THE PROPER COURSE
Information of Priceless Value to
Every Holly Citizen.

How to act in an emergency is
knowledge of inestimable worth,
and this is particularly TRUE of the
disease and ills of the human body.
If you suffer with kidney backache,
urinary disorders, or any form OF
kidney trouble, the advice contain
ed in the following statement
should add a valuable asset to
your store of kowledge. What
could be more convincing proof of
the efficiency of Doan's Kidney Pills
than the statement Of nearby resi-
dent who has used them and pub
licly tells of the benefit derived?
O.C. Stapleton, farmer, N. Seventh
St., Garden City Kansas, says. II
had trouble from my kidneys and
backache made me miserable. The
kidney secretions passed too freely
and I was obliged to get up three
or four times at night. This weak
ness broke my rest and mornings
1 felt tired and worn-out. One of
my family had used Doan's Kidney
Pills SO successfully, that tried
them. They ended the trouble in
short time and have been free
from it SINCE"
Price 6Oc at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mrs. Stapleton had. Foster

Minimum Prie. On Hogs Fixed.

No doubt hOgmen will be pleased
to note that the Special Argicultur-
al Committee of the Food Admins
tratiOn saw fit to place the mini
mum price of hogs at $3.50 for Feb
ruary. This $3.50 minimum does
not apply to pigs under $50 pounds,
thin sows, bOars or stays, which, as
before, are to be classcd as throw
outs. Taking care OF Il per cent
increased hog production is no
easy problem at the packing centers
and "gluts" caused by feeders
rushing heavy shipments to mar
ket are difficult to absorb without
sacrificing prices. Embargos be-
come a necessity in order to have
back over.fiows. Keeping prices
from slumping when supply ex-
ceeds demand is problem of no
small proportion. Until better
systems of marketing are solved
and properly respected by organic
ed producers-embargos alone will
uphold prices as law of "self-de-
fense" against sudden heavy sup
ply. Il. Tingle, Colorado AgricuE
