This is the Case With Many Norwich
 People.

Too many Norwich citizens arc handicapped with bad backs. The un- ceasing pain causes constant misery, making work a burden and stopping or lifting an impossibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest, and in the morning is stiff and lame Plasters and liniments may give relief but cannot reach the cause if the kidneys are weak. To eliminate the pains and aches of kidney back ache you must cure the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys-thousands testify to their merit. Can you doubt Norwich evil dence?

work done, but did not think that there was sufficient money left of the present appropriation to carry on the present work that had been planned,
 not to mention extra improvements,
 but when he learned that the town of Stonington had paved their end for about s400, Councilman Langworthy thought that now is the time to have it done. William Segar was of the same opinion. The matter was finally left to the highway committee to get estimates.
 MT. Buffum asked that the council
 instruct the committee representing the town in the Shore road improve
 ments to get deeds of the land along the highway from the Albert Lang worthy farm to Haversham, in view of the state road being extended at some fhture time, as then the town
 would be able to turn the land over to i, the state without delay. The matter met with the approval of the council.
 The matter of stopping the Norwich 4 & Westerly cars at the White Rock crossing was again brought up by a petition which had been handed the clerk and was signed by more than three hundred of the.sresidents of White Rock, praying that the council take some action that would bring about change of the present location
 of the station, which some time ago was changed. and was moved from the White Rock crossing to a point near the bridge which crosses the PaWca- tuck river. MT. Ferguson, superinten- | dent of the White Rock mill, ap- peared before the council and spoke Of the condition that exists. After
 having had the facts presented to the I council, Attorney Everett E. Kingsley
 asked that time be set by the coun- cilf before any action is taken in the 1 Dfatter. The council appointed Attor- / ney Harry B. Agard and Councilman Maurice w. Flynn as a committee to confer with R. W. Perkins, president of the road, which was agreeable to the petitioners of White Rock.
 Michael O'Brien of Canal street, who ] owns a house on Grove avenue, ad- | Joining the park, was present, and en- tered complaint concerning the over flow of water from the catchbasin | which backs up and runs down into his cellar. He said that patience had ceased to be a virtue with him, and | hes wanted to know if the town in- tended to abate the nuisance. The | matter was left with Councilman
 Langworthy of the highway commit tee, and Thomas Mckenzie, superin- | tendent of the water works, to investi- i gate the situation and to report to the
 council the best method of caring for the trouble.
 l Permission was given the Italian residents of the town to hold cele- bration at Riverside park next Satur- day afternoon and evening, with fire-

GOLD DUST makes pot and pan
 spick and span

Pots and pans collect more dirt and grease than any other cooking utensil. The one best way of cleaning them is to use Gold Dust. Gold Dust not only takes off the outer surface, but digs deep after germs and hid den particles, and makes them as spotlessly clean and sani- tary as when new.
 Ii you want your pots and pans so bright you can see your face in thcm-your pots and kettles spotless and germ-proof, use Gold Dust in cleaning. It will do the work, too, in half thetime ofthe ordinary cleanser and save most of your labor. Gold Dust does the bulk of the workalone; you merelyassist it.
