

Is your back lame and palnIui!
Does it ache especially after exertion?
Is there a soreness in the kidney region?
These symptoms indicate weak kidneys.
There is danger in delay.
Weak kidneys fast get weaker.

They strengthen weak kidneys.

from the statement gave for publication in
1904 in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills. This
remedy proved to be an excellent one in my
case and have advised many other people to
try it. The worst symptom of my trouble was
pain in my kidneys. The kidney secretions
were also unnatural. Doan's Kidney Pills re
lieved me after other remedies had failed.

| the ladies told in a song or rhyme story
how the dollars were earned Many wore
unique costumes and the social was greatly
enjoyed. Among the ways in which money
was earned are the following: One young wo-
man found that she could earn penny by sing
ing and get two to stop, and in this way earned
her dollar. A housewife took care of her hus-
bands stable and horse, while he event a. court
ing" This is not as bad as it would seem, how
ever, for the man was only attending the Su-
preme Judicial Court as a juror. Another became
dairy maid and sold butter and milk. One went
into her husbands blacksmith shop and swung
hammer. Another made lace; one put up
teams, two sold peanuts on the street, one
drove public carriage, charging ten cents a
trip, several did fancy or plain cooking, some
made candy, others did mending and sewing
to get the Almighty Dollar. Three young
women, dressed in fearful and wonderful cos
tunes, startled the town by appearing one day
with push-cart, organette and monkey, and
going from house to house collected nearly SIS,
in many cases their identity not being dscov-
cred until after the coin had changed hands.
At one place they were taken for gipsies and
ordered off the grounds, while one woman see
ing them first, ran out and took in her washing
and locked her doors, pulling down the cur
tains. Their make.ups were unusually fine and
they fooled many of their friends. The entire
amount of money collected by the two orders
on the dollar pledge was s6526, making the
total fund at present $19326 A drama will be
given to complete the amount needed to buy
the new carpet. In addition to the experiences
told at the social, short program was given,
including readings by Mrs. John Frame and
Miss Blanche Sweetser, violin solos by Miss
Mowry and William Grinnell. soprano solos by
Miss Roulestone. The latter rendered THE
Rosary" and Sing Me to Sleep" 1t was all
great success.

The Shoe Situation.

Supplementary orders for seasonable lines
of footwear are in fair volume, but orders re-
ceived for the fall and winter run are disap-
pointing, in dicating continued caution. The

Pay for Samese II Il Does Not
Mako Thin People Eat.

Pale, thin people are simply suffer-
ing from want of nourishment. They
may eat enough, but their food is not
properly digested and does them no
good.
Samose, the remarkable flesh form
ing food should be used by all who
are pale, weak and thin. II ming1es
with the food and aids assimifa ton,
so that when taken for d short time
Nature will soon assert her normal
powers. and the food that is eaten
will give strength and good flesh.
The woman who longs for rosy
cheeks and the plumpness of beauty
should use Samose. The man who
wants to be strong and well and gain
health and good flesh, will find his de-
sires accomplished by Samose.
Such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use of Sanlose that Drug
gists Ltley s. Jones are willing TO pay
for the treatment il it does not give
the desired results. They make this
offer generally and wants all who are
thin, weak and out of health to get a
box OF Samose from them on those
