For those who are in need
of a remedy for kidney trou
bles and backache, it is a gooc
plan to try Doan’s Kidney Pills
They are strongly recommend
ed by people in this vicinity.
Mrs- E. M. Baker, W. Pleas
ant St., Searcy, Ark., says: “1
had a bad ache over my kid
neys and was subject to dizzy
spells. My kidneys didn’t act
right and 1 also suffered from
swelling of my lower joints
Doan’s kidney pills were rec
ommended to me and I got a
box and took them according
to directions. I received grea;
relief from Doan’s and consid
er them fine for kidney trou
ble.”
OVER SIX YEARS LATER
Mrs. Baker added: Doan’:
Kidney Pills have practically
cured me of kidney trouble
but 1 use them occassionally a:
a preventive.
I have always had great con
fidence in Doan’s and am glac
to recommend them” GOc ai

EVERYBODY JOIN IS
SLOGAN FOR NEWARK
Therefore No Quota Has Been
Assigned for Red Cress
Christmas Roll Call
i
i Fixing quotas has been such
1 a familiar feature of previous
campaigns', whether to sell
Liberty Bonds or to raise wel
fare and relief funds, that the
failure to assign a quota to
j Newark in the Red Cross
Christmas Roll -Call is arous
ing discussion.
The reason given by the lo
cal Red Cross chapter is log
ical. The Red Cross now is so
widely known and so strongly
approved that the goal of the
Christmas Roll Call is nothing
short of “Universal Member
ship." In ether words the cen
sus figures will be Newark’s
quota, as they will be for the
whole nation
I he week of of December
lb-23 will see this apparently
formidable task accomplished,
because there will be an eager
spirt of co-operation. More
than 22,000,000 present mem
bers in tlm United States will
answer “Here” and it is the
hope of the Red Cross War
Council that treble or quad
ruple that number will join
and so permit a Christmas eve
|cable to Europe that the Am
erican people are solidly oe
| hind the Red Cross spirit.
The Red Cross Christmas
II Call is not an effort to
raise money, and no one in
Newark will be asked for con
tributions. The annual mem
bership dues amount to onlv
one dollar
Newark undoubtedly has as
many dollars for the Red
Cross as there are adults in its
population.

Dear Old Santa Claus:—I
am a little girl seven years
; old. I have been a good little
girl and have been picking
cotton. I want you to bring
me a little doll, a doll buggy,
some candy, apples and or
anges. My name is
MAMIE O’CONNOR.
The iwan wilh
money does not
fear adversity
nor poverty.

j
Poverty in old age slowly but surely ap
proaches every man who spends all he earns and
drifts into merciless debt.
While you have EARNING POWER open a
bank account. Your bank book will be guiding
light which will steer you away from failure and
poverty. You only need to open a bank account;
accumulating money will then be easy. Try it!
