Ugly Fire to Control

Friday afternoon fire broke out in
the living rooms occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Ashland in the Hotel Fort
ney big stone barn, Threatening the en-
tire structure, which would have gone
but for the solid fire walls extending
through the same. As il was, those
portions owned by Torger Fortney and
Thos. p, Thompson were badly dam
aged in the second story and roof Nels
Solverson's west section ofthe big barn
vas not injured Earl Truesdale, who
occupied that part OF the structure suf
fered the loss of several buggies and
other personal property Besides dam
age to barn, Torger Fortney lost his
complete outfit of screen sash and
doors for the hotel. Messrs. Fortney,
Thompson and Truesdale are protected
by ample insurance to meet their losses.
Mr.. Ashland, who lost most of his
household effects, is uninsured
The fire was an ugly one to reach and
for that reason the department was
long, but persistent and vigilant in con-
quering the flames.

How Cold Affects the Kidneys

Avoid taking cold if your kidneys are
sensitive. Cold congests the kidneys,
throws too much work upon them, and
weakens their action. Serious kidney
trouble and even Bright's disease may
result Strengthen your kidneys, get
rid of the pain and soreness, build them
up by the timely use of Foley Kidney
Pills. Tonic in action, quick in results.
