Does Actual and Wonderful
Daily Good in Alma.

This is the age of efficiency, and
San-Yak is the efficiency in medi-
zine for internal uses. For Throat,
Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, Bladder
and Bowels it proves a wonder in
every case.
1t prevents a bony-like hardening
of the arteries at ages past so years.
DIR. BURNHAM'S SAN-YAK is the
sure way to prevent paralysis and
apoplexy In its use you have pre-
vented or cured kidney and bladder
trouble. 1t is the greatest in use to
prevent the clumsy, stiff joints and
muscles and for n-uritis and rheum
atism and constipation. 1t has no
parallel for the quality and results.
F. E. Gray, Alma. Michigan, the
leading restaurant man, says: Il was
sick from overwork and kidney trou-
Bile, had paralysis in my toes for sew
eral years, swelling of the feet and
ankles. San-Yak has done wonders

P. C. Johnson, Masonic Home, AL
ma, says: 81 was nearly dead from

Mrs. Allen Sayler OF Angola says:
Il have been troubled for years
with dizziness and back trouble.
After taking three bottles of San
Yak ! feel like new woman, and
want to recommend it to everyone as
a cure and worth a good deal more
than you pay for it."
d. II. James, Homer, Mich, says:

years with high blood pressure, short

There is a Heap of Solace in Being
Able to Depend Upon Well
Earned Reputation.

For months Alma readers have
seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and
read about the good work they have
done in this locality. What other
remedy ever produced such convinc-
mig proof of merit
Mrs. Nancy Z. Briggs, Newark St.,
Ithaca, Mich, says: For years |
was a sufferer from kidney disorders.
| had rheumatic pains and my kidneys
acted too frequently. My back ached
| was restless and mornings | felt
all tired out. Sometimes | was nerv-
Gus and dizzy When / saw Doan's
Kidney Pills advertised, | got some
They relieved me in every way"
OVER THREE YEARS LATER,
Mrs. Briggs said: "When | feel in
need of kidney medicine, | use
Doan's Kidney Pills. They always
give me relief"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that

BAD STORM
Storm Last Week Caused Great
Amount Of Damage Here.

Last Thursday evening Alma was
visited by one Of the worst storms in
years, it being accompanied by wind
of very high velocity, which did great
damage throughout the county, as
we'll as taking very heavy property
toll in this city.
The force of the wind was such
that many large shaue trees and
fruit trees in Alma and surrounding
districts were broken off entirely or
had large limbs severed from their
trunks.
1t is given out that about sixty
ducks at the Swift duck farm in East
Alma were killed as result of the
storm. and some damage was done to
the building in which the ducks were
housed.
The athletic association of Alma
college suffered big loss from the
storm. Most of the fence on three
sides of the athletic field was laid
fiat by the storm, and the grand stand
at the north side of the field was over
turned and broken up so badly that 1t
will be necessary to replace the struc-
ture. With its financial outlook none
too bright at the present time, this
hits the association a hard blow.
The Pollasky block in the heart of
the city also came in for its share of
damage. The large chimney on the
block was overturned by the force of
the wind and was sent crashing thru
the roof into the Morris Messenger
clothing store. Dirt, rain, etc.
caused a heavy loss to Mr.. Msesinger
when the roof went through from the
fall of the chimney, running as it did
about $4,000 worth of clothing Mr.
Pollasky estimates the loss to the
building as several hundred dollars.
In the territory adjacent to Alma
many farm buildings were laid fiat by
the force Of the wind, including some
of the largest barns in the county.
The one on Riverside farm, just to
the west of the college, was one Of
these. The barn on the Melvin Shar-
rar farm was lai fiat and some stock
killed. Mr. Sharrar will have loss
of at least several hundred dollars
over that covered by insurance. The
barn on the Frank Gilkin farm south
of the city was also laid flat and one
of the barns on the Fitzgerald farm
was ruined. The slo on the Ed
Clark farm was also wrecked.
Neil Mcnamara reports the loss Of
his silo and some sheds on his farm,
with a damage of about 81 800. Geo.
Sharrar's barn on the Gee farm was
damaged to the extent of $500, and
the barn on the James Dunn farm
was damaged to the extent Of $500.
c. NJ. Putnam suffered considerable
damage to his barn and the silo on the
l.. A. Page farm was wrecked.
A large loss is reported on the
county line, where barn after barn
was laid fiat by the force of the
storm. The damage in that district
will run into the thousands of dollars.
Considerable other damage was
done to farm buildings around Alma.
Many suffered from small losses and
very few are those who escaped with
out damage to farm buildings or
trees.
