curfcw Has Worked Wal.

In the Middle ages a bell was rung
as signal for fires to be covered up
for the night and consequently for the
people to so to bed. The word curfew
is derived from the French words,
couvrir, to cover, and feu, fire. In the
United States curfew has been
sounded 10 warn young people to be

DANGERS OF A COLD.

Them.

Them.
Many bad cases of kidney trouble re-
suit from a cold or chill Congested kid
neys fall behind in filtering the poison
laden blood and backache, headache, dir
illness and disordered kidney action fol-
low. Don't neglect a cold. Use Doan's
Kidney Pills at the first sign of kidney
trouble. Follow this Brattleboro resi-
dents example:
Mrs Milo Moon, 204 Elliot St., says:
''Doan's Kidney Pills are a great medi-
cine / used them several years ago
when I was in a very bad condition with
my back and kidneys, which was due to
bad cold that had settled on my kid
neys. / was troubled with weak and
lame back. i also had severe headaches
and dizzy spells and my kidneys were
very weak and irregular in action |
heard of DOan's Kidney Pills and got
couple boxes. In a short time they rid
me of the trouble and / have never been
bothered to this day. 1 am glad to say
word in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs Moon
had. Foster Milburn Co, Mfrs, Buffalo.

A NEW KIND OF RESTAURANT.
You Can Order What You Like from the
Shelves

Shelves.
A new kind of eating place is springing
up in New York which. for informality,
surpasses the cafeteria. A newspaper
writer tells about it. 1t has developed
out of the delicateSsen store thus: \
mid-Br0adway delicatesSener Knocked out
the back of his shop. put in tables and
chairs and started with special turkey
sandwich at 40 cents. 1t also contained
cold slaw, Russian dressing. a slice of
fresh onion and dash of condiments.
Hot drinks We're served. as well as cold.
No delicatessen store is now complete
without an ''eat-it-on-the-spot' section.
You can have anything that is canned
taken from the shelves, opened, warmed
and placed before you. Guests in hurry
stand about with a snack in one hand and
a cup or tumbler in the other. Sunday
evenings and most other evenings the
places are crowded with people from the
nearby apartment houses who are weary
of their kitchenettes.
We fancy we fathom the charm of this
mode of refFeShment 1t is the SAVIOR of
the well-remembered adventure of break
ing into the pantry after church, concert
or theatre, that used to appeal to our ell
ders and to some of us who may be num-
bered among them.
1t has the joy of exploration which
used to be rewarded by discovery of the
doughnuts in the earthen jar. the pump
kin half pie under the turned-over plate,
the remains of the lobster. last weeks
cookies and even the cold boiled potatoes
literally sailed and reinforced from the
pickle jar. The impromptu is always
fetching; and to pick and choose in a
whole delicatessen store full of novelties
is as fascinating as being turned loose
ina California orange grove and enioined
to ''eat your way out."-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

suffered terribly. l have tried many remedies
and doctors, but no cure. About eight weeks

ointment, that is worth hundred dollars or

QUESTION DATE or
ROAD LAW FORCE
Difference OF Opinion Arises
On Terms Of Law.

A misunderstanding has developed
in regard to the Interpretation Of
the good roads law and of new regu-
lations that have been issued by the
state road department. ] is claim
cd by operators OF bus lines that
the law providiny that permits
should be issued to commercial We
hjcles will not be in effect until De
iember 81, while traction company
officials in the northern part of the
state claim that the law went int
effect May 2. The state road com
mission has ruled that bus line
must have permits on and after Au-
gust 9.
The question Is whether the regu-
lations supersede the provisions of
section SO of the good road law, or
whether this section is annulled by
the provision that makes the law ef-
fective from passage.
Section SO of the law reads: "The
provisions Of this act, relating to
the licensing of vehicles, operators,
chauffeurs, dealers and others, shall
90 into effect at midnight, December
81, 1921; provided that the commits
sion shall have authority to issue
such licenses for the year 1922 after
October 81, 1921.
Section 80 provides that all cora

ed that this section became effcs
