THAT MORNING LAMENESS.
»
If you are lame every morning, and
suffer urinary ills, there must be a
cause. Often it's weak kidneys. To
strengthen the weakened kidneys and
avert more serious troubles, use
Doan’s Pills. You can rely on O’Neill
testimony.
Mrs. M. D. Murrav, O’Neill, says:
“I can recommend Doan’s Pills very
highly for I have used them for
several years as a kidney tonic. At
times I have been so lame that I
couldn’t straighten up and at night I
was restless and unable to sleep.
Mornings I would get up feeling all
tired out and miserable. I had known
of Doan’s Pills doing good for others
and this led me to try them. I got
a box at Stout’s Drug Store and I felt
much better after using them. I have
used Doan’s since and they keep my
kidneys in good condition. I believe
Doan’s to be the best kidney remedy
of all.”
RHce 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs. Mur
phy had. Foster-Milbum Co., Mfrs.,

ARE YOU GETTING FULL VALUE
FROM YOUR CLOTHES?
How often do you have your clothes
cleaned and pressed? Don’t wear them
until the whole world knows they ought
to be cleaned and pressed, but give your
merchant and his clothes a chance to
shew their stuff and there will be fewer
complaints about their quality.
Some fellows drive their cars until
they squeak before putting in any more
oil, others wear their clothes until some
one kids them and ask if the cleaners
have gone out of business.
To get the best out of your suit it
should be cleaned four times a year and
pressed once a month at least, if you
are wearing it all the time it should be
cleaned once a month or oftener as the
nature of the work you are in will re
quire, and pressed every week or every
other week.

Workings of the Esch-Cummins Law
AS VIEWED BY OUR PATRONS
IN a recent speech made by Mr. P. R. Wigton,
Commissioner of the Traffic Bureau, Chamber of
Commerce, Watertown, South Dakota, before the
Rotary Club of Watertown, he said, among other
things, as follows:
“Under the operation of that law (Esch-Cum
mins) we have seen a great recovery and improve
ment in railroad transportation. In the matter of
service the railroads are rendering a performance
heretofore unequaled, although the only fair test
of this law has been during the year 1923.
“During the past year the railroads have handled
the greatest volume of tonnage in their history,
and that in an expeditious and satisfactory manner.
“There was practically no shortage of cars or
equipment evident during the past heavy shipping
season, a condition which has not existed since the
war; there was no general embargoes at terminals
due to congestion and inability to move freight;
and there were no serious delays to shipments due
to lack of proper functioning of the transportation
machine, all of which means dollars in the pockets
of shippers.
“For these reasons I place adequate transpor
tation ahead of cost of transportation.
“To have our freight rates and passenger fares
cut in half would help us little if the service were
to be likewise curtailed and made uncertain and
unreliable. Ideal transportation is adequate trans
portation at he lowest possible cost.
“Everyone is more or less familiar with the con
dition of the railroads when turned back to their
owners after Federal Control. They were depleted
in finances, undermined morally and their operat
ing equipment reduced to a point of famine.
“Tonnage offered the railroads for transportation
has increased so rapidly that constant additions to
equipment are necessary to meet the growing de
mand.
“Very little equipment was added during the 26
months of Federal Control and the existing equip
ment was permitted to deteriorate.
“Drastic action was necessary to recover from
this condition and such action was accomplished by
purchasing and putting into service over 4,200
locomotives and over 200,000 new freight cars dur
ing the year 1923.
“That is the principal reason why we did not
suffer from car shortage during the past year.”
This statement by Mr. Wigton pertaining to the
Transportation Act (commonly known as the Esch.
Cummins Law) is so interesting that we are giving
our patrons an opportunity to read it.
