Who Tells Her Experience.
All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural to their
sex. They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches. dizzy
spells and that tired, depressed feel
ing. Thousands have found new
health and strength by helping the
weakened kidneys with Doan's Pills
Ia stimulant diuretic. This Charles
Town case is one of many:
Mrs. Emma Weller. 112 w. Liber-
ty ST., says: eve are hardly ever
without Doan's Pills in the house.
They have never failed to help me
whenever my kidneys have troubled
me and when nv back has felt weak
and lame. At these times. Doan's
Pills have always given quick results.
gladly recommend them to anyone
for weak kidneys"
Mrs. Weller is only one of many
Charles Town people who have
gratefully endorsed Doan's Pills. If
your back aches--if your kidneys
bother you. don't simply ask for a
kidney remedy-ask distinctly for

Weller had-the remedy backed by

Waldo County
General Hospital
Free from Debt

The mortgage which has been
held on the property of the
Waldo County General Hospital
since 1901, about the time it was
opened, has been cancelled and today
the institution stands clear and free
from debt, a very gratifying bit of
news Tor the many Waldo County
residents, who have long been inter-
ested in its ups and downs, for like
all such institutions, it has had them
Only few years ago it was feared
that its doors would have to be
closed, but when things looked black
est, its friends rallied to it's aid and
never in it's history has the hospital
had a greater prosperity than during
the past four years. Many improve
ments have been made and among
them the installation of a modern
elevator, which has just been COM
pleted and paid for, the bequest of
$4,000 from the late ]. J. Walker of
Lihertyand Boston, taking care of
this and also going to pay the last
installment of the mortgage. Much
of the credit for the hospital pros
perity is due to the Women's Hospi-
tai Club, which has worked early
and late for it's success, earning and
soliciting many hundreds of dollars.
Mrs. Cecil Clay is the president of
the club. Just at present cany citi-
Zens are contributing provisions,
jellies, preserves, ETC., for the annual
donation week. The hospital is very
busy, with practically every bed in
use. Miss Gayle Ryder, r. N, of
Islesboro is the superintendent.

by the reading of the Club Collect.
Mrs. Grace Shepherd gave a very
fine sketch on the life of Alfred
Moves. Mrs. Maude Shepherd read
two of Mr.. Noyes' selections, THE
Highwayman" and Sherwood
which were very much enjoyed. Mrs.
Georgia Y. Palmer gave a review of
the book $50 Big" which was much
enjoyed by those present. At the
regular business session Mrs. Grace
Mcclure was made a members of
the club and it was voted to take
the money formerly used for rental
of club rooms and donate the same
to the fund for a district nurse.

Editorial Comment
New EnaIand's Loearno2
(Boston News Bureau)

(BOStOn News 6uredu)
Worcester might well be called
the Locarno of the New England
states,-the place where was born
last week the New England Confer
ence. This conference purposes TO
wipe out state lines of prejudice and
other adverse factors which might
operate against the advancement OF
New England. just as the Locarno
agreements abroad have created a
genuine understanding among ma
lions of Europe.
The conference itself is an out
growth of the annual conference OF
New EnSland's governors, ana was
formed with a view to attaining a
comprehensive consideration of New
England questions. 1t was primarily
designed to achieve greater co-ordi-
nation of the thought and effort OF
existing organizations. It's object is
ito stimulate concrete expressions In
matters vital to the welfare of New
England to the end that New Eng
land agriculture, commerce, industry
TRANSPORTATION and other public ser
vices may be effectively promoted"
The gathering last week was the
largest and most thoroughly rep
resentative ever assembled for the
purpose of dealing with New Eng
land problems from the standpoint
of common welfare. 1t was in a
sense a business parliament, calling
for craftsmanship in the economic
field. The list of delegates read like
who's Who of New England"
They represented organizations do
ing a combined volume of SS,336, 00O,-
600 of business annually.
Three of New England's problems
were discussed at this session:
power, the basis of our modern
civilization; agriculture, the basis Of
our food supply: and marketing. the
means by which products are con-
verted into cash income.
The chief importance of the Wor-
cester Conference lies in its functions
as q creative body. 1t not only
brought into being the common court
of assembly of New England organ
izations, but also created perman-
emit body through which the will of
the conference will find its ultimate
expression.
Locarno sought to make peace
more of a business with Europe.
Will Worcester make economic
progress more of a conscious. col
lective endeavor in New England?

three long, long minutes that some
thing dreadful had happened to Lit
tie Miss Mousie," and down in his big
easy chair sank tired Uncle Lucky to
fall sound asleep. He forgot all
about his sprained pinkie toe. Yes,
he was relieved to find his tiny
housekeeper's note that he just fell
asleep. But. Oh dear me. He
should have taken off his shoes and
slipped his tired feet into his old
carpet slippers. But he didn't, and
when he woke up, goodness me! how
his sprained pinkie ached.
"Oh, dearest mel" he sighed out
loud, Il wish Little Miss Mousie were

In another minute she had taken
off the shoes and slipped the aching
foot into the comfortable carpet

chair, she gently placed the dear old
gentleman's foot upon it. There,
you'll feel better. Just sit here

A VISION OF BUSINESS AND
20 GOVERNMENT

If anyone, anywhere, better than
President Coolidge, has expressed
the real underlying attitude of the
American mind respecting the re-
1ations that should exist between
government and business we have
not learned Of it. His address to
the representatives of business in
New York. Thursday. has soundness
as distinguished from mere sound,
clarity that should come to the aid
of muddled thinking. He assumes,
and we hope he is not unduIy
optimistic, that those who would
have business run the government
and those who would have govern
ment run the business are dis
credited in this country. That
they. even taken together, represent
q minority Of the thinking people we
would not question, but there are
many people who do not think about
such matters, and the number of
those with personal axes to grind. on
the governmental grindstone while
the taxpayers turn it, are very &C
tive in the work Of propagandizing.
The President sees an effort on
the part of business to correct
abuses. a recognition of service and
a seeking for legitimate profits to
be had therefrom. a comprehension
That privilege in the long run is not
profitable.
We wish the foreign peoples, who
have been cajoled by some of their
leaders with the idea that America
Is avaricious, that it seeks it's pound
Of flesh nearest the heart, might
read what he has to say respecting
our financial condition and the debts
owed to US. His summing up of
what this country has contributed to
the maintenance of the worlds
equilibrium since the war is en-
tightening; his disposal of the theory
that this country grew rich out of
the sufferings Of its neighbors is
convincing.
He alludes in his closing to the
World Court. While careful not to
overrate Its practical possibilities
he estimates the effect upon the
sentiment of the world as of meal
cutaele value, and We believe he
.oess not estimate that yc,,.

Young C0coanuts
For Young SamOans

Pago Pago, Oct. 30 ca. p. by MaiD
Young cocoanuts for young Sa-
means is the advice Of the United
States government to South Sea
mothers unable to secure milk for
their babies.
The use Of cocoanuts for babies is
still an experiment, but so far is
considered successful. Each child is
given the meat of four very young
cocoanuts daily, together with all the
cocoanut milk he can drink.
Child welfare work in Samoa has
been organized so that all villages in
American Samoa are visited at least
once every two weeks. In each vii
lage committee of women has been
appointed. Babies are taken to the
weekly meetings Of this committee.
When baby increases in weight the
mother is praised publicly; when it
loses, the mother Is called to account.
