It's too much to try to work
every day against a constant,
dull backache, or sudden darling
pain in the small of the back. BE
rid of it. Try DoaE's Kidney
Pills. Your neighbors recon-
mend them.

grip left my kidneys in weakened con-
dition. The slightest homework tired
me, and after was on my feet for hours,
sharp pains across my back compelled me
to stop and rest. Other compiler tions
came on and had trouble with my kid
neys. l paid out over one hundred dol7
lars for doctors bills and other medicines
but got no relief. ! became discouraged
until someone advised me to try Doan's
Kidney Pills. They stopped the trouble
in Il short time and rid me of the dan
gerous attack" Statement given No

son said: II still use Doan's Kidney
Pills now and then and find them as ex-

METHODIST REVIVAL
gNIEETING BEGINS SUNDAY

Revival services will begin at the
Methodist Church Sunday morning
April 2nd. and continue from day to
day as long as It seems wise. While
we have felt the need OF a revival as a
church and have felt that the Church
as a Church needed to engage In a
revival. the prime object Of this, as Of
all genuine revivals Of religion is the
salvation OF those who are unsaved.
We invite all Christians Of all denom-
nations to assist US in these special
efforts. We most cordially extend this
invitation to the other churches for
several reasons.
First, In the spirit of Christian fra
ternity we desire their fellowship;
Second we need all the help We can
get to accomplish the needed results;
Third. we feel that a revival project
ed only for selfish reasons, would fail
and ought to fail. We hope therefore
that all Christian people will feel per
fectly at home with us and will rem
der all the assistance possible.
The announcements will be made
more in detail from the pulpit Sun
day and from time to time.
Rev r. A. Clements, pastor OF the
Methodist church at Colorado will be
with us to help lead the forces.

The Board Of Trustees Of the sny-
der Independent School District met
Tuesday morning and discussed tho
plans for continuing the schools. In
the first place the board considered
the fact that The state apportionment
was cut down from IS per scholastic
to So this year This was unavoidable
by the school board of Snyder Il ap-
poaring that the money received
would run the schools Tor this week
only making seven months. and the
interests OF the children being duly
considered the board decided that the

ply to all pupils who attend and all

some cannot come on that day and
want 10 come later they may do SO
on the payment OF the SECULAR tut
tIon.
II is to be hoped that all pupils
will be kept in school To close the
schools means that pupils can not be
promoted II means that the work
next year will be hamperedby having
part OF this years work to do. Il
means that the schools will lose their
standing In this section Of the state
and take second rating II means that
all the constructive work of the past
several years Is a total loss. II means
that the school will lose ~ afflliation
with the University, II nov having
thirteen units and with a good pros
pect for four and one hah more. II
means turning your children out on
the streets and other places when
you can not use them and when they
will have nothing 10 do
