MEN SKIP DRILL.
Certain Members of Thirteenth Com pany Cause Others to Lose Their Pay.

Though members of the Thirteenth company, c. A. C., in common with other military. organizations of the state, now receive pay for drills, pro viding that at least 41 members of the company are present on an appointed drill night, there have been three in- stances out of five appointed drill nights since the opening of the pres ent drill season when the number of men reporting has been below the number mentioned. The result is that, on such nights. all who were present have had to drill without getting the pay now allowed about a dollar each for enlisted men.
 It is expected, however, that the practice of paying men for taking part in drills will attract recruits to the service and that before long it will not be at all difficult to have une re- quired minimum present at every drill

 Many Suffering Norwich Folks

Just another report of a case in Norwich. Another typical case. Kid ney ailments relieved in Norwich with Doan's Kidney Pills.
 Hiram U. Neff, 465 East Main St., Norwich, says: q have used Deans Kidney Pills off and on for a number of years for attacks of kidney trouble and rheumatism. The pain seems to settle mostly in my back and across my kidneys. At times it is so bad that I can scarcely get around. I am hardly able to stoop or straighten on account of the pain. The kidney act ion is irregular and the secretions are unnatural At such times buy Doan's Kidney Pills at Sevin & Sons Drug Store and they always remove the pains and cause the kidney secre- tions to become natural"
 Price 50c at all dealers. Don't sim ply ask for a kidney remedy - get Doans Kidney Pills - the same that Mr. Neff had. Foster Milburn Co., Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

Ten months ago Martin Nelson o.
! Warren, Pa, was so hard up that he
didn't care how he got money. Short
ly afterward he was convicted OF OBJ
tanning it under false pretences and
was sem to Jail for six months. The
publicity caused by his arrest led to
his discovery by friends who had
good news for him.
Today Nelson was off for his old
home in Dnemark to claim a legacy OF
$4,000. Had he never been sent to jail
probably he never would have heard
of the legacy. So, at least, the DAN
ish Consul declared. He said that he
had been seeking Nelson for five years.
The newspap clipping telling OF Mel
sons arrest and Imprisonment in the
Warren county Jail was the first trace
he got of him.
This story has two morals. One is
that if you can't get publicity any
other way. so to Jail for it. The
other is that advertising pays, SO II
you get locked up, be sure to let the
world hear about it.
