FIRM FOUNDATION
Nothing Can Undermine it in
 Canaan.

People are sometimes slow to recog- nize true merit and they cannot be blamed, for so many have been hum- bugged in the past. The experience of hundreds of Canaan residents, ex- pressed publicly through newspapers and other sources, places Doan's Kidney Pills on firm foundation here.
 W. Wyckoff, Railroad St., Canaan, Conn.,, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills greatly benefited me and don't hesi- tate to recommend them. My kidneys were disordered and I suffered from pains in the small of my back. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, got supply at Thurlough's Drug Store (now Farnum 6 Go. s Drug Store). It wasn't long after using them that I was relieved.
 The above statement must carry con viction to the mind of every reader. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy ask distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that MT. Wyckoff had the remedy backed by home testimony. soc all stores. Foster -Milburn Go. !, Props, Buffalo, N. T..

A Devils Trait

The devil was never known to
forgive, it is said. If this be true,
then those who come nearest to
his low standard are the men
and women who never forgive
a person who may have wronged
them; for it is a well-known fact
to lawyers and judges that the
most depraved classes are the
most bitter in the prosecution
of those who have wronged
them. They cannot, it appears,
be induced to believe it is best
to forgive. Some preachers show
in the pulpit that they, too, pos
sess a vindictive and cruel spir-
it; but they are the exceptions
and not the rule. They are eth
er ignorant of the teachings of
Christ or are traitors to His
cause. They know nothing of
