A SAFE TEST!
ror tnose who are in need ot a
remedy for kidney troubles and back
ache, it is a good plan to try Doan's
Kidney Pills. They are strongly
recommended by Plattsmouth people.
Ask your neighbor!
E. M. Buttery, 10th and Walnut
streets, Plattsmouth. says: "It didn't
require very long use of Doan's Kid
ney Puis to prove to me that they
are fine. A pain would catch me
hrough my hips so I could hardly
raise a shovel or coal. There was
also, at times, a lameness across my
loins. I had reason to believe that
nese trouoies were causea irom a
disordered condition of the kidneys
and hearing Doan's Kidney Pills so
highly spoken of, I got some. They
gave me quick relief and the relief
warrants me In speaking of the rem
edy in the most favorable terms."
Mr. Buttery gave the above state
ment June 11, 1906, and on May 12,
1920, he added: "It has been a good
many years since I have had the kid
ney trouble which I told of in - my
former statement of 1906. My cure
is a permanent one, but I still think
Doan's Kidney Pills are fine and 1
am glad to recommend them to
others."

simply ask for a kidney remedy get

MAY INVOKE REFER
ENDUM ON 3 LAWS
Independent Voter's League Prepar
ing to Make Fight on H. E. 19,
H. R. 617 and S. F. 305.
The Independent Voters' league, a
state-wide organization, has issued a
call for a meeting Monday night at
the Grand hotel for submitting II.
K. 617 and S. V. P.0 and a section
of H. R. 193 to the people of Ne
braska under the referendum law.
The call issued by the league fol
lows:
"Tha legislature passed three bills
that are in particular offensive to
the people. 1
"House roll No. 103 provides that
no new bank shall be established un
less, in the language, of the statutes,
it can be conclusively shown that the
public necessity, convenience and ad
vantage will be promoted by permit
ting such proposed bank to engage
in business. This makes a dead letter
of the co-operative law, for of course,
since nearly all villages and cities
are well blessed with, banking fa
cilities unless it can he shown that
public necessity demands the estab
lishment of any new bank.
"House roll No. G17. commonly
known as the anti-picketing bill
makes it a criminal offense for strik
ers to parade in front, of 4he place of
business of the firm or corporation
for which they worked and provides
heavy penalties for annoying or per
sistently talking to striKe-oreaKers.
fathered by the Omaha Business
Mpn's association. The bill has for
its purpose the weakening of labor's
remedy against industrial iyrann.
"Senate file No. 30", provides that
every country voier imii. ktio..
with the county clerK ami give 111s or
her oath as to his or her party affil
iation. The county cierK is uirecicu
to refuse to register a voter who
cannot make a satisfactory explana
tion why he or she wishes to affiliate
with n certain party. Anotner pro
vision of the bill practically bars all
members of the non-partisan league
from participating in the primary
election." j
The independent voters' league 1
was organized last winter at Lincoln
and claims to have among its mem
bers fanners affiliated with the non
partisan league, the farmers' union
and other Nebraska agricultural or
ganizations, members of union labor
bodies and progressive voters gener
ally. Following its formation, a
program was mapped out for the 1921
legislature to follow. The league at
that time went on record as against
the party circle 'on the ballot and
against the closed primary. It is es
timated that if the referendum is in
voked by the league that it "will re
quire under the law the names of
about 40,000 voters on the petitions.
