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 and by your neighbors in Canaan.
 Mrs. l.. Wickwire, Railroad St., Canaan, says: "We have used Doan s Kidney Pills in our family 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 take few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills with excellent results.'
 Price soc, 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.

Idolatry as It is.

After months spent in idolatrous lands I have been unable to see much real worship in heathen shrines. The edu- cated worship with their tongues in their cheeks and the ignorant with their hearts in their mouths. But the amount of real worship that exists in heathen temples is very small.
 Sometimes a bereaved mother will enter the temple and draw from her kimono the tiny bib of departed little one and tie 1t to the statue of Jizo, the god of motherhood. Sometimes an old man or woman almost blind will enter the temple and rub the eyes of wood ell god and then rub his own in the hope that eternal darkness may not close in on his affrighted soul. In some places Buddhist services are as digni- fled, as we'll attended and as helpful as our own. In Hakodate I attended a Buddhist preaching service that smack ed less of idolatry and more of morals than some ceremonials in our cruel form chapels.- Christian Herald.

IilNDENBURG MAKES
 COUNTER ATTACK
Forces British and French
 Back at Two Points.

Hindenburg has struck back on the aawo wings of the~ffne that bears his zname.
 Tn the first concerted counter offen- ssiye since the entente spring drive be- Sgan he attacked with tremendous force an and around Bullecourt and all along efhe Aisne front. e.
 !. Both British and French official ac- ~connts admit the loss of some advanced Epositions, but assert the TeutOn counter sdrive on the whole broke down.
 Berlin makes no mention of gains on ,4tbe British front, but announces an i'm. spertant success against the French.
 The counter drive on the British front consisted of two separate determined attacks, one in BullecOurt and the other against the British positions In the yaearby sector of the old Hindenburg faine. The latter was failure.
 "In Bullecourt," reported Sir Douglas EHaig This attack was also repulsed after fighting in which our advanced rposts in the northwestern portion of rfhe village were forced back a short distance"
 The strategical purpose of the Teu- atpn attacks in this battered village was ~Eo remove the British menace to the ;.s6nthern extremity of the Wotan line. The Australians, however, held fast ill the major part of the village.
 On the Franco-German front the crown prince struck out on both sides of the Road of the Ladies'" the high way which dominates the forefield de- fenses of Laon. He tried to turn the French positions on this valuable strate- gfc road by thrusting forward to the northwest of Braye-en-Laennois and to the north of Sepigneul.
 "The Germans" said the Paris day scommunique, were not able to ap- sproach our lines except at one point @Where the. enemy gained a\footing in a0ne of our advanced trenches southwest n0f Filain.
 Berlin, on the other hand, announced sfhe capture of the Ste. Berthe farm @east of Fort Malmaison. The German War office further reported that the 'snewly captured line on Hill 109, north of Sepigneul, "won by pressing back the French" was held against all coun ger attacks.

JEWISH NEW YEAR
 WILL BEGIN SUNDAY

Rosh Ha Shone, the Jewish New Year, will begin at sundown Sunday. It is religious and not a secular holiday. It is the preparation for the Day of Atonement which falls ten days later. It is the day when the Jews call on themselves to weigh their thoughts and actions of the past. As the beginning of a New Year, it is in keeping with the religion of the Jews, devoted to introspection and severe moral self-scrutiny.
