Now, that the population of Westmin
ster has greatly increased and will in
crease still more, thc railroad officials
ought to build us a nico passenger depot.
Westminster has felt tho need of it a
long time. A strong petition from thc
citizens of tho town has been forwarded
to Superintendent Vaughan asking for
favors in that respect.
At tho recent meeting of tho stock
holders of the Peden A Anderson Hank

Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it ls not uncommon

urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child

thc difficulty is kidney trouble, and thc first

these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as

Women as well as men are made mis
