To have good health. the digestion, heart, lungs and kidneys must work perfectly. When there is anything wrong with the digestion, heart or lungs, a very noticeable pain or distress gives prompt warning. Kidney trouble is more easily overlooked, however, and too often gains long start. But kidney trouble does give early signs, and backache, headaches, dizzy spells, rheumatic pains, too frequent, scanty or painful urination should not be neg lected. When these warnings appear, use Doan Kidn ey Pills. the reliable, successful, strongly-recommeded kidney remedy. Assist the medicine by taking things easier. reducing the diet and the use of liquors. A severe attack of kid ney disease may be avoided. Doan's Kidney Pills have won the grateful praise of Canaan people. Read this Canaan residents enforcement

try.
 Plans for a junior agricultural army In Connecticut this summer were ad- vanced at a meeting of principals of high and secondary schools in the state held recently at the state capitol In Hartford on invitation of Governor necticut Committee of Food Supply. About fifty principals were present, and every one signed the following pe- tition:
 "I believe that boys and girls in our schools should take some part in meet ing the agricultural crisis that faces our state. I am willing to cooperate with the Connecticut Committee of Food Supply to the best of my abil- ity."
 It was made clear at the meeting that there would be a large number of boys available for farm work in Connecticut this summer, and the food supply committee Is assuring the farmers of the state that they can se- cure their services by making applica- ton to the town clerk or county agents.
 It was made plain that agricultural service was equally important with military service and that every man not eligible for service in the army or navy could serve his country through food production work.
 The following proclamation to the pupils of Connecticut was issued by the committee of food supply:
 To the School Pupils of Connecticut.
 Your country has declared war on he greatest military power of the r5orld. Under the conditions of mod ern warfare the burden of the war is and should be borne by all equally. according to his or her ability. There arke two things which your country needs most at this time-an army of men to fight and an army of people to produce food. Both are essential. It is just as much the duty of n boy of less than military age to do his share as it is that of his older brother to enlist in the armed forces. Your coun- try faces a great shortage of food, both for ourselves and to supply eur allies during the coming year. One of the most important ways in which this shortage can be met is to increase the supply of labor necessary for the production of foodstuffs.
 "Now, therefore, we, the Connecticut Committee of Food Supply, in accord ance with authority vested in us by his excellency Governor Marcus H. Holcomb,- under chapter 44 of the pub lie acts of 1917, do urge upon you the necessity and the opportunity to serve your country by enlisting for the pro iuction of food during the coming sum- mer season."

promptly was vetoed
1t was explained that firm in Mos

doubtful until peace had brought about

the young Mr.. Biggerstaff was gently

But the Russian bee had stung the
youthful salesman hard and he re-
manned unconvinced.

granted. SO, armed with nothing but

had been accustomed to spreading or
cracker boxes for the delectation OF
rural storekecpers, and unbounded con
fidence in himself, he set out for tho
