In courtesy, this Mesa: a struggling
street of shacks, ramshackle relics of
what had once ben promising COM

Midway In this string of edi6ces the
motel stood-a rough, unpainted, wod-

room as to its lower floor.
Jealously Judith watched the win

alone Of the four detected the face
that showed for one brief instant well

PRESIDENT URGES SWISS NEUTRALITY

Paris, Dec. 23Zt'Private sy1npathies in Switzerland are varied said Dr. Giuseppe Motta, the new President of the Swiss Confederation in an inter view with the correspondent of the Petit Parisian. at Berne, but we must be Swiss, nothing but Swiss.
 That attitude is the only one which can serve our interests and the cause of Europe. The three states which make up our nation are working in. the closest union with this end in view.
 After certain hesitations, the Ger man Swiss, whose minds work less rapidly, and the French and Italian Swiss, who are more easily inf1uenc- ed by sentiment, have closed ranks around the natianaI idea that from whatever quarter an aggressor came, if he should come he will, be the ene- my for all Swiss and immediately the Swiss army will enter into line with those who already fight against that enemy

WONDERFUL SHOWING OF FRENCH SOLDIERS
 IS DUE TO ATHDETICS

E |
 The claim is made in France that the wonderful showing of the French soldiers in the terrible war that is now in progress in Europe, is due, in a great measure, to. the reduction of athletics of all kinds into the French army and schools during the past twenty years. One of the Frenhc of ficers, who was formerly connected with an athletic institution there and who was a great supporter of the box ing game, paid quite a tribute to boxing in the building up of young Frenchmen. This officer who does not. wish his name mentioned at this time in writing to friend in this city says:
 @You were right when you told me that what we needed was athletics and especially boxing. I would not have believed it were it not for the fact that the demonstration has brought home to us. Formerly was opposed to boxing, but now 1t will be my endeavor (providing that I live through this affair." to encourage it in all countries. You will probably be surprised to know that Eugene SoIde- viIle who at one time did a lot of boxing in Paris and also in England and Austria, has been proving him. self quite a hero. He was in one ofthe naT00SI C1AdISOS 64O11S IAAS kAAS11C 1NANOA It is surprising to know the nunbe of boxers who have enlisted in the army over here. There are hundreds of them and every one has been in the thickest of fights.
 ''I was out to see George Carpen- tier, the niddIeweight champion, who was supposed to have been injured quite badly. found George feeling quite we'll indeed and content with his lot. When I left him he was pre- pairing to go on a mission with one of the aviators, so the stories about him not being at the front are not true There has been different reports about Charles Ledoux, the bantam champion, being killed, and I tried to investigate. From what could learn, he is at Alencon add is feeling very well. Whether he has met with an ac- cident since then, ] I cannot say. Stu Der, Clement, and, Crochet, all we'll known boxers here, were with Ledoux and every one Of them have been severely wounded
 ut may, surprise you also to hear that Tom Linton, at one time a fa- nous bicycle rider who raced in New York several times, was killed in one of the battles. I hope that this affair will soon be ended and that we will be able to get back to our regular lives. If we do, rest assured that athletics and boxing will always have warm spot in the hearts Of all army officers in France

Direct from a two weeks engage u1ent at Eamnersrein's dn, New York comes La Gracfosa- in Clyde Rinaldo's s gorgeous electric scenic spectacle 'evis- ions in FairyIand'' to headline the Plaza program for the latter half of the week. It is the most artistic acts that imagination can conceive and it scored triumphs heretofore unheard of in posing novelties while appearing in New York where the press proclaimed 1t without equal and without prece- dent La Graciosa, a strikingly beau tiful and exquisftely formed young woman, starts her act with @ trans formation, which, scenfcally is far ahead of anything ever offered in an act of this character. There are 14 handsome drop curtains used in the act, all designed by Clyde Rina1do, owner of the act and a prominent Japanese artist spent four years on the work. all of the most intricate nature. The electrical effects are wonderful.
 In addition to La Graciosas an al1-. star program has been arranged.

AFTER FOUR YEARS.
Bridgeport Testimony Remains
 UnshaIzen


 Time is the best test of truth. Here is a Bridgeport story that has stood the test of time. It Is a story with a point which will come straight home to many of us:
 Mrs Alvina Arnold, 195 Sterling St. Bridgeport, says: "'F'or 8 long time I suffered almost constantly from a dull ache across my back and had sharp rheumatic pains through my limbs. I was treated by doctors and was told I had -dropsy. My feet and ankles swelled badly and felt languid and tired all the time. Often when sat down. was so exhausted I could hardly get up. Several people had told me about Doan's Kidney Pills and I began using them. Two boxes strength ened my back, removed the rheumatic pains and drove away the dropsical swe1lings- I keep Doan's Kidney Pills on hand all the time and couldn't get along without them. Whenever my back aches or have any other signs of kidney weakness. Doan's Kidney Pills do me world of good. I rec commended them in 1910 and you may keep on using that statement
