ments of people residing in far away
places do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such tes-
timony 10 convincing. Investigation
proves it true. Below is a statement
of Glenwood Springs resident No
stronger proof of merit can be had.

er avenue, says: "My kidneys began
to trouble me and my back was sore.
Ny work requires sitting in one posi-
tlon for hours at time. That mada
my back more painful and it was hard
Tor me to straighten. l bought Doau's
Kidney Pills and was but short tins
before 1 felt well again. l take a few
of Doan 9 occasionally and they keep
my kidneys and back in good shape"

HUN A|RMAN TURNS
GUN ON HELPLESS
Falling to His Death, MaIevoIent
German Shoots Women
and Children.

The desperate malevolence of Ger
tried to "go west in style" by taking
with him as many women and children
as he could is graphically described
by Mrs. Laura Forest of the American
fund for French wounded in letter
from Epernay, where she had taken
part In the evacuation of hospital
before the German advance and wit
messed the fall of the Hun plane. The
letter tells how the Boche even after
he had fallen deliberately continued
to fire upon nOncombatant spectators.
Mrs. Forests letter follows:
ut was just after breakfast on Sun
day when the guns announced the ap-
proach of an enemy plane and we
crowded around the doors of our no.
tel and watched what we thought was
the successful carrying out of dan
gerous move, the sudden dropping
down Of the plane through the area of
bursting shells and out of the reach
Of the guns. Right over the building
he came, raking the street with ma
chine-gun flre-and then came such
burst of JOY from the thrOats OF the
people as is seldom heard: II est
tombe! II est tombe' (He has fallen.)
"When I found myself I was run

children Of Epernay, and with them I
kept on running till the fallen plane
was in sight. Wounded as the avia-

the crowd and fired killing a woman
and child. And still we ran on and
found him and only the arrival of
motor with the police let him live az
long as he did. He died within a few
hours. The second man. was buried
under the machine and the crowd was
well dispersed before he was brought
out, badly wounded, and carried away.

An excessive secretion from the nostrils is
an unsightly misery. A breath tainted with
the odor Of catarrh is an offense against all
health and decency. A stomach filled with
droppings from diseased nasal cavities may
cause untold misery, and ruins the complexion.

indicates body literally reeking with ca
tarrh, causing pimples, blotches and other skin

The blood, swarming with millions Of ca
