ALL OUT OF SORTS?
S0Was This Focomoke City Woman
Who Tells Her Experience.

All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural TO their
eek. 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 POGO
moke City case is one of many:
Mrs. C. L. Thompson, TIA Clarke
Ave-, says: my back became lame
and achy and at times sharp pains
cut into my kidneys that made it a
task for me to get about to do my
work. Headaches and dizzy spells al.
so annoyed me and spots blurred my
sight. My kidneys acted irregularly,
so started using Doan's Pills bought
at Clarke & Co.'S Drug Store, and
they soon rid me Of the backache and
other symptoms of kidney trouble"

Wind Brings Cold Into
House; Close Cracks

Wind velocity, experimenters have
found. has as great an effect on house
heating as does temperature, and that.
roughly speaking, one mile of addi-
tional wind velocity an hour has the
same effect as one degree lower tenn
perature. To combat this builders
suggest that weather strips on win
dows and doors prevent losses due to
the necessary cracks around these
openings. Improvement at small cost
of caves and in attic spaces to pre-
vent wind losses is also recommended.
Smaller fuel bills, it is pointed out,
and smaller heating plants pay for the
slight additional cost of construction.

have it on good authority that he

A sample OF his knowledge of hui

valuable as teacher Is given in this
little incident which occurred at the
Nice club a number of years ago.
Heloise Beebe, well known locally and
in Baltimore. where she is one of the
ranking stars. was just beginning her
tennis career. She was playing the
then champion of the Nice club In a
handicap tourney. Pere Lenglen was
an interested onlooker. The cham,

They debated the subject last night

Mr. Wheeler replied that like a
lawyer whose case is bad, Senator Ed

CHURCH COUNCIL CUTS
$2OO,44O FROM ITS FUND
National Episcopal Body Reduces
Years Program Due to Shortage
in Budget Pledges.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. February 26.-The
National Council OF the Episcopal
Churches was forced yesterday to cut
$2O0,440 from the general program
for this year because Of the failure
of some dioceses to meet their full
quotas for the general church budget
Of $4.212.350.
Missionary activity especially will
suffer from the failure to raise the
budget, since $32.917 was cut from
the appropriations for missionary
work in China. Japan, the Philip
pines, the West Indies and Alaska,
and $48.935 from the allotment for
the missionary districts Of CONT
mental United States.
Other reductions included $34,260
in headquarters work: $751; in APP
propriations for the Brotherhood of
st. Andrew, the church mission help
and other cooperating agencies: $l0,-
900 in the appropriation for the
American Church Institute for Ne
groes, which maintains IL industrial
schools for negroes In the South;
$13. 900 in miscellaneous work under
way in the various dioceses and &c..
900 from appropriations to church
colleges.
Although the quotas Of all the do
ceses weren OF met, the amount
which they will pay is $4,000 great
er than any amount previously re-
ceived for national church work.
