To advise and make repairs only when we know repairs will pay. To recommend the purchase of a new battery only when repairs on the old one would not be a good investment. To speak frankly, plainly, and with a thought of the best interests of the battery owner whether his is a Wil lard Battery or not.

A familiar burden in many homes. The burden of a “bad back.” A lame, a weak or an aching back Often tells you of kidney ills. Doan’s Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys. Ask your neighbor! Here is Decorah testimony. Carl Jokstad, blacksmith, Main St., says: “I have taken Doan's Kid ney Pills for lame back and have found them a fine kidney remedy. About three years ago I had an at tack of kidney complaint. My back ached and the muscles were so lame I couldn’t stoop over. I took Doan’s Kidney Pills for this trouble and they gave me quick ■ • 1 w-' )£«r—, commended them to many people when I have heard them complain ing of kidney disorder.” Price f>oc at all dealers. Don’t simply ask of a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Jokstad had. Foster-Milbum Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

LUMBER LIME CEMENT SASHES We want to assist you with your building- plans. A memorial to your loved ones who have gone on be fore cannot be any too good.

There is a certain test,, Find a dealer who is making a life w r ork of his business, who has a stock of finished work on hand, and who may be found any time you want him. Make up your mind whether or not he knows his business oy talking it over with him and then leave the rest to him.
