Idaho has no law regulating glarIne
headlights. The careful driver dims
his lights when approaching another
vehicle. The road hog blinds every
one he passes and there is no law to
compel him to act like a gentleman.
Even the most courteous driver occas-
ionally forgets to dim and the law
must provide that all cars shall be
equipped with headlights that are
safe at all times. Such headlights are
made. and the cost OF installing them
is very slight. Even were IL a heavy
expense, one smashed car and manned
driver are worth far more than all the
glaring headlights In the state.

motor driven must carry Iiaht

THE BEST TEST

Years ago Peter Neveril of 934 s.
Pleasant St., Belding told of good
results from using Doan's Kidney
Pills. Now Mr.. Neveril confirms the
former statement--says there has
been no return of the trouble. Can
Bedding people ask for more convinc-
ing testimony?
"The first symptom of kidney troub-
lie in my case was pain in my back"
says Mr.. Neveril. "Then the kidney Sc
cretions bothered me by passing ir-
regularly. After l used Doan's Kidney
Pills the kidney scretions passed reg
ularly and the pains left me. / can
recommend this medicine highly"
OVER THREE YEARS LATER
Mr.. Neveril added: "Since giving my
former statement, recommending
Doan's Kidney Pills, haven't had any
return of kidney trouble. l consider
my cure permanent"

simply ask for kidney remedy-get

Uncle George II. Van Pelt known
throughout Michigan ind other states
as crank on concrete roads fire proof
hoie.s and above ali--America for
Americans is wintering at Daytona
and Seabreeze, Florida. He is stop
ping at the Clarendon Hotel and has
just recently been elected president
of the clarendon Korner Liars Klub
a position which Is highly coveted by
every member of the Kiub and some
terrible big "fibs" are Matching in an
effort to take away from Uncle Geo
rye the highest honor which the Klub
can confer upon any of its members.
We can not for the life of us think
of what Uncle George might have
said that would entitle him to mem
bership in any Liars Klub, much less
hold the presidency of it as all he ev-
er talks about is that concrete roads
are the best and might just as well
come now as to come later; that all
hotels should be freproof, which is
surely fact that the travelling pub
lie and hotel owners should take no.
tice of. Another hobby which he
talks about great deal is America
for Americans. Surely the odious
position of president of liars klub
should never be heaped upon any man
like Uncle George Van Pelt for hold
ing any Of the above ideas, but he has
il anyway and he quite evidently
thinks the possession of it is a val
liable asset. We really fear that
Uncle George has Fallen into evil
ways and in with bad companions
