Keep The
Kidneys Well.
Health is Worth Saving, and
Some Petoskey People
Know How to Save
II.

Many Petoskey people take their
lives in their hands by neglectng the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are response
BILE for vast amount Of suffering and
i'll health, but there is no need to suf-
fer or to remain In danger when all
diseases and aches and pains due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and per-
manently cured by the use Of Doan S
Kidney Pills. Here is a PetoskeY
citizens recommendation.
David Hastings, blacksmith OF 325
Water street, Petoskey, Mich, says:
Mrs Hastings has used Doan's Kid
ney Pills with great benefit. This
remedy completely relieved her of an
annoying weakness OF the kidneys to-
gether with severe backaches and
pains in the small of the back. Since
we got Doan's Kidney Pills at the
Central Drug Store it has been a
pleasure for us to advise Others who
suffer from complaints similar TO
those Mrs. Hastings TO give the RENE
dy a trial. We can vouch for the
merits of Doan's Kidney Pills in cur
ing backache and kidney trouble"

LIVE WIRES MEAN LIGHT
WIRES.

The Waco Tribune says: "lllumi-
nate your store, bank and office
fronts at night with electric designs.
Naco is the darkest town (of its
size) at night in the state. 1t pays
to make the business streets attrac-
tive in the early part of the night.
Visitors notice and admire it. Turn
on the light. 1t is winter now, and
business will be good from now on. :"
BY way of comment the Dallas
News adds: 1T is a suggestion wor-
thy of consideration and adoption.
Electricity is comparatively cheap,
and artistic illumination carries
both benefit and satisfaction to the
townspeople and the stranger within
the gates. Besides, a well-lighted
city offers fewer snug harbors for
hold-up men, a species that has be-
come entirely too promiscuous in all
the larger towns in and out of Tex
as.
We would like very much TO leave
Waco in complete enjoyment of this
self-assumed notoriety, but being a
stickler for giving the devil his
dues" we can not permit this charge
to stand against the Central Texas
city. Waco is larger than Waxaha-
chic, but in proportion to the size of
the two "burgs" we've got her skin

of the comparative cheapness of cleo

Editor Daily Light: ai
Will you please allow space in
your columns for statement as to
my position in the mayoralty contest.
In the first place, | wish to say
that ! was one of the citizens who
signed the resolutions published in
your editorial of the 18th, and l full
| ly endorse them. But | want to say
further that l did not endorse the
further action of the meeting at
which the resolutions were passed,
and did not vote to ask Mr.. Lasswell
to become candidate for mayor;
not because | did not consider him
a fit man for the position, for | do
not believe we have any better citi-
zen than A Lasswell, but because
the meeting was not called for that
purpose and because personally, |
had wanted to see S. P. Langsfori
mayor of WaXahachie for several
years.
Anyone conversant with the af-
fairs of the city know that there is
perhaps not another citizen in Wax
ahachie who has so faithfully and
unselfishly served the people as S.
Up. Langsford More of the burden of
the city government has been upon
him than any one man. Had he been
| paid adequately for his services we
might turn him down without feel
| ing that we had done wrong, but as
! it is, we cannot afford to deny him
| the honor he seeks An endorsement
| is due him for past services and his
record is sufficient to guarantee that
| the city's interests will be safe in
| his hands. AS to criticisms of the
past acts of the city government, go
| to him personally and If he cannot
| justify his own votes, and you think
; he wilfully, or carelessly acted to
! the detriment of your welfare then
| vote for his opponent,
| believe he will be as progressive
as is consistent with business prin-
ciples, and the interests of our city
will be safe in his hands and that
we owe it to him as a reward for
past faithful services to elect him

This is because Vinol is a genuine
tonic and body builder which con-
tains peptonate of iron together with
every one of the bodybuilding med
icinal elements of cod liver oil but
without one drop of oil to upset the
stomach and retard its work. Vinol
acts directly on the stomach, creates

make rich red blood, healthy flesh

DEMAND FOR LUMBER.
Wood Still Principal Material Used
in Building Construction.

Washington, Nov. l9.-Great as
| the advance in fireproof construc-
ton has been during the last ten
years there has been no let-up in
the use of lumber, and both archi-
tects and builders find themselves so
depeddent on wood today that they
| are compelled to admit that the
forests of the country are likely to
be the chief source of building ma
terial for many years to come.
THE use of cement, terra Gotta,
brick and stone, with frame work
of steel. will make it possible soon
! to do away with wood entirely is a
remark often heard, and, indeed,
when one stands on lower Broad
way and looks up at the towering
skyscrapers, the statement seems to
contain much truth. AS a matter OF
fact, however, the popular idea that
fire-proof materials will do away with
the need of using lumber in a COM
paratively few years is very erron-
eous one. All of the various fire.
proof materials going into the APP
proved construction Of the more
substantial buildings are used in
greater quantities now than the
world dreamed of a few years ago,
| yet the heavy demand for lumber
continues.
That wood predominates is shown
jby the annual building records. OF
the permits used for buildings cree
ted last year, approximately 81 per
cent were constructed Of wood, and
the remaining 80 per cent of Are re-
sisting material, according to re-
port issued by the Geological sur
lvey on operations in forty-nine lead
ing cities Of the country. These fig
ures are the more significant when
| 1t is realized that they only represent
the building activities in the largest
cities they do not take into account
the construction of dwellings, stores
and other buildings in the thousands
of small cities and towns scattered
over and not included in the forty
nine cities on which the reckoning
| is made.
In towns and small cities wood is
usually the predominating building
| material and 1t is safe to say that II
the statistics had included figures
for all places of whatever size, the
percentage of wooden construction
| would have been much greater
These figures, as a rule, are only for
the corporate limits, and the SUI
burbs of these cities have each very
large amounts to be added. The cost
also, is relatively higher in these
cities than in towns nearer the
base of the supply.
