Kidneys can't talk, but II you don't

them.
They havo o language of their own,
this Is how they toll you.
When you work too hard what followsf
You arc tired, arn't you. o.
Its just the same with the kidneys. they
got tired they have SO much to do.
You stoop over at some occupation.
You strain yourself lifting.
You walk too far or ride too far.
You call this over-exertion. You cannot
sleep when night comes.
Your backaches. Your headaches, often
you ache all over.
Oh, you say, its because Pm tired.
Now, this isn't right, its because your
kidneys are tired.
They can only do just so much and tho
lifting, STOPPING, straining or exerting
has retarded their action.
Tho heart has pumped the blood into
them faster than thoy can filter It,
The filter Is over.taxed and becomes
cloggea.
They cry for assistance in many aches
that follow.
Nothing starts the kidneys working
quicker than Doan's Kidney Pills.
We say so and people right here In
Jersey are endorsing 1t.

where strikers were drinking. Cum

compelled them to go outside. On the
porch one of the strikers called Cum

other men to draw weapons. A num-
Der of shots were fired and three Of the
men fell. Cummings was picked up
and carried into the hotel, where he
