A trying problem with which Be- midji has had to contend is the ad- Jjusting of fair insurance rates. 1911 statisties show that the fire loss in Bemidji was less than any ecity it's size in the state, but before a sub- stantial decrease in the rates can be eftected the adjusters say that the citiens must make ammends. It is the belief of fire insurance writers that a thorough inspection of Be- midji buildings by a competent in- spector would reduce the fire loss in the city one-half. Faulty chimney construction is responsible for most of the fires in the residential section and carelessness in the back yards, alleys and basements of the Lusiness di:trict buildings. Bemidji has no adequate scheme of inspection of buildings with a view to fire preven- tion and it should have. The time is ripe right now for action. allottee Eight Great Secrets of Success.

Many Bemidjl people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suf- fering and ill health—the slightest delay is dangerous. Use Doan’s Kid- ney Pills—a remedy that has cured thousands of kidney sufferers. Here is a Bemidji citizen’s recommenda- tion. B. Carisch, 621 Fifth St., Bemidji, Minn,, says: “For many years I suf- fered from kidney and bladder trou-! ble. My back pained me almost con- stantly and the secretions from my kidneys were irregular in passage. I used a great many remedies, but nothing helped me permanently until I procured Doan’s Kidney Pills. I feel that they have permanently rid my system of kidney complaint, for 1 am now free from every symptom of it.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
