Stafford Springs People Have Absolute
 Proof of Deeds at Home.
 It's not words but deeds that prove true merit.
 The deeds of Doan's Kindey Pills,
 For Stafford Springs kidney suf ferers,
 Have made their local reputation.
 Proof lies in the testimony ot Stafford Springs people.
 Mrs. M. G. Converse, E. Main St. Stafford Springs, says: "For long time I suffered from backache and had about despaired of getting relief. To my surprise and delight, Doan' 's Kidney Pills acted effectively as soon as I began taking them and soon made me feel like different person. An other of our family suffered for long time from kidney trouble. This complaint caused loss of rest. Nothing brought relief until Doan's Kidney Pills were procured at the Eaton Drug Store. The pain and lameness was removed and the other symptoms of kidney trouble left

KITCHEN SINKS.
They Are Low Vet Because They Had
 to Be Low Originally.

They Are Low Vet Because They Had
 to Be Low Originally.
 In a recent issue of the Survey the question why kitchen sinks have been made SO low was discussed. No one seemed able to explain. Finally a certain maker discovered that the orig inal sinks were made when the wash in. of dishes and other sink work was .,one ill wooden tubs with high sides. Such d tub when used ill high sink came up too far. so the sink was made low. Furthermore. as running water and fixed faucets had not long been mad>, the tub had to be lifted out of hr sink and the lower the sink the ightc.' the lift.
 Through improvements in faucets. ishplns and other accessories of kit hon sinks have been made no one has seemed to realize that the sink could be improved by raising. So women were-and are-compelled to endure discomfort when dong their ordinary household work.

WHAT "sHocK" MEANS.
How It May Affect the Physical and
 Mental Systems.

How It May Affect the Physical and Mental Systems.
 In medical language shock" means the depression of the vital forces, both mental and physical The condition may result from many causes and may vary from q faintness and pal.or that soon disappear to state so desperate that the sufferer dies of it, as in the case of serious accident or difficult surgical operations.
 Shock may also be the result of an overpowering emotion, like great ter. TOT. That kind of shock is often seen in the survivors of any terrible acci- dent. Many who have not got so much as scratch suffer for long time from a state of impaired health. Sometimes their nervous systems ;~< s1 na(li,, shattered that they never entirely re- cover. That is one of the many re:sons why foolish practical jokes are wrong 1t is not funny to dress up like ghost to jump out on timid children from be- hind doors, to play jokes" with dead mice or snakes. And such pleasantries are dangerous as well as stupid. Many an unfortunate child has been made the slave of fear all his life by reason of shock that some playmate gave him in his youth. The remedies that the physician uses are those which will restore the blood to its normal flow and stimulate the vital functions. For shock associated with great loss of blood the best thing is to inject salt solution. For shock without hemor- rhage, stimulant of some kind is gen. era)ly gjven.-Youth's Companion.

Honesty Tn War,

Tn" French marshal Turenne was not Cnly a great general, but man of singular honesty of character as well. Many incidents which are related of him show his modesty, generosity and honesty, as well as his courage and military ability. A little story of one of his German campaigns illustrates his rare scrupulousness, even in time of war. The authorities of Frankfort believed, from the movements of his army, that he intended passing through their territory. They sent deputa. tion to him which offered him large sum of money if he would alter the di rection of his march and leave Frank fort unmolested. They were surprised in more way than one by his answer. "Gentlemen." said he, my conscience will not permit me to accept your mon ey, for I have never intended to lead my army through your town"

Business VS. Politics

There's real difference in bust
ness and in politics.
: When railroad has a tifty-thous-
and-dollar job to give out a dozen
meet in little room, talk over the
situation and name a man. He is
notified in a two-cent letter and
comes, takes off his hat, begins die
tating letters to his stenographer-
and that's all there is to it.
When commonwealth has a five
thousand dollar job to let it spends a
hundred thousand dollars on an cleo
ton, Anyone who is inclined may
run. They line up and the canvass
consists mainly in telling what a mis-
cradle hound the ether fellow is.
Nobody thinks of figuring out
whether the man can hold the job
down The fellow who is in has pro-
badly spent two years and is just be-
ginning to learn the trade, but that
makes no difference. Rouse NIT i'm!
Then when the fellow is elected we
put on a show. We fire seventeen
guns when we ought to fire seven
teen sons-of-guns. We elect man be-
cause he believes that he should drink
whiskey behind the door and deny
that he knows the smell Of it.
As soon as we have installed him
in Office we get us selection of
assorted rocks and commence to pelt
him and every time we hit him we
howl with delight.
But its lots of fun. What's the
use of an election if we have to be
sensible about it? The Pink Rag.

not allowed to interfere with the fun,
which is said to be in abundance.
During the run of the play some
startling scene and situations are seen
the principal Of which is the saw-mill,
in the third act shown in complete
operation, cutting up real timber.
The saw used is the genuine article,
the same as usually seen in large
country saw-mills. An excellent band
and fine orchestra accompany this
attraction. The band will parade at
noon, when some good music may be
looked for.
