SIT is time for the people who pre-
dicted two or three months ago that
the cham Der of commerce couldn't do
anything, to call in their predictions
for revision" said Ernest E. Russell,
secretary of the chamber, to HERALD
reporter today. During the present
week three committees and the board
of directors have held meetings. Every
meeting has shown a quorum, and in
two cases six of the seven members of
the committee were present. One OF
the committees, that on excursions
and conventions, has met vice. Thus
there have been no less THAI five
meetings during the week.
"Nor is that all; not only did the
committees meet but their proceedings
in every case gave evidence of lively
interest and Intelligent. energetic de-
votion to the subjects i'm media tely be-
fore the members. In every commit
tee there is enough enthusiasm to keep
the machine humming. and at the same
time enough conservatism 10 the COM
mittee on the board of directors to
prevent the machine from running
away with itself and wrecking the
whole thing.
1.-THE chsmbe now has an assured
income of over 5000 per month. That
looks like quite biz of money. But
there is needed at least 500 per month
more to provide suitable quarters and
meet running expenses,i If the chamber
is to rise to the full measure of possible
usefulness. It is surprising how many
inviting avenues of action lie open to
the chamber"
In the Sierra Msdre country the only
tobacco obtainable is the native Sonora
leaf, which Is cured, dried, and broken
up by hand for smoking. 1t looks like
q cheap grade of cigar scraps. but is
much appreciated by the natives, and
by anyone who has been out of to bacco
for q few days. 1t ia brought up by
the Mexicans from the lower valleys in
the edge of Sonora near the western
base Of the mountains, and sold in bulk
at q moderate price.

A WORD OF CAUTION.

The old saying that g man, who is

And in this particular woman has no
more privilege than man. She can't

cation and medical knowledge.

qualifications claim to & We medical
ADVICE that word of caution is neceS-
sary.
Don't write for medical advice to any
one, man or woman, who is not a ply
sician. If they are physicians they will
take the title of physicians or doctors SO
don't claim that title it is because they
dare not, for fear of the law.
Do not forget that there is just as
much difference in doctors as in artists.
Every little town has its artist who draws
and paints. But these " artists gener-

found no help at the hands of doctors of
lesser skill and narrower experience.
Any sick or ailing woman, suffering
from the distressing forms of disease
peculiar to women, is invited to con-
suit Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. Such con-

HERE AND ELSEWHERE
OF Donqs Of Ell pao ghbors And Of


following pair of contrested stories
comes to mind.
A railway train ran over valuable
COW belonging to an old German who
lived near the right of way, and the
general superintendent of the line gave
the claim agent fifty dollars. with in
structions to call on the German and
see if he could settle with him for that
amount. The claim agent had an idea
of bis own in this particular case. and
when he reached the Germans house,
the latter being out in the garden at
work, he hailed him with:
''Look, here. you old Dutchmau !!
Why don't you keep your Internal old
cow at home, instead of letting her get
on our track and damage our trains?
Don It we go TO the expense of keeping
on right of way fenced in just to pre-
vent lot of fool cattle from getting on
our track, throwing our trains in tie
ditch, and causing the loss of valuable
property worth thousands OF dollars:
Now what do you think you'll
settle for?'
"Vell," replied the German" hat
only tree tollar In mine pocket, aber [
gifts you dot"
The claim agent Immediately accept
ed the offer, and had the German sign
the necessary papers releasing the
company from the possibility of any
litle alton over the matter, which was
done then and there.
In another case a woman was accom-
panying tho rema aims of her husband
home to the east, when the train she
was on was partly derailed, the express
car rolling down an embankment and
splitting its contents about. In the
midst OF the debris of express and bag
gage the woman found her husbands
body lying where it had been thrown.
the box and casket having been
smashed in the wreck.
The woman pulled the body thus
liberated over TO the foot of a nearby
tree, where she knelt over it weeping.
A claim agent of the pany, who
bad been aboard the train, approached
her and opened negotiations looking to
