FLOUR TOO HIGH Down Goes the Price Why the high cost of flour when the large western and northwestern mills are delivering flour freight prepaid to Indiana points at a price ranging from $10.65 to sll.lO per Bbl., and retails from $13:00 to $14.00 per Bbl., a difference of $2.35 to $2.90 per Bbl.? If high price has anything to do with the flour, this western product certainly taught to be a mighty fine pdece of goods. THERE IS NO ARGUMENT. The farmer ships his wheat out at $2.-12' per bushel and the flour jobber ships it back to you exactly at the rate of from $2.77 to $3.11 per busheb LISTEN Commencing SATURDAY, DEC. I4TH We are going to sell direct to consumer our High Grade BLUE RIBBON HARD WHEAT FLOUR at $2.75 per 49-jpound sack, or $ll.OO per Bbl.

For Many a Rensselaer Household. To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed—to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous uninary disorders, is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. The following advice of one who has suffered will prove helpful to hundreds of Rensselaer readers. Mrs. R. E. Scott, Van Rensselaer St., Rensselaer, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills whenever my kidne yshave become disordered and I give them Credit for the excellent health I now enjoy. By putting my kidneys in good condition, Doan’s have saved me from the suffering I used to have from the steady ache across my kidneys, pains in my back and other symptoms of kidney trouble. Doan’s are fine and I advise anyone troubled as I was to use them.” \ Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doha’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Sccott had.
