That is just. whaL we want, to talk with you. "Plow Ssnse." We do
not want you to buy any plow on our recommendatian alone, although
to any one who has dealt with us that would be sufficient, we want
you to make a Personal investigation of the merits of the various plows
offered. Begin right now by sending for a Newell Sanders Circular.
The Newel Sanders Disc plow has long since taken its place at the front
rank of Plows, it is durably constructed and is like all the goods we
handle, a leader in its line. It may be changed from one to two or three
disc in e very short time and with very little labor. Besides plowing it
pulverizes the soil better than the Mouldboard plow.
These plows weigh less, run lighter, last longer and do be tter work than
others. Don't take our word for it. Investigate. It is never too dry to
plow with a Newel Sanders. It easily breaks up the hard pan formed by
other plows. Before you forget, write for that circular now.

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by (her-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood;
It used to be considered that only
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
tracea to tne kianeys,
but ' now modern
science proves that
nearly all diseases
have their begiuniug
in the disorder of
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood
that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneysare weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If you are sick, you can make no mis
take by first doctoring your kidneys.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,' the great
kidney remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases, and is sold
on its merits by all PZfEZ-
