For How Long !?
CHARLES TOWN RAISES A PEI
TINENT Question:

TlNENI QUESlION.
When a neighbor tells US that he
has recovered from a serious illness,
the first question that naturally arises
is How long will he keep well 2"
Temporary relief is one thing, but a
lasting cure is altogether different.
There is nothing temporary about the
work of Doan's Kidney Pills as the
following evidence proves beyond a
doubt.
E. NJ. Jones, florist, 503 w. Wash
ington St., Charles Town, gave the
following statement in February. 1909
81 had pain across my back and SUI
fered for about two years. The trou-
bic grew worse whenever cold wealth
er came on. / could hardly bend over
and when / did, / had to do it slowly.
Often my back ached constantly and
made me miserable. had tried so
many different remedies that when
Doan's Kidney Pills were recommend
ed, | didn't have much faith in them
One box of them, however, which
got at Brown & Hooff's Drug Store
soon helped me and two boxes cured
me-"
LASTING BENEFIT.
Over seven years later, or on De-
cember Is, 1916, Mr.. Jones said;
II consider the cure Doan's Kidney
Pills made for me a permanent one
| haven had any trouble from my
kidneys for years"
Price Coo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Jones had. Foster Milburr

The funeral of Mrs. Margaret Vir
ginia Custer, widow of the late Ran
dolph Custer, was held at her home
near Summit Point Sunday July 7th,
at 2 D. m. Services We're conducted
by Rev. George w. Whiteside, of Bal
timore, Md, assisted by Rev. Mr..
Thomas, of the Baptist church at
Summit Point, of which she was a.
member. Text from Rev. 22:5..
"And there shall be no night there"
Heaven will be to us CHEEKY and
blessed home, the fondest resting place
of the soul, the dear center of all its
joys. We are told there are walls of
precious stones and streets pared with
gold. There is the crystal sea and the
river of life, and the trees bearing all
manner of fruit And there is the
throne and the rainbow, and the sound
of trumpets, the crowns, the psalmes
and the harps. We think Of green
fields and musical waters. We think
of soft pleasant shades beneath which
the weary may rest. We think of
temple grander than all the temples of
earth, who's arches ever echo with the
song of the redeemed. Such thoughts
and hopes serve to console US in hours
of anguish and bereavement. We
have nothing but broad and general
declarations to lead us in our refiec-
tions. We know that the believing
and emancipated soul has entered into
rest, has gone to be with Christ, is an
occupant of the house not made with
hands. Oh! how could heaven really
be heaven, if this yearning Of our
hearts denied US, and if we could never
reconize again the pure and lovely,
and good, who shone here in the i'm
age of Jesus, and who were folded
together with US in the same Shep-
herds arms. The deceased was born
January 23rd, 1886 and reared in this
county, daughter of John and Lydia
A. Rowland and was connected with
many of the old and well known fam
lilies of the Valley. She retained a
bright recollection of the many his
torical incidents which surrounded her
| life even back to childhood days. She
will ever be remembered as a true
neighbor and friend and as loving
and devoted mother.
Surviving are six daughters, Mrs. @.
| L. Beck, Cambridge, Ohio; Mrs. VIM.
Rowland, Kansas City, Kansas; Mrs.J.
w. Mann and Mrs. Michal Bowers,
Brunswick, Nd, and Miss Jennie and
Viola at home. Three sons Lafayette
R., Charles A., and Garland p, of this
county, besides one sister, Mrs. G w.
Brady of Summit Points, land one broth
er, Mr.. Samuel T. Rowland, residing
at Donna, Tex.

NO PEACE NEWS
 LINE DOWN AGAIN

As the result of break in the telegraph line between Wortman's and Valdez today, no news of the Outside world has been received by the Nenana News, and on inquiry at the office of the Signal Corps the further discouraging news is gleaned that the necessary repairs will not probably be effected until tomorrow.
 Severe snowstorms are reported to be prevalent in the coast section and the snowfall exceptionally heavy and deep in the section of the country where the break in the line has dccurred.
 The operator at Wortman's with a repair party started out this morn ing to repair the damage, but owing to the deep snow and the prevailing storm, was unable to make the re- lief cabin between Wortman's and the next roadhouse and were com pelled to return to their station. No messages have been received over the Canadian line, and it is thought that it is acting as before, and has also gone out of commis- sion, as usual.
 The break in the line at this juncture is particularly unfortunate as important and vital news regard ing the armistice with Germany was expected momentarily. Efforts are now being made to relay the news through until the break in the line has been mended.

RAILS EXTEND
 BEYOND LYNN'S
 COAL MINE NOW

Station No. 18056 had been reach ed by the men of the steel gang under Foreman Thomas K. Blakey at quitting time yesterday, which means that approximately 2,2O0 feet of steel has been laid beyond the Lynn coal mine, which is at Station No. 1sO7s.
 The end of steel last night was within about mile and a half of the A. E. c. store at 35-mile, and it is expected that this distance will be covered by Sunday.
 The engineering party under Resi- dent Engineer Howard G. Haslem is encamped here in temporary struc- lures; the A. E. c. warehouse is a large permanent log cabin which will probably be used for a short time longer as a temporary supply depot All of the work on Resi- dency will soon be finished, and it is quite likely that the engineering party will be stationed at a resi- dency farther along the line.

OlOT|MER DEAD
 AT HOT SPRINGS

According to advices received from Fairbanks this afternoon, Robert Jackson, a we'll known sour dough of Hot Springs, who suddenly disappeared from the town and his usual haunts some time ago, was found by a search party sent out to look for him.
 The message did not state just where he was found, but it is pre- sumed it was in cabin in the neighborhood. He was found by the search party at about midnight on the 9th, and appeared to be very i'll. He was brought to town and received every possible attention, but it was of no avail, and he died at II o'clock last night.
 Pneumonia is said to have been the cause of death.

CARS ARE READY
 FOR LYNN COAL

Four of the new Roger ballest cars which had been used for some time past to haul cordwood to town were sent, a few days ago, to the siding near the dragline camp and are being held there in readiness to be sent to the Lynn coal mine for a supply of the coal.
 There is no siding or spur track at Lynn's mine and consequently the cars cannot be held on the main line as they would block the way and hamper the movements of the work trains. The siding on which they are now held is approximately ten miles or so from the Lynn coal mine, and as soon as Billy Lynn has a sufficient quantity of coal to load onto the cars and has his coal shute all ready for action, the cars will be hauled to the mine in a very little time and loaded up to be hauled to town.
 Superintendent Packer stated that the first coal cars may be expected in town by Saturday, where every thing is in readiness for it's imme- diate receipt and use.

CARD PARTY TONIGHT
 AT THE NANANA CLUB

Another of those enjoyable Fri day evening card parties will be held at the Nenana Club rooms to- night and the members are requested to be in attendance and bring their lady friends along.
 The parties are intended for mem bers of the club and their lady friends only and have been gotten up for the purpose of affording recreation and giving the people of Nenana an opportunity to get to- gether, during the long dark winter nights.
 When these parties were first talked about it was the intention of the club members to have auction bridge games only, but in view of the fact that there are many among the members and their lady friends who would prefer to play other games, solo, whist and poker were added to the list of card game: to be played.
 These gatherings take place ever!
 Friday night and are very mucf

WILL
 HAUL IHt MAIL

MT. Blankfield, the we'll known expressman, announces that he is willing to help in the quarantine measures and that he will haul, free of cost, any mail arriving for Ne mana over the Fairbanks trail, from the place chosen for it's disinfection to town, provided the distance to be hauled is not more than three miles.
 It is certain that MT. Blankfeld's s generous offer of help will be very gladly received by the officials in charge of the quarantine arrange ments.
