NOT THE ONLY ONE

There Are Other Rensselaer People Similarly Situated. I, Can there be any stronger proof offered than the evidence of Rensselaer residents? After you have read the following quietly answer the question. , „ Landy Magee, fur dealer, Rensselaer, says. “I suffered from a lame back and such severe pains across my loins that I could hardly move. I couldn’t rest well and my kidneys were too active. I doctored and used several medicines but nothing seemed to relieve me until I got Doan’s Kidney Pills at B. F. Fendig’s Drug Store. The backache and pains in, my loins soon left and the kidney secretions became natural.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) On February 22, 1916, Mr. Magee said: “Doan’s Kidney Pills are still my standby. I think they are fine and I am never without them in the house.” • Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Magee has twite publicly recommended? 1 Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. ii;",

The mass meeting at Tomlinson Hall at 2 o’clock on the 13th will be addressed by Lieutenant Perigord of the French army, and probably Henry Van Dyke, former United States Minister to Holland, Bishop Williams of Detroit, who was sent to Europe by the Red Cross and has just returned, and Congressman Medill McCormick who is just back from Europe, all of whom probably will be here to attend the conference. In addition, a member of the Council of National Defense will speak. We wil be given information as to the entire defense program and the real situation abroad in a more definite and interesting manner than we have ever had. At about 4:30 that meeting wil be separated into sectional meetings if desired. At 8 o’clock th"t night will occur the great patriotit mass meeting in Tomlinson Hall, at which we are promised a member of the cabinet from Washington as the speaker. It looks today like this would be Secretary Lansing. Definite announcement as to this can not be made until tomorrow.

Bestor, head of the National Speakers’ Bureau, and formerly head of the Chautauqua Association, Chautauqua, N. Y. Detail programs will be sent out in a day or so.
