Just what to do when the kidneys
are affected, is question that con-

kidneys neglected in childhood lead
to lifelong suffering. People Of ad-s

There is one remedy that acts di-

their worldwide fame to the fact
that they cure sick kidneys and cure
them permanently. Follow the ex-

TEN HUNDRED LAMPS

OF THE LIGHT AND POWER
COMPANY SHINES JME.

one Thousand electric lights bIazed
out in dazzling effulgence last night
when the new sign of the Missoula
Light & Water company was turned
on for the first time. The sign is the
biggest in the city and Eliminates
the front of the new quarters Of the
company in the Masonic temple. 1t
attracted much attention last night
and will be one of the landmarks op
the city. There are 800 lamps on each
side Of the big sign AMI it light
brilliantly the block on either side of
its location on East Cedar street. In
a square pane! at the top of the sign
Is the name of the company in block
letters. Below that. reading vertically.

sign and is an important addition to
the night attractions of the city.
We expect to occupy our new
quarters by the first of September
said Superintendent Inch last night.
We are planning to make these of
fees attractive and convenient and all
nj the affairs OF the three bfdHtHe@
of our business will be handled there.
There will be no delay in getting
things shaped up after the finishing
of the rooms is completed, and the
contractors are making good progress
with the building. / think we are
going to have pleasant headquarters.
and the sign is the beginning of the
cndcavor that we are making to bring
our offices to the state Of convenience
which we hope they will possess"
The sign certainly fulfilled its mis-
sion last night during the time it was
turned on, and the thousand lights
combined to make an illumination that
il hard to beat. The location of the
light company'S offices marks the be
ginning of the transformation OF
West Cedar street from residence
thoroughfare to Il business street The
cowell-Dixon building will be the next
important influence in attracting
business to this street. and with the
