Whats the Reason?
Many Canaan People in Poor Health without knowing the cause.


 There are scores of people who drag out miserable existence without reali. zing the cause of their suffering. Day after day they are racked with back ache and headaches; suffer from ner- vousness, dizziness, weakness, languor and depression. Perhaps the kidneys have fallen behind in their work of Altering the blood and that may be the root of the trouble. Look to your kid neys assist them in their work-give them the help they need. You can use no more highly recommended remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills-endo!sed by people all over the country sand by your. neighbors in Canaan.
 Mrs. l.. Wickwire, Railroad St., Canaan, says: We have used Doan's Kidney Pills in our ia mily for the past two years and they have always helped us wonderfully from the first time we took them. At one time, had terrible backaches, but Doan's Kidney Pills quickly relieved me. Now, once in awhile, catch cold in my back, but l take a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills with excellent results.
 Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Wickwire uses. Foster. Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.-Adv.

Due to a
misunderstanding

! went over to see Won der Lancken
the first thing in the morning, ard
told him the whole story, in order that
he might be thinking over what he
was going to do about it before the
minister went over 20 see him at IL.
The minister said his say in plain lam
guage. and got a promise that steps
would be taken at once to get the girls
out of prison and have them brought
TO Brussels. Later in the day Won der
Lancken came through with the infor-
nation that the action of the authori-
ties at Mons was "due to a misunder-
standing" and that everything was
lovely now. We suppose that the girls
will be here tomorrow; if not, in
quiries will be made, and the minister
will probably 60 down himself.
Yesterday morning we spent visiting
soup kitchens, milk stations and the
distributing centres for supplying old
clothes to the poor. The whole thing
is under one organization and most
wonderfully handled. 1t is probably
the biggest thing of the sort that has
ever been undertaken and is being
done magnifcently.
1t is curious thing to watch the
commission grow. 1t started as moth
ing but a group of American mining
engineers, with the sympathetic aid of
some of our diplomatic representa-
tives and the good will of the neutral
world. II is rapidly growing into a
powerful international entity, negotiat-
ing agreements with the great powers
of Europe, enjoying rights that no
government enjoys and, as the warning
governments come to understand its
sincerity and honesty, gaining infu-
ence and authority day by day.
There is no explanation OF the de-
parture of Won der Goltz. His sue
cessor has come out with a proclama-
ton in three lines, as follows:
"His majesty, the Emperor ard
King, having deigned to appoint me
Governor General in Belgium, | have

The answer was that ne must come
