WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Madison People i'm Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

There are scores Tof people who
drag out a miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their .suf-
fering. Day after day they are rack
ed with backache and headache; suf-
fer from nervousness, dizziness,
weakness, languor and depression.
Perhaps the kidneys have fallen be-
hind in their work of filtering the
blood and that may be the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys, as
sist them in their work-give them
the help they need. You can use no
more highly recommended remedy
than Doan's Kidney Pills-endrosed
by people all over the country and by

KREISCHERVILLE SOUNDS
TOO MUCH LIKE GERMAN
So Residents Have Had Post Once
Name Changed TO Charles

BIZ Special Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, Oct 3.-There Is
no more Kreischerville post Office ac-
cording to the postal authorities at
Washington.
This change took place on Monday
Of this week n the postal station at
that place is now known as Charles
town. Several weeks ago residents of
kreischerville, that is situated on the
Staten Island Sound about two miles
from Tottenville, circulated a petition
with the request that the name OF the
post office be changed ( o Charlestown,
which name the place was known by
before Balthaser Kreischer settled
there way back in the fifties.
Those that circulated the petition
declared that the name Kreicherville
sounded too much like German, 1t is
said that with the many mistakes in
mail and express packages going
wrong they say, was the reason for the
change.
With the change of the post office
Will naturally come the change of the
name of the town. When the petition
went to Washington 1t contained the
names of nearly every prominent citi-
zen and taxpayer in town. Peter Han
sen is the superintendent of the
Charlestown station of the Staten ISL
and post office and he received the
notice of the change Monday morning.
