"My kidneys had never given me any trouble
until several years ago. don't know what was
the cause, but the trouble certainly made me feel
bad all over. The muscles of my back were
lame, and every time bent over, sharp pains
caught me. My kidneys were weak and had
to get up often. When I saw Doan's Kidney

should. That caused me considerable trouble
1t seemed that every muscle of my back ached,
and to move quickly was almost impossible.
Mornings my back was especially sore and lame
and went around with my hands pressed on
my back, trying to ease the pain. The trouble
didn't let up, but became worse day after day.
Fortunately heard about Doan's Kidney Pills
and tried them, and less than one box brought
me relief I kept on using them and before
long they put an end to the trouble"

permanent home committee Of the
club had secured an option on the
building now occupied by the North

outlined the plan by which the build
ing could be secured.
Mayor Emery said that the option
was for $50, 900, and that $4,000 would
be needed to remodel the building for
the use of the club. Three per cent
bonds could be issued to furnish the
money, he said.
Those who think the plan is good
one, raise their hands," said Sec. J. P.
Hardy, when Mayor Emery finished.
Every hand in the room was raised.

Each of these gentlemen has given
unsparingly of his time to club af-
fairs. and each is entitled to a full
measure of credit for club achieve
ments. That our relationship has-been
pleasant is evidenced from the fact
that l still have speaking acquaint-
ance with them all.
During these years the governing
body of your club has seen many
changes in it's personnel, it being evil
IDENTIFY an unwritten rule among the
affiliated associations, a representative
from each Of which constitutes the
executive committee, to pass the honor
and duty around among their mem
bers, thus giving many an opportunity
for intimate knowledge of an active
participation in the activities of the
club.
1t may not be amiss here to re-
mind you of the makeup of your
executive committee. 1t Is composed,
as you will remember, of one repre-
sentative from each affiliated body,
each body electing its own; the re-
tailers being the largest association
elects three, all the others one each.
This method of representation on
the governing body gives every BUSH
the clubs affairs. The committee
meets every Tuesday at noon, devot-
ing usually an hour and a half to the
business on hand. Apart from the
executive committee, there are no
standing committees, special commit
tees for specific functions have been
found to produce better results than
the old fashioned standing committee
whose title was usually graphic
description of its inertia.
Now a few words about the efforts

Publicity Efforts Fruitful.
It's publicity efforts for that year
were marked by letter writing cam
paign for wholesale drug, notion and
hardware house, and by a series of
sixty community welfare articles
published in The Fargo Forum. It
expressed it's interest in general pub
lie affairs by taking charge of the
Ohio Flood Sufferers fund, raising ST.
1850 for this purpose. 1t stimulated
interest in the Fargo Knitting mills,
arranged for and financed a series OF
summer Sunday band concerts, secur-
ed the widening of west Front street,
established the traffic bureau, aided in
the building of Fargo college stadium,
made the first contract for Northern
League club and assisted materially

Several new industries are promised
us for this year, two of which have al
ready been secured, viz wholesale
machinery house and wholesale plate
and window glass concern. Negotta-
tons arep ending with others, includ-
ing a diversity OF lines not at present
represented in Fargo.
Work in Great Variety.
The daily routine or the office finds
expression in very many channels. A
great deal of time is spent in taking
up such questions as that of better
mail service, better passenger train
service, refrigerator car service, and
many other kindred things pertaining
to transportation and mail. The re-
suits of this work have proved in the
past very satisfactory. For notable
example of real concrete results, we
might refer to the sleeping car service
established between Fargo and Aber-
deem. and the. increased refrigerator
car service out of Fargo.
We are at present working on a
proposition to prevent the reduction
of the mail service on the Fargo-Or-
tonville line. In general way,
hardly day passes but that u we
are called up to furnish a lot of in
formation on variety OF subjects
pertaining to some phase OF life OF
Fargo. ..
Nearly every summer we find places
for young college men who desire to
come out and spend their vacations In
the harvest fields. We have been in
strumental in locating great many
new businesses in Fargo. The equip
ment of this club has been q very ma
terial assistance to those seeking To-
cation in Fargo in the way Of finding
them a place to do BUSINESS, and ac-
quainting them with general business
opportunities Of the city.
We are called upon frequently in the
summer months to route automobile
tourists through the northwest. Any
one. who has watched the increase of
automobile travel, will concede that
the number of foreign cars passing
through Fargo is materially in
creased.
Another phase of club work that un-
doubtedly contributes much to the up
building of our city is the fact that we
prepare very many articles for foreign
publications.
Relationship Is Valuable.
The intimate relationship that we
have established between this organi-
zation and the department at Wash
ington has proved very valuable on
several occasions. notable among

Club Report Feature.
One of the features of the evenings
program was the report of the prog
ress and activities of the Fargo Com
mercial club during the past four
years, read by Secretary Hardy as a
closer.
The report covered the period from
Jan. %, 1913, when Mr.. Hardy as
sumed the secretaryship of the club, to
the present time.
Mr.. Hardys report, in full. follows:
AS your secretary, it devolves on
me to give you some idea of the pur-
pose of the club, and it's accomplish
ments, as my term of service dates
from Jan. 20, 1913, promise to briefly
review the activities of the club from
that date till the present.

which was that Of the purchase of the
postoffice site. and the question OF
flood control.
This office prepared and sent out
statistics compiled from the govern
ment Chronological reports, that UNI
questionably aroused the proper kind
Of interest in this serious question.
and resulted in big flood control
meeting held here last fall, which re-
suited in the formation of tri-state
organization that has now secured the
passage Of bills in all of the legisla-
lures, and also in congress, that we
believe is going to result in some real
concrete measure for relief. A joint
commission of the three states is at
the present time holding session in
st. Paul, studying this question.
The clubs activities in good road
matters have, we believe, been produc-
tive of much good. There is, we be-
lieve, absolutely no question but that
our publication of our guide to the
Red Trail or National Parks highway
and it's distribution along the entire
route, had a very beneficial effect, re-
sulting in what is now almost a per-
feet highway clear across the state of
North Dakota.
Has Point of Contact.
Your club has found point of con-
tact with your city commissioners,
your county commissioners and your
state departments, and has establish
ed a very friendly and profitable
relationship with each Of these gov
erning bodies. E
Through the efforts of this club, the
night school for foreign speaking citi-
zens was established two years ago.
The school that started with a class
OF less than fifty, now has reached the
numerical strength of $50.
In conclusion, there Is no public af-
organization for a contribution either
of money, or of help in some other d.
rection, and the fact that your execu-
tive committee finds 1t necessary to
spend from one to three hours every
week considering club problems, is,
think, sufficient evidence that your or
ganization has a real place in the COM
munity.
The Budget Fund.
Just a few words about our so-called
budget fund. In former years subscrip-
tions for conventions, and other public
affairs were solicited for each function
as the occasion arose. Committees
sent out collected all they could and
spent all they collected, and a chosen
few generally paid the bill. Now we
solicit and get annual budget subscrip-
lions from nearly all our business and
professional men; the funds so obtain
ed being placed in the general club
funds, and disburSed on authority or
the executive committee. A general
statement of amounts subscribed and
paid out will suffice to show how useful
this fund is, and what are Its economic
advantages. Formerly the amount
spent on q particular function was
measured by the amount raised: now the
amount appropriated is measured by
the actual needs and Importance of the
function in hand.
Those who have contributed. to this
fund very generally agree that the plan
is sound, economic and fair, as the fol-
lowing table will show:

Certain articles of diet tend to check

common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
