AFTER THREE YEARS
Norwich Testimony Remains Unsha<en.

Time Is the best test of truth. Here is a Norwich story that has stood the test of time. It is story with point which will come straight home to many of us.
 Mrs. c. Bennett, 46 Palmer St.. Nor wich, says: Some years ago one of my family suffered from backache. Every cold settled on the kidneys and made the trouble worse. The kidneys were disordered, as was shown by the kidney secretions being irregular in passage. Doan's Kidney Pills, pro- cured at N. D. Sevin & Sons Drug Store, brought prompt relief"
 A LASTING EFFECT.
 Almost three years later Mrs. Ben nett said: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured one of my family of kidney trouble some years ago and there has been no sign of it since. I willingly confirm my former endorsement of this medi- cine"
 Price 50c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Deans Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Bennett has twice publicly rec commended. Foster-Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

NAVY FOOD COST
CUT 100000 YEAR

Washington, Aug. 26.-The cost of
feeding the men of the United States
navy has been decreased three-quar-
tiers of a cent a. day for each man,
according to a statement issued by
Secretary Daniels. This means saw
ing of 100000 a year, when compared
with the cost two years ago, and
100000 as compared with the in
crease caused in in the cost of food
by the European war, according to
the secretary.
Not only has this saving been eff
fected, states the circular, but "the
result is that the daily bill of fare in
the fleet is at least as good as, if not,
indeed, superior, to that of the aver
age home on shore" The secretary
also adds that all authorities agree
that the men are better fed than ever
before and that the navy ration is
the finest ration in the world"
To effect this economy and keep
the men fully or adequately fed, Mr..
Daniels explains that Improvement in
the purchasing system was largely
responsible, contracts for all food be-
ing awarded item by item and not in
groups, as previously, and the con-
tracing for supplies to be delivered
regularly at various ports of call
where naval vessels might be expect
ed. This latter saved the emergency
purchase of food supplies at high
prices.
