Resident.

We have been reading week after
week in the local press of Madison
citizens who have been rid of dis
trsssing kidney and bladder troubles
by Doan's Kidney Pills. and we have
often wondered whether the same
high opinion of this medicine is to be
found in our neighboring towns.
This frank and earnest statement by
a well-known and respected resident
of Chester will set this doubt at rest.
Mrs. NJ. Christensen. Chester, s.
D., says: Il suffered more or less
from my kidneys, the principal all
ment being backache. At times |
was in agony from the pain across
my loins. / was also tired and ner-

Kidney Pills and | noticed a change

Buildings Not Closed.

A great many visitors to Washing
ton during the Easter holidays and In
the spring, when Washington Is at its
best, have concluded that this Is not a
good time to visit Washington on ac-
count OF a false impression obtained In
regard to the closing OF public build
ings by reason of the serious war sit
uation.
As a matter of fact, the building
occupied by the state. war and navy
departments and the White House
are the only buildings which have been
closed and to which visitors are not
admitted. There is still a great deal
TO see In Washington. including the
capitol, the library. patent office, treas
ury, Washington monument, Smith
sonian institution, bureau of engray-
Ing and printing. government printing
office, as well as the side trips to Alex
andria and Mount Vernon. Arlington,
etc. They are all well worth seeing
and afford a field OF interest for the
tourist probably unsurpassed In Amer
lea IL not in the entire world.
