Hearing of Doan's Kidney Pills, decided
to try them got supply at Danforths 5

the trouble since
Mrs Sradley gave the above state
ment January s, 1909, and on July %.
1918 she added ''Doan's Kidney Pills
have always proven satisfactory to me
and | gladly recommend them

DUTCH FAT RATION CUT.
Less Than Ounce for each Person and
May be Less.

Washington, August 31.-The fat rat
ION in Holland has been reduced to
slightly less than one ounce avoirdupois
daily for each person, and further re-
duction is in prospect, according TO ad
vices OF the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce. This ration not
only includes butter eaten with bread but
also butter, margarine and other sub
stitutes used III cooking
The production of butter in Holland
is about half Of that Of two years ago
when there was enough for all ordinary
purposes. The Dutch government has
gwen notice that the fat ration may have
TO be cut TO half an ounce before next
Spring. The butter shortage is attributed
to The lack Of fodder, which can not be
Imported.
