convincing proof that the kidneys and blad-

Why shouldn't we beautifya What

whose hair is not all nice ard clean
ly, or whose complexion is covered
with rouge and white-wash? Some
men may want to, but they are not
the kind of men that we like. 1t is
the women of good mental balance
who appreciate the fact that it is
not an absurd or trivial matter to
wish to be well-groomed, sweetly neat,
charming of and dear to
know. When you sift down the beauty
question you must arrive at this con
clusion: The object of personal
loneliness is to please, to inspire af-
lection, respect, admiration. One
may have all the regularity of fea-
ture and symmetry of form ever al
lotted to one individual, and yet that
beauty is of mighty Httle account if
the lady of loveline IS is unlovable,
disdainful, over-bearing and rude.
Unless beauty sinks into the soul it
is not of the complete sort. It is
just a remnant that isn't worth the
cheap price mark that is put upon
it. There is inspiration in the pic
ture of a beautiful girl. There is en-
couragement In the smile of a good
woman.
i. So, AGAIN, let me say-beautify
your body, your heart and your mind.
Look after your health, for health
and beauty are akin. Look after your
conscience, for a clean, fine consci-
ence gives a beauty to the eyes that
nothing else can impart. Look after
your mind, for learning is a stimu-
liant and a JOY.
We can scarcely hope to learn so
very much. for our stay here is not
very long and there's lots of work
to be done, but we can try to learn,
learn, and in the trying we will find
great happiness. So a little reading
must be gotten into the day somehow,
a little sound reading the kind that
make you stop and lean on your
hand and say: "There's a lot in that,
isn't there" For reading makes the
mind grow brighter. Tits like taking
a great, soft, glowing light into a
darkened room. If more people read
good books, fewer people would be
worrying about their troubles.
At night not one bit of work should
be done. For you have been working
during the day and your rule is:
When you work, work as if you
mean it; when you rest, rest all over.
1t is a mistake to drag the days
tasks through the evening. That is
the time for rest, and by resting you
will better equip yourself for the next
efforts. Evening is the time
for recreation, for loafng hours, for
relaxing, dropping down into a lazy
among cushions and thinking
of the crazy things and pleasant
things-and sometimes the sweetly
serious things of life. Try burying
yourself in a book that you have
longed for, but had no time in the
busy day to Peep inside the covers.

Have I thought unkindly of my

Have I thought unkindly of my
acquaintancesY
If you are human, you will have to
acknowledge certain shortcomings,
but the acknowledgement will be a
promise to yourself that you will do
better tomorrow.
All reads nice, doesn't it? We real
ize, however, that this sunshine menu
will have variations each day. Some
timess there are changes. The stove
pipe falls down, or the floors have
to be oiled or scrubbed, or the cook
says Sbye" and goes her way. But all
these things are a part of life. and
don't count. And don't you let them
count. For happiness and sunshine,
my dear, is simply lifting yourself
above the trivialities of life and gain
ing self-respect, poise, balance and
content thereby. For goodness brings
greater goodness to one. To be a good
friend, is to make good friends.
The better one grows in character,
the better ideas and ideals come to
one and all. the more will one find
in ones friends those things to like
and admire, and sunshine and happi-
ness every single day.

A SUNSHINE DAY.
Practical Suggestions for Putting Sum
shine Philosophy Into Effect.

AhAOS AAJ -, WIN OoJO III Onl1IhS
it would be just lovely to have a
whole sunshine year-three hundred
and sixty-fve days-but every once
in awhile she loses a day, and then
she gets DISCOURAGED"
Bless your heart, dear. You do
lose the day when you don't make
it a sunshine one. And to make those
tire hundred and sixty-fve days "just
lovely" is to have them "just love-
full"
Begin your sunshine the first thing
when you wake up in the morning.
As 500 as you open your eyes, get
a good, nice, sunshine thought into
your head.
= Don't begin the day hating some
body OF planning some little mean
mess of which most human mortals
are sometimes guilty.
Say to yourself:
"Hello there. old girl. Had a good
sleep, didn't you? What sort of a
day was yesterday anyhow? Sort of
unpleasant, wasn't it? There was
that argument with Hattie about
busting the bookcase. You need not
have been quite SO persistent or
snappish if she did impose on you.
And then there was that curt reply
you made to Mr.. Smarty. Let him
be smart if he wants to; you don't
have to be rude. And then-oh, well,
this is going to be better"
Then you hang up this weather
bulletin in your heart: Cali sunshine;
not a cloud, you can bet your boots"
Turn the search-light into your heart
and put a check rein on unkind i'm
pulses. Then you are prepared for
n beautiful sunshiny day.
Then down stairs to breakfast, or to
help get it, not forgetting your "good
mornings" to those whom you love.

After breakfast you are supposed
to go to work, and of course this
part of the program must be filled
in by each individual Sinner accord
ing to her daily table of duties and
\ occupations, but do not forget that
the ambition to be neat and trim and
n clean and tidy is another good cause.
When you are sweet and dainty and
charming and interesting you are do
ing the world a kindness.
If you would be loved you must
be neat and tidy and sweet to look
upon-and who is there that would
not be loved?
This applies to young and old and

into the habit of saying you "haye

 PHOENIX, Jan. IS.
 Gentlemen:-Notice has come to me from the Hon J.F. Wilson, Delegate in Congress from this Territory, that in the Congress of the United States the enemies of statehood for Arizona are making every endeavor to secure the passage of a bill uniting Ari zona and New Mexico as one state, claiming that the people of this Territory are by no means united against such movement; that they have not so expressed themselves; that only the pollti- clans are taking such stand; and suggesting that the people of Arizona meet and express their
 
 views upon this vital question, affecting the interests of the whole people of tn. Territory, by resolution or otherwise, as they deem most fit, and at the earliest day possible, submitting the result of their deliberations in writing to our Delegate for presentation to Congress. In order, therefore, that the views of the people of Arizona on this momentous question, affecting most seriously their welfare, may be had and presented to Con- yress in the immediate future, l, as Chief Executive of the Terri tory, do most earnestly recOm- mend that you take as soon as possible such steps as you, the executive board Of your county, shall deem fitting and best to se- cure from the citizens residing in the various sections of yourcoun- ty an expression of their views upon this subject by suggesting that they gather in mass meet ing or convention or by such other m.ans as you shall deem best, and formulate the same for rransm.sslon to Delegate Wilson, House of Representatives, Wash ington, D.

 The territories of New Mexico and Arizona have closed their hearings before the house com. mittee on territories. and the statements of the witnesses are now being printed Oklahoma will begin her hearings immedi. ately. Three or four days will be lost because of the contest of his seat in the house which Delegate Mcclure has on hand.
 Both Delegate Rodey and Dele. gate Wilson are said to have made the best statements for their respective territories that have heretofore been made in any congress.
 As soon as they are printed they will be distributed on the floor of the house to members ol Congress and to Senators, to the chlet newspapers, and numbers of them will be sent home to the territories.

A Sad Death.

We clip the following particu- lars of the death of Fred Wells Nelson, Jr., from the last issue of the Winslow Mail;
 | Fred Wells Nelson, IT,, the six months-old son of Mir. and Mrs. F. w. Nelson, died suddenly at their home at about 1:3O o'clock yesterday morning. The little boy, outside ofhaving contracted a little cold, seemed to be in good health on being put in his little bed Thursday evening. About II o'clock that night he awoke and began crying. Mir. Nelson took him in his arms and in the space of half an hour had the little tel. low asleep again. Mir. Nelson, being fatigued, retired also. About I:3O o'clock, Mrs Nelson awoke and putting her hand on her little sons tace, felt it was cold. She awoke Mir. Nelson and told him she thought their boy was dying. He hurriedly dressed and summoned Dr. Sampson, but before he and the doctor had got to the house. little Fred, the joy and comfort of father and mother. had left this land for a better land above. His sudden death is attributed to heart failure.
 The many friends ot Mir. and Mrs. Nelson extend to them in this, their sad hour of affliction, the most heartfelt sy:npathies.
 The funeral services were held at the residence of Mir. and Mrs. Nelson on the corner of Second street and Warren avenue, Sun day, Jan. IT, at 1;3O o'clock.
 Mir. and Mrs. Nelson's sad ,at. fliction will be read with deep sorrow by their many friends in this section.

Her Strength Sometimes Taxed Beyond
Limit. A Graduate of the New York
Training School Tells How She Recuper-
ates After Heavy Strain.
The trained nurse plays very important
part in the modern treatment of disease,
greatly to the relief of both doctor and
patient. Because she is well disciplined
she is able to perform difficult service and
to endure fatigue in a manner that excites
admiration and wonder.
She is human, however, and in trying
cases the demands upon her strength prove
excessive She fulfils her duty nobly to the
last moment but, as soon as she is relieved
she is compelled to build up her own weak
ened powers. She naturally wants the REM
edy that will restore her efficiency in the
shortest possible time, and as her knowledge
of medicines is wide, her choice is likely to
be a sensible one and remarkably good
guide for everybody else.
Every word of the following careful state
ment of Mrs. Jessie NJ. F. Cummings, of 81
Whtmore street, Hartford, Conn.,, a gradu-
ate of the New York Training School for
Nurses, is entitled to the weight which at
taches to the utterance of an expert:
"Several months ago." said Mrs. Cum

l expected to, and can say with truth aud
pleasure that the remedy is a splendid tonic
for woman's nerves"
The soundness of Mrs. Cummings opin-
ion is confirmed by the experience of nuner-
Gus sufferers from nervous disorders of
every kind and degree, from simple debil-
ity~tO partial paralysis. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have cured obstinate cases of neural
gia, prostration, sciatica and St. Vitus'
dance: they have even conquered the most
frightful of nervous diseases, locomotor
ataXia, after the patient had been reduced
to state Of hellplessness and had been told
to prepare Tor death.
They check waste and begin to minister

full the builder aud contractor, Capt.

yery rough water one may judge from
the fact that while the lightship is
held in place by mushroom anchors,
weighing 5000 pounds, she has been re-
peatedly torn away from her moorings,
and early in April some years ago was
adrift three days, and during the same
year at one time she dragged the big
anchors some two miles from the sta
ton. Two lightships are maintained
for the position, one acting as relief
to the other ship.
Later in the day we fell in with big

found ourselves in New Yrok harbor.
