THE PLAIN TRUTH
What Kore Can Plattsmouth People
Ask?
When well-known residents and
highly-respected people of Platts
mouth make such statements us the
following, it must carry conviction
to every reader:
Louis Kroehler, proprietor hard
ware store, 521 Main St., Platts
mouth, says: "About a year ago, I
had a pain in my back. I was so
lame I couldn't stoop. My kidneys
were weak and I had a tired, languid
feeling nearly all the time. Head
aches were common. I bought Doan's
Kidney Pills from Edward Rynott
& Co.'s Drug Store and they soon
relieved me." (Statement given
April 10. 1912.)
On February 22, 191C, Mr. Kroeh
ler said: "I still hold the same high
estimation of .Doan's Kidney Pills
as when I first endorsed them. It
has been several years since I have
had to take a kidney medicine."
Price COc, at all dealers. Don't
simply aide for a kidney remedy

"I have had more or less stomach
trouble for eight or ten years."
writes Mrs. G. H. Smith, Brewerton,
N. Y. "When suffering from at
tacks of indigestion and heavine:u
after eating, one or two of Chamber
lain's Tablets have always relieved
me. I have also found them a pleas
ant laxative." These tablets tone
up the stomach and enable it to per
form its functions naturally. If you
are troubled with indigestion give
them a trial, get welt and stay well.

s. Joseph Hospital at Kauass City,
some time since for treatment, and
it was while he was thtre that he
died. His daughter and her hus
band, Mr. and Mrs. August Brad way

place. But how they will live will
be determined as to how they like
the place after having located there.

"Free" neans that this ware does not cost Copper-Clad buyers a

and is olfered by him to justify yon in attending this sale.

Free Next Week to Every Copper Clad Bayer
Come See the Asbestos Sweat.
GQPPER-6LAD MEEli
Next Week October 8th to 13th
No matter whether you want a range now or next year or any
other time, it will pay you to come and see the Copper-Clad Crank
make the Asbestos Sweat.
He takes any piece of arbestos, puts it between two iron plates
heats it and shows you the sweat. You can roll it up in drops
with your finger.
Every good range must be lined with asbestos to cage and
hold the "heat. Every time the range cools oh" the ashertos tala-s
moisture out of the fresh air circulating through the range like a
blotter takes up water. When you fire up. this moisture, driven
by the heat to the outside against the cold range body starts Sweats
Rust ou the inside where you can't get at it even though you know
it rusts. Sweat Bust ruins thousands -and thousands of otherwise
good ranges every year. When the body is gone, the range is done for.
The Copper-Clad Idea Is "A Sheet of Pure
Copper Between the Asbestos and Range Body"
Copper never rusts. It may tarnish but it will last for cen
turies. There are Copper Domes that have been defying the ele
ments for hundreds of years. So, when we say a ' Copper-Clad can't
rust out." we mean that the copper lining overcomes all internal
rust. Your greasy rag will keep the outside free of rust and
there are no fussy ornaments full of rivets and bolts to skiu your
hands. The Copper-Clad wipes clean like a dish.
If these things are so you should know it. Not by hearsay
hut by the evidence of your own eyes. Remember, this Copper-Clad
Crank is here to tell to show to explain. He delights in it. You
won't "bother" him by asking questions. He has oodles of time to
answer and he is here to "Show You."
THE RANGE
The strikingly beautiful outlines of the Copper-Clad Range
stops every woman. As fhe looks and admires, the finds that it i.-
true beauty- the beauty of simple elegance and perfect propor
tions of line finish the thoroughbred of the Range World.
Lock for hinges on the above two only on the oven door and
they are long and smooth. There are six other doors, yet cot a
hinge in sight, not a catch, nor hook, nor latch. Built like luir
automobiles, the hinges are all inside.
