TELLS ON THE KIDNEYS
Yuma People Have Found This to Be
 True

The strain of overwork tells on the weakened kidneys. The hurry and worry of business men, the heavy lift ing and stopping of workmen, the women's household cares, tend to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until they can no longer filter the poisc: from, the blood and the whole body suffers from the waste matter that ac- cumulates. Weakened kidneys need quick assistance. Doan's Kidney Pills are especially prepared for weakened kidneys; tired, worn-out backs-have proven their merit in thousands of cases. Below is convincing proof from this locality:
 J. w. Smith, blacksmith, TIA West Fillmore St., Phoenix, AriE.. says: The heavy work in my business made my kidneys weak. My back ached and I was so stiff that I could hardly bend over. I had headaches and dizzy spells. The kidney secretions were unnatural. Doan's Kidney Pills sure my kidneys and the pains The five dollars worth of Doan's Kidney Pills 1 used were worth many hundred dollars to me. | give Doan's Kidney Pills the entire credit for curing me-"
 
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that MT. Smith had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props, Buffalo, N. Y.-Adv.

The halls of Congress are echoing and re-echoing blood curdling stories of the atroci- ties of war.
 President Wilson is proba- bly being Soundly lambasted for his tolerance of the vari- ouS governments that have been responsible for the loss of American lives, the recent sinking of the great passenger steamer Persia being the ex- cuSe for discussion of this all-abSorbing question at this particular time.
 It has been known for months past that the president would be viciously assailed because of his foreign policy, particularly with reference to his Mexican policy But who is there in all this broad land who could have done better. What particular man have you in mind, other than President Wilson, who could have kept us from an unholy war with poor old Mexico?
 Thousands upon thousands of Ameri- cans disagreed with the president when he finally recognized Carranza, but where is the man who today says he did not do the right thing at the right time? I was bitterly opposed to Carranza's recognition, not because Carranza and his advisers are incom- petent, but because it didn't look like the proper thing to do at that particu- lar time But Carranza's forces have wrought a great change in Mexico since that memorable October 8, when he was formally given recognition
 Changes for the general betterment of conditions throughout Mexico are of daily occurrence. Peace and quiet hover over the greater portion of the republic; business is being resumed; telegraph and railroad services have been re-established; mines are being ranchmen are returning to their homes; American property is be- ing protected; murder, rape and arson are gradually becoming nightmaes of the past-all this has been accomplish ed since President Wilson recognized Carranza.
 And all this has been brought about not by intervention, which would have cost thousands upon thousands of lives,

CARE OF BABIES WILL BE THOROUGHLY
 STUDIED

Nineteen-sixteen is Baby Year.
 The facts about American babies, the needs of Ameri- can babies, and Americas re- Sponsibility to her babies will this year be known as never before, because the first week in March will be Baby Week throughout the country.
 More than 400 communities representing every state in the Union, are already laying their plans for Baby Week, according to the Children's Bureau of the U. s. Depart ment of Labor, in order that during those seven days the needs of the babies may be presented that all the parents in those communities will learn a little better how to care for their babies, and all the citizens will realize that they have a special obligarlon to safeguard the conditions surrounding babies.
 And it is confidently be- lieved by those who are inter ested in this nationwide Baby Week that the remainder of the year will be marked by a strengthening of all commu- nifty activities for saving the babies lives and giving them better chance to grow to a healthy maturity.

PORTO RICANS WANT
 CITIZENSHIP

Whether Porto RicanS are to be successful this year in getting the United States con- gress to admit them to Ameri- can citizenship is the question uppermost in the minds of most Porto RicanS at present.
 Although citizenship has been promised since the days of the Spanish-American oc- cupation seventeen years ago, each congress since that time has failed to pass the neces- sary laws. The islanders are now hopeful that the first Democratic administration since 1898 will act favora0;y and give them a definite poli- tical status. At present Porto Ricans are merely "citizens of Porto Rico"
 In the hope that favorable legislation may be obtained, Gov. Arthur Yager will spend the month of January in Washington urging Congress to act.

OLD COPY OF SENTINEL RELATES NEWS OF YUMA IN GOLDEN PAST

nearing 90) can tell aboue those days
 The "big story" on the front page is communication from Colonel H C. Hodge, who had made trip on the up-bound steamer and was just about to reach Yuma when the thought struck him to write story of the trip. No newspaper of today could have done the subject greater justice, de- scribing the steamer Colorado as 'this old, but staunch sternwheeler, which left Hardyville the Saturday previous to April IA, 1S76." He tells who were fellow passengers, among them being Mrs. Frank Hodges, children and mother, of Ehrenberg." He describes the calss of freight that was taken on board at the different stopping places in which he says:
 The freight list comprises a large number of hides, ore and bullion. One bar of bullion taken on at Hardyyille was from the new Washberry mill, weighing 900 ounces; two from the Mineral Park mill of 2,40O ounces: live bars taken on at Aubrey from the Greenwood mill, McCracken mine. weight 492 lbs. avoidupois. There are also taken on at Aubrey IS tons of silver ore, and 10 tons of copper ore rom the McCracken mine; and at Castle Dome go tons of silver ore from the Flora Temple mine."
 That was precious cargo of freight, especially when it is taken into ac- count that MT. George M. Knight, the Yuma poet and attorney" was a pas senger.
 Even as far back as the date of this copy of the Sentinel it seems that the news gatherer was thinking of women, as note this:
 Woman is delusion, Madame" ex- claimed a crusty old bachelor to witty young lady. And man is always hugging some delusion or other" was the quick retort.
 At the time of the publication of that issue of the Sentinel, it was just in the process of changing hands, Judge Wm. J. Berry having bought out c. l.. Minor. It is therefore difficult to tell just which of these gentlemen was responsible for the following:
 Those old soakers never lack for argument. Lately one replied to a tem-

Yuma loses two good citi- zenS today, and Texas gains them, for MT. and Mrs. R. M. Black leave for their new home in Fl Paso today.
 MT. Black called at the Yu- ma Daily Examiner office to- day and presented Owner Editor Shorey with a copy of the Arizona Sentinel of the date of April P, 1876, which, when viewed with the Arizo- na Sentinel of today, of-which MT. Shorey is also owner editor, is really laughable- particularly some of the ad- vertiSementS, as we'll as some of the news items.
 On account of the ravages Of three fires during the long life of the Arizona Sentinel, this particular copy antedates anything in the office, and is therefore doubly prized, and in MT. Shorey'S name 1 take pleasure in most cordially thanking MT. Black for his precious gift, at the same time wishing him and his good little wife much joy and happiness in their new home.
 Here is one of the front-page ads that will doubtless cause some to smile; yet, in those days it was a reality-and may be repeated:
 Passage, Yuma to San Francisco, per Colorado S., N. Co.'s steamers: Cabin, $9O, coin; steerage $40, coin. Freight on wool, Yuma to San Fran cisco, $40 per ton. Accommodations first class. s. Polhamus, Jr., General 
 In those good old days there was a regular line of steamers from San Francisco to the mouth of the Colorado river, where they connected with the river steamers, operated by the same company. Many are the thrilling stories that Captain Polhamus (now

 Forty years have wrought no change in the Old Soak's argument.
 The following gives an idea of the high cost of living" in Yuma at that time as compared to TOW:
 Flour, per 100 pounds, $4.5O to $5.5O. Corn meal, per 100 pounds, 5000.
 Barley, per 100 pounds, $500.
 Beef, per pound, 121s cents.
 Mutton, per pound, 20 cents.
 Irish potatoes, 8 cents.
 Sweet potatoes, 6 cents.
 Cabbage, cents.
 Onions (strong), 121a cents.
 Eggs, $1 per dozen.
 Chickens (yellow-legged), 75 cents; black-legged, 50 cents.
 And they even played baseball here in Yuma 40 years ago, for the Sentinel gives big write-up of a game between the Yuma club and the c. A. Earnest club of Fort Yuma, with the score in detail, the game being won by the Yuma club in ''hotly contested game" by the score of 40 to 35 Some game, to be sure.
 Just one more item I wish to call attention to, and that is an item say ing that the cornerstone of the peni- tentiary wall was laid on the Tuesday preceding the issue of the paper, Sat turday, April 22, and among the collec- tions placed in the cornerstone was an issue of the Arizona Sentinel of April 15, 1876, together with some pieces of silver coin"
 What became of the cornerstone, with all these relics, when the walls were torn down? Or is the cornerstone still where it was laid? Recently, MT. Shorey and A. L. Verdugo made an eff fort to find it, but so far it's location remains mystery

A new one is now in course of construction, and the Seddons will make it their happy home, said MT. Seddon to the Examiner this evening.

There will always be n lurking fear
in her heart. almost from day 20 day,
that he may meet some other woman
whose charms he will consider supe-
rior TO hers. If she beholds his eyes
linger interestedly on any other wom-
an. hears him speak in praise of her
her sleeping jealousy is instantly
aroused, and he finds the jealousy Of
a sweetheart is nothing to what the
jealousy of a wife can be.
Like wild ivy, it poisons all with
which 1t comes in contact and, though
you may apparently pull it up by the
roots and destroy it, there is al
ways tiny fragment left in the soil
ready TO spring up at the slightest
provocation.
1t is generally the lovers fault If
his sweetheart is jealous of him. He
should check it as he would the seeds
of an epidemic at the first intimation
he has that it exists. If a wife is
jealous, that home is never a happy
one and both husband and wife feel it's

The young man who takes secret de-
light in arOuSing the jealousy of his
betrOthed sweetheart is sharpening
to its keenest edge a sword that will
cause him no end of trouble all
through his married life | wonder
how any sane man. can enter into the
plan of trying to arouse jealousy to de-
termine how much the girl really
thinks of him.
He should know that jealousy
arouses distrust. When confidence
has once been disturbed, it seldom or
never knows actual peace again.
In the days of early courtship a
man should make up his mind wheth-
er or not he has met the one woman
from among all others who can make
his life complete, Having once settled
this most important query to his own
satisfaction, proposed marriage and
been accepted, he should devote the
remainder of his single days to the
object of making the woman who is
to wed him as supremacy happy as
betrothed lovers should be.
1t shows a decided lack of fnteIli-
gence and manly kindness as well
for the engaged man to show undue
attention to any other woman, to the
embarrassment of his sweetheart. To
do so is to convey 10 her the impress
sion that he is not entirely satisfied
with her and is still looking around"
for someone he might like better.
A man should consider himself par
ticularly fortunate in gaining the love
of good, virtuous woman, and prize
it as a jewel beyond price. When
the serpent jealousy forces its way
into her heart it eats the flowers of
hope, shadows the sunshine of her
joy. The woman who is jealous of
her lover will not be overburdened
with confidence in him after the vows
at the altar have been spoken which
bind them TO each other for all time.

New Russian Oil Fields.

A newly verified Russian oil field,
with an area of about 10000 square
miles, or about twice the size of the
New England states, now energies
strangely from a mass of explorers
data to suggest pretty strongly that
current pesSimism over the decreasing
output of the oil fields of the Caucasus
is not well justified. This new field,
according TO Russia, the monthly organ
of L. Martens & Co., is located in the
Ural province, begins at the Caspian
sea, taking fanlike shape to the north
as far as the town of AleXandrovsky
Cal, runs nearly due east to the town
of Temir and from there in a southerly
and sOuthwesterly directions, following
the Emba river TO the Caspian sea
again. Although an attempt was made
by the government to encourage the
commercial exploration of this coun-
try as far back as 1899, no serious de-
velOpment work had been done until a
very short time ago. Russia more now
than ever is feeling effects of the high
prices of petroleum and it's absolute
necessity has led to the discovery of
these fields.-W u Street Journal.

In discussing the different costs the
investigators point out that the differ
ence between the net cost and the
gross cost for the different groups is
partly due to credit for manure and
largely to credit for milk products
from the COWS that were MIXED. The
high cost of maintenance of bulls
where baby beef calves are produced
is largely due to the fact that breed
ing bulls of high quality are neces-
sary. The bull charge is determined
largely by the number of calves pro-
duced per bull. While the COW charge
for raising a calf was lowest in the
dual-purpose group, the addition of the
cost of feed and labor for the skim
milk calves makes the cost of the calf
somewhat greater than in the double
nursing group. Winter feeding costs
indicate that there is comparatively
little difference in the cost of keeping
calves in the five groups other than the
baby beef after weaving time. The
credits" for baby beef calves, amount
ing to S7.53, include an allowance for
