Through the recommendation of

Doan's Kidney Pills. For some

be induced to try Doan's."
On May "a, 1920, Mr. Couillard
added: Il haven't changed my

The Thimble Club met with Mrs
Elmer Avery Wednesday afternoon.
1t has been suggested that history
of the Congregational church be
written. This would be valuable
and interesting record of the church,
which would include the list of mem
bers from the birth of the church in
1862 down to the present time. 1t
would include those who have given
funds for the perpetual maintenance
of institution, which has been power
for good in this community. 1t would
include biographical sketches of men,
bers, pastors and officers of the
church and society. The material is
at hand, the writer is ready. Let us
hear from the members of this
church Shall the work go on Any
suggestion from resident and nom

organizations will be the result.

PUREBRED FEMALES FAVORED
In Opinion Of Specialists Number Of
Purebreds of Both Sexes Is Rap
idly Increasing.

According to figures announced by
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, live stock owners in the
United States show a tendency toward
purebred female animals as well as
toward purebred sires. In fact, the
uae of well-bred sires appears to in
crease the use of good females. Dur
ing the period October 1, 1919, to
March 81, 1920, the quality Of female
stock kept in herds and flocks headed
by purebred sires, was 1873 per cent
purebred, and rs per cent scrub. The
remaining number were grades Of
crossbreds. Later figures covering the
period October 1, 1919, to December
81, 1920, show that the number of
purebred females kept under CORE
spending conditions had increased to
$50 per cent and scrubs had fallen
to 81.
These figures are based on a knowl.
edge of the breeding Of nearly 100000
head of animals and poultry: In the
opinion of department live stock spe-
cialists, the more general use of pure
breds of both sexes on farms in the
United States is increasing. In about
a year, it appears, the increase in the
use Of purebred females by purebred-
sire users has been at least per cent.

Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have tho Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparations that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example , DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the SUCCESS of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due TO the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
