No town ever went ahead without

I A lazy farmer allows his crops to

A lazy townsman allows his town to
run to weeds literally en 1 figura-

Let's cub down the weeds.
Let s cultivate our ground.
I heie is a reason f >r our town be-

Let us study o ir town a little.
Kind out why we are on the map:
why you and 1 and our neighbors set-
ied In thjs spot instead of some other.
: In making this inquiry we probably
will discover reasons why other per-
sons, other business men, would like
to live and do business in our town.
We* will discover our advantag s.
After we know our town, let's tell
otbere: let's pass the information
around; send it abroad.
Our private business is important
and must not be neglected, but our
general business Interests are insep-
arably associated with the welfare of
the town.
WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS.
Doan s Kidney Pills have done great
service for people who work in Nor-
man. Most Norman people work ev
try day in some straided, unnatural
position—bending constantly over a
desk riding on jolting wagons or
cars doing laborious housework; lift-
ing, reaching or pullibg, or'trying
tbe back in a hundred aud one other
ways. All these strains tend to wear
weaken and injure the kidneys until
they fall behind in their work of fil-
tering tbe poisons from the blood.
Doan's Kidney PifU cure siek kidneys
put new strength in bid backs. Nor-
man cures prove it.
L. Wilson, E. Eufaula St.. Nor-
man, Oklahoma, says: "My work
brihgs a strain on my bjic'< and kid-
neys and no doubt caused my kidney
complaint. The pains in the small
of my back often become so acute
that I couln hardly cnluru them and
to turn or stoop quickly sent tharp
twinges through my body. The kid-
ney s cretions were also too frevuent
in passage. Learning of Doan's Kid-
ney I'ills. I obtained a supply at the
Pioneer Drug Store and the contents
of two boxes restored m3 to go >d
health, removing the back ache and
strengthening my kidneys. I think
highly of tills remedy."
