is CHARLES TOWN SATISFIED.


The Evidence is Convincing. The
Testimony Open to Investigation.
Before a statement can be accep-
ted here, it must be supported by loo
al testimony-by the evidence of
someone residing in Charles Town.
Statements from unknown people in
remote places may be true, but we
cannot prove them. Here is a state
ment by Charles Town resident.
c. E. Reininger, Taylor, 206 N.
George street, gave the following
statement in May, 1913: "At my
work | have to sit in one position and
is hard on the back and kidneys. My
kidneys became irregular in action
and my feet swelled. could hardly
put on my shoes and it hurt me to
walk. l had pains in my back that
were so severe | had to keep my
hands over my hips for relief. The
first box of Doan's Kidney Pills stop
ped the pains, reduced the swellings
and made my kidneys normal"
STEADFAST CONFIDENCE
On December 10, 1916, Mr.. Rein
niger said 81 have had but very
little trouble with my kidneys in the
last few years, but, at times, have
found it necessary to use Doan's Kid
ney Pills. | have always received
good results"
Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same

BELL telephone WORKER
STRONG FOR WENTWORTH.

Wentworth is rapidly winning
golden opinions from all sorts of suf-
ferers, as the rising tide of signed
endorsements clearly proves. Here
is one of convincing kind:
"For two months last summer,
had a complete nervous breakdown.
My stomach, bowels and digestive or
gans were in bad shape. Had to be
taking physics all the time. Got but
little sleep and no rest and was all
worn out in the morning. My appe-
tite was bad and / did not enjoy what
little did eat. l bloated badly from
gas forming on my stomach.
81 prchased two bottles of Nerv-
Worth from E. C. Shepherd, the Mar
tinsburg, w. Va, druggist, and want
to say that after taking them ALL
THESE TROUBLES HAVE DIS
APPEARED. No more nervousness,

and Frank NJ. sutphen, q well known
trombonist OF Columbus, was secured
az director OF the 100 musicians, who
are contributing their time and talent
to making a success of the Centenary
Trombone Choir.
A greater problem lay In what to
play, for no music had ever been
written for trombone choir of 100
players. It had to be specially pre-
pared. Nationally known composers
are now at work arranging such sa-
cred and semi-sacred selections as
the Soldiers Chorus" from Faust,
Holy City" "Hallelujah Chorus" and
Onward Christian Soldiers" for the
huge choir.
The Centenary Choir Is composed
Of IL soprano trombones. 18 altos, 40
tenors, Is baritones and IL bass from
bones. These 100 instruments are
arranged to form six separate choirs.
each a musical unit in itself. At the
extreme right OF each bank, or choir,
come two soprano trombones no
larger than comets. These instru-
ments are made to order. Next come
three altos, then two first tenors, and

0NE hundred trombones, modified
for the Methodist Centenary
Celebration In Columbus, Ohio. June
10 to July 7. will pour forth the har-
mony OF "Hallelujah Chorus" and
Holy City, in the huge Coliseum
where the musical features OF the
celebration will be held.
One hundred trombones-some SO
large and some so small that they
must be made to order-wiE blend
their music In the largest, and, so
far as is known, ths only choir OF its
kind In the world.
Being absolutely new ard unique,
the trombone choir has presented any
number OF difficulties to its organ
ixers. the Centenary Celebration COM
mittee- In the first place. they must
md 100 trombone players within rea-
sona5le distance of Columbus. They
solved this problem by mobilizing all
the professional players, and complet-
ing the organization with talented
amateurs. Anthony RrpperS5urg was
made business manager Of the choir.
