Skugway People Have Found This

The strain of oyerwork tells an the weakened kidneys. The hurry and worry of business men, the heavy lifting and stopping of work men, the women's household cares, tend to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until they can no longer fil- ter the. poison from the blood and the whole body suffers from the waste that accumulates. Weakened kidneys need quick assistance. Doan's Kidney Pills are especially prepared for weakened kidneys; tired, worn-out baCks-haye proven their merit in thousands of cases.

 The back Of the platform of the hall at the Social Centre was plant ed Co bed of blooming tulips with uumberless buds just ready to burst into bloom. behind these as a back ground. We're the climbing rose bush es. the shrubbeIy some of which was breaking into bloom and a small cheery tree in full bloom. al the front of the platform was another bed of pink and white tulips many of them in full bloom. on either side ot the hall were three trees, with half open leaves and partly blossoming. One could almost smell the fragrance ot the cherry and apple blossoms and the blooming tulip tree. At the rear was a fairy bower in which sat lit- tie white robbed fairy dispensing lit tie buque,s 10 those who desired fay- ors, and many sought them.
 When the guests had assembled. of whom there were more than d hund- red the program was announced by Mrs. Wiuterbcrgcr. tine President of the club.
 The president spoke a few words in appreciation of the exceptional work done by Mrs. George Dedman, as chairman of the decorative com mittee in preparing the hall and de- signing the character of the decora- tion carried on, for the evening. Nothing just like it has ever been presented in. Skagwuy and the guests were of unanimous opinion that it was splendid success Mrs. Win terberger also enlarged upon tho fact that tEc men of Skagway have wives tho like of whom cannot be found. travel as far as one may.

My word alone for this must stand; But other things this club has done Speak for themselves; I'll mention
 one.

But now, in justice, let me tell One reason We have done so well; Tho We insist our club is strong, Much outside talent helped along.

HARD CONTEST
EXPECTED HERE

morrow Night

team held e stiff practice session I'M
der the direction of Coach Rufus

the Yorkville Separates of the 92nd
street Y. NJ. H. A. Manager Levine's
contest this week mas been moved
up to Wednesday night due to the
fact that Thursday is Thanksgiving
day.
Stellar playing by the locals was
entirely responsible for their victor
les over the crack rival team of the
eGnd street Y. M. H. A. and the
Athens Big Five in the games play
ed to date. Many fans are of h
belief that the Y. VI. H. A. quintet
was stacked against a better outfit
in both contests, and inasmuch as
the Separates are rated as a better
team than either of the opponents
of the association team in the former
contests, the locals will have to travel
at a rapid pace tomorrow night to
continue their string of wins.
The Separates are expected 10 ap-
pear here with /. Fein and Nj. Rapp,
forwards; Joe DAVIS. center, and o
Adler and Jack Davis, guards. Rapp
and Jack Davis starred here in a
came last year. Joe Davis and Adj
Ter starred on the Commerce and
Clinton High School teams. while l..
F'ein has also had considerable ex-
perience on the court. The Separ-
ates have won all four games played
to date this season.
