I Give Men This Vitality of Youth
Vitality Is the thing which
makes success; it gives men
that compelling power which
sends them forth eager and
equipped to meet and over
come all obstacles; it is the
thing which gives the young
soldier courage td face death;
it is the thing which Inspires
and holds his sweetheart's love
and faith. No matter what
your age, I can give you this
same vital power, I can restore
the vigor you lost, no matter
what early or later indiscretion
may have sapped your strength
I oan make you "young" and
keep you "young." From an
intimate and studious observa
tion of possibly 100,000 weaken
ed men, I say to you that VI
TALITY or the lack of it means
all the difference between a
manly man and a half man.
The man who bubbles with vi
tal power will exert a pleasing
influence upon ail with whom
he comes in contact; women are
naturally attracted to him, as
are men. Lack of vitality is a
negative condition, and it even
repels. You wear my HEALTH
BELT all night; it sends a
great, glowing, health-giving
current of electro-vitality Into
your nerves, blood and organs;
it takes all the "kink" out of
your back and all the coward
out of your makeup; It puts you
right up in the "feeling line"
class and keeps you there. No
stimulation, no false results;
just a sure return to manhood
and courage. Recommended
also for rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidney, liver, stomach
and bladder disorders. It makes
you feel young and keeps you
feeling young forever.

Health ts Worth Saving, and Some
Asheville Popple Know How
to Save It.
Many Asheville people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are responsi
ble for a vast amount of suffering
and ill health, but there is no need
to suffer nor remain in danger when
all diseases and aches and pains di
to weak kidneys can be quickly and
permanently cured by the use ol
Doan's Kidney Pills. The following
statement leaves no ground for
doubt.
L W. Holloman, 412 Andrews vo
ie. Henderson. N. C, says: "I
cheerfully recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills. A soreness across tne smait oi
my back bothered me constantly
and prevented me from sleeping well.
The kidney secretions were also too
frequent in passage, highly coiorea
and filled with sediment, learning
of Doan's Kidney Pills. I procured a
box and after using them a snort
time I was free from the backache
and other symptoms of kidney com
plaint. Since then I have been in the
best of health."

MARCUS ERWIN.
Clerk of the Superior Court of Bun
combe County, North Carolina,
The Counts Edouard Germain was
sitting in his study the morning be
fore Christmas. . It was during the
later days of the eighteenth century,
when the woes of tne peopleof France
bad become so 'unbearable that mnt
terlngs were heard all over the land
and loudest among the poor. For cen
turies tne Kings ana uouiaiy naa
through inordinate taxes sucked the
very lifeblood from the nation. The
count, who was a humane man, was
meditating upon the storm that . he
saw brewing when the downtrodden
should arise, turn and rend their op
pressors. He wag thinking-' especially
of the Christmas season and that thou
sands of families would go as hungry
on that day as on the other days of
the year.
Suddenly he heard a shot
"Ah," he said, ''there is poaching
going on."
He sat moodily regretting that the
starving people about his estates need
ed his game, bow they would persist in
shooting it without leave and how he
must punish them as lawbreakers, for
he was a magistrate as well ns a land
ed proprietor. Presently a servant an
nounced that he was wanted below.
He went down and saw a yemng man
Held by the gamekeeper and a groom.
The count's little daughter Ellse was
standing looking on. The gamekeeper
bad in his band a pheasant the culprit
had just killed.
"Why do you eUoot my birds with
out my leave?" asked the count'
"Because my wife and children are
starving. I was thinking as I passed
your estates that tomorrow will be
Christmas, and I have nothing but a
little black bread lib give them for a
Christmas dinner, whereas your woods
are full of game. The temptation was
too much for me."
"I am heartily sorry for you," re
plied the count, "but it is my duty to
send you to prison. Besides, if I did
not punish you within a few days I
should not have a bird left on my
estate." ik
"Papa," cried Ellse, "will yon give
me a Christmas gift?"
"I have a number for you. my
daughter," replied the count.
"Not those. One I wish for now.
Give me this man's forgiveness.
The count, glad of su excuse for
clemency, forgave the poacher and
told the gamekeeper to let him take
away the pheasant he had shot. As
the culprit turned away he looked very
hard at Elise. jaw
"Why do you Stare thus at my
daughter?' asked the count
"That I may fix her face on my
mind. The day may come when a
poor poacher may aid her."
Something in the words and te tone
with which they were spoke made
the count tremble.
Several years passed. The Count
Germain was a prisoner in one of
those old piles that had been used for
centuries tb hold persons whom the
kings and nobility of France euose to
put out of their way. His daughter
Elise, who was now Just stepping
from childhood to womanhood, went
to one of the members of the revolu
tionary committee who was at work
with others on the nation's business to
ask for a permit to visit her father
that evening to bid him adieu since he
was to die on the guillotine In the
morning.
"What Is your name?" asked the rev
olutionlst.
"Elise de Germain."
The, man started. He sat looking at
her for a time, then said harshly:
"Ton mean Citlssoess Elise Ger
main." Then, turning to one near
him, be said:
"This is the daughter of the Count
Germain. I am going to take her to
see her father on condition that she
reveals the hiding place of some aris
tocrats whose heads we want."
"Good, citisen; I trust you will get a
lot ot them."
The man took thetgiri with him to
the prison, where be was well known
snd into her fathcr,seeU. Once with
in he closed the doonand said:
"Mademoiselle, ;'ou- once s!ve me
present my liberty and a pheasant for
my starring family for a Christmas
dinner. I am going to try to give you
a return your father. Wait here.
The man went away and called for
the governor of the prison, to whom
he said:
"I have discovered a plot to rescue
tonight a prisoner hare, the Count
Germain. Hs must be removed
once. Call a fiacre."
A keeper wss seat out for a fiacre,
while the revolutionist returned to the
count's cell.
"Corns," he said.
The count and Bliss want with the
who held the count's arm, and
after s few minutes' wait within the
prison door were hurried Into a vehi
cle. The revolutionist gave his order
in a whisper to th cabman, who
drove off at a gallop. He stopped bo
fore the bouse of the revolutionist
whore the count was concealed for a
day, and too next night In a suit of
his preserver's clothes he passed out,
shouting, "Down with aristocrats!"
Within a week ho was safe In Brus
sels. There his daughter Joined htm, snd
ether members of his faulty followed.
Tears after all this happened he re
turned to France sad his estates snd
received ss his more than welcome
guest the men who had sarsd his life.
Many a man who thinks he has
pull Is unable to Impress the police
with It
Most men are willing to remain at
the foot of the ladder when It Is
turned upside down.
TAKE CARE I
Remember that when your kidneys
are affected your life is in danger. M
Mayer, Rochester, N. T., says: "My
trouble started with a sharp shooting
pain over my back which grew worse
dally. I felt sluggish and tired, my
dney action was irregular and in
frequent. I started using Foley Kid
ney Pills. Each dose seemed to put
new life and strength Into me, and
now I am completely cured and feel
better and stronger than for years.

understood to have withdrawn his op

H1LADELPHIA, Dec. 22. After
' an all night search in tho
leather factory of F. Friedlan-
der. 1114 to 1120 Bodlne street, which
was destroyed by fire last night, It is
thought the number of firemen and
policemen killed by falling walls is
under twenty.
Fire Chief Baxter, who narrowly
escaped death, said at 9 o'clock this
morning that between II and 14 fire
men lost their lives. His reports,
however, are Incomplete. Superin
tendent of Police Taylor believes the
death list will reach 20.
Twelve bodies have been taken
from the ruins. The difficulty In de
termining the number of killed Is due
to the fact that when the castastropne
occurred the general alarm brought
ambulances and patrol wagons from
all parts of the city. The Injured and
dead were taken to widely scattered
hospitals.
The work of digging into the ruins
is exasperatingly slow. Fire fighters
have been on duty working like Tro
jans 24 hours. Some of the bodies
removed from the ruins were so
badly burned that limbs dropped off.
The number of firemen and policemen
injured wIM reach 50. Several of
them may die. The injured are scat
tered in nearly a dosen hospitals.
The Friedlander factory was a five-
story structure on the west side of
Bodlne street Wagon tower No. .
had a ladder against the front wall
playing a gerat stream of water into
the flames. Just inside of the build
ing were a group of firemen also
throwing water on the ruins. Sud
denly the Bodlne street wall collapsed,
falling inward, burying all the men
within thfl building and carrying
down the ladder of the truck on
which half a dozen firemen stood.
The cries of the men caught be
neath the ruins spurred their brother
firemen to heroic action without any
thought of danger to themselves. No
sooner had they climbed over th
smoking ruins than there was a
warning from a nearby roof and the
next moment a part of that wall camo
down. This caught within its deadly
gmsp not only the brlave firemen
but also a number of policemen who
plunged Into the rescue work. Three
hundred more policemen were
brought to the scene.
Pitiful cries of help came from the
men buried beneath the ruins. Some
few of the injured extricated them
solves.
Thirteen Known Dead.
Thirteen known dead 12 firemen
and one policeman and more, than
50 injured is the record of last night's
lire at the Frledjlander leather fac
tory. The figures were given out by
the police at noon. The monetary
loss will not exceed 125,000. Of the
Injured several may die. Two Bre
men were taken out alive after hav
ing been pinned under a great mass
of twisted Iron and broken bricks
The busines men of the city have
highly complimented the new train
service which is to go into effect Jan
uary 2 between Cincinnati and
Charleston. The time from Charles- '
ton to Cincinnati is reduced for 32
hours to 25 hours, while the time from
l Cincinnati to Charleston Is made In
27 hours. The trip from Charleston to
Asheville will be made In 10 hours
and 30 minutes, a shortening of two
hours ad 45 minutes; while the trip
from A she vile to Charleston will be
made In 10 hours and 26 minutes, a
shortening of nearly four hours.
From Asheville to Cincinnati there
is already u fast schedule but this will
be Improved by the new train. The
trip on the new train will be made in
15 hours and 20 minutes, against IS
hours and 65 minutes on the present
schedule, while the trip from Cincin
nati to Asheville will be shortened
from 17 hours, under the present ser
vice, to 15 hours and 26 minutes.
In this connection It was suggested
today that by making No. 21 and No.
22, "the eastern and western Carolina
express," connect with the Carolina
special at Asheville, it would be
greatly appreciated by the traveling
public. After January 2. train No. 7.
bound for Cincinnati, will arrive at
Asheville at 7:20 p. m.. and leave at
7:40, eastern time. Train No. SI,
from Goldsboro arrives at Asheville at
7:45 p. m.. just five minutes after th
fast train has departed. It would be a
great convenience to the traveling
public in this state, 'who have business
in the west, if they could make direct
connection at Asheville with the faat
Knoxville and Cincinnati train.
Train No. 7 arrives from Cincin
nati and Knoxville at S;26 a, m. and
departs for Columbia and Charleston
at 9:35 a. m. If train No. 22, which
leaves here at 8 a. m. for Goldsboro,
and follows No. 80, just 50 minutes
later, would be changed back to
leave here at 9:80, it would afford an
other direct connection from Cincin
nati, Knoxville and the west to Salis
bury, Raleigh, Greensboro and the
east with little delay."
It Is understood that mmbvrs of
the corporation commission have had
under advisement a proposition to
make the morning train No. S, from
Waynesville, on the Murphy division,
form a connection with No. 22, the
idea being to have No. 22 leave later.
Granting that No. 8, on the Murphy
line from Waynesville, Is exactly on
time, It would be possible under the
proposed schedule of No. 8, the Car
olina special, to make connection with
the Charleston train.
These matters will doubtless be con
sidered by the corporation commis
sion shortly after January 1 when the
i ew members take office.
