 N0T WORRYING

Juneau, March 9-RepresentatiVe George Price, arrived in Juneau il time to take his seat at the opening oe the legislature, after stay in Seward of several days, following his arrival there from Anchorage has warm spot in his heart for Se- ward.
 "The people there are wide awake and looking for all that is worth while toward building up a big town," said Price. q think some of the Anchorage people have the wrong view point on local jeal- ousy, believing that Seward is Wor- rying over Anchorage prosperity. From what I could see around there the people are too busy improving things and working for the general d .Yelopment of Alaska to worry about anything"

 There would be many developments in the United States. The millions of dollars worth of German vessels in American ports would be seized by the government and probably used as transports.
 Extreme precautions would be taken to protect all vessels plying between American and European ports. These would probably sail in fleets, accompa- nied by war vessels to protect them against the death dealing torpedoes of Germany's wonderfully efficient subsea fighters.

 The United States in opposing these activities would act under instructions issued by Rear Admiral William $. Benson, chief of naval operations. De stroycrs. the fastest vessels in the navy. would probably be the chief re- lianCC.
 It is doubtful if American troops would be sent to the trenches in Eu- rope. It is possible, however, that the regular army, a large part of which is now on the Mexican border, would be sent to the aid of the entente al lies. These troops are well trained and are in fit condition to enter the struggle. Major General Hugh L. Scott, chief of the general staff of the

Kidney disease is seldom fatal if treated in time, but peglect may pave the way. Don't neglect lame or aching back an- o+her day. Don't ignore dizzy spells, irregular or discolored ur- inc, headaches, weariness or de pression. If you feel you need kid ney help begin using the reliable time-tried remedy, Doan's Kid nev Pills. For 50 years, Doan's have been found effective. En- dorsed by grateful people.
 Mrs. s. o. Turner, 6OSh Tenth St.. Sacramento, Cal, says: "I un- derwent three operations and this severe strain, together with colds, affected my kidneys. I had pain through my back and could hardly stoop over for if tried to, pains caught me. My back and limbs v-ers so stiff couldn't move. My kidneys acted too often.

But through all her Illness she retained
beauty and charm OF character. Her

Invitations have been sent out by the
Alexandria Automobile Club for its sec
ond annual dinner to be held on the even
ing of February 20. This club, though
young in years. has already done much
for the improvement OF automobile con-
ditions in the Virginia city and surround
Ing country.
Making good" has taken the place Of
getting away with IT, In the automobile
business. The dealer Of today who is
successful is devoting his energies toward
not only selling his machines but keeping
them sold after they are in customers
hands: he sees that owners get service
A motor car Is an important investment
The initial cost is perhaps more than that
OF any other private purchase that the
average man is likely to make with the
exception of a home. Therefore the re-
sponsibility rests on the dealer to present
the merits OF his offer clearly and frankly
with no unjustihed promises, no delib-
crate evasions. The most successful
dealers are those who appreciate that
candor serves better than cant: that hon
esty is not only the best but the only
policy, and that car profitably sold must
be SO sold that It stays sold

This past Christmas has been one Of
the happiest I have ever spent. First
and best Of all. our little mother, who
told you has been so III. was well
enough to sit up and Join In the holi-
day spirit
Christmas Eve, Lottie. Jack and ar
rived at the hospital, with laden
Christmas tree. Creeping into the room.
We made our mother shut her eyes until
the candles were all lit.
It's q Christmas tree" she guessed
can smell the pine boughs and hear
the tinkle OF the ornaments"
Then open your eyes," we ordered her,
while the dazzling candlelight gave q
eouch of fairyland to the gray-white
walls Of the hospital room.
After the exchange OF presents, read
all the beautiful Christmas letters which
were sent to us-some by friends we have
known for years, others by those un-
known friends whom some day I hope
10 have the pleasure OF meeting person
ally.
The tired nurses came to join US In our
merry-maling, while Lottie and 1 were
allowed to visit all ot the sick people in
the hospital who were well enough to
receive Us There were wan little child
rem who had been weighed down IN heavy
Iron casts for years-there were bed-rid-
den old people-mothers with little bun
dies pressed close to their breasts. Some
- were happy-some were sad; some were
Indifferent and others sent out word they
were Just too cross to see any visi-
tors at all.
But In spite Of the unhappy atmosphere
OF Illness, there was really general re-
toictng In the hospital at this Christmas
time.
On Christmas Day, Dorothy and Lillian
Gish came visiting, and what Joy we had
ha
usi For. as have written before, Doro-
thy, Lillian and 1 were playmates in those
transforming days OF our theatrical
Suth.
Think of it. Mary-we have grown
upF' cried Lillian, clssping her little white
butterfly hands together. But even as
she said It, I had to study hard to see
where she had changed-she still has
the same big, baby, blue eyes and the lit
tie red rosebud mouth. 1 wish the ad-
mirers OF Dorothy and Lillian Gish would
see them Off the screen; then they could
appreciate the more the exquisite deli
'cacy and charm OF their coloring.
Besides the "reminiscences, the girls
brought US all the news Of the Western
studios and spoke often OF the roses in
California and the sunshine.
"Ons OF the most impressive sights We
saw IN Los Angeles" they told US, was
the funeral Of old Jim Kidd, the famous
cowpuncher of the West
For the last two or three years, Jim
Kidd. who was seriously injured when
his horse fell over a 150-foot cliff, has
been more or less an invalid, although
with the cowboys stoicism and pluck. he
would never give up the ship, as he ex-
pressed it.
Douglas Fairbanks, who the cow
boys admire more than any man who
has ever came out OF the West, has been
taking care OF old Jim Kidd and giving
him all the comforts which appealed to
his old age. But, as he told Douglas, he
was expecting any moment to hit the
The Washington herald., 1917-01-31

trail on a long, long Journey And the
call came just few weeks ago.
Douglas Fairbanks was at his bed
side when he died, and to Douglas he
left his saddle, the dearest possession Of
cowboy. At the funeral the cowboys
from all over the state came dressed in
their full regalia, riding their little West
ern horses. Following the hearse was
Jim Kids faithful old horse. and be-
hind the horse was one Of the old-fash-
ioned stage coaches which brought the
mail to the ranches in the early fifties.
Jim Kidd had driven many such a coach
through the rocky passes and across the
desert wastes.
After the funeral, poor Douglas Fair
banks received telegram saying his
mother was very Ill. and when the cow
boys saw him on at the train, there was
pail of silence over everyone"
While Mr.. Fairbanks was travenns
from California to New York, a terrible
snowstorm hurled itself across the mid
die Western states, causing a railroad
blockade. Hundreds Of kilograms were
sent to him, keeping him well posted as
between the lines and knew that when
they could hold out no hope to him, the
end was drawing very near.
There is an ache in the hearts of all
his friends and admirers-for he has
made many OF them in his few months
on the screen. Perhaps you have read
1t or perhaps I am telling you for the
rrst time-but poor Douglas Fairbanks
arrived Just a few hours too late.
In the future when he laughs at you
from the screen. you will remember his
own words to some OF his friends. Like
the clown. Pierot, I must go on laughing
and singing for my livelihood-with the
tears eternally in my heart"
