IT IS A MATTER OF FACT!

That backache, rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, bladder troubles, stone, gravel, lumbago, sciatica, nervousness, dizziness, are caused by diseased kidneys. Many men and women look upon symptoms of these ailments as trifling. But no symptom of kidney disorder is trifling, for it shows that the kidneys are failing to

filter the poisono„s uric acid from the blood, and this is the beginning of most diseases. At the first sign of kidney disorder, begin with Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills, they banish every form of kidney trouble, because they are a special medicine for the kidneys. Read this case:—

Mrs. A. Robinson, 125 Devon Street, New Plymouth, says: “I was a martyr to backache for some time, the pain being just above the kidneys. It was particularly severe when I stooped and I often used to feel quite ill with it. Seeing Doan's Backache Kidney Pills advertised as a special remedy for this co...plaint I decided to give them a trial. After taking a couple of bottles there wr.3 a marked improvement in my health, and by the time the fifth bottle was finished the pains had gone entirely, and I could move about without suffering in any way. It’s grand to be free of the torture of backache, and I cannot thank Doan’s Pills sufficiently for my perfect cure. I always keep them by me and take a dose now and again just - a preventive against any return of my old; complaint." Twelve years later, Mrs. Robinson says: “Thanks to Doan's Backache Kidney Pills I am still well, no sign of kidney trouble having returned since my cure was effected.”

- HIGH SCHOOL AT ELTHAM. CHAIRMAN’S AMENDMENT FAILS. A sub-committee consisting of Dr. Saunders, Major Perry and Mr. F. Lynch was set up by the Eltham school committee on Friday night to prepare a case for the establishment of a high school at Eltham to be submitted to the Taranaki Education Board. This was the outcome of a recent public meeting which had endorsed the proposal to ask for a high school. Dr. Saunders moved that the Taranaki Education Board and the department be asked to establish a district high school at Eltham. An amendment was moved by the chairman, the Rev. J. A. Rybum, that as the attendance at the public meeting was so small the school committee take no further action. Mr. F. Muggeridge seconded the amendment pro forma. Mr. Ryburn contended that the meeting was by no means representative of public opinion and he called it a “meeting of a sort.” Dr. Saunders took exception to the phrase and affirmed that it was a representative meeting. Mr. Rybum: I beg to differ from you. I consider it was a small meeting and not at all representative. Dr. Saunders: I consider an attendance of between 30 and 40 a very good muster at that type of meeting, especially when one remembers we did not run any cars to take people to the meeting. Mr. Rybum said exaggerated ideas of the meeting were held in the town. Major Perry referred to the fact that an incident in regard to the train travelling which he had mentioned and which he considered confidential had been repeated to an outside person by some member of the school committee and an erroneous idea of his remarks given. He considered that an apology was due to him from the member concerned, whoever he might be. The chairman: x am the member concerned and I considered that I had a right to inquire into the truth of the matter. Major Perry took. exception to the chairman's action. Mr. Rybum contended that the remarks had been made in open meeting and not in committee. A heated discussion ensued and finally the meeting went into committee. It was decided 'that the chairman and Major Perry should together interview the man to whom the statements had been made, and endeavour to set matters right. At this stage, Mr. F. Gawith, who was present at the meeting in his capacity as a Press representative, said he would like to throw some light on the matter. Dr. Saunders: I object to Mr. Gawith speaking. Mr. Gawith: I just want to say a few words. Dr. Saunders: I object. Mr. Gawith has no standing in this meeting. The chairman: Perhaps the committee would like to hear Mr. Gawith. Mr. Mitggeridge: If any member objects, it is not in order for Mr. Gawith to speak. Mr. T. Glass, in seconding the motion.

considered there was no need for further discussion on the subject as it had been thoroughly threshed out already and he suggested that a vote be taken. Mr. Ryburn’s amendment was put to the meeting and lost, only the chairman voting for it. Dr. Saunders’ motion was put to the meeting and was carried.
