DON'T LIKE MASKS. Positively Refuse to Wear Them in Theatres. Columbia, Feb. 22.?Masks as a protection against influenza germs are not the least bit popular in Barnwell, according to a telegram received bv the state health department yesterday from A. B. Patterson, chairman of the Barnwell board of health. The chairman wires as follows: "The local health board has passed regulations with regard to influenza requiring the wearing of masks in theatres and barber shops. Patrons will not wear masks. Advise me how to compel them to do so and enforce the regulations." Dr. C. V. Akin, assistant state health officer, communicated with Barnwell with regard to the matter and it seems that the town has not been quarantined. School children, . j it seems, wear the masks as a precauv tionary measure against the disease. Unless the disease becomes prevalent *? tho ctato health authori ill Daiuncn, mv uvuvw ties will probably act only in an advisory capacity. Masks were worn to some extent during the fearful epidemic in 191819, but they somehow gave the wearer a slightly dissipated appearance, and some of them were of such size . that the wearers seemed to be suffer4 * r ing from toothache and unmasked pedestrians were sometimes inclined to poke fun at the wearers asking such frivolous questions as "Who hit you on the jaw?" Masks also caused no little inconvenience to tobacco smokers and to see a confirmed chewer attempting to adjust his mask while expectorating was a never failing source of amusement to wayfarers. & - ; igi m ?

I haven't had occasion to use any Doan's Kidney Pills for several years, but 1 clearly remember the good I derived from them when last I used them, i had a lameness in my back and my kidneys were disordered, causing me much annoyance. I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they completely cured me of this trouble and put my kidneys in good shape again, so I am glad to endorse this remedy.
