RENEWED TESTIMONY

No one in Manchester who suffers
backache, headaches, or distressing
urinary ills can afford to ignore this
Manchestre Center mans twice-told
story. 1t is confirmed testimony that
no resident Of this locality can doubt.
James Kennedy, gardener, Manches-
ter Center, gave the following state
ment on June 3, 1911. He said: "For
years my back and kidneys bothered
me. The trouble became so bad at
times | could scarcely stoop or
straighten. Mornings, especially, my
back was lame, stiff and sore and
piercing pains shot through my loins.
My kidneys acted irregularly and the
secretions were unnatural. Doan's
Kidney Pills helped me from the very
first and finally Strengthened me out
in good shape. My back grew strong
and free from pain, my kidneys acted
regularly and my health improved
generally"
On August 2G. 1916, Mr.. Kennedy
said: Il can still say good word for
Doan's Kidney Pills. l get them at
Pratt's Drug Store ard they always

taken in as fares must be kept sepa-
rate from the cash for which they are
sold. The fare when paid n cash is
cents. which also must be kept
separate, and in addition they have
to keep track of the transfers taken
in.
Last Saturday one of the conductors
who quit ended his run at o'clock
in the evening. 1t was IL o'clock be-
fore he got through at the barn. He
said the extra six hours was spent
in making up the days account. He
said his case was not an exceptional
one and unless the company takes
some steps to relieve the conductors

scarcity of conductors in Baltimore
