A Unique Record
Very Few Like II In Our Broad Re
public.

Home testimony for Doan's Kidney
Pills, published in every locality, is OF
itself convincing evidence OF merit
Confirmed testimony forms still stronger
evidence. Years ago, citizen of Hood
River grateful acknowledge the benefit
derived from Doan's Kidney Pills. The
statement is now confirmed the proof
more convincing. Cases of this kind are
plentiful in the work of Doau's Kidney
Pills-the record is unique.
Mrs. N. A. Monroe, Sl4 Cascade Ave-,
Hood River, says: "My back and kid
neys bothered me a great deal and felt
run down and miserable. Doan's Kid
ney Pills helped me greatly, soon restor-
ing me to my usual good health, Estate
given December 5, 1912.
STILL USES D0AN'S.
On May 5, 1916, Mrs. Monroe said !:
81 still hold the same, high opinion of
Deans Kidney Pills, as / have in the
past and | gladly confirm my previous
Recommendation whenever | am ques.
toned, for | know they are reliable.
Whenever it is necessary to take kid
ney medicine, use Doan's Kidney Pills
and they always do ne good"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kid
ney Pills--the kind that Mrs. Monroe
had. Foster Milburn Co., Props, Buf-

ments, is not in shape TO do business
with an F. o. B. agency. The quality
Of the local management should bt
GILT EDGED; the manager is really
a MERCHANT in charge of big mer-
camille BUSINESS. He is responsible
for the purchase of thousands of dol
lars worth of supplies on the most ad-
vantageous basis; he is responsible for
the extension of tens of thousands of
dollars of credit to members in the
shape of supplies and cash; in turn,
he has to represent the local in financ-
ing its aggregate requirements. Then,
he represents the trustees in the mat
ter of passing on the orders submitted
by the EXCHANGE and which come
over the wires in rapid-fire order for
weeks during the trading season. His
is a position of GREAT RESPONSE
BILlTY, and it is pitifully unwise and
unfair for local to place a man in
this difficult position who is unframed
and unfit for the weight of the re-
sponsibilities. Let me advise you-for
your OWN good,-DON'T try to see
how CHEAP man you can get as
manager but how GOOD a man. The
salary is a secondary consideration, as
the manager is in a position to save
you thousands or lose you thousands of
dollars in any season.
And now, | am nearly through my
talks to you. have tried to tell you
the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. l have again and again
urged you to put them to the proof.
repeat my invitation to you to do this.

Lieut.. Van Horns Son Dead

Little Willis, Jr., the two year old
son of Lieutenant and Mrs. Edward
Van Horn, after an illness of several
weeks, passed away at the East Side
home last Thursday morning. The
funeral was held at the home Friday
afternoon, Rev. A. E. Mcnamara par
ticipating.
The death was an especially sad one.
The little boy, by his bright and cheer
full disposition, had wound himself
around the heartstrings not only of
members of his family, but all with
whom he came in contact.
Lieutenant Van Horn last summer
inaugurated the campaign that led to
the organization here of 18th Company
and fellow officers and members of the
military organization were pail bear
ers at the funeral. The funeral was
directed by S. E. Bartmess.

PERMANENT PUR.
CHASE FUND PLANNED

By vote of members of the organiza-
tion at their annual meeting to be held
next Saturday, April Z, the Apple
Growers Association may establish q
permanent fund to be used in the pur-
chase of supplies and in tiding men,
bers over the periods of crop harvest.
1t is proposed to make necessary
changes in the bylaws that will pro-
vide for the annual levy of one cent
per box on all apples and other fruits
for which the sales agency's handling
charge is 10 cents per box, and pro-
portionate assessment on packages of
fruit which take a lesser handling
charge. A temporary purchasing fund
was made by such levy last year, the
sum of $ll, 1870 having been raised
thereby.

Why Constipation Injuries

The bowels are the natural sewerage
system of the body. When they be-
come obstructed by constipation, part OF
the poisonous matter which they should
carry off is absorbed into the system,
making you feel dull and stupid, and
interfering with the digestion and as
stimulation of food. The condition is
quickly relieved by Chamberlain Tab
lets. Obtainable everywhere.

THIRD FLOOR OF
HOSPITAL RUN
Concrete Floor on Top Story Will Be
Completed at Kings Daughters
Hospital Today.

The third floor of the new Kings
Daughters Hospital being erected on
West River Front has been run. The
pouring of the concrete was begun
yesterday afternoon at one o'clock and
if Contractor Rubush has good luck
it will be completed by five this after
noon.
The running of concrete floor re-
ouired continued work from the time
the first bucket is emptied until the
last ounce of concrete is smoothed
over. This is the third and last floor
that is to be run with the exception
of smaller floor in the basement.
The laying of concrete floor in
fire-proof building is very inter-
esting sight to witness. The. city ed
itor of The Daily Commonwealth was
the guest of Mr.. Rubush last night and
watched the work progress.
One interesting feature of the night
work is the lunch hour when the Con-
tractor gives "spread' for his en-
ployses. Last night twenty two ne,
groes drank three and half gallons
Of black coffee and. ate eighteen loaves
of light bread and a quantity of meat
and cheese.
When the present floor has hardened
the walls on part of the building Will
be raised about four feet higher and
the roof put on. At the rear over
about half of the building the walls
90 to the full height Of story and
will enclose the operating room which
will be one of the most modern IN
the South.
Contractor Rubush stated this morn
ing that it probably will take two or
two and a half months to complete
the work, the time necessary being due
almost entirely now to the weather.
