BLOCKADED.
Every Household In Brattleboro Should
Know How to Resist It.
The back aches because the kidneys
are blockaded.
- Help the kidneys with their work.
The back will ache no more.
Lots of proof that Doan's Kidney
Pills do this.
It's the best proof, for it comeB from
Brattleboro.
Charles G. Endlich, painter, 5 Main
street, Brattleboro, Vt., says: "I know
that Doan's Kidney Pills are an excel
lent remedy as they have been used in
my family with satisfactory results. A
member of the household was troubled
for months with pains through the loins
and headaches. Colds aggravated the
trouble. A friend finally advised a trial
of Doan's Kidney Pills, and a box was
procured at Holden's drug store. They
proved" to be just what was needed and
proved of great benefit in every way."
(Statement given Oct. 12, 1905.)
A Later Endorsement
On July 6, 1911, Mr, Endlich was in
terviewed and he said: "All that I said
in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills some
years ago still holds good. Ton may
continue to publish my testimonial."

that timo on she kept a rooming house,
always earning her own living even
while sho was in the thick of the labor
battle, Rnd constantly making public ad
dresses. ...
It was in tho middle eighties that tne
most active portion of her public career
I began. She ruined the Knights of Labor
and acquired great influence in that or
'ganizatton in Massachusetts. Sho worked
twith the trade unions and identified her
self with every radical social movement
in its beginning. Yet it was in social
ism, when it took organized form, that
'she found her true mission and did her
I greatest work. She was a member of
!tho socialist labor partv, and of one of
the Koston Nationalist elnbs founded un
der the influence of Kit ward Bellamy,
and later joined tho present socialist
party, one of whoso candidates for school
committee sho was for several years.
She was absolutely fearless and her
whole soul was in the cause for which
sho worked, with no thought of personal
ambition. Kvery cause which she took

SOUTH NEWFANE.
Successful Christmas Entertainment.
The Christmas entertainment at the
church Monday evening was pronounced
a success by those who made up the audi
ence tilling the house. The trees, one on
each side of the pulpit, wero handsomely
decorated with festoons of green nnd red
nnd glistening white, also with red and
orange colored bags, resembling great ap
ples and oranges, besides ninny other gay
hangings, which proved to be gifts, when
the trees were stripped of their fruit. The
double choir rendered nn excellent pro
gram of Christmas music, including parts
in which the two choirs sang separately,
responding to each other with fine effect.
The singers were Mr. nnd Mrs. A. V.
Stratton, Mrs. M. A. Bingham. Mr. and
Mrs. Frank K. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Sam
uel H. Morse, Herbert Bingham and Her
bert Pierce. Among the younger people
singing were Misses Grace Stratton, Dorris
Adams, Ruth Packard, Ruby Ingram and
Emma Edwards. Recitations and music
were furnished by the Marlboro Branch
school. All showed good training nnd
spoke plainly enuogb to be heard. This
also was a feature of the dialogue given by
the South Newfane school. The Merry
Side of Christmas, a natural home-like
scene in which Mrs. Erwin H. Metcalf and
Allyn Bruce were the grandmother and
grandfather, the presiding spirits in the
family group. Jjttlc children hung up
their stockings, and Santa Clans appeared,
bringing and distributing gifts. The Sun
day school was especially favored in its
supply of sweets this year. A. N. Sherman
furnished candy for general distribution in
the Sunday school bags. Frank G. Morse
of Chicago remembered the children of the
community with boxes of confectionery,
and Mrs. Willard's class, as for several
years past, gave oranges to all who were
present. Much credit is due to all friends,
both children and grown-ups, who con
tributed so liberally of their time, money
and efforts for the pleasurable success of
the evening.
