ses 29th Year With Good

The report of the annual meeting
of the Acton and Oennessee Farm
el S' Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany, one of the very first farirer
companies organized in the State of
Minnesota, appears in the last is^te
ot the Republican Press of Atwater.
F. C. Peterson was re-elected treas
urer for the company for a term of
three years. The assessment levied
for the ensuing year was 15 cents
for each $100 of insurance. The
company now has 1,471 policies in
foice, carrying an insurance of
$ J,259,100, a gain of 62 policies,
carrying over $250,000, during the
past year. Losses paid during the
year amounted to $5,801.94 and the
company has the handsome balance
in the bank of $19,147.40 which en
ables it to pay the losses incurred
very promptly. This large amount
of business was attended to during
the past year at the low cost of
$775 90 which includes all expenses
incurred. The efficient secretary
of this co-operative enterprise, that
has proven so successful, is the old
veteran, John G. Porter, of Gennes

A large can and a small cost does not make baking powder cheap—
or even less expensive than Calumet—the high-quality, moderate-price
kind. It certainly cannot make it as good. Don't judge baking powder ia
this way—the real test—the proof of raising power, of evenness, uniformity,
wholesomeness and deliciousness will be only in the baking.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles.
Many people never suspect
their kidneys. If suffering from
a lame, weak or aching back they
think that it is only a muscular
weakness when urinary trouble
sets in they think it will soon
correct itself. .And so it is with
all the other symtoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where
the danger lies. You must cure
these troubles or tney may lead
to diabetes or Bright's disease.
The best remedy to use is Doan's
Kidney Pills. It cures all ills
which are caused by weak or dis
eased kidneys. Residents of this
vicinity are constantly testifying
to permanent cures.
John McShane, Benson, Minn
says: "I was troubled with lum
bago, caused by a cold settling in
my kidneys. The pains in my
back were so severe that I suffer
ed acutely when stooping, my
back was weak and at times I
felt languid and tired. also
had nervous headaches and was
in a rundown condition. When
I heard about Doan's Kidney
Pills, I procured a box and after
commencing their use soon felt
better in every a Whenever
I have a recurrence of the trouble,
Doan's Pills give me relief."

What to give—where to buy—how much to pay—
are all questions that bother all of us just before
Christmas.
Why not settle all these questions this year by
giving the best Christmas gift possible—
A Nice Photograph
of Yourself
Photographs for Christmas are always in good
taste. They are a lasting reminder of the giver,
and are always appreciated by the recipient. But
remember, they should be GOOD photographs.
It always pays to go to an artistic photographer
one who knows how to arrange the figure—hair
—dress—pose, etc., so as to get the most perfect
and natural expression.
That we have the "know how" to obtain artistic
photos, we will leave you to judge from the many
samples of our work you can always see any time
at this studio.
Be sure to arrange for your sittings early—and
not leave it till the last minute, or perhaps you
and your friends will be disappointed.

HINTS FOR ELECTRIC LIGHTING
It is no small ta=k even for a
good engineei to anange the light
ing of an ordinary six room house.
Of course, when lighting is being
considered and figuied on, such lit
tle items as paint and wall paper
make a great difference in the gen
eral results. In a general way it is
a good rule to use light tints for
both paper and paint because they
reflect the light and consequently
it does not requiie so many lamps
or so much electricity to properly
light the house. Dark wall paper
absorbs the light and should be
avoided as it is impossile to get a
good lighting effect with dark tints.
In laying out the plans for the
following rooms it is to be under
stood that the walls and ceilings are
tinted a light yellow or a light buff
and that the wood work is only a
shade or two darker.
Porch light, located directly
above the front door with switch in
vestibule. An eight candle power
lamp is sufficient.
Reception room, two ornamental
ceiling lamp fixtures for Tungsten
32 candle-power lamps controlled
by button switch on thf reception
room side of vestibule hall, and al
so from the head of the stairs.
This arrangement is most conven
ient.
Living room, planned for two
lighting effects. Five light Tung
sten ceiling fixtures controlled from
point near reception room entracne.
This fixture may be installed so that
a push of the button throws on one,
Russians Like Perfumery.
The Russians are very good and
lucrative customers to the makers of
perfumery, for it flows likf* water as
a spray in their apartments and in
the little ornamental fountains that
decorate their drawing rooms and
state apartments, among the utmost
luxury that pieAails in rare flowers
and plants, especially in St. Peters
burg during the long winter season.
Smokeless
Phone
in
two, thiee or five of the lights. A
reading lamp is also provided for
the table.
Dining room is lighted with an
ornamental pendant lamp hanging
low from the ceiling. The lamp
should be about forty candlepower,
chain pull socket.
Kitchen lighting is obtained
from a single ceiling lamp switched
on or off from wall near dining
room entrance.
Basement should always be con
trolled from head of stairs with an
indicating switch, enabling one to
turn light on before going down
stairs and to turn it out after re
turning to the kitchen.
In the modern home of today,
where so many electrical appliances
are used, it has become quite the
fashion to install wall sockets for
buch conveniences as the electric
iron, fans, small motors, chafing
dish, cookers, and other heating de
vices.
The upstairs hall light should be
controlled from the head of the
stairs.
Bed room lighting should be con
trolled from a point very near the
entrance. Wall brackets are used,
their position \ar.\ing with the
style of furniture used.
The bath room should be lighted
with a wall lamp on each side of
the mirror. Suitable wall sockets
for such heating devices as the
shaving mug, water heater, massage
machine and luminous radiator to
be provided. Small Tungsten
lamps are suitable for all the up
stairs lighting.
Getting on In Years.
"Oh!" gapped the beautiful woman
as she fell back, clutching at her heart
and permitting the telegram to flutter

Her fashionable guests rushed for
ward, crying:
"What Is it? Has your husband met
with an accident?"
"No—no," she moaned. "It is from
my son-in-law. I am a grandmother."
—Chicago Record-Herald.
Until science discovered a way to construct the Automatic
Smokeless Device, and make it completely dependable, all oil
heaters had one common great fault—smoke.
With the advent of the Automatic Smokeless Device, and its
practical application to the
PERFECTION
Oil Heater
'(Equipped with Smokeless Device)]
the smoke problem was successfully
solved.
The Perfection Oil Heater is the
only heater equipped with this
Automatic
Smokeless Device
which insures a steady, full-glowing heat,
with the wick turned up as high as it will
go, yv.thout a shred of smoke. Reverse the
motion, turn the wick down—there's no odor.
1 he smokeless device automatically locks
and prevents the upward movement of the
wick beyond the proper exposure. That
is the secret. This splendid result gives
leadership to the Perfection.
You may now have all the heat you want—when you want it—and
where you want it—without the annoyance of smoke or odor.
Brass font holds 4 quarts of oil, which permits a glowing heat for 9 hours.
Brass wick tube—damper top—cool handle. Cleaned in a minute.
The Perfection is beautifully finished in Nickel or Japan.
