Beginning with tbe next cause
for ft fire alarm, the calls for the
different wards will be a short
balst of tbe whistle for ward
1; two for ward 2, and three
for ward 3. This signal will be
giren on the first alarm and re.
peated at the end of the wild-
cat alarm.
Arrangements are nearing
completion for installing a six-
inch whistle in the place of the
four-ioch now in use The con-
nections for this have been made
and the new whistle will be

Honor the name of Henri Du-
nant as tbe real founder of the
Red Cross. A care-free Swiss
traveler, he witnessed the awful
aftermath of the battle of Sol-
ferino, between the allied armies
ol Napoleon III, of Prance and
Victor Emmanuel II, of Italy
and the Austrians under tbe
then young Franz Joseph, and
was so profoundly affected by
the sufferings of tbe untended
wounded that he forthwith gave
his life to the amelioration of
•ach frightful conditions. His
book, "A souvenir of Solferino,"
startled thinking people with
humanitarian impulses into a
movement which eventually de-
veloped into the wonderful Red
Cross organisation of today,
horrible as this war it, without
reclaiming band of the Red
it would be too barbar,
ons and awful for hnman com-
n. Therefore all honor

Bring* you hours of misery at leisure or at

Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak Kidneys
Read.what a Belton citísen says:
Mrs. M? J. Curb, 220 N. Pearl Street,
says: "An attack of the grippe left my
kidneys badly weakened. I was ia agony
from the pains in my back and could hardly
take a deep breath. My kidneys were sore
and i knew from other symptoms my kidneys
needed attention. The different medicines 1
tooK brought little or no relief until I procur-
ed Doan's Kidney Pills from W. S. Hunter
& Co.'s Drugstore. They were just what
my system required and two boxes cured me".
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask
for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney
Pi us—the same that Mrs. Curb had. Foster-

Belton Knit Socks
in France.
Sometime ago Mrs. L. T.
Bnttc of tins city knit two pairs
"socks for the soldiers," putting
a enrd with her name and ad-
dress in them to ascertain where
they finally reached, Yesterday
she received from a Sammie,
a letter from "somewhere in
France," and a very nice letter
it was, thanking her very kindly
for the socks. It was from Ruy
Kelley of Company E. 129th
Infantry, whose home is at
Dundee, Illinois. Iu addition to
the thanks for the socks, among
other things he said: '*We are
all well and happy, and we have
a circus trying to understand
the French language " He con-
tinued, "Uncle Sam is sure giv-
ing us plenty to eat" and then
enumerated the eats, giving a
fine appetizing, solid and sub-
stantial menu
The letter was written in June
and probably since that time
"Satnmle" Kelley has seen sort.e
real action at the front.
