HANDSOME "HELMCREST' HOME
DESTROYED BY FIRE. -

"Helmcrest,'' home of w. T.
Schnaufer, prominent lumber man of
Lexington, two miles and a half on
the Maysville pike, was totally de-
stroyed when a fire originating from
a defective furnace Quilted the build
ing. The loss is estimated at $780,
600 which is partially covered by in
surance.
Helmcrest, the former home of Mrs
Jennie Hanson Helm. was one of the
most beautiful homes in that section
of the State, being on small hill
about a quarter of a mile from the
Maysville pike. The home was pur-
chased from Mrs. Helm by Mr.,
Schnaufer about wo years ago. s
The home was made entirely of
stone and the flames eating their way
through the floors Quilted the build
ing in short time. The furnishings
of the house which will run into
thousands were a total loss. as the
flames made such rapid Roadway
that none could be saved.

FEEL LIKE GIVING UP?
Many Paris People On the Verge OF
Collapse.


A bad back makes you miserable
all the time
Lame every morning; sore all day.
It hurts to stoop-it hurts to
straighten.
What with headache, dizzy spells,
urinary weakness.
No wonder people are discouraged.
Who do not know the kidneys may
be the cause of it all.
Give the weakened kidneys need
full help.
Use a tested and proven kidney
remedy.
None endorsed like Doan's Kidney
Pills.
Mrs. John Mastin, 1439 High St.,
Paris, says: 81 have used Doan's
Kidney Pills with good results and l
know from the help they gave me
that they would be just as beneficial
in other cases of kidney trouble
had a dead, dull ache across the small
of my back and my kidneys acted 1r-
regularly. Doan's Kidney Pills rid
me of those complaints and II
should need kidney remedy again,
I would certainly take Doan's."
Mrs. Mastin is only one of many
Paris people who have gratefully en-
dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches, if your kidneys bother
YOU. don't simply ask for kidney
remedy, ask distinctly for Doan's
Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs
Mastin had-the remedy backed by
home testimony. 60 cents at all
