These days most people work under pressure, worry more, sleep less. This strain on body and brain makes physical fitness easier to lose—harder to regain. Today’s tense living, lowered resistance, overwork, worry—any of these may affect normal kidney action. When kidneys get out of order, excess acids and wastes remain in the system. Then backache, disturbed rest, that “tired-put” heavy- headed feeling often follow. That’s the time to take Dodd’s Kidney Pills, Dodd’s stimulate the kidneys to normal action. Then you feel better—sleep better—work belter. Ask for Dodd’s Kidney Pills al any drug counter. Hi Santa's Coming I dV SATURDAY 2 to 4 p.m. KIDDIES!
