QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Pain in the Back.

Pain in the Back.
Kindly suggest good kidney remedy.
! suffer considerably with dull pain in
the small Of the back.-F. L.
Answer-If YOU assume that pain in
the small of the back is a symptom of
kidney trouble you are sadly misin-
formed. Pain in that situation is very
rarely felt by persons who really have
kidney trouble. Pain in the back. like
pain in the head. is most frequently
reflex in origin, and in order to obtain
relief you should undergo thorough
examination by physician. 1t would
be unwarranted extravaganza on your
part to experiment blindly with such a
symptom.
Killing Flies in the House.
Can you suggest any agent which will
poison flies In the house without being
dangerous to children or pets?-Mrs. D.

carried out by experts in the United

ward lowering the enormous tax
rate OF the city, adopted the sugges-
tons submitted by the civic commit
tee. The communication in ques-
ton was one of those sent to every
organization Of the city, all bearing
upon the same lines.
The suggestions as outlined by
the civic committee and which met
with the approval of the entire
membership present, took into con-
alteration what they believed to BE-

We suggest that a bill be drafted

This Is an important matter and
every effort should be made to have

LOOK OUT FOR
SLICK statesmen
WITH OIL STOCK
OFFER DIVIDENDS AND OTHER
GOLD BRICK METHODS.
PUBLIC SHOULD BEWARE

Local people are warned against
the operations of a number of slick
fellows who are working in this city
and vicinity at present attempting
to sell stock in some western oil
company. The statesmen put up the
usual story of big divic ends and be.
cause of the fact that few men
in a nearby city have lately struck
it rich in certain oil investment,
they have been citing the Ionia mems
good fortune as an example Of what
the investor could expect in the way
of returns in the company of which
they were Offering stock for sale.
These salesmen come to this city
from Grand Rapids in big automo-
lies and the chances are that they
are trying to completely work the
territory and get out before the
worthlessness of their stock becomes
known to the prospective and retro
spective purchasers, the chances be-
ing that were the real value of their
proposition to be known, purchasers
would be so few and far between
that the statesmen and their company
would have to go out of business.
A Grand Rapids paper on Friday
of last week ran an advertisement
telling of the big returns which this
o stock would pay. On Saturday
it ran an editorial in which it beg
ged pardon of its rea ers for carry
ing the scheme in its columns. This
paper was also recently offered ad-
vertising from an oil company and
we turned the proposition down.
There are a lot of stock oil and
other companies. A few of them are
good and the vast majority of them
are not worth the paper the stock
certificate takes for printing. The
chances are, however, that your
banker will know something about
the good ones and if you will consult
him when the stock salesman calls
on you, you may save yourself some
money.
Beware of the stock salesman.

Another bond issue was authorized

of new building and equipment in

Board of Education has no 6esire to

of the people who by their vote de-

the Board has prospective plans for
