WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away.

South Paris women know how the
aches and pains that often come when
the kidneys fail make life burden.
Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles, are
frequent indications of weak kidneys
and should be checked in time. Doan's
Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only.
They attack kidney diseases by striking
at the cause. Here's proof of their
merit in South Paris woman's words
Mrs. L. W. Hollis, Church Street,
South Paris, says: 1.-THE first symptom
of kidney disorder I noticed was dull,
heavy ache across my kidneys. These
attacks became very frequent and
suffered terribly. At times felt lam
guild and depressed and was subject to
dizzy spells. Realizing my kidneys
were weakened I got box OF Doan's
Kidney Pills from the Howard Drug Co.
As used them my kidneys became
stronger, the pains In my back gradually
lessened and my health became much
better. After that ! used Doan's of and
on as / needed them and they never
failed to promptly relieve me-"

Provide Shade Trees.

There is much to be said in favor Of
the movement to increase planting OF
shade trees along highways and even on
the streets in small towns and cities.
A few years ago the Massachusetts, for
estry association sent out QUESTIONABLE
to learn how much full-grown shade
tree enhances the value of 80 foot lot.
The answers showed range in Increased
value from 10 to 100 per cent with an
average of 40 per cent. This fits in with
the general rule used by tree men for
the approximate valuation OF Q shade
tree. This rule states: "a healthy
shade tree properly located is worth 81
per square inch of the cross section
measured at breast height" That is, Q
shade tree one foot in diameter at breast
height has cross section of 113 square
inches, and is worth s113. The average
farmer may question such high valua-
tion, but this rule is to apply more In
towns and cities than in rural districts.
On the other hand, there is no question
about the desirable value OF shade trees
we'll located about homes or on high.
ways. In New Bedford, Mass, some
thing like 1000 shade trees have been
planted on the city streets since 1912.
This means that approximately 20 miles
of streets have been adorned with fine
young trees. Forestry enthusiasts fg-
ure that within % years this will mean
an increased valuation to New Bedford
of over one million dollars.

Advertise Dairy Products.

The total consumption in the United
States annually per capita is: OF milk
81. .92, of candy aud soft drinks $3.50, of
liquor $32. For New York city the
figures are: Milk for table use 80 cents,
bread &c. 90, for meat $27, for eggs % "a,
for canned goods s23. In spite of the
fact that milk at prevailing prices 10 the
cheapest food obtainable, We find the
consuming public pinching down tho
per capita consumption and spending
many times the value for more costly
food products. The advertising cam
paign of dairy products, now just get
ting started, is long overdue. Collective
bargaining has done much for the dairy
industry, but the right kind OF sdvertis-
Ing will do even more. The p0ssibtli.
ties of enlarging the Industry are very
large. Push the good work forward.

Use Salt In the Dairy Ration.

Mineral matter in the ration of dairy
COWS has not received much expert
mental attention, but the value OF COM

An animal gets mineral from two
principal sources, namely: From water
and from food. The leaves of plants are
especially rich in minerals, and so is the
outer layer of seeds, but these do not
supply enough common salt and for
heavy producing COWS usually not
enough lime and phosphorus. These
latter can be supplied by the use of bone
meal or ground limestone and rock phos-
phate. These given to milk producing
animals at the rate of from one-third to
two-thirds ounces per day should prove
beneficial when COWS are producing 20
pounds of milk or more.

The Unreturnlns Brave.

(By Llewellyn A. Wadsworth, read at Hiram
Maine, on Memorial Day, 19l9)
o. Women Of France, In your sorrowful hours,
Far down In the coming years,
On the graves Of our dead place fragrant flowers
And water them with your tears.
o. Lilies Of France, droop low tonight,
And nnger, 70 clouds, to weep.
Pale Moon, send down your silver light,
Where our fallen heroes sleep.
Flag Of the Free, trail low in the breeze,
And salute the true and brave,
Cast your golden leaves. ye forest trees,
In garlands on each grave.
And long above each soldiers tomb,
Where press no tyrant's feet,
The Flower Of Liberty shall bloom,
With fragrance pure and sweet.
Many maiden's hidden tears,
And blushing, downcast glance,
Tell what they lost. in the weary years,
On the blood. stained fields Of France.
o, stricken hearts that grieve tonight
For your brave boys who have gone,
In the realms Of Light, still for the Right
Their souls are marching on.
They have made their mark upon the age,
And as Time glides swiftly on,
Their names shall gleam on History 9 page,
When ten thousand years have gone.

the st. Croix, five miles from Eastport,
was unusually impressive. The custom.
ary program had as an additional feature
the presence of the returned Indian
soldiers, giving the services at the ceme-

service In the army or navy and seven of

"Old Glory"

Here's to dear "Old Glory"
Our hearts are thrilled anew,
As We watch 1t hoat on the breezes,
Our own red, white and blue.
Our gorgeous star.spangled embleml
From every home In the land
Its beautiful folds are floating
With It's sentiments noble and grandi
Il stands for our own loved country,
The nag that made Us free,
Neither the rich nor the poor may claim 1t,
1t belongs to you and me.
When foreign foe assailed ms
And danger lurked over al,
Millions of brave young soldiers
Answered their country's call.
Right well they loved their country,
To "Old Glory" ever true,
Manv passed to their elumbers eternal
In the folds Of the red, white and blue.
There are hundreds of nags in this great world
Of ours,
Flags Of many and many hue,
But we love "Old Glory" the best of them all,
For It's our own red, white and blue.
From ocean to ocean it's waving,
The symbol of freedom and right,
Well live for 1t, fight for 1t, die FOR It,
As long a. the day follows night
