English Flock To Colors.
! United Press Dispatch.
London, Sept. 11.—The en
thusiastic manner in which all
England is flocking to the col

of all the male members of some
families in various parts of the
Kingdom. Henry Ellison, an ex
Grenadier Guardsman living at
Battersea, has eight sons serv
ing with the colors.
Four brothers belonging to
Cottenham, near Cambridge, are
with the British troops who have
been stubbornly contesting the
advance of the Germans in
Northern France. Another
brother of the same family is on
a British war ship. Still anoth
er, who migrated to Canada, is
en route back to old England
with a Canadian r^g^ment. A
seventh has just resigned from
Cnivers and Sons, a local firm,
to enbst. A sister of these sev
en warrior brothers, is married
to a bluejacket, who is on one of
the war ships in the North Sea.
ALL WRONG.
. *
jThe Mistake Is Made By Many
Newport Citizens.
Look for the cause of back
ache.
To be cured you must know
the cause.
If it’s weak kidneys you must
set the kidneys right.
A Newport resident tells you
how.
Miss Hattie Stuart, Malcolm
avenue, East Newport, says:
“One of our family had a bad
back that bothered her and se
vere headaches came on. Her
sight blurred too. Doan’s Kid
ney Pills have given her good re
lief from these ailments.”
Price, 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the
same that Miss Stuart recom
mends. Foster-Milburn Co.,
