WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many WilImar People in Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

There are scores of people who drag
out a miserable existence without real
izing the cause of their suffering. Day
after day they are racked with back
ache and headache; suffer from nerv-
BUSINESS, dizziness, weakness, languor
and depression. Perhaps the kidneys
have fallen behind in their work of
filtering the blood and that may be the
root of the, trouble. Look to your kid
neys-assist them in their work-give
them the help they need. You can
use no more highly recommended
remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills.
Below is grateful testimony from a
sufferer in this locality.
Mrs. Andrew Silverberg, Litchfield,
Mimi, says: 81 had dull ache across
my loins and my back was so lame and
sore that it hurt me to bend over. l
tried everything to relieve the misery,
but failed until l took Doan's Kidney
Pills. They not only brought relief,
but made my kidneys normal and took
away all signs of the trouble. When
l have taken cold or have worked hard
since, / have felt a touch of backache,
but a few doses of DOan's Kidney
know of no other kidney medicine that
could take the place of Doan's Kidney
Pills.

ply ask for a kidney remedy-get

Telephone Co. and Liberty Bonds

~'Sr''~'sS wv e''~ Sa0~u y 0OU0os
Arrangements have been made
whereby employees of the Northwest
ern Telephone Exchange Company
may subscribe for government bonds
of the Liberty Loan" and pay for
them on monthly installments, accord
ing to an announcement received by
Manager John Williams.
In addition to the 100000 of the
bonds which the Bell Telephone Sys-
tenn has taken, it is expected that the
employees of the various Companies
of the System will subscribe for an
equally large amount under the plan of
paying for the bonds on monthly in
stallments.
The installment plan provides for
the payment of 81 each month for ten
months and IS per month for two
months on each $50 bonds for which
the employee subscribes. This will
enable telephone employees to pay for
their bonds in one year and collect six
months interest in June, 1913. This
will give them a return of approx
mately 3 IL per cent interest on each
installment paid.
In case an employee desires at any
time during the year to make all re-
naming payments at once and take up
his bond, he will be permitted to do
so.

A Call for Men.

The First Minnesota Infantry is
making its final call for men.
1t wants real men, sound of body
and limb-men who are willing and
anxious to fight for America.
The First Minnesota Infantry is on
the last lap of its campaign to bring
the regiment to full war strength, 2,OO2
men. There are places still for 200
men.
There is a chance for advancement
in the First Minnesota Infantry that is
not likely to be found in the drafted
ranks: Officers for the National Guard
are chosen only from the National
officers will fall. Their places will be
taken by the men who have vOlun-
teered.
There is every prospect that men
who enlist now will be among the. first
hundred thousand American troops
an army which history always will re-
member, to fight in Europe.
The fact that men have registered
does not bar them from volunteering.
The First Minnesota Infantry also Of
fers a patriotic opportunity to men not
included in the draft-those between
Is and 81, and between 81 and 40, who
have no one dependent on them for
support.
The First Minnesota Infantry al
ready has an enviable name in Amer
lean History. The old First Minnesota
of the Civil War days won undying
fame at Gettysburg. Men who know
the First Minnesota Infantry of today
predict it also will make a name for
itself in the World War.
