Speech of Lieut.. Gov.
W. ". Mcdowell

Another Milepost," was til
timely theme of LieutenaI
Governor w. w. Mcdowell in
stirring address given tat a bi
celebration in Glendive on Jul
4th. His speech is given here:
To-day we stand abreast G
another milepost in the life G
our glorious Republic. Sine,
last we foregathered in our sc
veral community celebrations
for the observance of the nata
day of the Nation, happening
of tremendous moment hav,
been written into the pages O.
our history. A year ago Ameri
ca had just %struck her stride
as participant in the struggle
that for more than four years
threatened the very existence
of the people of the earth.
1--WE, the youngest combat
ant, were properly and reason
ably deliberative, but when the
time was ripe and the hour of
our destiny had struck, our sold
iers sprang eagerly to the fray,
conscious of the eternal right
ness of our position and the
abiding justice of our cause.
With a celebrity that will always
remain a marvel to most of us,
our country raised her army of
millions, and was sending them
over the seas at the rate of a
quarter of a million or more a
month. So nightly had the
nation speeded up, in the my
Rad activities connected with
the waging of campaign of
battle, that our accomplishment
on the field, and in the camp,
took on something of the super
human.
Show the World.
Our enemies had been frank |
ly skeptical; even more, they |
were often contemptuous about
our actual participation in a
conflict, thousands of miles
from our shores. But a year ago
they were in a position which
admitted of no doubt, and there
is no questioning the assertion,
that they then knew that the
die was cast; that, prolong the
war by whatever device and re-
source they might, there would
and could be only one issue,
since America had cast her lot
with the civilized of the earth.
Defeat was written large for
them, and a few months later,
to Withstand the on
slaughts of the allies, who were
freshened and strengthened
by the vigor of this
Young America, they were fore
I'd to sig nthe armistic and the
lighting ceased.

CORROBoRATION
Of Interest To Norwich Readers

For months Norwich citizens have seen in these columns enthusiastic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by Nor wich residents. Would these promi- nent people recommend a remedy that had not proven reliable? Would they confirm their statements after years had elapsed if personal experience had not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement? The following state ment should carry conviction to the mind of every Norwich reader.
 Daniel J. Brown, proprietor repair shop, Summer Street says: q bought Doan's Kidney Pills at Sevin & Sons Drug Store and they did such good work when I needed them that am glad to recommend them. Doan's regulated and strengthened my kid neys, relieving me of all the ailments caused by kidney disorder
 The above statement was given August 2s, 1908, and on May IS, 1916 MT. Brown said: 'I have had no oc- casion to use Doan's Kidney Pills since I recommended them in 1908. The cure they gave me has been per- manent."
