I.n Prl.oner. on the Roads.

The suggestion made by Sheriff Cook that the prisoners sentenced to the county jail should be required to work on the county roads is one that should have the careful consideration of the toard of supervisors In times past the Idea has been discussed from time Co time by ;he supervisors. but nothing has been done. AS the sherin points out. The prisoners might not work with consuming enthusiasm. but in the course cf months they would ac- cornplish a great deal. and make inl- provements whic1 otherwise would cost the county a great sum of money. Al nearby points are abundant sup rIies of dlslntegrated granite. which has been found an Ideal material for road making Every nile Of road treat ed with this material becomes not only permanent improvement but an ac- tuaI asset. It is now generally recog- nized that good roads contribute di- rectly Go the prosT erity of a ccmmun- lty. On the railroads between Phoenix and Tempe the supplies Of road mater ial are lnexhaustib e. and doubtless the supervisors could arrange with the railroads for the transportation of granite at sery moderate cost.
 Ultimately. no doubt a sound con- sidsration of the Trison-labOr problem wIn lead the auth 3rlties 10 make the construction of roads one Of the chief sn the peaitentiary. iut innovations of that character mus await the pleasure of legislators. No legislation is re- quired. however. co authorize the en- ployment of jail prisoners on the roads

WRESTLING AWAY DYSPEPSIA

When the throes of indigestion and the qualms of dyspepsia are making your life miserable. just purse the lips and whistle a brisk merry tune
 Not in a muffied, doleful. half heart ed whistle. but a whistle so deep and voluminous that the whole house will be filled with the sound.
 Indigestion and dyspepsia always make one feel gloomy and depressed and morbid and blue. Everything seems to go wrong, and doubtless you won't feel one bit like whistling. But no matter. whistle anyhow.
 If possible. go out in the fresh air and do your whistling. If you can't go outdoors. just open the window wide and whistle with all your might. Any old tune will do, so you put life and vigor into it.
 Whistle. whistle. whistle. Keep it going. Don't get tired. Go on with all your might. Harder. harder
 The first thing you know the stom- ach will have rested itself, the liver will be working good and strong, the blood will be booming through your veins, your brain will be clear and vigorous. and you will feel twenty years younger.-Medical Talk.

To eat a grape a minute for an hour
at a time, and to repeat this perform
ance three or four times a day, eating
very little else meantime but dry
bread, may seem q monotonous way of
spending the time. This treatment
works wonders for people whose di-
gestions have got out of order from
worry or overwork. It is no mere quack
prescription, but form of cure recog-
nized and advised by many well-knOwn
physicians. Grapes are, perhaps, the
most digestible of any fruit in exist
ence.
A cordial made from blackberries is
greatly recommended by the DRgon-
shire country folk as a cure for collie,
and many a farmers wife makes black
berry cordial as regularly as elderberry
wine. The latter. heated and mixed
with a little cinnamon, is one of the
best preventiveS known against q chill.
The flowers, too, of the elder come in
useful An ointment made by layering
them in mutton suet and olive oil is
most soothing in case of boils. Now
adayS doctors forbid equity patients to
eat any kind Of sweet foods but rec
ommend them to eat at least a dozen
walnuts a day. There is no doubt that
walnuts are most useful to equity sub
jects, or in cases of chronic rheuma-
tism. Swelling goes down and pain

FRUIT INSTEAD OF DRUGS.

Many of our common fruits are just

stance. Not only is the apple an ex-
cellent purifier of the blood, but it is
a cure for dysentery, and has also the
peculiar effect of restoring an intoxi-
Gated person to sobriety. A diet of
stewed apples, eaten three times a day,
has worked wonders in cases of con-
firmed drunkenness, giving the patient
an absolute distaste for alcohol in any
form.
The pineapple is another fruit most
valuable in throat affections. Indeed,
it has saved many a life of a diphtheric
patient The juice squeezed from a
ripe pine is the finest thing in the world

which coats the throat IN diphtheria,

BORE TEN TONS OF FRUIT.
Enormous Product of the Famous
Santa Barbara Grapevine.

The largest grapevine in the world
was one growing at Santa Barbara,
Cal There is no record of its &c at the
time it withered and died a few years
ago, but from events connected with
the family upon whose ground it grew
it was believed to be IS or 100 years old
The measurement of its trunk is given
as three feet ten inches in circumfer-
ence and the arbOr was about rs feet
square. Its death was believed to be
course of a small stream that had flow
ed near its roots.
But another vine near by, a cutting
from the original, had attained to nearly
this size, so that Santa Barbara could
still boast of having the biggest grape
vine in the world" In 1899 this vine
succumbed to a disease of the roots
perhaps invited by age, and its body
now rests in the Santa Barbara cham
Der of commerce. Its regular trunk at

five feet seven inches at fOrty-tWO

four tons in a season. It was believed
to be rs years old
In the Carpinteria valley. a few miles
further from the city a third vine has
surpassed both of the others in size. It
was planted in 1912 by Joaquin LugO De
Ayala and has, therefore, just completed

Never heard of that? Why. it was
this way: Once upon a time. before
corporations grew into trusts, there was
an honest lawyer who got into heaven
Well, he wasn't much on the high notes
of the golden harp and his soul was
somewhat bored. so he started out to
see if he couldn't start a litigation in
heaven. The first man he met was St.
Joseph
" St joe he said, sympathetically.
YOU get a mighty rough deal in this
game, don't you@
q How's that?' inquired the saint
mildly.
Why, according to legal procedure
your seniority would entitle you to the
job of dOorkeeper. with all the little
graft on the side. Peter has just done
you out of it all.
That's a fact, said the good St.

he has. but how can L frame it up to
get back the job?'
Easy enough said the lawyer.
You just leave it all in my hands and
I'll get out an injunction that will keep
Peter from opening the door.
With due form the lawyer applied
and got his writ of injunction, the
pearly gate shut and stayed so, while
the crowd outside was immense. But
Peter was also next the game and he
went into court and alleged that St.
Joseph had secured the only lawyer in
heaven and that as he was entitled to
counsel he asked that the injunction be
( temporarily vacated and the case post
poned until another lawyer appeared
This was granted and Peter went back
to the door. But after that no lawyer
ever passed the heavenly portal
