TIME TO ACT
Don't Wait for the Fatal Stages of Kidney Illness Profit by Ca-
 naan Peoples Experiences.

haah NNPiN AA AApSh"hNNS'
 Occasional attacks of backache, ir. regular urination, headaches and dizzy spells are freqeunt symptoms of kidney disorders. It's an error to neglect these ills. The attacks may pass off for a time but generally return with greater intensity. Don't delay a min- ute. Begin taking Doan's Kidney Pills, and keep up their use until the desired results are obtained. Good work in Canaan proves the effective. ness of this great kidney remedy.
 Mrs. John Devine, Bragg St., Ga. naan, says: "One of the family was troubled by packache and other symp- toms of disordered kidneys. Nothing proved of benefit until Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at R. T. Farnum & Co. s Drug Store, were used. They restored the kidneys to normal condition and relieved the backache."
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kindey Pills-the same that Mrs. Devine recommends. Foster. Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

DUPONT OOINGS
What The Powder Officials and Work
men Are Thinking About.

Three train crews which shifted freight
cars in the powder plant inclosure were
laid of last week.
About 400 carpenters have been laid
off. Some because the work on build
lngs IN the powder plant is finished.
some because all the ruberoid apartment
houses for families TO live in are nearing
completion, others because lumber and
other supplies are short.
The urgent rush orders for powder are
over, but theumen now employed are very
busy. Wa orders booked by the dupont
Powder Company have reached an aggre-
gate of 100000, 600, it is understood.
Much of this business was filed
in the fiscal year ending December 81.
1913, and was the potent factor in the
production of the S37. 1913 of net
profits which the company reported for
last year. Prior to the present war the
dupont Companys net profit has formed
about 2 per cent. of gross.
The highest price at which powder sold
before the war was &c cents per pound.
but it is understood that last year the
company delivered its product under its
war contracts for prices running between
81 and $1.25 per pound. On the other
hand the price of the ingredients of pow
der has advanced. The company has an
bounced that it will expand the DUPONT
fabrikOid plant at Newburg, n. Y. one of
its subsidiaries. Fabrikoid is made from
cotton fiber. 1t is not only being used
as a substitute for leather. but also felt
in hats.
The sales department of the du Pont
Fabrokoid Co. intends to test the artistic
millinery ability of its women employees
and the women members of its employees
families. Incidentally it will learn how
Fabrikoid, one of the most important of
the great powder plants b~y-products,
looks decorating a fair head and Illus
trate another of the many uses of the
product. Cash prizes will be given for
the most stylish designed hats made OF
fabrikoid.
