A WOMAN'S BACK
The Advice of This Stafford Springs
 Woman is of Certain Value.

The AQV1Ce OI nIS SCauOE0 springs
 Woman is of Certain Value. . Many a woman's back has many aches and pains.
 Oft times 'tis the kidneys fault.
 That's why Doan's Pills are SO effective.
 Many Stafford Springs women know this. E.
 Read what one has to say about it:
 Mrs. Charles Fregeau, 37 Westford Ave, says: 1T suffered from back ache of and on for five years. Every little cold settled on my kidneys and the least bit of exertion caused my back to ache terribly, There were times my back was so bad, had to go to bed. I couldn't stoop without being seized by pains and I could scarcely straighten up. At night my back pained me so much couldn't sleep we'll. took medicine, but got no relief until began using Doan's Kidney Pills when the trouble dis appeared. When my back feels little weak now I use Doan's Kidney Pills and they soon make me better. /"

WHY HE SOLD
HIS MOTOR GAR

The hero Of this simple tale, as You
can clearly ses,i in all respects was
Just about the size Of yon or me. He
had an awful dream one night, and in
the. mildest part. he tumbled down q
mountain peak and wakened with a
start. II was on a winter morning
and the mercury was low. The frost
was on the window and the ground
was white with snow. He had a
fwinge of rheumatic and quite a touch
of govt. 4Iesiostahis collar button
and the sfurnacd Sfire was out. His
wife wa9 ON a rampage, and the cook
was on striketh served the
things for breakfast that they knew he
didn't like. He had to reach the office
by quarter to efght-already he was
flustered and was 20 minutes late. He
hustled to the garage without either
coat or hat, and found a tire was
busted and another one was fiat. His
gasoline was minus and his radiator
froze, and what was in his carburetor
heaven only knows. He tried to start
his motor, but his battery was low.
He used his strongest language, but
he couldn't make it go. He caught
the nearest trolley. but the car ran
eff the track, and though they tried
their darndest, yet they couldn't get 1t
back. He. hiked on to the office,
which he entefed weak and tired
And then the boss confronted him and
told him he was fired.
