MIKES WORK EASIER
Alaska People Are Pleased to Learn
How It Is Dona.
It's pretty hard to attend to duties
With a constantly aching back;
With annoying urinary disorders.
Doan's Kidney Pills make work
easier.
They euro backache.
They cure every kidney 111.
P. A. Johnson, 4840 South I St.,
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills Just aa highly
to.t ay as I did several years ago.
For quite a period of time, I suffered
from kidney trouble, the secretions
from my kidneys being verj Irregular
In passage and causing me much an
toyance. When Doan's Kidney Pills
wore brought to my attention, I pro
cured a box and their use entirely
disponed of my trouble. I have had
no return attack since and know that
the cure Doan's Kidney Pill* perform
ed was a permanent cure."
PIERCES INTELLECT WITH PRINTER'S INK
It is not what you pay for wfiat |
you get, but what you get for what
you pay, that counts.
If you paid $100.00 for a suit of:
"Built to your moassrc" clothes, yon
would get what you paid for.
In addition to the $100.00 worth
of wear. $100.00 worth of fit awl
style, you would get the "Satisfac
tion" of knowing that your suit is
different in pattern and that It was
"built to your own peculiar figure,"
and after you figure It all out, what
have you paid for the perfect fit,
your choice of an unlimited atock of:
patterns and fabrics, and last but
not least, "The Satisfaction." Why,
you spend that amount in loat energy
and fretting over your shabby clothes
every month.
Let us build you a suit and then
you'll know what real clothes satis- i
faction means, and you won't have
to pay $100.00 for a suit either.
