The Grain Moves Slowly.

Hon. James T. Bradshaw, state
grain and warehouse commissioner Of
Missouri, says that while 1920 was
one of the best crop years ever known
in the state, and more wheat, corn
and oats were produced than ever be-
fore, that but little of the crop has
found its way to the market. This
unusual condition he attributes to the
low price Of the grain He says that
not more than 10 per cent of the
wheat crop has yet been marketed

awaiting higher prices.

People with bad backs and weak
kidneys are apt to feel old at sixty.

Pills help them keep young. Here's
a Mexico case:S
P. S. Morris, retired farmer, SOB w.
Love Street, says: Several years ago
/ used Doan's Kidney Pills when my
kidneys were giving me trouble and
they certainly did all that was claim
ed for them. Doan's relieved me of
the annoying pains across my back
and the irregular action of my kid
neys. I am glad to recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills for they did me worlds
of good. / got them at Llewellyn &
Sons Drug Store" Statement given
June Id, 1850
On April 8, 1920. Mr.. Morris said:
"I am still very glad to recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills. When a man
gets as old as I am and Doan's cures
him, they surely are great. / haven't
had need for a kidney remedy since
,Doan's Kidney Pills cured me up a
few years ago"
