Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Butler Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore,

DANGER SIGNAL NO. comes
fromthe kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys are weak.
Well kidneys excrete clear, amber
fluid. Disordered, kidneys send out a
thin, pale and foamy, or a thick. red,
ill-smelling urine, full of sediment and
irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, suggest
weak kidneys and in that case warn
you of the danger of dropsy, gravel
and Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney
Pills are endorsed by thousands.
Here's Butler proof:
Mrs. B. F. johnson, 200 S. Main
St., Butler, NO., says: 81 suffered
intensely from kidney trouble. My
back ached so badly that l often
thought could not endure the misery
any longer. Finally, used box of

Drug Store, and they cured me-"

The willow is a quick-growing tree
and will grow on what is usually call
ed waste land. Willow fence posts
will last long time if treated with
creosote. By the time the willows
that are planted next spring are large
enough for posts, the creosote treat
ment will be common. Waste land is
not waste land if willows are growing
on it.

no excuse.
Increasing the weight limit on par
