PRICE Of TURKEYS.

Partly on account of short crop and largely on
account of the operations OF spectators turkeys ruled
higher this Thanksgiving than for several years
We are doing everything that can be done to OBJ
tain Christmas turkeys at low prices but unfortunately,
the spectators have got firm grip on the situation
that it is absolutely certain that turkeys will be higher
than for several years at Christmas.
Of course shall have plenty of them and at
lower prices than you buy for elsewhere, but we
think it is only fair that our patrons should understand
the situation it is
There is this consolation that turkey is not
necessary article for the Christmas dinner There are
other kinds of poultry at comparatively lower prices
and lamb and pork bid fair to be very reasonable not to
mention beef

Do YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK?
Thousands of Women Have Kidney
Trouble and Never Suspect it.
To what The Great Kidney Remedy will
every reader of this paper may have a sample
by mall.

Women suffer untold misery because
the nature of their disease is not al
ways correctly understood; in many
cases when doctoring, they are led to
believe that womb trouble or female
weakness of some sort is responsible
for their ills, when in fact disordered
kidneys are the chief cause of their
distressing troubles.
Nervousness, headache, puffy or
dark circles under the eyes, dragging
pain or dull ache in the back, weak
ness or bearing down sensation, pro-
fuse or scanty supply of urine, fire.
quent desire to pass it night or day,
with scalding or burning sensation
these are all unmistakable signs of
kidney and bladder trouble.
DR.. Ki1mer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
A trial will convince anyone.
If there is any doubt in your mind as
to your condition, take from your urine
on rising about four o6nces, place it in
a glass or bottle and let it stand twenty
four hours. If on examination it is
milky or cloudy, if there is brick
dust settling, or'if small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are in need
of immediate attention.
When the heart is acting badly, have
you ever thought that it may be due to
kidney trouble, as is often the case?
