Without Painful Backache
As we get older, stress and strain, over-
exertion, excessive smoking or exposure to
cold sometimes slows down kidney func-
tion. This may lead many folks to com-
plain of nagging backache, loss of pep and
energy, headaches and dizziness. Getting
up nights or frequent passages may result
from minor bladder irritations due to cold,
dampness or dietary indiscretions.
If your discomforts are due to these
causes, don't wait, try Doan's Pills, a mild
diuretic. Used successfully by millions for
over 60 years. While these symptoms may
often otherwise occur, it's amazing how
many times Doan's give happy relief—
help the 15 miles of kidney tubes and filters
flush out waste. Get Doan's Pills today!

We can truly quote the poet this
morning—"The Frost Spirit."
"He comes—he comes—the Frost
Spirit comes!
You may trail his foot-steps now
On the naked woods and blasted
fields,
and the brown hills withered
brow.
He has smitten the leaves of the
prayed trees where their pleas-
ant green come forth,
And the winds, which follow
where-ever he goes
Have shaken them down to earth.

... cooking was only half the chore
Cooking on those old-fashioned stoves
was difficult enough, but cooking was only
half the chore. There was wood to chop,
fires to build—and the inevitable bucket
full of ashes to carry away. What a dif-
ference today . . . when natural gas pro-
vides instant heat at the
turn of a knob. A new
AUTOMATIC GAS
RANGE is an asset to the
smartest kitchen. It makes
cooking easier, faster, cleaner and cooler
... at surprisingly low cost. See the out-
standing new models today . . . wherever
good gas appliances are sold.
The companies which make up the natural
gas business have had an important part
in bringing business prosperity to the
Gulf South area. The money they pay out
in payrolls and royalties, the money they
spend with local merchants for supplies,
the taxes they pay . . . ultimately work
their way into the channels of trade. That
helps to make business better for every-
one—everywhere.
