IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Redwood Falls Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness, when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t
cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Redwood
Falls people testify to permanent
cures.

obtain motive power for the operation
of our line, although at the same time
disc1aiming any desire for the power
itself.
During that entire period we have
been vainly endeavoring to reach an
adjustment of the difficulties which
have been put in our path by the city
of Los Angeles, and pursuant thereto
have made offers of adjustment which
were so plainly in excess of anything
that could be reasonably expected of
even the most patriotic citizen of Los
Angeles that we are sure the general
public will be most surprised to know
of their objection, when the various de-
tails are made public in the course Of
time.
IF you will pardon us for saying So
il seems strange and incongruous that
the city of Los Angeles, through its
aqueduct counsel, should constantly
visit personal abuse upon individuals
identified with our enterprise and In
terpose obstacles of all sorts to the
contamination of our plans, and wholly
fail to make any such hostile demon
stration against an individual who is

Ruving a piano is usually a once-in-

he way--you should get the best at
tbe lowest prices. The Geo. j. Birkel

No matter whether you buy a Stein
1vay at $3.50 or a Marshall at $225, you
get a dollars worth of piano quality
for every dollar you invest. Even at
the regular prices, the pianos handled
nv the Geo. j. Birkel Co. are better
values than can be obtained elsewhere.
In this closing out sale of new pianos

ing six agencies, which we are going
tn discontinue. We find that business
conditions demand that we handle
fewer agencies-and we shall in future
confine our efforts to selling the -Four

mann. Every other new piano must

PUTS STOP TO

The law is drastic and is intended
to do AVA with the system of ad-
vance information concerning proba-
bllities Of certain horses winning GER
tain races.
The important provision is as fol-
lows:
1t shall be unlawful for any per-
son, firm or corporation to print,
publish, distribute, circulate, sell
or give away in the city of Los
Angeles any form chart, or any
chart sheet, circular, list or pub

ner, OF the result or probable re-
suit, of any horse race or other
race or contest thereafter to take
place, or any tip, advice or infor-
nation as to how to bet on any
such horse race or other race or
contest.
The penalty provided is, upon con-
Viction, not more than $500 fine or inn

diately after Mayor Harper signs it
and 1t Is published. The mayor has in
timated that he will sign it promptly.
