In the progress of the city westward
there I no more pocullar feature than
the centering of the automobile houses
rounl the head of Alder street. This
thoroughfare seems to have been select
ed bv the (arago men as their very
own and more and more buildings to be
devoted to motoring are going up in
this district.
it has Just been announced that the
southeast corner of Chapman and Alder
Is to be built upon for the btudebaker
Bros northwest company. A three
story brick costing J60.000 Will Boon
rise on this corner.
The Btoddard-JDayton company, auto
mobile manufacturers, will soon nave a
frame gaj-aea costing $10,000 or over
on the southeast corner or Bev"ii"ii
and Alder. The corner facing BUteentn
of the same block will also be soon
occupied by an automobile company.
nt.iv fr, th Htudehsker Karaite
will be that of the Central stables
across Seventeenth from tne moauaru
Davton establishment. This will be a
brick building nnd will cost 140,000.
Two of the largest garsges are al
ready established across Alder from the
Stoddnrd'-Uayton site.
It Is largely because of the smootn,
unbroken pavement on Alder street that
the garage managers have picked out
Alder as their own particular street
Alder street ever since It was Im
proved with a good hard-surface pave
ment has been the banner driving and
motoring street of tiio down-town dis
trict, and the auto men were quick to
see that a call for a motor car could
be quickly answered from the head of
Alder, the chauffeur shooting down to
his customer in a flash. Hod It not
been for the discerning eye of the gar
age managers there would probably -be,
a considerable area of upper Alder
.irdt vneiint at nresent. but the smooth
pavement has opened the way fur higher

Two blocks away from the Alder
street garages Is another at j-uteenrn
and Burnslde. From this point both
Hurnslde and Washington, two well
nv.,t afreets, lead down town. Burn
side, being far less congested a street
than Washington, also Illustrates the
axiom thot a good, smooth pavement
means steady use by autolsts, a fact
that the owners of odd pieces of prop
erty can well profit by when the growth
of the cltv permits llie opening or an
other garage.
It is apparent that the automobile
hox now an abiding nlace In every mod
em cltv. Hut the motor car needs first
of all a smooth road or street, and the
selections already made ror garage sues
show conclusively that the owner of
property on an Ill-paved street must
see It permanently Improved before he
can nope to sen or lease jus sruumi

A man came to me for treat
ment a few weeks ago who had
taken five bottles of poisonous
drugs. He got tho sturf from a
doctor for the cure of chronic
kidney trouble and rheumatism.
Of course, the patient did not
know the nature of the medicine
he had been tiding until 1 ana
lyzed the cer'nu of one of tha
bottles. The mixture contained
morphine, alcohol and potash In
larpe quantities. He then realized
whv he had become nervous, de
bilitated and weak; why his
stomach went back on him and
his fond wouldn't digest. He
realized also that if he had con
tinued the use of these poisons
much longer he would have be
torne a drug slave, Just as thou
sands of other sufferers have
who went to doctors for relief.
That's the way all drugs work.
Thev will stop a pain by deaden
ing the nerves, but the pain comes
back In a few hours and you have
to repeat the dose. The trouble
Is ntlll there and will remain
there until the cause Is removed.
Now. tbl man took up my
treatment and began using Electro-Vigor
everv night. In three
weeks' time every pain and ache
was gone from his body, and In
another two weeks he reported
himself cured of the kidney
trouble, which had bothered him
for years.
How- did Electro-Vlpor do this?
Simply by removing tne cause and
giving nature the power to euro.
Tho rheumatism was caused by
the kidney trouble, and the reason
for the kidnev trouble was a lack
of strength and vitality In those
organs

was all that was neeled. Wltn
that force restored, the life and
activity of the kidneys was re
newed, enabling them to cleanse
the .blood of all Impurities and
the cause of rheumatism.
When the eau. of disease Is
removed, nature makes a quick

for some weeks, on the advloe of the

"Tho proper way to prepare the lemon
bath Is as follows: Five lemons, cut

drawn Into the bath must be moderately
hot, but not warm enough to be ener

It slowly, the whole being stirred vlgor

making cocoa. There Is no objection
to a few slices of the lemon peel being
allowed In the mixture''
