solutely necessary to find some relief.
Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Rem-

ago to help equalize the work of both
kidneys and liver. How successful
It has been Is evidenced by its wide-'

by an Immense number of apprecia-

ears have pat it to the severest tests
with the most satisfactory results.
The experience of -multitudes Is
sometimes worth more than the wis-

Hence if you have liver or kidney

call upon your druggist for Warner's

and tke man in the taxi believes he is paying for
the futile spinning of the wheels. The meter on

He believes the taximeter is registering a charge against
him for the useless spinning of the rear wheels and the result-

Sterchi Leads
WHEN you cant find what you are
looking for in the furniture line else'
where always come to Sterchi' s. Here you
will find it. In fad never buy an article of
furniture till you have seen our stock and got-
ten our prices. That will be a mighty good
rule to follow at all times when you are con-
templating buying furniture. It will save
' you money in most instances'
Mm Stock and Price
YOU can always find the largest slock
of furniture in El Paso at Sterchi's.
That's why it will always pay you to make
that little resolution about "never buying
furniture till you have seen Sterchi." You
can get the biggest and best stock 1 select
from and you can gel the lowest prices on
what you desire to purchase. Our low prices
are persistent and continuous. Nothing up
today and down tomorrow. Rock bottom
prices ALWAYS prevail.

not deny it. But We know whereof we de-

Sterchi buys furniture in far larger
quantities than any other furniture dealer in
the southwest.
Sterchi in El Paso is one of thirteen
Sterchi stores which are backed up by four
large Sterchi factories.
Sterchi does both a wholesale and a re-
tail business thus being undoubtedly able to
make the lowest prices.
