BACK BAD TODAY?
Backache is usually kidney ache and
makes you dull, nervous and tired.
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

Why Constipation Injuries.
The bowels are the natural sewer
age system of the body. When thej
become obstructed by constipation a
part of the poisonous matter which
thejr should carry off is absorbed Inti
the system, making you feel dull ant
stupid, and interfering with the di
gestion and assimilation of food. Thli
condition is quickly relieved by Cham
beriain's Tablets. Obtainable every
where.
Surry County Women
Put in Bad Company.
By J. H. Carter.
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?
