MINE THIRTEEN YEARS
ON FIRE
There is a portion of the
united Verde mine at Je-,
viome. Ariz., that has fwn n-h
, fire for the past 'thirteen
i years and has defied all ef-
forts to put it out. That por
tion of the mine is bulkhead
ed off, and the rest of the
property is working along as
though no fire existed. The

Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who
Work In Yuma
Many Yuma people work every day
in aome strained, unnatural position
bending constantly over a "desk riding
on joltingwagons or cars doing la
borious housework; lifting, reaching or
pulling, or trying the back in a hun
dred and one other ways. All these
strains tend to wear, weaken and in
Jure the kidneys until they fall behind
in their work of filtering the poisons
from the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills

Their effective work .is convincing
proof of merit.

' 'THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Nov. 11.
The ' "tally' ho!" of a coach horn,
blown by an American calls out the
people of the villages in the vicinity
of The Hague two or three times a
week just now, as a well-equipped four
in-hand swings altmg the roads, the
team also "tooled" by . an American.
It is the war which is responsible for
this unaccustomed sight in Holland.
The entire proceeds of the coaching
trips are handed over to the various
societies for the relief of refugees
from Belgium and other non-combatants
of all nationalities rendered ne
cessitous by the hostilities in progress
in the neighboring countries. The
coach itself Is appropriately named
"Relief."
The idea was worked out by Mar
shall Langhorne, secretary of the
American Legation, and some col
leagues. He one day found a mail
coach relapsing into decadence in
livery stable. The sight of it took his
mirid back to the old coaching days
in "Virginia and, as he soon afterwards
met Aural Batonyi, the American
"whip" who had just come through
from relief work in Belgium, the idea
of coaching in aid of relief work and
at the same time combining with it
an element of' spdrt was born in
stantly. A four-in-hand team was got to
gether after much search; and was
soon- worked into shape, and the trips
began first to summer resorts in the
near vicinity and then extending to
Leyden and Haarlem and other far
off cities. Relay teams were sought
and found, available at convenient
stages and now the coach runs regu
larly with either Mr. Langhorne or
Mr. Batonyi holding the reins all the
receipts- from passengers going to the
relief of non-combatants, while the
parents of the idea themselves defray
the expenses and in return, get not
only their sport, but the knowledge of
cjoing a good turn to deserving people.

A statement given out by the com
mittee reads: '
"The heroism- of the Belgian sol
diers has won universal admiration.
"Thousands of them are now in hos
pitals in England and in France, de
tained in camps in Holland, and pri
soners in uermany.
"Suffering and deprived of liberty,
without news from their relatives how
somewhere in poverty or dead, the
anxiety of those brave men must be
most painful.
"Well educated as they are, and
without recreations any intelligent
person is looking for, nothing can do
more to alleviate their' sufferings than
literature in their own language.
"There is a real need among those
Belgian soldiers for books in French,
and Flemish, and to a certain extent
in English (especially works of travel
and novels, history, books on electrici
ty, mechanic, motoring, etc., and il
lustrated magazines of all kinds; also
grammars for the study of English;"
French-English dictionaries and vice-
versa). '

California shows a probably heavy
