CORROBORATION

Of1nterest to Stafford Springs Readers.
 For months Stafford Springs citizens have seen in these columns enthusiastic praise of Doan s Kidney Pills, by resi- dents of this locality.
 Would these prominent people rec- ommend remedy that had not proven reliablep
 Would they confirm their statements after years had elapsed if personal experience had not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement?
 The following statement should carry conviction to the mind of every Stafford Springs reader.
 Samuel Dikeman, W. Main St. 1, Willimantic, Conn. says: For over Ia year I suffered more or less from my kidneys and back. The complaint was always aggravated if caught cold. I finally saw Doan sKidney Pills advertised and got supply. They did me a great deal of good. willing ly confirm all I have ever said in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, and you may continue to publish my former statements. y
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don'' simply ask for kidney remedy gel Doan's Kidney Pills-the same tha MT. Dikeman had. Foster Milburr Co., Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

Live Spiders Food For Young Wasps.
 The young of some wasps can live only on live spiders, and the mother wasp therefore renders the spider pow eriess by her sting, after which it can live month. and then deposits it in the cocoon where she has laid her egg On matching out the wasp grubs feed on the bodies of the living spiders pro- vided for them.
 Another wasp deposits her egg in the body of the spider, which is then bur jed alive and is fed upon by the wasp grub.-London Standard

 Sunday the church was beauti- fully decorated with cherry, pear, peach and plum blossoms. There were 69 at Bible school and large congregation to listen to Pastor Oar. rows fine sermon to the young people who all listened with closest attention. The words of his text from 1 John 2d 14,,'' write unto you young men because you are strong,' and the in- junction of Timothy. Let no man despite thy youth, were so instruc- lively and suggestively considered as to stimulate desire in the elderly for second chance. There were five-strirged instruments in the or- chestra, and the good singers in the congregation made the music im- pressive. Next Sunday the discourse will be for those of middle age, and the third in the series to the elderly.
 There was a delightful May. day party on the Hill Saturday in which some 50 children participated. There were many pretty games, including the driving of hoops and running of races.

 A picked team of players, mostly from Warren's and Johnson's. played the Highlanders of Rock villa at Hyde park on Saturday, and the playing of both teams was not much to enthuse over, some of the wild throws going nearly into the river, the offenders being on both sides. However, as the game progressed, both sides got their bearings and played fairly good ball. Wise started to pitch for Staf- ford, but poor support and sore arm put him out of the running and Curnan took up the burden in the fourth. He pitched good ball and suo- ceeded in holding down the opposi- tion. Curnan' s pitching and Tom Mullins fielding were the features, while A. Wormstedt starred for Rock. vile.

bursting into bloom made an ideal spring. like day.
 The burning of the farm house of Frank Vanesek last week Monday was caused by sparks from a fire kindled to get tea, and the building was be- yond help before the family was noti- fled by neighbors that the roof was ablaze. The fire was seen from the Hill and Fire Warden Amidon was notified by telephone, responding inn mediately with his machine, pickin up Messrs. Morse and Smith on the way, and was soon at the scene where they were joined by force from South Wilmington with chemical ex- tinguishers that made short work with the fire that was running rapidly in the grass and timber land. There is an insurance. Much sympathy ii felt for the family. MT. Vanesei had made many improvements since purchasing the place known as the Darling place and as the old Horace Holt place, by the older people.

Every Woman Should Know

Every Woman Should Know There are three ntirely diff ferent kinds of baking powder, namely: (l) Cream of tartar, derived
 from grapes;
 (2) Alum, mineral acid; and (3) Phosphate of Lime.
 CD Baking Powders made of Cream of Tartar add to the food the same healthful qualities that exist in the ripe grapes from which Cream of Tartar is derived. (2) Baking Powders made of Alum add to the food some form of Alum or Aluminium, a heavy metal, wholly foreign to any natural article of food.
 (3) Phosphate of Lime is made from rock or by burning bones which by chemical action are changed into white, powdered acid. It is used in baking powder only because it is cheaper substitute 4 Cream of Tartar po,oder neoer contains Alum Phosphate.
 Every housekeeper should read the names of the ingredi ents printed the label and know what she is using.

One of the most startling things Of
all up the tabernacle way is to walk
suddenly into the cafeteria and see
standing there an old-fashioned, sweet
faced, gray haired woman-the exact
replica of your dead and gone grand
mother-calmly munching "hot dog"
sandwich and slipping coffee out of a
cumbersome receptacle bearing all the
earmarks Of a shaving mug.
The look Of keen enjoyment on her
face is proof positive that she has
always wanted to do this very thing,
but never had a cause so justifiabls
before.--Philadelphia Record.

WAR SITUATION.

There has been lull in fighting on
all fronts for q few days and it is
thought little fighting will take place
until after Christmas.
The Germans are said to be massing
troops to attack the allies at Saloniki,
Greece. 1t Is claimed they will be
ready to strike by tomorrow. but the
allies claim not sufficient men are ready
for such action. The feeling is gener-
al that the next big battle will be
fought at Saloniki, Greece. The ltal-
lans have landed nearly 100, 900 troops
m Albania on the coast of Adriatic sea
to help the Serbians and Montenegrins.
The allies have withdrawn part of
their forces from Galipoli and there IS
much surmise if the effort to force the
Dardanelles will be abandoned.

WARNING FROM BRITAIN
Sees the Necessity of a Protective
Tariff After War.

Those American statesmen who pro-
fess to believe that there is no danger
of the dumping of cheap products in
this country after the close of the
European war, would do we'll to ponder
upon word of warning which has been
uttered by the London Morning Post to
the people Of Great Britain. At time
when the discussion of domestic prob
lens is discouraged by the government,
the Post feels Impelled to say:
Military victory is still far away !;
but even military victory will not save
this nation If 1t Is won by others and
not by ourselves and If 1t is accompan-
led by commercial defeat. We under
stand that those German industries
which rely on the export trade are at
present time producing, not so much
for export, as tor dumping after the
war. The State is at present subsldlz-
ing these German industries for the
express purpose of accumulaiing re-
serves which will be used tor deluglng
our markets with cheap goods when
the war Is over How are we going to
meet this menace?
"This country must have national
protective tariff If 1t IS to survive the
fierce commercial conflict which IS sure
to follow this war. We may be told
that even to mention this subject Is
what IS called breach of the party
truce. If Ii has come to this. that the
party truce to prevent this country
from adoptliA IN time policy neces-
sary to it's : Ivation, then the party

ton of inperl nion and trade pro-
lection out of -: realm of party poll

Preparation for Home Use.

The woman who values her looks
should drink at least pint of water
daily, and preferably more, including a
tumblerful, either hot or cold, the last
thing at night.
Distilled water is by far the best,
but If hot is not available, water that
has been boiled and allowed to stand
for two or three hours till it has be-
come reaerated is more wholesome
than merely filtered water, especially
in districts where the water contains
an undue amount Of chalk, which, after
boiling, will settle into a sediment
from which the remainder can be
poured off.-Philadelphia Press.

old BOARD WINS.
City Election Results in Retaining Pres
ent Mayor and AIdermanic Board.

Tne city election last Wednesday de-
veloped some warmth in spite of the
day being wet and cold. In the case
of the race for mayor between J. b.
johnson, the present mayor, and l.. L.
Thurman, the final count showed John.
son to have won by margin of 19
votes.
In the case of the aldermen it seems
the people took the opposition board
mostly at their word and refrained
from voting for them. q. A. Haley
and Dandy Smith received very
favorable vote. On the others the vote
was some lighter.
In the race for justice of the peace
u. S. Rose won over I. M. Brady by
20 votes. Both are good men, but ow-
ing to the fact that Mr.. Rose had
served as county clerk for nearly
twenty years the public seemed to feel
that he was the better qualified man of
the two and voted accordingly.
In the election of member of the
school board j. s. Reed had no opposi-
ton and received the highest vote of
anyone on the ticket except Fred cate.
They received 80 votes each, Mr.. Cate
for Alderman and Mr.. Reed for men,
ber of the school board. The vote
stood as follows:
For may or: J. b. Johnson, rs; l..
T. Thurman, Sc; giving Mr. johnson a
majority of 19 votes.
For aldermen the old board members
received the following votes: Fred
Cate, 88; H. e. Bandy, SO; Mike Hale,
Sc; w. e. Keyes, 72. The opposition
ticket put out without the consent of
the men voted for, received the follow
ing votes: &. A. Haley, 50; Dandy
Smith, Al; K. L. 5llbrey, "a; Percy
Beadle, z. Fl
In the race for justice of the peace
the vote stood: U. S. Rose, 70; I. M.
Brady. SO; J. S. Watson. 2. 1t was re-
ported that MIR. Watson withdrew from
the race in the morning.
The victory tor the old board is re-
garded as a strong declaration in favor
of law and order and the retaining OF
Marshal Hill Lowrey. 1t was gener-
ally talked and many believed that
should the new board be elected an
effort would be made to reduce the sal
ary now paid Marshal Lowrey with the
purpose of getting him to resign and
thus the forces that do not favor his
rigid enforcement OF order would get
rid of HIM. Had the new board been
elected nothing of the kind would have
happened for the new board would
have been almost to man for retain
ing Marshal Lowrey. AS it is every
thing will move on in the same splen-
dlo manner it has the past year.
