WOMAN'S WORST DANGER.

No woman with unsound kidneys can
be healthy. Sick kidneys, in fact, cause
the majority of women s troubles.
But there is no need to get down
hearted if you suffer constant backache,
WEAKNESS, bearing pains, sick
headaches, etc. Doan's Kidney Pills
have brought new life and strength to
thousands sof women afflicted in this
way.
It is easy to tell if your kidneys are
the cause of your ailments. Backache
itself is only the aching Of the kidneys
when congested and infamed. You
feel it in the back because the kidneys
are in the small Of the back. The blad-
der and urinary tubes get swollen,
crowding the delicate female organs
near by, and causing many of the pc
culiar pains thought to be female
troubles.
Sick headaches, dizzy spells, nervous
ness, irritability, neuralgia and rheu-
matte pains, weak eyes, palpitation of
the heart, ETC., are caused by the reten-
tion in the blood Of poisons that the
kidneys should filter out and pass off in
the urine
Urinary disorders are sure signs of
kidney sickness. If the urine contains

stringy settings, if passages are, too
frequent, or scanty, or painful, the
kidneys need quick attention.
Doan s Kidney Pills are made of4pure
roots and herbs that have direct heal
ing action on the kidneys. They soothe,
cleanse and stimulate, rouse the kid
neys to action, and drive the kidney
poisons out of the body. They remove
the cause and cure permanently. Many
women of this city have been cured
and gladly tell of it.

from kidney difficulty that was ag-
gravated by every cold that settled in

PROMINENT CLUBS ARE
READY TO OPEN AGAIN

Quarters This Week

The Bohemian Club is moving into

Thursday of this week. 1t is probable
that the dining room will be opened

be arranged before next Saturday
Among the many messages of sym-
pathy received by the club Immediate

The Union League Clubs new home,
corner of Sacramento and Franklin
streets, will be occupied by the league
this week. This will prove a great
convenience to members residing in
San Francisco and also to members
who live elsewhere in California. One
advantage of considerable importance
will be meeting place for party COM

ADVOCATES THE CLOSING
OF COMMERCIAL STREET
Widening of Thoroughfare Would
Seriously Encroach Upon Valuable
PrODerty IT Is Claimed

The following communication has
been received regarding the advisa-
bility of widening Commercial street:
To the Editor of The Call: Kindly per-
NIT me to call your attention to an error
in the article which appeared in your
paper under the heading of the location
OF Chinatown and its beauty In this
article you state that I want Marchant
street closed, when it should have read
Commercial street. This error l con-
slider of vast importance. for the reason
that the committee of forty and the COM
munity at large may think I have a self
interest in the matter am MT for an
asylum. The fact is that my suggestion
was considered good for the following
reasons
First-Commercial street never was of
ing the block between Sacramento and
Clay streets. Its frontage is of no great
value and it would not be expensive to
the city to close the same
Second-As proposed, to widen Com
mercial street to 96 feet, would destroy
the entire district. for it would leave but
80 feet from Sacramento to Commercial
Clay. The folly of this is apparent.
While the 35 feet gained by closing Com
mercial street and added to Sacramento,
Clay or Washington would make either
of them broad and useful street
l personally favored Washington street
for two reasons-it connects with Mont
gomery avenue, which is broad street
and needs an outlet. and the Government
buildings are on Washington street.
therefore hope you will correct the state
ment in SO far as ] am concerned. Yours
truly, CHARLES HARRIS.

Where the relics of the early SOS once
stood, modern buildings will rise in the
restoration of San Francisco. This is
particularly true about the wholesale
district. Where antiquated. tumble down
sheds served as warehouses, new sub
stantial structures will rise. DR.. Morris
Hertzstein has set a type for the new
wholesale district. The plans have al
ready been accepted.
DR.. Hertzstein's new building is a six
story warehouse to be erected at the
corner of Broadway and Battery streets
The structure will have a framework of
steel and will be built of reinforced con-
crete. 1t will replace cluster of wooden
rheds that formerly occupied the site.
The work on the new structure will be
done by the Ferrolite Company, archi-
tects and constructors. The building will
cost over $4,000. 1t will occupy 6S feet
on Battery street and IT'S on Broadway.
This warehouse is only one of a score
that will be erected in the district in the
near future. When the New San Fran
cisco begins to materialize. this neighbor-
hood, that was the oldest, will be the
most modern and up-to-date.

BELIEVES THE CITY NEEDS
MANUFACTURING CONCERNS

To the Editor of the Call:
Referring to your editorial of today
headed Business First" / beg to take a
slight issue with you in this, that instead
Of being difference between the business
men and the Burnham committee ii seems
to me to be a difference between the
owners (and would-be owners) of sky
scrapers and the committee of forty on
widening of the various streets. If the
city was as well represented by manufac-
turing concerns as the Eastern factories
are by their agents, who largely occupy
the skyscrapers and who do not distrib-
ute a dollar to the laboring classes in
the city, it would not take long to fill UP
the deserted streets with establishments.
In a few words. what the city wants is
manufacturing establishments and not
manufacturers agents TO fill UP skyscrap-
ers.
What is wanted also just now are
streets wide enough at different points to
make fire limits breaks, numerous
large cisterns connected with the
bay by large concrete conduits re-
inforced or strengthened with wire
ropes to conduct plenty of water
from the bay to those cisterns. as
well as other means of fighting fires in
case earthquakes break the castiron
mains and let the water seek its level
Then the capital that builds A. or C
class buildings adapted to use of factories
and warehouses and stores of from three
TO flye or six stories will take courage
and provide the necessary buildings.
But if no better facilities for contending
with the elements are provided than were
had before the fire, it will likely be some
time before the falling walls are cleared
up and even as good as they were. Chi
cago. Boston and Baltimore only had fire
TO contend with. We have more, and we
should adopt stronger methods of com
batting it-both in earthquake proof
though more Costly pulf1In35s and the
best methods of fire fighting: Then we
may look for capital to take bold and not
till then. Apparently skyscrapers are not
much affected by either fire or earth
quake, but the owners and would-be own
ers seem to think they constitute the busi-
ness men of the city. about a dozen. and
quite enough to fill the requirements for
some years to come. Their principal busi-
ness is first to get them built, put in a
rent collector to gather in the shekels
and then go to Europe. The plans of the
committee of forty will go.

DARK CORNERS
nited Railroads Will
Probably Give Tenn
porary Light.

Citizens who are compelled to be
in the downtown burnt district after
dark. especially in the vicinity of
Third and Market, Fourth and Mar
ket and other corners in that locality
are experiencing a great deal of trou-
bic in getting on the right cars. This
is due TO the fact that at the afore-
said corners there are no lights. This
makes it impossible for the belated
passengers to decipher the destina-
tions painted on the front of the cars.
Many complaints have been made
about the absence of light at these
corners. but the situation remains
unchanged.
The officials of the United Rail-
roads, wnen interviewed on the sub
ject, stated that no official complaint
has been made as yet as TO the dark
ness. For this reason the matter has
not been taken up.
What action will be taken cannot
definitely be said, but 1t is probable.
the officials say, that the company
will shortly make the same provision
for the dark corners as it has for the
corner of Eddy and Market streets,
