First Letter From Edgef?eld's Missionaries Since Sailing From New York. Dear Advertiser: We are only about five miles from land now in a perpendicular direction down ward! And day after tomorrow afternoon we hope to set foot on what "Pat" called "terra cotta" that will be at Fishguard in Wales, from which we go via Cardiff (also in Wales) to London by rail. As the newspapers tell us that another revival bas broken out in Wales, we will feel a deeper interest in the country through which we pass. . We thank you and all the kind friends who responded to your sug gestion for that Atlantic ocean of steamer letters and post cards. It was a sweet thought and we deeply appreciate it. But the half wasn't told when you outlined what you supposed would be our last Sun day's work in America! Instead of a talk iu Brooklyn, that day we made seven, six of them in Chinese, at New Haven in the morning, at Brooklyn in the afternoon, and in New York city at night. We dis like to use Sunday trains, but it looked as though it was God's will that we should not decline the urgeut invitations. The last of these meet ings wasja unique one in that it was a gathering of the Chinese Christians of all denominations of greater New York. Wish you could have been with us and could be with us all the rest of the way. With best wishes for The Adver tiser family, your, brother and sis ter, John and Carrie Lake.

That costs about 10 per cent: you keep your money a year and pay 10 per cent for it. Paint would have to come down 25 percent to make 10 per cent on the job, for wages do not gu down.

Then the aching frequently be gins and is often accompanied by some irregularity of the urine-too frequent passages, sediment or re tention. Thousands testify to the wonderful merit of Doan's kidney pills, a remedy for the kidneys only that has been need in kidney troub les 50 years. You will .make no mistake in following this Edgefield citizen's advice. Mrs. J T Pattison, Edgefield, S. C., says* "l have given Doan's kid ney pills a thorough trial and I know them to be a splendid kidney remedy. On several occasions I used them and received ?lasting relief from kidney trouble.
