I he nearest we have come to [ winter in The Dalles so f a r this! year, is a little sugar snow and ! a few Hurries of snow over on : the Klickital hills which are six I miles distance. I also picked some violets last Sunday. Ol course, I 'm not bragging on Or-egon, f o r we may yet get some winter, but even so, it won't last long.

L O W P I I People Tell How To Act Time.

Kidney diseases arc very danger-ous. They come on silently, gain ground rapidly, and cause thousands of deaths lhat could have been pre-vented by proper treatment in the beginning. Nature f^ives early warnings of kidney disease—-back-ache, twinges of pain when stoop-ing or lifting, heauaches and bladder disorders. If these symptoms are un-heeded. there is grave danger of Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills have earned a reputation for their effectiveness in kidney troubles, and are known and recommended the world over. Lowell testimony proves the merit of Doan's Kidney Pills to our readers.

Mrs. Julia Hildreth. Washington St., Lowell, says: "I got Doan's Kidney Pills from winegar's drug store when I was suffering f rom! backache that had troubled me for a j long time. I found them to be a line kidney medicine. They rid me of the aches and pains, regulated my kid-neys and did me good in every wav. My kidneys have since been nor-mal and my health has been bet-ter."

Price Mc at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney r e m e d y -get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Hildreth had. Foster-Mil-burn Co., Props., Buffalo N. V.

When Business Needs You Most, —Conserve Your Energy

When tuccett meant •training nerve force to the utmost

—when minutes given to your affairs are precious

—when your strength is the driving force of your store or factory or farm

—then you muit have a motor car.

A motor car saves valuable time—saves your vitality—during business hours.

And—after business hours—provides recreation and vigor—giving outdoor en-joyment that helps you in the daily battle.

The economy, durability, and mechanical perfection of the standardized Maxwell car have been proved so conclusively they are now accepted facts.

The Maxwell is the car without a peer for the man who is working under full steam.

Why children need the Victrola

It's a playmate to them. Keeps them out of miichief. Plays for them to dance or romp—or singi and tells them stories.

But it gives something greater than amusement. A Victrola in the home helps shape the spiritual artl mental growth of children! helps form their charac-ters and tastes, helps educate them. And it's a great help to every mother I

Is there a Victrola ia /our home ? Vou may think you can't aft »rd one, but we'll show you that you cln. You'll ssy you never hesrd of nore generoui terms thsnoun. Victrolss $15 to $400. Come In todsy snd btsr. sar/.
