A NORWICH INQUIRY
Answered By the Statement Of Nor.
 wich Resident.

When first the long series of re- ports of Norwich people who have been relieved by Doan's Kidney Pills were published in the local press, great enthusiasm and interest were aroused. But Norwich is now in- quiring How are these people keep ing today? How has the beneft they received withstood the test of timer" For that, after all. is the essential test of a cure. On this point doubt can no longer exist, for after many years those who have been cured. emphati- cally declare their cures to be lasting.
 D. J. Brown, Summer St., Norwich says: "The results that followed the use of Doau's Kidney Pills in my case were satisfactory. I got this remedy at N. D. Sevin & Sons Drug Store and 1t proved effective in strengthen ing my kidneys and relieving other symptoms of kidney trouble"
 A LASTING EFFECT.
 At a. later interview. MT. Browr said: T still hold a high opinion o1 Doan's Kidney Pills and confirm the public statement gave in theil praise some years ago. Kidney trou- ble and I have been strangers for long time"

SOCIAL CORNER.
BETSY RoBRETT PRESENTS
 OTHER SIDE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I have but lately read Etta ;Barber's letter on giving things for which we have no use: and while, practically I agree with all she said, yet I cannot help feeling there are two sides to the question, and that one of them she did not consider at all.l
 I grant there are often many things that go to waste on a farm, but--the average farmer has to keep hustling to earn enough to live on; in fact, it takes about all his time, and he can not often afford to take time to gather up surplus products, to say nothing of distributing them among the needy, or of trying to discover who needs what he does not.
 Do you think there are many who can afford to chop wood or hire it chopped, and then draw it five, ten or maybe fifteen miles to give away? It is very commendable of course, but 1t feeds neither the man or his team nor helps pay the taxes.
 to buy the wood, couldn't pay for drawing if the wood was given to him. So there you are.
 think if Bright Ray will moisten her oatmeal with cold water. then pour over it boiling water, slowly, stirring all the time, she will have no trouble from Jumps.
 Now that prices are so high it may help someone to know that bag of the best wheat, ground, does not cost nearly so much as flour and makes l delicious biscuits, puddings, cakes and l cookies. It is cheaper even than corn l meal Cooked like oatmeal it makes an excellent breakfast cereal. Aunty; Did you find any worms in those chestnuts? Billie: Haven't you recently moved | to a new home? Write us about it, | do.
 l made mustard pickles by a new | recipe this year. and they are so good I I am going to send the recipe, even have cucumbers pickled plain in vim l egar, can add the other ingredients | now, if they like, but don't change the 1 vinegar.
 Mustard Pickle-Small green cu- cunabers enough for gallon vinegar to cover, 1 cup ground mustard, F cur | salt, and # cup sugar. Put in crock | and weight to keep cucumbers under i the vinegar. If possible. put grape leaves at bottom and top of jar. Try them. They are fine.
 l For those who suffer from head aches, try rubbing a little Derno- anodyne on the temples. have known I it to give quick relief from terrible pain.
 Do any of the sisters know about the
 laying habits of Indian Runner ducks
 duck began laying the 9th of Septem- Der and has laid every day except two since-a total of 45 eggs-and is still laying. Does anyone know whether that is an unusual number for a duck to lay in the fail? or is it the regular
 thing for ducks of that breed? | BETSY BoBBETT.

A TRIBUTE FROM RURAL pELiv
 FRY.

Dear Social Corner Editor and Friends: It was sad to learn of the sudden death of D. Duane Bromley, who was one of the first writers of the Social Corner. I well remember when in the early days of the Social Corner page he was my only prother in the department. He was a great lover of flowers and a good poet, and one of his songs, Where the White Birches Grow, was much praised by all members of the Social Corner.
 If the Social Corner had a charter I would suggest it be draped in mourn ing for thirty days or more. He will be greatly missed by all, as he was always ready to strew roses along the path of the Social Corner writers, While he has gone, his mertory will always be fresh to the older members of the department.

Apply sIean's Freely for. Lumase.

Your attacks of lunago are not nearly so hopeless as they seem. You can relieve them almost instantly by a simple application of Sloan's Liniment on the back of the loins. Lunbago is a form of rheumatism and yields, per fectly to Sloan's which penetrates quickly all in through the sore, ten der muscles, limbers up the back and makes it feel fine. Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment for 25 cents of any druggist and have 1t in the house against colds, sore and swollen joints, rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and like ailments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost in- stant relief.

Members Of Woman's Guild Raising Money by Novel Mesna to Wire Grace Church.

Each member of the Wonan's Guild is endeavoring to raise one dollar to add to the fund already collected to have electric lights installed in Grace church. The way the money is being earned is quite amusing. One member has been making cream pies, which found a ready market. The idea is similar to the Dollar party, which was held fifteen years ago and which proved so successful that booklets were printed with the story in rhyme of each one's success.

Prosperous City in Ruins.

Nueyo Laredo, the thriving Mex
lean border town opposite this place,
was in ruins last night, devastated
by the dynamite and fire set by
Mexican federal soldiers, who late
Friday began an orgy Of destruction
which did not end until they were
forced to flee southwark before the
guns of the American border patrol.
Two MeXicans are known to have
been killed by the United States
troops. Several brisk skIrmishes
between the Americans and MeXicans
were fought in quick succession, as
the Mexicans, their troop trains,
ready to pull out of the burning
city, began an indiscriminate fire
across the international boundary,
but tonight there was no evidence
that their shooting had been effect
i've.
Property damage in Nuevo Laredo
will reach 100000, among the
buildings destroyed being the United
States consulate, the municipal
building, the postoffce, the theatre
the flour mill, one of the largest in
this section of the southwest; the
railroad shops of the Mexican Ma
tional railway and other smaller
structures. Kerosene and other COM
bustibles literally used, added to the
wreckage, which otherwise would not
have been great, owing to the adobe
construction largely used. There
was no property loss in Laredo.
Both international bridges are safe
although efforts to dynamite them
resulted in the death of two men
engaged in the undertaking. One
Mexican was shot by a sharpshooter
from the top of the water tower.
The Mexican was trying to reach
the end of the international foot
and wagon bridge. Another was
killed when he tried to blow up
the Mexican end of the International
railroad bridge. American soldiers
are constantly stationed at the Am
erican end to prevent such an at
tempt.
When the MeYicans finally depart
ed, order was quickly restored in
Laredo, but strong guards remained
throughout the city. A serious prob
lem was furnished immigration and
city authorities by the presence here
Of hundreds of refugees from the
burning city, who had TO be fur
|nished food and shelter.
