"Catch-my.Pai" Is the unique name
Of a remarkable temperance move

derful transformation IN the North
Of Ireland during the last six months.
II was originated by Rev. Robert J.
Patterson OF Armagh. who Is q

bring a pal to my house tomorrow
and induce him to sign"
II think I can catch my pal" said
one OF the men. and that was the
origin Of the Catch My Pal" move
ment now sweeping over the North
Of ireland.

HEED THE WARNING
Many Americas People Have Done So.

When the kidneys are weak they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. BY examining
the urine and treating the kidneys up
on the first sign of disorder many
days of suffering may be solved. Weak
kidneys usually eXpel a dark ill-smell-
ing urine, full of "brickdust" sedi-
ment and painful in passage. Sluggish
kidneys often cause a dull pain IN
the small of the back, headaches, dir
" spells, tired languid feelings and
frequent rheumatic twinges
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only. There is no better recon-
mended remedy.
