pays to spray, look up market quota-

between the ‘fancy’ grades and the

Spraying has more than any other
one thing to do with making fancy fruit,
the kind that brings the high prices.

HELP THE KIDNEYS
Meyersdale Readers Are Learning The
WAY.
It’s the little kidney ills—
The lame, weak or aching back—
The unnoticed urinary disorders——
That may lead to dropsy and Brights
disease,
When the kidneys are weak,
Help them with Doan’s Kidney
Pills,
A remedy especially for weak kid-
neys.
Doan’s have been used in kidney
troubles for 50 years.
Endorsed by 40,000 people—endorse
ed at home.
Proof in a Meyersdale citizens state-
ment.
H. L. Heffley, 306 North St. Mey-
ersdale, says: “About three years
ago I was troubled by severe pains
in the small of my back, brought om
by my work which kept me in damp
places. The pains were so bad that I
became alarmed. I was very lame {in
the morning and could hardly stoop
over or lift anything. I got a box of
Doan’s Kidney Pills at Thomas's
Drug Store and I improved after ta-
king it. Three boxes cured me and I
haven't been troubled since.”
Price 50 cents at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a Kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills, the same
that cured Mr. Heffley. Foster—Mil-
burn Co., Pros. Buffalo, N. Y.
