the efficiency of any remedy than the test OF
timer Thousands of people testify that
Doan's Kidney Pills have brought lasting
results.
Home endorsement should prove uu-
doubtedly the merit of this remedy. Years
ago your friends and neighbors testified
to the relief they had derived from the use
of Doan's Kidney Pills. They now confirm
their testimonials. They say time has
completed the test.
E. l.. Roger, Prop. Montgomery House,
Rockville, Md. says: Il know that Doan's
Kidney Pills are good kidney medicine.

my kidneys and they gave excellent re-
suits"
The above statement was given May 20,
1911. and on August II. 1915, Mr. Roger
said: THE statement | gave praising
Doan's Kidney Pills in 1911 still holds good.

LONDON, February 24.--ReafEirma-
tion Of the determination OF Great Brit.
ain not to discuss any terms Of peace
with Germany until "the Prussian
military domination Is destroyed was
made yesterday in the house Of com.
mons by Premier Asquith, in response
to q suggestion that the time for-peace
negotiations was now opportune. ~
This suggestion was advanced by
Philip Snowden, the Socialist member
from Blackburn, who urged that the
question Of peace be now taken up
with Germany, inasmnch as II appeared
that any chance OF inhieting crush,
ing defeat upon the Germans is i'm,
possible, while il was equally evident
that there exists no possibility Of Ger
many winning against the Allies. The
Socialist member urged that to con-,
tinue the war under present conditions
meant only that the participants would
all be bankrupted soon in both men
and money.
The Premier responded for the gov.
eminent, announeir rs determination
to carry on the struggle and to refuse
to listen to any terms Of compromise.
"We win never stop until Belgium
and Serbia are able to recover from
Germany and Austria full damages for
all that they have sacrificed We viii
never stop until France is fully secured
against any further aggression. We
will never stop until the rights of al
small nations TO exist in'peace and

Cusses Ocean Traffic

This community owes . great deal
to Captain Matson,'' L. Faxon Bishop
said yesterday, speaking on behalf of
the Sugar Factors Company. ~ do
not believe there is any other ship.
owner in the United States who would
have done what he has. Captain Mat
son simply raised the freight rate fit,
cents ton and asked for a five-year
contract. In these days Of freight con.
gestion, when vessel owners can name
their own rates and get any price they
demand for cargoes, a community that
is the recipient of such favors should
express iH gratitude by giving loya
support. In my opinion the merchants
do realize their Indebtedness to Cap
tain Matson.
''The Sugar Factors Company han
