Strong-Kidney Ills Corrected.

All over Butler you hear it. Doan's
Kidney Pills are keeping up the good
work. Butler people are telling about
it-telling of bad backs made sound
again. You can believe the testimony
of your own townspeople. They tell
it for the benefit of you who are suf-
fering, If your back aches, if you
feel lame, sore and miserable, if the
kidneys act too frequently, or pas
sages are painful, scanty and off color,
use Doan's Kidney Pills, the remedy
that has helped so many of your
friends and neghbors. Follow this
Butler citizens advice and give
Doan's chance to do the same for
you.
A. H. Herrell, florist, 10 Broad
way, says: Il had dull, heavy ache
in my back. Getting up or down or
lifting anything caused sharp sting
ing pain in my back. My kidneys
acted too often, especially at night
and the secretions were scanty, scald-
ing and unnatural. Doan's Kidney
Pills completely relieved me. A few
doses now and then keeps me in good
health

REFRESHMENTS TABOOED.

IN spite of all that the Food Admin
istration has said regarding the fourth
meal we still find some organizations,
"would-be Ladies' Aids" still persist
ing in serving refreshments at their
meetings when our allies ana our sol.
diers need every ounce Of food that
we can save for them and will be
needed In the hard, long, cold winter
to come. Please stop and consider and
see il we cannot do without this one
little luxury.
Mr.. Deems, however, has come to our
rescue somewhat in the last month
and tells us we can have ice cream
and it will not be conflicting with our
fourth meal at all as long as we eat
ice cream alone and serve no other
foods Of any sort with 1t we will not
be violating our duty. This Is done in
order to encourage the dairy industry
and bring about wider use of milk
and cream products. Remember, how
ever, that this does not apply to ices
or sherbets, mainly ice cream.

Removal OF Ban win Give Employ
ment To Thousands OF
Men

All government restrictions on con-

removed. according to an official COM
munication from the United States
War Industries Board received and
announced yesterday by Gen. Francis
A. Waters. chairman of the executive
committee of the Maryland Council of
Defense.
Commenting on the matter General
Waters said this would indicate that
the United States Railroad Admins
tration is ready to assure rapid move
ment of building materials for inn
provements. He regarded it also as a
wonderful help in the labor situation
guaranteeing continued employment
for the thousands of men who have
been engaged in the manufacture OF
war munitions. There is great need
in Baltimore for more dwelling houses,
etc" declared Gen. Waters, and there
is now no reason why the great work
of expansion and improvement should
not start in vigorously at once"
