WruIent Cancer Cured.

Startling proof of q wonderful advance in medicine is given by Druggist G. W. Roberts, of Eliza beth, W. V. An old man there had long suffered with what good doc tors pronounced incurable cancer. They believed his case hopeless till he used Electric Bitters and applied Bucklen's Arnica Salve, which treatment completely cured him. When Electric Bitters are used to expel bilious, kidney and microbe poisons at the same time this salve exerts it's matchless healing power, blood diseases, skin eruptions, ul- cers and sores vanish. Bitters 50c, salve 25c at all drug stores.

Lordsburg Liberal The new in-
 terlocking switch which governs
 inc crossing of the Southern Pacific by the Bisbee road this side of
 Deming, proved its efficiency this week. The switch is arranged so that the trains for both roads can not get to the crossing at the same time. If 1t is set for one road and a train on the other road approaches it is automatically derailed before it reaches the crossing The switch man gave the Southern Pacific train a signal that it had the switcH when as matter of fact the switch was set for the Bisbee road. The Southern Pacific engine and several cars were derailed. It is satis- faction to both roads to know the switch works, according to guaran- tee, when put to a test, but they are a little sore because 1t works when 1t Is not wanted to. Mechan- ically the switch Is all right, but it must have more careful attend ance.

WHY LEAVES CHANGE COLOR.
Changes I'm Temperature and the
Work Of Jack Frost Are the
Principal Agents.

A leaf is composed of great num-
Der of cells, the walls of which are
brown. In the spring and summer
these cells are all filled with fluid, col
ored with minute grains of red, yellow
and other pigments, which, mixed to-
gether, appear green. In the autumn,
through the cold, oxidation and other
changes take place in the leaf-cells,
destroying more or less rapidly certain
of the color elements, says the Wom-
ans Home Companion. As soon as one
of these elements is gone the leaf no
longer appears normal green, but as
sumes the shade of the remainder Of
the color elements mixed together.
When only the red element is left the
leaf is red; when the yellow alone re-
mains. the leaf is yellow, and when all
the coloring matter is gone the leaf is
brown.
Frost is not the sole cause Of the
changes of color, but II is an important
cause. The more gradual the changes
of temperature from summer heat to
winter cold. the greater will be the
variety and brilliancy in the coloring
of the autumn leaves.

ages. Belden inquired for the whis'
ky, and was informed that in that
prohibition town there was no whis.
ky, except Mt drug store where il
might be procured in small quantities
on a physicians prescription. Belden
simply remarked: "I'm going out on
a foraging expedition" and inside OF
an hodr he reappeared with big
tin pail full of whisky.
He first went to the drug store,
rushed at the German-American pro-
prietor, calling: "Give me pound OF
fiax-seed, pint of linseed oil, and
a pint of turpentine, as quick as pos.
sible, I must save the life of that
horse, so please hurry"
The goods were hastily prepared,
and throwing ten-dollar bill on the
Belden rushed out saying:
"Never mind the change just now.
Time is everything with me-"
Then he went and bought new tin
pail, and covered the bottom with
pure spring water. Fastening into
the drug store, he shouted: Pour a
gallon of whisky onto this turpen-
tine, quick, and I'll save that horse
yet" Then he added: Don't stop to
measure it, just fill up the bucket and
hurry up"
The deed was done. The pure wa

druggist was unsuspecting. So Bel
den carried the whisky to the boys,
and renewed his wartime popularity
with them. But he wouldn't get whis-
ky for anybody nowadays.
