ADDED EVIDENCE OP AMERICAN
PROSPERITY.
Every day brings evidence that the
Amercian public are willing to pay
for the things the people really want.
For many months newspaper and
magazine publishers have been hard
pressed, because of the tremendous
increase in the price of white paper.
In many cities one cent newspaper
have raised their price to two cents
without any appreciable falling off of
circulation, but the most striking ex
ample of the public’s willingness to
pay an increased price for a better
product occured last month, when the
publishers of Cosmopolitan, America’s
Greatest Magazine, determined that,
instead of cutting the quality of the
magazine, they would print an even
better magazine and increase the
price.
Over a million people have been
buying the Cosmopolitan for many
years at 15c a copy, and, wtih the
greatly improved February issue more
people paid 20 cents for Cosmopoli
tan than had ever in its history pur
chased the magazine at 15 cents.
How such a magazine can be pro
duced, sold for 20 cents and pay a
profit to the producers is a modern in
dustrial problem, especially when the
editor has among his writers. Gover
nor Morris, Robert W. Chambers, John
Galsworthy, Jack London, Owen John
son. Edith Wharton, Elizabeth Robins,
Amelie Rives and Elinor Glvn. The
magazine is profusely illustrated by
the greatest of modern artists, and
| its tremendous sale is only an added
proof of the American public’s thor
ough appreciation of a quality pro
duct at any price.

DANGERS OF A COLD.
Loup City People Will do Well to
Heed Them.
Many bad cases of kidney troub!e
result from a cold or chill. Congested
kidneys fall behind in filtering the poi
son-laden blood and backache, head
ache, dizziness and disordered kidney
action follow. Don’t neglect a cold.
Use Doan’s Kidney Pills at the first
sign of kidney trouble. Follow this
Loup City resident’s example:
Mrs. Mary Lofholm. Loup City,
says: “I had been having some trou
ble from my kidneys and occasional
attacks of backache. Every little cold
I caught seemed to settle on my kid
neys and make me worse. Two boxes
of Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I got
at Swanson’s Drug Store, ended the
trouble and I haven’t been bothered
since.”
Price 50 cents at all dealers. Don f
simpl ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Lofholm had. Foster-Milburn
Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
The Chicago Herald aptly remarks j
that “personal opinion has a thousand j
voices, but real patriotispi only one.
