NOT AN ISOLATED CASE.
Many Similar Cases Are Found In
Langd0n and Vicinity

This Langdon mans story given here
is not an isolated case by any means;
week after week, year after year, our
neighbors are telling similar good news:
G. Orion, harness dealer, Main street,
Langdon, North Dakota, says: II was
troubled by a steady ache over my kid
neys. If I lay in one position long the
trouble was more noticeable. 1t was also
difficult for me to stoop OF lift. I knew
that these troubles we're caused by dis
ordered kidneys, for the kidney secre-
tions we're too frequent in passage. On
hearing Doan's Kidney Pills so highly
spoken of, I was induced to try them and
was glad to find prompt and positive re-.
lief. After taking the contents OF four
boxes the pains in my back and other
symptoms of my trouble entirely disap-
peared, Only a few weeks ago, when I
again had need of a kidney medicine 1
took Doan's Kidney Pills and the results
we're just as satisfactory as before"

the regard with which the white man

tendent, who sponsored our representa-
ton in the Chicago meet in June. The
committee wishes the school to raise q

present owners are negotiating with
contractors to build homes on the
lots to offer for sale.
Numerous lots have recently been
sold at Sewaren by Max Goldberger.
One of the most important transac-
tions in the city was the transference
of the three story tenement at the
corner Of Broad and Divt-
sion streets, which was sold to Mo-
ses Siegel through Ryan and Schloss.
On the whole, the transactions of
the dealers has shown that real es-

OPERATIONS IN
BUILDING LINE
Why Buildings DoR't Reach
Over Three Stories.

Why does not someone start to
erect buildings more than three sto-
ries in height in this city? That is
a question that has often been asked.
Property owners answer by saying
there is no demand for them and 1t Is
even difficult to rent the third floor
Of some buildings in this city. New
Brunswick leads Perth Amboy in the
one respect that 1t has an eight story
commercial building, which Is a
credit to the city.
Office users are climbing but slowly
and that is a reason why a h1gh
building might prove a failure, own
ers and builders say. Up to the pres
ent time they have reached but the
second floor of office buildings III
town. A majority of them were on
the ground floor a few years ago..
Now they are on the second floor ana
in the course Of a year or two tney
may scramble to the third story
thereby shifting lodge headquarters
and meeting halls to a fourth or pos
sibly fifth floor.
Ground is to be broken s0On~or
two handsome commercial buildings.
One is for Samuel Mandel, to be
erected on the south side Of Smith
street just west of Mcclellan street.
1t will be two stories high, Of brick
construction and Is to cost about
$4,000.
The other is to be a home for the
Master Builders Association. 1t will
be three stories high and of fancy
bricy construction. 1t is to be sit
uated on the westerly side of Maple
street near Jefferson street.
