The Lig'Kt Question
PROCEEDINGS OF
THE COUNTY COURT
Y.e bell has sounded the knell of
kerosene, gasoline lights and other
forms of Incompetent illumination.
Are you ready to qult.tnem?
Haven't you tolerated them long
enough?
There was a time when burning
pitch faggots furnished the only
means of artificial Illumination folks
knew about. And It was considered
sufficient.
Then came the tallow dip, and
everybody discarded his pitch faggot
In disgust.
The tallow candle was next to ex
ert Its supremacy over the tallow
dip, and folks were glad.
The next step of development was
kerosene lamps, and they In their
turn were welcomed as a pleasing
step In the right direction.
Then came the gasoline lights,
which Jacksonville tried and cast
Into the Junk pile several years ago.
And now, as a logical development
of science, we have the greatest of
all llluminants electricity.
Maybe some day something will
replace electricity.
But the probability isn't strong
enough to jusitfy us in waiting for
it.
No other form of artificial lllum-
inant equals electricity in brilliancy,
safety, neatness, healthfulness, econ
omy and cheerfulness.
Electric lighting omits no fumes
or odors, and Is the one hygenlc light
for living rooms and bed rooms.
The fact that electric light con
sumes no oxygen, like all open flame
lights do, proves it to be the health
iest light known.
It keeps the air as pure and whole
some as if no light were burning at
all.
The Importance of this one feature
is readily apparent when it is known
that an open flame light burns more
oxygen, from a room, than four per
sons would breathe.
No matches. No dangerous, dirty
matches are needed in the home that
is electrically lighted.
No washing and filling of lamps,
no danger of explosions; no danger
of leaks; no plumbers bills; no flick
ering flame to be blown out by a sud
den gust of wind; no flue smudge of
soot continually emanating from
your light to be deposited on cur
tains, draperies, and furnishings.
When you want to flood your home
with light, simply turn the button.
Think hard now don't you want It?

THE ONLY WAY
Many Grunts Push Citizens Have Dis
covered It.
Just what to do when the kidney
are affected, la a question that con
cerns both young and old. Weak kid
neys neglected In childhood lead to
life-long suffering. People of ad
vanced years, with less vitality, Buf
fer doubly. In youth or ago, lan
guor, backache, urinary irregularity,
dizziness nnd nervousness make life
a burden.
There is one remedy that acts di
rectly on the kidneys nnd cures these
troubles. Donn's Kidney Pills owe
their world-wide fame to the fact
that they cure sick kidneys and cure
them permanently. Follow the ex
ample of the Grants Pass citizen and
you will bo convinced that this Is bo.
William Smith, 915 J street,
Grants Pnss, Ore., says: "I used
Bonn's Kidney Pills nnd I am glad to
say that they helped me greatly. This
remedy Is an excellent ono for back
ache and other kidney disorders.. I
always try to keep a supply on hand."
