San Diego, Calf, March 26.-Dear Mr. Stafford In renewing my sub scription to the News, l wish to ex- press our enjoyment of it's weekly visits. When one is far away he ap- preeiates his old home paper more than at other times, for it is prac- tieally his only means of knowing what is occurring back yonder.s' Oh yes, friends promise to write fre- quently and regularly but t is so easy to postpone and forget. But The News comes regularly, and with it's efficient correspondents covering pretty thoroughly all the news for miles around .springdale. Being bet ter acquainted from Springdale to Huntsville We especially enjoy let ters from that territory. By the way, what has become of your Hinds- vile correspondent? Just one letter and then long and intense silence MT. Editor, stir him up, and then if you will work that section you will almost surely get a nice list of sub. scribers
 I would like to ask Don't Worry if he really believes (as a recent letter of his in The News would indicate) that the date on which Easter comes has any influence on the weather, and if so, why? I haven't the pleas ure of a personal acquaintance with Don't Worry. but judging by his letters am sure he is lovable man and hope his letters will eontin.

Miss Lalu wraps her mantle about her and quietly lies down to rest surrounded b.. the sweet flowers of spring. Fare well, Miss Lulu, may the birds sing sweet lullabys at eventide above thy resting place. Miss Lulu was a bright, intelligent young woman and a good conversationalist, and will be missed not only at her home but in the community in which she has lived all of her life To her brothers and sisters We would say, that only those who have suffered in like manner know how to appreciate a kind word Of condolenee in it's real meaning.

 This date, March 26, is an import ant one for the writer. as it was just twelve years ago he formed q part nership for better or for-well, what is the ase of saying anything about the other stde. as there isn't any other.
 A slight rain last night and today. We are hoping for more Water is the great problem here. the same as it is over a great deal of the South west. Soon the long dry season will begin and it will not rain for months. Then the green hills of the Ozarks would be a welcome sight to us. Ma ture is beautiful here now, as yegeta- ton is under full growth, with oats, barley and wheat already harvested for hay. Saw alfalfa in bloom this week
 It is thought everything will be ready for the opening of our big ex- position Jan. 1, 1915, and that during the year hundreds of thousands of people will for the first time see our beautiful city.
 In looking over the records 1 find that the year 1913 has the distinc ton of having furnished both the coldest and hottest weather ever re- corded at this station for forty-two years In January it went below freezing and destroyed much citrus fruit and injured many trees. In there were desert winds and bush fires at the same time. Thermometers ran close to 120, and some chickens and rabbits died from the intense heat These are the on Iy instances in which the records show the temperature to have gone below freezing or above 100. Gener l ally it is an even, delightful climate.

IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY
KIDNEYS.
Walhalla Readers Should Learn to
Keep the Kidneys Well.

The kidneys have "A big work to do
All the blood in the body is coursing
through the kidneys constantly to be
freed OF poisonous matter. 1t is a
heavy enough task when the kidneys
are well, but a cold, chill, fever or
some thoughtless exposure is likely to
irritate, inflame and congest the kid

work.
Then the aching frequently begins,
and Is often accompanied by some
frregularity of the urine-too fire.

tion. Thousands testify to the won
derful merit OF Dcan's Kidney Pills,
a remedy for the kidneys only, that
has been used in kidney troubles so
years. You will make no mistake in
following this advice. 1t comes from
a resident of this locality:
j. T. Moore, clerk in cotton ware
house, r. f. d. No. 4, Seneca, S. c.,
says: Il had attacks Of backache
and pains through my loins. Other
ailments showed that my kidneys
were weak. Doan's Kidney Pills re-
lieved me. | recommend this remedy
to every one troubled by weak kid
neys."
The above is not an isolated case.
Mr. Moore is only one Of many il this
vicinity who have gratefully endors-
ed Doan's. If your back aches--if
your kidneys bother you, don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy-ask
distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills,

Allies Claim Progress.
Paris, Dec. 2.-Three batteries of
heavy German guns have been de-
stroyed by the French in an artillery
duel at Vermelles, it was officially

cording to Hct Volk, published at
Amsterdam.
Dutch troops fired on the Belgians,
killing six and wounding nine of
them. No details of the occurrences
are as yet available.
The trouble has been attributed to
the discomfort of the interned Bel
gians at not being a;1owed to receive
visits from members of their fami-
lies. The unrest continues, and
troops have been sent to Zeist from
Utrecht to strengthen the guard.

from the indiscretion Of prisoner
who bOasted to the other captives
that he was about to be released.
This angered his comrades, who at

but were overpowered.
The reserves were summoned and
when they reached the scene they
found a thousand prisoners advanc-

soon subdued the mutineers. The
ring leaders were arrested and placed
in solitary confinement. Only one
, man was seriously injured in the
