Look we'll to their record. What they have done many time in years gone by is the best guarantee of fu' ture results. Anyone with bad back; any reader suffering from urinary troubles, from kidney ills, should find comforting words in the following statement.
 F. P. King, salesman, 160 West Thirteenth street, Pine Bluff, says: My kidneys didn't act as they should and l had backaches and pains through my Joins. Doan's Kidney Pills fixed my kidneys up in good shape and removed the backache and pain." (Statement given March 31, 1911.)
 Over two years later, MT. King said: "I haven't felt in need of a kidney medicine since I used Doan's Kidney Pills about four years ago fer I have been practically free from kidney weakness
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mir. King had. Foster-Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

The Pineapple In England.

ftneapples, which Londoners can aow buy ct the cheapest ratc within living memory, first reached England in th>> latter part of the seventeenth century. The fruit was thus 6 novelty to Sir Christopher Wren's generation; but he soon recognized it's value as an architectural ornament. and copper pineapples about five feet hlgn figure prominently op the towers of St Pauls. So highly did Wren esteem the fine proportions and enriched sur. face of this fruit that hts original dc sign for St. Paul's shows an enormous pineapple in the place of the dome Happily his naturer thoughts saved as from that appalling Spectacle. Since Wren tho pineapple has been as much ct home in our architecture as on OUT dinner tables. It has descended ever eo cast iron, and is frequently found in old.fashioned streets. Queen Victoria treasured seal given by her husband on which pineapple was engraved, together with the motto, "sa gloira n'est pas a couronns."-Pe1 Mall C.

Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish
Liver and You Lose Days Work
You're bilious, sluggish constipat-

erous calomel to start your liver and
clean the bowels.
Hsre's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a 30 cent bottle of bod
son Liver Tone and take spoonful
tonight, if it doesn't start your liver
and straighten you right up better
than calomel and without gripping
or making you sick want you to go
to the store and get your money.
Take caI"mel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick, and nauseat
ed. Don't lose days work. Take
a spoonful of harmless Vegetable bod

up feeling great. It's perfectly har-
mIess, SO give it to your children any
time 1t can't salivate so let them
eat anything afterwards.
