THE ONLY WAY
Many Glenwood Citizens Have Discov-

Just what to do when the kidneys arc

both old and young. Weak kidneys
neglected in childhood lead to lifelong
suffering. People of advanced years,
with less vitality, suffer doubly. In

ness make life burden
There is one remedy that acts direct
ly on the kidneys and cures these trou-
bles. Doan's Kidney Pills owe their
world wide fame to the fact that they

VICTOR v1crRo1A Is A WONDER

Scores of Glenwood people called
at the Postoffice Book Store this wee'r
and were given their first sight Of n
Victor Victrola "talking machine. -
And after listening to the music and
hearing the voices Of the singers, all
agreed that it is by far the best ma
chine that ever came to the city.
The Victor Victrola stands about
four feet high and is eighteen inches
square. 1t is beautifully encased in
mahogany with lid, which when
closed, makes 4 very neat piece of fur
niture for the home. Many music low
ers have always objected to the me-
tallic sound that is given by machines
with n horn attachment, but the Victor
Victrola has no horn, the sound being
carried back through the transmitter
and comes out through sort of open
ing near the center of the front OF
the case. Two small doors are placed
at this opening and thus the machine
can be regulated by the opening OF
closing of the doors to give either
soft or loud sounds. At either side
and below this sound escape are apart
ments filed with record fles perfectly
indexed and arranged in the most con
yenient manner for the storing Of re-
cords. Thus the owner Of the machine
has the whole affair in one handsome
case. The first machine has already
been sold to Chris Christensen and NIT
Mayes of the Book Store informs nj
that be has orders for more OF the"
and that he will secure them Just as
rapidly as the Victor people can turr
them out of their factory.
