Newport Citizens.
Look for the cause o: bac
ache.
To be cured you must know
the cause.
If it’s weak kidneys
You must set the kidneys to
working right.
A resident of this vicinity
shows you how.
Mrs. E. M. Baker, W. Pleas
ant St., Searcy, Ark., say-:
Kidney trouble fastened itself
upon me in a mysterious way
and I ran down so rapidly that I
was in bad shape before I real
ized it. I had backache and
dizzy spells. The kidney secre
tions were also in bad shape and
my joints swelled. I used
Doan’s Kidney Pills and they
soon gave me relief. I willing
ly confirm my former endorse
ment of this remedy.”
Price 50c, at all dealers.
Don’t simply ask for a kidney
remedy—get Doan’s Kidney
Pills—the same that Mrs. Ba-;

Letter To Br. T. S. Stephens,
Newport, Arkansas.
Dear Sir:—Three churches in
Baldwinsville, N. Y., have had
their first lesson in Devoe.
Messrs. Osterhout & Lock
wood painted the Presbyterian
parsonage; estimated 30 gallons
and took only 22.
Messrs. Singerland & Shutter
painted the Episcopal church;
estimated 40 gallons; took 28.
Same painters painted the
Catholic church; estimated 50
gallons; took 39.
Of course, they estimated
from what they had been using.
The saving in paint and work is
$4 or $5 a gallon. Total saving
on three jobs $125 to $150—the
painting costs two or three times
as much as the paint, you know.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & CO.,
New York and Chicago.
P. S. —Johnson-Avera Hard
ware Company sell our paints.

Did You Ever Wash Clothes
in the old fashioned way with
wooden washtubs?
Perhaps that is still your method
and you look forward to each wash
day with delight. Well, hardly!
A set of 'Standard" laundry
trays would mean an orderly laun
dry, one of more inviting appear
ance and easier laundering and your
satisfaction would not be lessened
by the high class workmanship
which characterizes the work we do.
