1t is not generally known that castor
oil may be most easily taken mingled
with orange Juice, little sugar being
added if the juice of the orange is not
sweet. The difference between this and
any other mode of taking this valuable
medicine is surprising. Into very thir
glass, a portion of juice should be
squeezed; then the oil should be poured
upon this and more juice should be
squeezed upon the oil, which may be
seen to float in a layer between the two
layers of orange juice. If the edge OF
the glass is rubbed with orange, the
fruit will be the only thing tasted as the
dose slides down the throat.

SimDle Jewel Case,

A jewel bag for carrying ordinary ar
ticles of jewelry in daily wear is made
with sash ribbon, lined with soft chamois
leather. A pretty effective ribbon, eight
inches wide, should be selected twelve
inches long; lay the piece of leather on
it and cut it to the same size. Cut other
pieces of leather to form pockets, with
overlapping flaps. These flaps are stitch
ed on first, then the long pieces, divided
by narrow white binding ribbon neatly
stitched on. There are three pockets at
one end of the leather foundation, each
one being three inches square, and two
at the other end, three and a half inches
deep and four inches long. Each flap is
bound with the white ribbon and has a
loop on it to fasten it to the small pearl
button sewn on to the pockets. A piece
of canvas is attached to the back of the
wash leather to render it firmer. Down
the middle of the sachet is narrow
piece of the fancy ribbon padded with
wadding two inches wide, over which
fold two flaps sewn on at each end, join
ed by button and loop, and matching
those over the pockets. This is for fancy
pieces of all kinds. When all this work
is finished, lay it on the length of fancy
ribbon and bind all around with the
narrow white ribbon. 1t folds up in
three divisions and is secured by rib
bon passed round it. Nothing can fall
out. Watch and jewelry keep in their
respective places and remain bright by
contact with the fine leather for any
length of time.-McCall'S.

Ailments Caused Through Want OF
SIeeD

There are many who will agree with q
we'll. known doctor, who declares that
half of the ailments of children arise
from insufficient sleep. He recognizes
that the same difficulty exists in the case
of adults, and in recent conversation
upon the subject said: ut is not only
children, but adults, that are falling into
nervous insanity from this cause. They
live too fast, and it affects people of all
ages. St. Vitus' dance, which is one Of
the most wearing of diseases, is the con-
sequence of lack of sleep, although it is
often wrongly ascribed to lack of proper
nourishment. Children live in such a
rush that they are worn out before they
arrive at maturity" "What would you
do to remedy this state of things?"
81 would keep them in bed, and give
them plenty of sleep and tonics. |
would make the youngsters 60 to bed
with the chickens and get up with them.
In addition, would see that they got a
two hours nap in the afternoon. Plenty
of sleep is the panacea for most of the
ills of childhood, particularly those OF a
naryOns nature ~

water at different places, both the un- derground and river supply, and also to determine the effect on the land of the use of water from different sources.
 A POOR MANS MlNE-Announce-, ment was made recently that Judge Woy, formerly of Mesa City and M. J. Galpin. N. Golf and A. w. Galpin of this city had bought a five sixth inter- est in group of six mining claims four miles from Globe, the seller retain- ing the other sixth interest. So far only the assessment work has been done on the property and the deepest working is a sixteen foot shaft from which ore is now being taken out. It has been frequently assayed and the results were always flattering. Yes terday the Phoenix men received from Judge Woy. who .is on the ground, sample of ore, wit the information that he had twenty sacks just like it ready for shipment and was still digging. The ore was as- saved by J. A. Porterie and returne $2413.40 per ton in silver or over $100 per sack. They propose to ship a ton of it to the smelter and see what re- turns they get They say they have big ledge they can trace clear across the property and it all looks like this If it holds out they can-stand free coin age at the ratio of 32 to 1 and still make money.
 BEACH ENTERPRISES-Mr. A. E.. Brock of Redlands. Cal, is in the city representing the .Oceanside Improve ment Co.,. an organization of Redland's capitalists at the head of which is k. C. Wells, who is also president of the Union bank of Redands, d well known financial institution. The Oceanside Improvement Co., is putting on tue market a fine tract of beach property at Oceanside. The company has ex- pended large sum in the improve ment of the property which it is now offering on desirable terms. MT. Brock is establishing agencies in all the leading Arizona towns for the sale Of this property, having placed the Phoe- nix agency with Taylor &s Sons. He will leave tonight for Tucson, Bisbee and other southern Arizona towns and after starting his business there he will return through Phoenix to Prescott and northern Arizona towns. Oceanside is a popular coast resort midway between Los Angeles and San Diego and has been for several years the summer home of Bishop J. NJ. Kendrick of this city. Arizona people are looking to- ward the coast more and more every year for the building of summer homes as well as a place to go to spend money. Many of them have conclud- ed that it is cheaper to own a little home on the beach and be independent than it is to hunt new quarters every year and pay high rents. Quite 2 number of Phoenix people have sum mer cottages there now and many more have bought and are buying lots with that object in view, at various of the southern California beaches.

SCHOOL OPENS.

School began Monday, and
with children of all ages and
sizes hurrying up and down the
streets Canyon City certainly
looked like herself again. The
real work of the year began
Tuesday. Monday the teachers
employed the time in meeting
the new pupils, greeting the old
ones, classifying, and outlining
the course of study for the term.
REGULATIONS began in earnest
Tuesday, and the long vacation
has given way to a period of
work that means lots of worry
for the little folk.
A notable feature of the open
ing was the presence and inter
est of many of the school pa
trons-the parents. The new
school structure added a degree
of ma gniticence and permanancy
to the solemnity of renewed ed
vocational duties that was alike
impressive to both teachers,
students and patrons. School
opened with some 210 pupils
but just what enrolment will
be made for an average
during the term cannot be
easily determined until about
three weeks time shall have
passed. This is due to the fact
that there are yet ia miles bust
ly engaged in the harvest fields
who have express ed an intention
of moving in for the school as
soon as the crops are gathered.
But there is a sufficient number
of youngsters to give animated
appearance to school rooms and
grounds, vacated and silent foI
some time.
When one stops to consider
that these troops OF school chill
dren from tiny youngsters II
pinafores to young ladies with
their back hair done up, anC
from kniCkerbockers to long
trousers, run up into the hun
dreds, this mastering ofso many
regiments means no end o
work for those most concerned
and speaks volumes for The
coming of Greater Canyon
City.
Perhaps, best of all in Mon
days parade were the little tot
belonging to the first primary
rejoicing in their suddenly de
