STEADFAST CONFIDENCE
The Following Statement Should

to Every Emmett Reader.

Could stronger proof of the merit
of any remedy be desired than the
statements of grateful endorsers who
say their confidence has been undi-
minished by lapse of time? These
are the kind of statements that are
appearing constantly in your local pa
pers for Doan's Kidney Pills. They
are twice-told and confirmed with new
enthusiasm. Can any reader doubt
the following. It's from an Emmett
resident:
Mrs. c. Brown, First and Boise
streets, Emmett, says: "One morn
ing, while STOPPING over, | had a
sharp twing in my back that felt lust
as if my kidneys had been torn apart.
After that the pain was so steady
that | had to be helped up after /
had been sitting. | was very nervous
and the kidney secretions were in bad
shape. Someone advised me to try
Doan's Kidney Pills and l did. They
soon gave me relief"
No Trouble Since.

Brown said: 81 am glad to confirm

Meanwhile the people whose bust
! ness had always been to make the Ri
giera attractive, were looking each
other in the face. They saw nothing
but ruin ahead. But something desper-
ate had to be done, for the living of
many thousands depended on their de-
cision and its success. Just as brave
ly as the young men were fighting in
! the North, the older men in the South
put their backs TO the burden. They
got no sympathy from outside. They
must stand together and save the Ri
viera as their sons and younger broth
ers were saving the rest of France.
Casino Doing Its "Bit."
Few hotels were to remain shut for
the season, except those which were
needed for hospitals. The shops were
to do business as usual" and a great
petition was sent to the Casino not to
keep its doors closed il was more
sympathetic" it was more patriotic
TO open them. The Societe saw the
justice of this, since the life of the
Riviera might hang on their world.
Consent was given, though it looked
as if it meant a large monetary loss;
and on January 1, 1915, when the war
was six months old. the Casino at
Monte Carlo began to do its 'bit" by
the public, as already it was doing for
its employees.
By this time everything was getting
into full swing. But what a different
everything" from what we had all
Known! If you were not doing some
good work, public or private, you
were as much ashamed of yourself as
if you had stayed in London. Not even
an automobile dared to show its nose
unless it had Red Cross on it. And |
without its dust-raising hordes of mo-
tors the Riviera began to be won
drous new place, that had to be dis |
covered all over again. When you had |
finished your daily work of visiting
the poor or of suffering in some rock
village or hospital. when you had put
together your pile of knitted socks, or
the bandages you had promised to
make, you could actually go for quiet
joy forgotten since high-pow-
cred cars took over the Riviera.
Ordinary gaieties were given up, and
It wasn't fully realized yet how kindly,
how cleverly they could be organized
FOR doing good. In Mentone the tall.
black Senegalese soldiers had begun to
appear. at first TO be trained for new
lind of fighting; then, when they had
ought as invalids in the hotel-hoSpit-
lis. But, well or wounded. they were
| gay crowd. They made Mentone
picturesque with their costumes and
heir camp fires and their games in the
treets. S
Indeed, something in the sunshine l
nd salt tang of the sea made all the I
wellers in Riviera hospitals gay. I
here were few sad sights, for wound G
d men simply bounded back to health
gain, and it was good TO meet them G
n the Promenade DIES Anglais at Nice, q
n the Boulevard de la Croisette at
'annes. or the front at little Mentone. :
.lready the Monte Carlo casino had
egun organizing its Red Cross chari-
es; many women and girls in society
ad given up everything in order to =
ain for hospital work; but it was
My last winter and now at the begin
ing of this third war season that the r

there cOulu De no such
life: the Riviera must be dead-wiped
Off the map. Yet life, strange. new,
burning with interest and romance,
was born in the French Riviera Au-
gust 2, 1914, writes C. n. and A. NJ.
Williamson In the London Graphic.
Of course, the Riviera was struck
the same sweeping blow that struck all
France across her brave, astonished
face. AT the clang of the tocsin. the
men of the Midi ran out into the
streets of picturesque rock villages
among the hills and tourist towns
| along the sea, as the men of the North
| were doing. But the Riviera thrilled
under the menace of a peril all her
own. Just across the beautiful Gorge
of st. Louis lived a friend who might
in an hour become an enemy. Italy
was there, with her mountain forts
looking towards the forts of France.
Lazy, summertime Mentone and
Monte Carlo and Nice, with nothing
doing" except for bathers and baskers
on the beach, or faithful lovers of a
quiet game of roulette, walked up with
a Mortified start. Would Italian guns
begin battering the Cote d'Azur? Of
ficers motored secretly by night up to
the quadrilateral of forts in the noun
tains, taking ammunition in automobile
vans Communicated from the big
shops of Nice, those charming shops
where any thought of tragedy would
have seemed ridiculously out of place.
French and English and American
owners of villas rushed off some elder
ly members of the family past fighting |
age to pack away valued possessions, |
in case the gay, beloved pink-and-
white houses were blown down, or oc-
cupied by 'the enemy"
Flight Of the Workinq-Foik.
Panic-stricken, the Italian working
folk settled along the coast from Men,
tone to Marseilles started to scuttle
across the frontier. They feared in
ternment and hundred vague hor-
rors. Under the binding sun of Au-
gust, along the dazzling roads Of Up
per and Lower Corniche, marched an
endless procession, and those who can
imagine only professions of smart au-
tomobiles between Mentone and
Cannes would have thought themselves
dreaming that long black line. 1t was
4 line of men and women, old and
young, tottering children and babies in
lrms-in arms because the perambu-
ators were piled with the family bag
rage. And there were donkey-carts, |
caravans, every sort of
'ehicle.
Despite the tragedies of the march
children dying on the way) it had its
humorous side, because, as it turned
ut, the whole business was unneces-
airy. The next phase through which
he Riviera passed, however. was far
rom funny. She doesn't really fall as
asst asleep in summertime as those
Tho know her only in winter seem to
mink. There is always the wonderful
Passion Play" at Roquebrune. There
always a delightful bathing season,
nd in August the Azure Beauty is quiz
tly, almost stealthily, busy in planning
er winter campaign. In that historic
upust of 1914 the landlords and shop
eepers and amusement caterers of ev-
Y sort were improving their proper
es, arranging their advertisements
Id preparing for another season of
ace and plenty. Then suddenly came
e crash, and for them it looked the p
ID of the world when. on August 8, v
e Monte Carlo casino closed its doors. a
