Then after two were out errors and two hits with a base on balls netted Lee three more runs.

East Canaan played we'll behind Shibie and deserved to score, and until the last inaing were n the game every minute and kept the Lee fans upon the anxious seat.

 Read what Canaan citizen says:
 Mrs. k. Hawver, Barlow St., Canaan, Conn.,, says: ''I know that Doan's s Kidney Pills live up to the claims made for them and therefore don't hesitate to recommend them. For some time my kidneys were weak and suffered from backache. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Thurlough's Drug Store, (now Farnum & Go. s Drug Store) gave me great relief"
 Mus. Hawver is only one of many Ga naan people who have gratefully en- dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your back aches-if your kidneys bother you don't simply ask for a kidney remedy ask distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Hawver had-the remedy backed by home testimony. soc all stores.
