Our own commerce is suffering sther in apprehension than in fact, ather because so many of our ships re timidly keeping to their home orts, than because American ships ave been sunk. This in itself might presently ac omplish in effect what the new Ger ian submarine orders were meant to ccomplish so far as we are con erned. The case of the Lyman M.

All over Manning you hear it Doan's Kidney Pills are keepinlg up the good work. Manning people are telling about it-telling of bad backs made sound again. You can believe the testimony of your own townspeo ple. They tell it for the benefit of you who are suffering. If your back aches, if the kidneys act too fre quently, or passages are painful, scanty and off color, use Doan's Kid ney 1'ills, the remedy that has helped so many of your friends and neigh bors. Follow this Manning citizen's : dvice and give Doan's a chance to do tne same for you. W. R. White, grocer, S. Boundary St., says: "I suffered from kidney trouble for years. I had to get up very often during the night to pass the kidney secretions and they were highly colored and contained sediment like brick-dust. I suffered constant ly from backaches and sharp pains across my loins. I could hardly turn in bed and mornings my back was so lame and sore that it was diffi cult for me to dress myself. Nothing helped me until I got Doan's Kidney Pills. After using one box, my back didn't ache any more and the lame ness and soreness had all disappear ed. Idon't have to get up now to pass the kidney secretions and airy feeling twenty years younger." ALWAYS RELIABLE. Over six years later, Mr. White said: "I have used Doan's Kidney Pills whenever I have had any sign of kidney trouble and they have kept: my back and kidneys in good condi tion."
