RESULTS THAT LAST!
Proven by Ellsworth People.

Thousands of kidney sufferers
have tried remedy after remedy with
only temporary benefit. That's
mighty discouraging! But one kid
ney remedy has earned a reputation
for lasting results and there's plenty
of proof right here in Ellsworth.
Read the experience Of one who
used Doan's Pills years ago and now
makes his endorsement even
stronger.

attacks of backache and my kidneys
acted irregularly. | used Doan's
Pills and the trouble disappeared,
A few years later, Mr.. Campbell
said: Since Doans cured me | have
Mt had a sign of the old complaint. y
Mr.. Campbell is only one of many
Ellsworth people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Pills. If your back
aches or if your kidneys bother you,
don't simply ask for a kidney remedy

No holiday in all our calendar is com

no battle, no fall of Bastile, no bank

of the common people who have
worked all the year, and now thank
God humbly for good harvests. We are

Hell i'm the Making.

The newly-approinted pastor of a
negro church arose to deliver his
sermon on this burning question: rs
There Hell?'
Brethren" he said, de Lord
made the world round like ball"
"Amen!" agreed the congregation.
and de Lord made two axles for
de world to go round on, and he put
one axle at the north pole and one
axle at the souf pole"
"Anen!" cried the congregation.
"And the Lord put lot of oil and
grease in de center of de world so as
to keep the axles well creased and
oiled
"Amen!' said the congregation.
And then a lot of sinners dig
wells in Pennsylvania and steal de
Lords oil and grease. And they dig
wells in Kentucky, Louisiana,
Oklahoma and Texas, and in Mexico
and Russia, and steal the Lords oil
and grease.
And some day dey will have all
of de Lords oil and grease, and dem
aXles is gonna git hot. And den, dat
will be hell, bredren, dat will be
hell. "-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Farmers and, cooperative extern
sion workers held over 245,000
demonstration meetings during 1923
in connection with their efforts to
obtain the adoption of better farming
and home-making practices. At
these meetings either the method of
performing an improved practice,
such as mixing spray materials or
culling poultry, was shown by per-
son trained in the practice or those
attending the meeting studied. the
commencement or results of a prac-
tice involving longer period of
time, such as corn culture or child
feeding, carried on by person in the
community under the direction of the
county extension worker. The at
tendance at these meetings, accord
ing to reports to the United States
Department of Agriculture, was more

The Country Newspaper.

Dorchester Post and Record)
Many country town business men
feel rather sore about the amount of
trade which in many places leaves
the home store and goes to more or
less distant cities. Yet if they would
use the same principles of advertis
ing as the result of which these big
city stores develop a great trade, they
would go elsewhere for lot of stuff.
Human nature is about the same
everywhere. If the big city stores
have gone on to their wealth and
marvellous expansion through ad-
vertising, it is not likely that adj
vertising will fail to help the coun-
try town merchant. If the people OF
a town or neighborhood are failing
to support the home stores as they
should, the trouble is as likely to be
with the merchants as with the
people Very likely some of them
are not showing the enterprise they
ought to in the matter of advertising.
Every page and column of the
home newspaper is thoroughly
scanned, People do not want to miss
a single thing that has happened in
their own neighborhood. Where a
big city newspaper is hastily
skinned, and only a small part OF
the matter can be noted because of
the enormous size of the publication,
the home paper is not so big but that
it can be thoroughly studied. AS
consequence, wherever the merchant
puts his notice, it is bound to be read
for two reasons: First, because it is
next to interesting news second, be-
cause the people are just as much in
terested in the things that their
home stores are doing as in the
things that the local societies or peo-
pie are up to.
When people read the advertise
ment of a store it won't be long be-
fore they will call to see what the
stuff looks like.
The town where the merchants
show enterprise and push in the
matter of newspaper advertising is
apt to be the same town where the
stores have good success in holding
the home trade.

\ THANKSGIVING THOUGHT.


Barns bursting with hay at eighteen
dollars a ton, cribs grooming with corn
at a dollar twelve. and bins heaped
with wheat that brings n dollar thirty
three for every golden bushel, these
are the gifts of l924-causes surely for
thanksgiving, if happiness We're based
on wealth.
But do you suppose that for all these
evidences of material prosperity we
are any more genuinely happy, any
more truly grateful than We're those
first settlers on our New England coast
who fell down on their kneec in graft
tude for the bounties of that first har-
vest which meant to them not auto
mobiles or radios or conveniences. but
the bare necessities for the mainte-
nance of life and the assurance of the
privilege of worshipping God in the
way that they deemed right?
Don't you think we sometimes lose
sight of the fact that happiness and
thank fulness are not commodities to
be purchased over the counter, and
that no Rock efeller or Ford with all
his fabulous wealth could buy as much
as shines from the eyes of that young
mother who holds her first-born in her
arms? For happiness does not come
with bank accounts, it is not found in
granaries filled with grain, it lies
rather in the consciousness that no
matter how simple our task or how
mental our work. we are doing it the
best that we know how and that
through our willing service lives are
frightened because we have passed by.
If this Thanksgiving Day we can
come to a fuller understanding of the
things which really count in life, If we
can learn that there is not sufficient
gold in all the world to compensate us
for the loss of our self-respect or for
the sacrifice of those principles of right
on which all true progress must be
based, then we will have established in
our hearts the foundation for a thanks
giving which will endure the whole
year round.
