At night as she carefully tucks the bed clothes round them she chides and warns that mother will be angry if they repeat last night's offense softly saying to hero self it’s only a habit, but I must break them of it. This is”’mother’s mistake. The children cannot help it, and sweet, clean dry beds can be the resting place of every child when it is understood that the cause is not a habit but a weak- ness that can be cured. Active life of the little ones tends to weakening the kidneys and weak kidneys mean ina- bility to retain the urine. This is a condition not a habit, and should have the same prompt attention you would give to the marked symptoms of any disease. One Doan’s Kidney Pills, taken twice a dayand at bedtime, will strengthen the kidneys of a child, and in a short time there will-be no cause to scotd, for the so-called habit will disappear promptly. Here’s a grateful mother that adds her endorsement to our words: Mrs. William Wood who lives at 130 Colony street, Meriden. Conn, says: Notice is hereby given, that the Ad- journed Annual Meeting of the- City of Norwalk, will be held in the Town House, in said City. on Monday, March 1st. 1897, at 7:30 o’clock in the evening, for the following purposes, to Wit: ' 1. To appropriate from the city treas- ury such money as may be necessary for the use of eachof the departments of said city for the ensuing fiscal year. 2". To lay a tax upon the ratable es- tate within said city, contained in the assessment list last completed, to an amount sufiicient to meet and provide for said appropriations so to be made. 3. To hear reports of city officials; and to transact any other business that may properly be considered at said meeting. , The council of said city has made the following detailed estimate of the amount of money which in itsjudgment will be necessary and requisite to meet and provide for each of the depart- ments of the city government. for the next ensuing fiscal year : ,fi SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2'7, 1897. , Miraclzs. ' The comments of Dr. Lyman Abbott upon the Biblical narrative of Jonah has excited considerable attention in 'theologicalcircles. The Christian con- cept of the Diety has been that of Om- nipotence and Omniscience,but instead °of preserving unimpaired the dignity of the Creator and claiming for him that He always has had and now has power to reverse the laws of Nature, too many Christians attempt to reconcile Science and Religion and in these attempts the omnipotence of the Creator isweak- e-ned.

The world is drifting away from the Bible and the God of the Bible and in attempting to belittle or explain away these facts which register the will and power of the Almighty we are sure- ly weakening the Christian faith and its moral sanctions. Men like Voltaire, Raine and Ingersoll are extremists and realty do but little harm, but the avowed Christian minister who at- tempts to belittle the stories of the Bible and explain away recorded miracles does more harm than a whole drove of Vol- taires. Whatever may be our opinion of the Church of Rome We must con- cede thatfrom her pulpits come no mes' sages like that of Dr. Abbott and that The integrity of the Scriptures and the Divine scheme of man’s redemption is not criticised or belittled. '- =i ‘ >-. Quick Relief from Rheumatism. Mr. Elisha Berry, of this place says he 1 never had anything do him so much‘good, and give such quick relief from rheumatism as Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. He was Experience is the Only True Test. ' F. A. Turner, of the State Insurance Ofu ficc, Salem, Ore, says: “Out of the scores of SPAGE cough medicines in the market there is only one I have any confidence in and that is Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I make this '8 statement after an experience of twelve years’ use of this valuable remedy. For coughs and colds it is splendid, but where its work is infallible is with children subject to croup. I keep it in my home at all times.” Fo'r sale by E. P. Weed, Druggist. gIGHT PARCEL and LUUKWUUU’ ACKAGE DELIVERY Cheap rates. Will also take orders for mes- ouser service in New York.
