A Safe Test
For those who are in need of a rem-
edy for kidney troubles and backache,
it is a good plan to try Doan’s Kidney
Pills. They are strongly recommend-
ed by Bellefonte people.
Mrs. J. F. Thal, 28 N. Thomas St.,
Bellefonte, says: “I suffered with
backache and severe pains through
my kidneys. I had headaches and
dizzy spells, when I first got up in the
morning and my kidneys acted irreg-
ularly. My attention was called to
Doan’s Kidney Pills and I heard of so
many being benefited by their use
that I procured a bax at the Green
Pharmacy Co. That one box remov-
ed the backache. The headaches and
dizzy spells left and my kidneys be-
came regular and I felt better in every
way. I cheerfully recommend Doan’s
to any one who suffers as I did.”
(Statement given October 19, 1919).
On October 18, 1918, Mrs. Thal
said: “I am very glad to confirm my
former endorcement of Doan’s Kidney
Pills. Today I am a well woman and
to recommend Doan’s is a pleasure.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills,—the same that
Mrs. Thal had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

Produce more—
Save more—
But we can’t continue increasing our
production unless we continue Increasing
our railroad facilities
The farms, mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products.
Railroads are now near the peak of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion—more en-
gines, more cars, more tracks, more ter-
minals—there can be little increase In
production.
But this country of ours is going to
keep right on growing—and the railroads
must grow with it.
To command in the investment markets
the flow of new capital to expand railroad
facilities—and so increase production—
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power of railroads.
The nation’s business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow.
