Just Got Over a Bad Cold?

Look out for kidney troubles and
backache. Colds overtax the kid
neys and often leave them weak. For
weak kidneys-well, read what a
Morris woman says:
Mrs. Ole Westby, 215 Atlantic
Ave-, Morris, says: Some years ago
took heavy cold which settled in
my kidneys. I was annoyed by the
irregular action of my kidneys and
my bach ached continually. When in
bed I was worse for no matter what
position I got in there semmed to be
no let up in the pain. I would be
dizzy and could see black specks be-
fore my eyes. Reading about Doan's
Kidney Pills being so good 1 went to
Krueger's Drug Store and got some.
Several boxes fixed me up sound and
well. Doan's Kidney Pills do all that
is claimed for them and I always re-
commend them"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

REDUCTION IN PRICES
OF AUTOS NOT COMING

1T is pretty generally accepted in
the trade" says Automobile Topics.
'that here is no reason at the pres
ent time to anticipate at reduction in
automobile prices, following the gem
eral reductions in retail lines through
out the country. This, of course. is
due to the shortage of cars, coupled
with the fact that manufacturing diff
ficulties are increasing rather than
decreasing. In fact, because of ma
terials shortage, the difficulty in COM
pleting factory additions. high wages
and so on, it is rather more likely
that prices will go up before they
come down than that they viii decline
in the near future from their position.
viewing the automobile price Ques-
tion from the comparative standpoint
it is possible to discover still another
reason why the cost of automobiles
should not be expected TO come down
very soon. This is that their advance
has been exceedingly moderate, as
compared with the advances in other
lines. The commodity index numbers
for all commodities advanced from
1914 to January, 1920. 14S per cent.
Automobiles advanced only per cent.
In other words, prices on practically
everything else can be reduced quite
a way before reaching a parity with
motor car prices"

old TIRES HAVE MANY
USES, SAYS DIAMOND

Worn-out inner tubes which usually
are thrown into an out-ofthe-way
corner of the garage or sold to the
junk man deserves a better fate. Just
like miladys hairpin, says the Dia-
mond Rubber CO., Inc, they can be
used for thousand and one things
other than that for which they were
intended.
Properly patched and inflated, they
make excellent life preservers, cush-
ions for easy chairs. or swings for
babies. If cut crosswise they make
excellent rubber bands. Pieces = of
tubes may be cut with scissors and
used in an emergency for washers.
Strips of rubber for winding hammer
and ak handles may be obtained by
starting at the end and cutting spiral
ly around the tube.
Innumerable other ways for using
the tubes will present themselves once
the owner get out of the habit of con-
sidering them worthless. Even the
valve stems can be used again to re-
place a damaged stem in good tube

FORMER NEWSPAPER MAN DIES
o. c. Smith. Once A VirOqua Editor,
| Dies at Ripe Age in Chicago

In his Spring Green News BILLY"
| Purdy who, as an early printers
apprentice on the Censor remembers
all movements in Vernon county of
newspaper men, reports the death of
Oliver c. Smith, going into the follow
| ing details in late issue:
| o. c.. Smith, for years local edit
or of the Dodgeville Chronicle dur
ing Mr.. Hearn's ownership of that
paper, died at the home of his
daughter in Chicago, May Gath, at
the age of 81 years.
In an early day Mr.. Smith was
connected with the Viroqua Expos
| itor, which, we believe, was owned
by Smith Brothers. 1t was the second
paper in the then village of Viroqua,
J. A. Somerby being editor of the
Northwestern Times. The Times was
blown away in the big tornado of
1865, the Expositor having suspended
prior to that time. The files of both
papers are now owned by the Vernon
| County Censor, which took them
over.
Mr.. Smith was versatile writer
! and the two papers in the pioneer
and forth, made things lively in
those days.
The Expositor was established in
August 1858, with o. C. Smith as
editor, his two brothers, Jesse and
Justus as joint proprietors and pub
| fishers. 1t was about the time of
the Civil war, consolidated with the
| Northwestern Times, the Censor being
the merger name. o. c. Smith mar
ried a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nathaniel Morrison, pioneers of this
community, who died many years
ago.
