There are three periods in all life-the

perfect fruit It is thus that gir1hood
energies into womanhood and womanhood
into motherhood. Almost all of the ills
from which women suffer have their incep-
ton in weakness and disease of the fe1ni-
nine organism, which bears the burdens of
wifehood and motherhood. These disor-
ders usually begin with puberty, childbirth
or with the turn of life" Thousands of
women suffer silently for years in this way,
rather than undergo the examinations and
local treatment insisted upon by the major
ity of physicians. This is unnecessary
An eminent and skil1fu1 specialist, Dr.
r. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, n. Y, long
since discovered a wonderful medicine
that will cure all troubles of this nature
in the privacy of the home. This medi-
cine is known as Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. 1t acts directly on the delicate
and important organs that make wifehood
and motherhood possible. 1t makes them
strong, healthy and vigorous. 1t allays in
fammation, heals liberation, soothes pain
and tones up the nerves. 1t banishes the
indispositions of the period of impending
maternity, and makes baby's advent easy
and almost painless. It transforms weak,
sick1y, nervous invalids into happy, healthy
wives and mothers. All good medicine

PRISON REMOVAL.

GRAHAM county is undoubtedly
opposed to the removal of the ter
ritorial penitentiary. 1t costs us
enough to convey convicts there
as it is, besides we cannot afford
an additional tax for new one.
1t is entirely unnecessary, and the
members of the legislature from
this county will undoubtedly vote
against the bill.
Besides, the prison records show
that the counties OF Graham, Co.
chise, Pima, Pinal and Yuma have
furnished double the number OF
prisoners that the whole northern
part Of the territory has.
In addition to this the Yuma
Sentinel gives the following ex.
cellent reasons why the prison
should remain where it is.
"Upon the question of clothing,
in the climate of Yuma, there IS no
need to use other than cotton goods
OF course, stripped prison goods
cost a little more than plain goods
and there are only two firms in the
| United States that sell these
stripped goods, having a monopoly
thereof The stripped goods fol
the prison at Yuma costs IA cents

Further, In Yuma, there is never

Why do not the farmers of this
valley plant artichoke for hog feed?
In this climate they will grow the
year round and they do not re.
quire much moisture. The Drover's
Journal has the following to say of
the st. Ann Jerusalem artichoke:
"Many have raised over thirty
pounds from one small root. The
roofs are highly recommended for
mich cows increasing the yield of
milk, and at the same time improv-
ing their condition. They are we'll
adapted to any soil where potatoes
can be grown. The tops, which
are produced in immense quantity,
when properly cured, make ex-
cellcnt food for cattle and horses.
A we'll filed package Of selected
seed roots, which costs 35 cents by
mail, post paid to any part of the
United States, makes a good start.
They are very polite ard it has
been demonstrated that one acre is
equal to nine or ten acres of corn
for cattle and hogs. If the arti-
choke fed is in connection with
the pasture, the hogs will do the
harvesting and save all the labor.
Many hog feeders arc satisfied that
the st. Ann crtichoke roots are
the coming hos food, and will be
preferred to any other crop.

A bill will be introduced in the
present legislature cutting mileage
down from thirty to twenty cents
mile. 1t is claimed by those
urging it that 1t is an injustice to
tax payers for officers to receive as
much for the same services now as
they did ten or fifteen years ago,
when the country was full of des-
perate characters of all kinds,
when it was almost worth an Off
GERS life to attempt to arrest one
of them, and when salaries of all
kinds were high, and produce was
worth a great deal more than it is
now.

AT the initial farmers institute
at Thatcher last Saturday night
very few were present, and but one
paper read. No organization was
effected on account of so few be-

must awaken to the importance of
these meetings. Come together
and discuss everything pertaining
to farm life, and your condition
will constantly improve. At the
next meeting we hope to see a
better turn out.

The Utah legislators are trying
to convince the Arizona Legislators
that it will be to the advantage of
this territory to have our northern
border annexed to that state. The
Utah lawmakers must have about
the save opinion of our legislators
as very smart fellow who runs a
newspaper in Salt Lake had of the
Arizona newspapers, when he asked
if they were published monthly or
yearly. But we imagine they will
find men in the legislature who
know better than anyone else
what is best for our territory.

THE people of Phoenix seem to
be rejoicing as much as those OF
Prescott, because they seem to see
a chance for the passage Of the
prison removal bill, claiming that
with the penitentiary at Prescott,
Phoenix will derive great benefit.
This bill should have the creating
of fund for the building of a
capital site attached to it as rider,
amended to read as follows: "And
the capital building shall be erect
ed and permanently located at

A VITAL QUESTION.

Commenting on the statement of
the Rocky Mountain Editor, pub
lished at Denver, that the news
papers Of Arizona are doing more
for the territory than all other
agencies combined, the Tucson Star
says;
"It is a fact that the newspapers
of Arizona have been q great lac
tor IN calling attention TO the
wonderful resources of the ter
ritory which has been followed by
the investment of capital in the
construction of railroads, the de-
yelopment of mines, the enlarge
ment of our stock interests and the
planting of the various industries
at different points in the territory.
Without the press and its work for
the last twenty years, Arizona to-
day would probably rot have over
ten thousand population, and in
stead of the cities the settlements
would be mere stage stations. The
reclamation of our lands which
are giving forth such large returns
to the farmer, metallic wealth
which is streaming from our mines
and the hundreds of thousands OF
cattle which are being shipped
from our ranges and the prosper.
Gus business which is throbbing
through our cities and settlements
is due more to the press of the ter
ritory than to all the other agencies
combined.

these facts, that the work of the
press is not more generally ap,
preciated and more gen erously sup,

assertion which cannot be success.

ly, in the territory of Arizona
which has been established for any
reasonable time that has not done
and is now doing more for the
community, county and territory
by free advertising and free dis
tribution Of information touching
the resources of the territory than
all Of the merchants, business men
and other industries combined, and
how few Of these sane merchants
and business men stop to consider
the advantage and good which
comes to them through this chan
mel, because If they did, there is not

would not receive much larger
and more liberal patronage from
these sources. Many business men
send abroad for their mercantile
printing and use every devise for
advertising their business other
than the newspaper, which is the
very life Of their community"
"The Star does not mean to say
that it is a lack of gratitude on the
part of these benefciaries, but be-
cause they do not stop to consider
what the newspaper is doing for
them in the counties and territory
at large, which makes them so in
