THE BEST PROOF
Willmar Citizens Cannot Doubt It.
Doan's Kidney Pills were used—
They brought benefit.
The story was told to Willmar resi
dents.
Time has strengthened the evi
dence.
Has proven the result lasting.
The testimony is from this local
ity.
The proof convincing.
Mrs. Charles Gallagher, Benson,
Minn., says: "What I said about
Doan's Kidney Pills when 1 publicly
recommended them in 1907 still holds
good. My back felt as though it
were paralyzed and there was an ex
treme weakness across my loins.
Deciding to try Doan's Kidney Pills
I procured a supply and they com
pletely cured me. During the years
that have since passed I have not
had the least recurrence of my trou
ble."

Newspapers print
nearly every day the
story of some fire disaster
involving the complete
destruction of great prop
erty values and some
times the loss of human lives.
The annual fire losses of the
United States are measured
by the millions in fact, it is
stated that over two hundred
and fifty million dollars worth of
property was wiped out by fire in the
United States last year. While it is
true that the precautions to prevent
fire and the fire,fighting systems are
often inadequate, the main trouble lies
in flimsy non-fireproof building construction. 'c
Experience has proved that fireproof con
struction^ both practicable and economical.
In some industries fireproof building is com- _._
pelled by law. Reinforced concrete has .
come to the front as the most important
agent in building against fire. The use of
cement in building is becoming more and '"JJ
more common, due to its fireproofness, •*.,
durability and economy. When building -.
anything from the back porch steps to an
office building, concrete construction may ^3' "--l
be safely adopted. The use of Universal -,
Portland Cement in the concrete will insure -«., 7/~
