UseDoan's Kidney Pills for weak kid neys—the remedy recommended by your friends and neighbors. Mrs. C. Walton, 125 Wilson street. Mount Airy, says: "I suffered some thing Awful from my back and it felt as though it was broken. I couldn't lift anything without sharp pains catching me in my kidneys. When I bent over or sat down for a little while I could hardly stand up. My kidneys acted very irregularly. 1 was so run down and my nerves were in such an awful state that I couldn't stand the least excitment. A few doaes of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Gwyn'sDrug Store, helped me won derfully. After I had finished one box, my back felt as sound as ever and my kidneys acted as they should. ] haven't had any trouble since." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan'a Kidney Pill*—the same that Mrs. Walton had. Koster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Why Constipation Injuries.

Today'* Greensboro New* carried the following article: "Mrs.. R. H. bathem, state chairman of the Wnm an's liberty lun committee, announce* that every county in North Carolina it present has- an organization of the | Woman'* Liberty loan committee ac- j lively at wt.rk in tne interest of the third liberty loan except the follow ing: Davidson, Davie, Macon. Meck lenburk, Surry Swain and Washing ton. Efforts have been made repeat edly to Mcure a chairman in each of these counties and so far these efforts have been unavailing As a last resort the state chairman asks for volunteers for leadership in the seven unorganized counties " Is it possible that Surry County, un like every other in the state, except six, does not posses a woman with enough organizing abality to success fully lead this campaign? I do not think so, and I would be ashamed to say so if 1 did. Is it possible that every woman of such capacity in the County is loaded to the limit in the Red Cross, War Savings, Food Conservation activi ties? The facts say no. Chairman A. V. West says that to his knowledge less than twenty five women in the County are actively engaged in the work of the war saving campaign. Chairman W. G. Sydnor of the Red Cross says that the number of women > who report at the Red Cross work room daily numbers less than half a dozen, and that when the present | quarters becomes crowded, other ar ! rangements will be mnde to accom^ ' mndate the workers. There are only , a few women actively at work in the ■ food saving sampaign. They are 1 busy, certainly they are, hut there < must be at least a few women in the ] county who could take on this work. I Statistics show that the social func ' tions have not been neglected in the I rash. More women in Mount Airy have attended card parties, regular parties, at homes, away-from homes, and social clubs since Christmas than have even visited the Red Cross head' I uarters since the declaration of war. f the women of Mount Airy would pend as much time each week in ted Cross work a« they do at the notion picture show Surry County 'hapter would do aa much work a reek aa it will do, at the present rata it (peed, during the next twelve nonths. It is with considerable con Idence that this statement is made, lerause I am convinced that the only vomen who become angered will be hose who feci its truth. Is it possible that Surry County, rho is honored to have within her •orders six thousand women, will long emain in a condition of discredit in .he State at a time of the World's rreatest test?
