OH! MY BACK!
Aching Backs Make Life Miserable
For Many Ellsworth People.

1t isn't right to suffer day IN ana
day out with dull, unceasing back
ache. Or be utterly miserable with
sharp stabs of pain whenever you
stoop or lift. But chances are you
will suffer these tormenting aches
and pains as long as your weakened
kidneys are neglected. You may have
headaches, too, spells of dizziness and
urinary disorders. Then use Doan's
Pills-a stimulant diuretic to the kid
neys. Experiences of folks in this
locality prove the merit of Doan's.

LONDON, January 1.-The earnest
speeches and discussions that occu-
pied most of the time of the women
members Of the house of commons at

women are to continue wearing their

her two first colleagues have done. or

The new labor women members de-

Tree Wears Felt Hat

A tree has been discovered that
wears a hat. 1t Is a felt hat and a
good deal remains of it. considering
that from all indications the tree
has been wearing it for the last
twenty five years. In a swamp near
Chatham, n. j., stands the 20-foot
CEDAR that claims the distinction.
The hat circles the trunk of the
cedar "a a height of about five feet
from the ground. The trunk pushes
straight up through the crown of
the hat for Is feet and a pair of
sturdy branches grown out since the
tree impaled the hat are at dis
lance of about foot above 1t.
Despite it's age and weather beat
en- green hue. the hat remains in ex-
cellent condition, and, according to
the opinion of manufacturer, in its
present position will last indefinite
ly. n tee expert, in trying to
ascertain the length of time the hat
had girdled the cedar's four-inch
trunk, made comparisons by use of
a trunk section of similar dimen-
slons. His measurements showed a.
growth of about an eighth of an inch
in the trunk year. from which he
estimated that 1t would take more
than fifty years for the cedar to en-
large sufficiently to break through
the hat and cause il to fall.
The make of hat worn so long by
the cedar is not disclosed.-New
