Important

Of all the important pieces of furni- ture' in the house there are none that rank with the range upon which the meals are cooked. Bedroom sets and parlor furniture may differ in quality and beauty of finish according to the means of the owner; carpets may be of the finest texture and most beauti- full weave, or there may be no car pets at all. Pictures may ornament the walls, expensive vases and bric-a- brac may beautify the rooms. All theso good things make the house br .er and hal pier, but all are of S, ldary importance compared 10 tha. fpiece of furniture upon which the three meals a day are cooked for 365 days in the year. It is for these reasons that every household not all ready possessing a good range should have a MooRE's STEEL RANGE.
 You can buy a Moores Steel Range anywhere from $2O to $67.5O at Dav- idson's Cash Store. They have the largest line in Arizona Territory. They keep thirty-four different styles and all have square ovens drop oven doors adjustable fireboxes. They are asbestos lined, boiler riveted, and have draw-out ash pans. Every one is guaranteed to be the best baker you ever used, if you haven't used a Moore's and for saving of fuel they have DO equals. Remember these are not idle claims simply arising from the desire to sell all the ranges soli in Phoenix, although we would like to sell all of them. But every range we sell is sold with the understanding that it meets the claims we make or money refunded. In the meantime if you contemplate purchasing a range remember that it will pay you to visit Davidson's Cash Store, the store of bargains in Hardware, Ranges, Crock cry, Stationery, Guns, Cutlery, Tents WoodenWare, Tinware, Enamelled Ware Lamps and thousands of useful things

NE Is for muscles. NIH Some are weak, others EN strong.
 VE Your eyes can't be right 4 n If the muscles are wrong.
Arizona republican., 1904-09-05

The eyes are held in position by the extrinsic muscles, three pairs in each eye. These muscles are so nicely ba- lanced in normal eye that binocular vision is maintained at all distances without effort or strain.
 Any inequality of the strength of the opposing muscles causes strain and discomfort, sometimes giving rise 10 inflammation which at first yields read fly to treatment, but returns with in creasing severity.
 Most of the muscular troubles of the eye are only symptoms of some uncor- rected defect. As soon as the defect is corrected with right glasses the symptoms disappear.
 No matter what your symptoms are don't guess at your trouble. It will cost you nothing to consult us about it.
 IT you are not satisfied that we know our business you are placed under no obligation to follow our advice or buy our goods.

An Erratic Memory.

Of systems" both original and recon-
mended, but nothing succeeded fol
more than little while.

a wet compress bound about her head
"for my old school friend, Mrs.
There. hoped perhaps it would come
to me. but y hasn't. Well, she is here
in New York. and l met her on the
street and asked her to luncheon, and
I wanted you and Emma to meet her
But what can i do? How can l In
troduce her when can't think Of hel

The niece looked properly sympa'
thetic and murmured something abOu,
every ones having times of forgetful
ness.
But there's 10 reason for this,
moaned the sufferer. "fOr We have ex

no use; her name has gone, so ! doubt

,.ans OF no mean merit. the one group
sf natives who came early and thor
oushly under the influence Of the early
Spanish settlers.
Very different are the MOrOs, who
swept into the islands from the Malay
peninsula last Of all. bringing with
them their Mohamme,lan religion. also
a knowledge of gunpowder acquired
with the Koran from the Arabs-fana-
tics like their teachers, pirates. blood
thirsty, treacherous and vindictive fel-
iows, ever at war among themselves
md with the whole outside world. De-
spite their ferocity they are clever
race, dress handsomely, have their sui
tans and their slaves and are expert
seamen, while long continued pillage
on the high seas has surrounded them
with many Of the luxuries and conven-
fences Of western civilization.
The buildings Of Agriculture, Forest
ry and Fisheries show all the varied
natural products, also the extremely
primitive processes us yet In vogue,
while in the Women's building We are
introduced to number Of native man
ufactures, including the beautiful fab
RIGS from the just. banana and pine
apple fibers. This Information Is collat-
ed In the Building Of Commerce, where
q unique and most effective method OF
exhibiting is followed. In one hall are
samples Of all the articles produced for
export, among which manila fiber, OF
course, holds the chief place OF prom
inence, while In second hall are all
the manufactures from every country
that are imported and find ready
market among the populace. Thus the
business man gets dual lesson. He
sees what he can profitably take from
the islands. and also what he may
proftably send to them. When 1t is
added that large number Of represent
ative Filipinos have been brought over
to visit the Exposition and study Amer
can business methods and manufac-
lures, it will be recognized that great
benefit both to the islands and to the
world at large must result from this
work of mutual enlightenment.

"The stakes were put up and one OF
the gamblers fastened to the engineer
and bribed him to put on all the steam
possible. The party repaired to tht
deck. The whistle was blown. The
planter yelled, but his voice was mo-

Angora Goat Raising.

In last weeks Farmer find para
graph on Angora goats, sim liar to others
floating about, which is liable to mis-
lead some farmers anxious to make
money and at the same time improve
the farm. think these goats may be
used in many cases to advantage, but
they are by no means the mOney-makers
under ordinary conditions that this
paragraph would indicate.
LIST. 1t takes a high grade goat to
produce fleece worth 35 cents pound,
and such goats cost money.
I'd. 1t is pretty good goat that will
average to shear three pounds.
Sd. Angora goats are by no means so
immune to disease as we have been given
to understand. The Uuited States gov
ernment has issued bulletin on "Tako-
Sis very contagious disease among
goats, which states that when this 6y
no means uncommon disease gets into
herd, the fatalities are likely to reach
from SIS to 100 per cent. l have had an
experience of this sort and out of herd
of about 60 have but one fine goat left.
4th. No ordinary farm fence will
hold them, though a good woven wire
fence, like the Page (say AZ to 4S inches
high) is always safe, but a stone wall,
no matter how high, simply furnishes
gymnastic exercise for them.
They do cut the brush, but more than
one seasons feeding is required to kill it.
As business proposition, am inclin
ed to think that if the fleece and the in
crease of the herd will cover the expense
of carrying through the winter, the
improvement of the pastures may pay
for the fencing; but think any one ex'
pecting more than this will be very like

WEATHER AT WORLDS FAIR.
Cool Nights and Delightful Indian
Summer to Be Expected at st. Louis.

Summer to Be Expected At 81. Louis.
Usually the warmest month Of the
year, July proved to be one OF the most
pleasant Of the Worlds Fair season,
the average temperature being u de-
grees, record lower than that mace
by either Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia. Cincinnati or Chicago. Inc
weather bureau records show that the
temperatures I'm st. Louis during July
were Just between the extremes re-
corded at New Orleans and st. Paul,
cities located at great variance.
August In st. Louis Is month or
cool nights. and September and Octo-
ber are the most delightful months OF
the year. 1t is that period known az
Indian summer. when the foliage and
birds lingcr to challenge the coming
winter. Nowhere on the American con-
anent Is there spot more delightful
than the Worlds Fair city. a garden
of blooming flowers and spraying foun'
tains.
ST. Louis, like all cities, experienced
several hot days during July. but her
highest temperature recorded was 93
degrees against o. degrees registered
by the thermometer ut Chicago. On
the same day the mercury rose to W
degrees In Philadelphia, and scores OF
heat prostratiOns were reported from
New York and Boston.
The relative humidity shows 81
Louis to be about normal. Assuming
absolutely no moisture In the atmos-
phere to be zero and absolute wetness to
be 100. the relative humidities for July,
taken from the records Of more than
twenty years. Boston shows 7O.8. New
York 72.2. Philadelphia 8S.6. Cincin.
natl 64.8, Chicago $50 and St. Louis
88.3. The same degree Of heat In two
places, with different degrees Of hu-
midity. would cause 1t to seem the
hotter at the point Of greater density.
st. Louis may therefore rightly claim
to be a summer resort this summer,
positively one Of the most comfortaois
and delightful places on the map.
