 From Mrs. Kipline.
 This extract from a letter from Mrs. Rqdyard Kipling, Dec. 12, 1914, is given:
 ''You have been so good in helping send things to me for the hospital work in France that I thought I should like you to get a side light on what a necessity there has been for every thing, and how useful your work has been as shown in this letter. Many thanks go to you not only from us, but from all these poor men whom your help has helped.
 From Lady Aleernon Gordon Lennox.
 The following extract is given from 9 letter to Mrs. Rudyard Kipling from Lady Algernon Gordon -Lennox. No. 13 Stationary Hospital, Boulogne:
 HIS hospital IS S1IU&leu aL In0 Care Maritime between the ambulance trains and the hospital ships. There is q large casualty ward where the walking cases have their wounds dressed and are given hot food before going to England or to camps, and there is d perpetual run on clothing, as. you see, we get the men right from the trenches; in addition, there are 800 beds now being increased to 300, for the Stretcher- eases. It will give you some idea of the magnitude when I tell you 10000 passed through No. F stationary between Nov. l and 30, and one day they dressed 1900 cases in the casualty ward! I give you these details because it is so much more satisfactory to know where gifts are being utilized. We have urgent need of paiamas, slIirtsh and mufT1ers. Cast linen is a wonderful gift and more appreciated than can say. The work is intensely sad, but at the same time comforting to see the wonderful work the army nursing sisters and surgeons are doing, and the intense gratitude of these poor fellows who never complain. CThere are 16 of these hospitals at Boulogne alone Mrs. KiplingD
 MT. Kimball sent q large shipment of old linen Saturday and in two weeks will forward another to Doubleday, Page x Co.

NAMED FOR LARGEST CITIES.
Four Districts in Conference Chosen
For Largest Towns.

Four Districts in Conference Chosen
For Largest Towns.
Rev. r. F. Hurlburt arrived home
Monday night from Dubuque. where
he has been to attend the annual Up
per Iowa conference. DR.. Hurlburt was
honored by the conference In being
chosen as one OF the five ministerial
delegates to the general conference to
be held at Saratoga Springs, N. Y.
next May. Four OF the five are pas
tors. which Is contrary to the general
rule of choosing district superintend-
ents as general conference delegates.
In reducing the number, of districts
from six to four, Rev. Mr.. Hurlburt
said that the action was in accordance
with the general tendency Of Metho-
dist connections, and that the bishops
had decided that the districts should
be larger. It is the idea not to have
the superintendent visit the larger
churches so often, but to pay more at
tention to the smaller and country
charges. In reducing the districts to
four the conference will save the SAL
airy of one superintendent The con-
ference has been paying $4,000 year
to the six superintendent and under
the new plan the salary will be $4,000.
In choosing the names for the dis
tricts. and the elimination Of the Mar
shalltown and DEBORAH districts. it was
Bishop STUNTS idea that the districts
should bear the names of the four
largest cities in the conference-Dav-
EXPORT Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, and
Waterloo.
