GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION.

Washington, March 2

Tt is understood that if Britain allows Benton's case to await adjudication until a stable Government is. established in Mexico, the United States will agree to that course. President Wilson emphasised tne contention that foreign nations had no right to demand that the United States should look after their national interests, neither should they demand it. If G'eneral Carranza insists on the right not to deal with any Government in the interests of any other Government, a very grave situation will he produced, whereat the United .States will he compelled to take action. BRITAIN ON THE MOVE. (Received 11.5 a.m.) London, March .'5. Replying to Mr Bonar Law Sir Edward Grey said that several Americans had been killed in Mexico. "If," he said, "the United States thinks proper to take steps on behalf of their own or British subjects, we will gladly await the result. Otherwise we reserve the right to secure reparation, but we have no intention to send a force oi- to blockade the port." He added : "Britain does not intend to let the matter rest.' ;

A HINT OF VALUE. Those who get on in the world are those who never fail to take a valuable hint when it comes their way. Here is a hint which may prove of great value to yon. Mrs K. Howe, .late of Rosalind Street, Stratford, and now living in Parnell, Auckland, .says:—"For some time T suffered agony from backache, caused, I suppose, through my kidneys being out of order. The pain was intense, in fact, i was so had I could hardly move, and it was impossible for mo to attend to my work. I could not stoop without enduring torture, and when I tried to straighten my back I used to think it would break, the pain was so awful. The kidney secretions were much affected, being thick and cloudy, and my rest at night was very disturbed. Rheumatic-like pains in my shoulders also troubled me, At the time Dean's Backache Kidney Pills were recommended to me, I was feeling very ill, but as T had taken so many different medicines for my complaint without getting any relief, 1 did not think they would benefit me very much. However, to make a long story short, these Pills completely and permanently cured me, ami now f feel as well ns ever 1 did in my life. All aches and pains have vanished, and I attribute my present good health to Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. The most pleasing part of my cure is that it is over three years si?ice it was effected, and 1 have been perfectly well over since.' ' Don't neglect your kidneys, for if you keep the kidneys well they will keep you well. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills keep the kidneys well. "A word to the wise is enough." Doan's Backache.
