NO REST NO PEACE

There's no peace and little rest for
the one who suffers from a bad back,
and distressing urinary diorders. New
Britain people recommend Doar's
Kidney Pills. Be guided by their ex-
perience.
Henry B. Johnson. "a Maple ST.,
New Britain, says II have used
Doan's Kidney, Pills off and on for
years whenever have had any
trouble from my back and kidneys.
i want to Say that they work fine,
always curing the attacks that usual
" come on as the result Of over
work. 1 am either on my feet con-
stantly or sitting in a cramped posi-
ton and I think that had something
to do with 1t. My back has become
80 lame that I have hardly been able
to bend over and it has panied me so
constantly, even after retiring that I
had little rest. During an attack
when I got up mornings, 7 was sore
and stiff across my back and the
pains didn't let up at all until had
worked several hours. M get Doan's
Kidney Pills at the first sign Of the
trouble now. Before / use a box. the

In his testimony DR.. Tildsley said
that he had asked Schmalhausen to
make on the margin Of the Herman

might have made in the class. In
reply to the request 1T appeared that
the teache made a number Of margin

DRY nation Vote
BY CHRISTMAS
ProhibitioniSts Working Hard in
Washington for Dry Country

Washington, Dec. 4.-The fight for
National Prohibition will be resumed
with vigor when the House judiciary
committee will meet to consider the
Sheppard joint resolution. This meas
ure provides for an amendment to
the constitution for Nation Wide Pro-
hibition. Chairman Webb will ask
for favorable report. 80
The campaign against liquor will be
intense. The forces are lining up for
a finish fight. The National Wohan's
Christian Temperance Union is in ses-
sion here and will give all the as
sistance possible to the foes of in
toxicating liquors.
ION my return from Texas" said
Senator Sheppard, IT find the dry
forces united and enthusiastic for Ma
ton wide Prohibition. House members
told me today that the resolution for
an amendment would be adopted. I
am very hopeful of the final result.
Il am pleased with the effect of
prohibition on the District of Column
bia. We have beautiful reports from
the Anti-Saloon league, showing how
beers of poor families in Washington.
Much less work for charity will be
needed this winter because of prohi-
bition. Prohibition here is going to
prove a wonderful example to the rest
of the nation
If the prohibition amendment wins
in the House Judiciary committee,
Mr.. Webb will ask for rule for a
vote on the resolution before the
Christmas holidays.
The vets are not making extra eff
forts to stem the tide of prohibition.
They believe that if the resolution for
an amendment is adopted the legisla-
lures will turn it down.
About fifty votes in the house are
uncertain. The drys claim that if
they can hold twenty of the doubtful
ones they will win when the show
down comes. Mr.. Webb said that
everybody is ready for a vote.
The prohibition forces established Il
camp at the capitol today in prep
aration for the fight to put through
the amendment. The Anti-Saloon
league lobbyists were in the corridors
on the house side laying plans.
Representative Randall Of Califor-
MIA introduced a bill amending the
Food Control Bill so as to make abso-
lutte prohibition. The bill provides
that, mo person shall sell, manu-
facture, transport or import, nor shall
any person use any food, fruits, food
materials orr feeds in the production
of alcohol or alcoholic beverages ex-
cept for governmental, Industrial,
manufacturing. scientific or medical
purposes during the term of the pres
emit war"
Violation of this would be punish
able by a fine of $1,000 or two years
imprisonment.
Patriotic ceremonies and the ad .
dress of the President, Miss Anna A.
Gordon, engaged the attention here
today of nearly 1000 delegates to
the annual convention of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union.
