When a healthy man or woman

and urinary disorders, look to the
kidneys fo the cause of it all. Keep
the kidneys we'll and they will keep
you we'll. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys and keep them well.
Here is Smyrna testimony to prove
it.
John M. Watson, Mt. Vernon ST.,
Smyrna, DEL, says: about six
years ago l received a severe injury
and was not expected to recover.
However l got we'll but from that
time on l was greatly troubled with
my kidneys. Any cold l contracted,
any change in the weather, or over
exertion would affect my back and
kidneys and my back would ache so
severely that l could hardly get
around. Since using one box of
Doan's Kidney Pills, which | pro-

A TENNYSON STORY.
The Poets Mistake and the Way He
rendered an Apology.


rendered an Apology.
England's great poet Tennyson was
a somewha, gruff and formidable man.
whose manner with curious strangers
was by no means gentle and pleasant
Once a young woman who had been
lust introduced to the great man at
Freshwater was left alone with him
on the seashOre. She stood in immense
awe of the poet and therefore did not
interrupt him as be sat speechless,
gazing straight ahead Of him at the
sea.
The long silence was broken at last
In an astonishing manner by Tenny-
son. He was going to open his lips and
utter some lovely thought. the young
woman imagined. Instead he opened
them and in gruff and gloomy tones
gave voice TO this remark:
"YOu creak"
The girl started back in horror.
Tennys0n added an explanation:
"YOu creak Your stays creak"
This so startled the young woman
that she ran away and went indoors.
where large company. she found.
waS gathered together over tea. IN a
little time Tennyson appeared. a vague
expression ON his cOuntenance. as
though something had gone wrong
with him. The girl. now accounting
him possibly mad and certainly impO
lite. tried hard To hide away from him.
In vain HIS eagle eye found her out.
He threaded his way among the other
guests toward her. took her hand and
said in resonant tones before the whole
company df them:

It was my braces"

prune, apricot, walnut, peach, pear and
berries.
The shipments of citrus fruit-or-
anges and lemons-from Southern Cali
fornia points for the present season
will amount to over 10000 carloads. A
large proportion of these shipments is
contributed from Los Angeles county.
Deciduous fruits are shipped fresh
canned, dried and crystallized. AS pre-
Viously mentioned, an active demand
for our dried fruit has grown up in
Europe.
Each section Of the country, as a
rule, has some agricultural or horticul-
tural product of which 1t makes
specially although in some sections
almost every crop raised in Southern
California Is grown. In Los Angeles
county the leading center of orange
culture is among the foothills of the
san Gabriel valley. Around Pomona
both citrus and deciduous fruits are
raised. The lemon is raised at Whit
tier, at San Diego, in Ventura, in San
Gabriel valley and back of Long
Beach, as we'll as in the Cahuenga
valley. The olive flourishes in the San
Fernando valley, and the apple, pear
and almond thrives in the Antelope
valley, where they have cool winters
and land Is cheap. The country around
Downey is an all-around farming re-
gion, where large quantities Of pork,
butter, cheese, corn and vegetables are
raised. The walnut does particularly
we'll around Rivera, just south Of Los
Angeles city. Strawberries are made
speciality at Gardena, Azusa, Tropico
and Glendale.
Alfalfa. which is largely grown for
hay. Is most valuable forage plant.
1t Is cut from six to eight times a year.
Large quantities of wheat and barley
are raised. Los Angeles county corn
sometimes grows to height of twenty
feet Pumpkins have been raised
Weighing over 400 pounds. There is a

brated all over the country.
FLOWERS AND BERRIES
In the neighborhood of Los Angeles
calla lilies, tuberoses, carnations and
other flowers are raised by the acre.
Horticulture Is, indeed. an important
and rapidly growing industry in South
ern California. Several women have
made successes along this line. Flow
ers are raised, not only for sale as cut
flowers, but also for the bulbs and
seeds, which are shipped east IN large
quantities. Eastern seed men declare
that California grown seeds are the
best they handle. The nursery busi-
ness Is also an important one.
Hundreds of acres are devoted TO
the cultivation of celery, which Is
shipped east by the trainload. WINTER
vegetables, such as string beans, To-
matoes, green peas and chill peppers
are shipped to the north and east dur
ing the winter months, realizing high
prices.
Berry culture is an industry which
brings large returns, and one does not
have to wait long for a patch of ber-
ries to bear The principal berries
raised are Strawberries, raspberries,
blackberries, dewberries and logan
berries, the latter a cross between the
blackberry and the raspberry attain
ing great size. The chief strawberry
growing sections of the county are ne-
tween Los Angeles and Redondo Beach.
