Increased Dcmnnd for Wool,

During the past decade manufacture
crs of dry goods have been using more
cotton and less wool In order to cheaper
the cost OF the fabric. The result OF
ket and a great depression in prices.
Methods were employed even in the
manufacture OF "wOOlen" goods where
cotton was mixed in very literally. Now
cotton has reached such a high price
that the demand for wool has increased
materially and prices have hardened
ON" Sheep men are glad to see affaira
take this turn for they are reaping some
benefit from the better outlet for wool.
II Is said the south will gain $500. 000, 900
this year by the rise In the price OF cot.

1t used to be considered that only urinary and
bladder troubles were to be traced to the kid
ncys. but now modern science proves that near
ly all diseases have their beginning in the dis
order Of these most important organs.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out
OF order, you can understand how quickly your
entire body is affected, and how every organ
seems to fail to do its duty.
If you are sick or feel badly" begin taking

they will help all the other organs to health. A
trial will convince anyone.

for many kinds Of diseases, and if permitted to
continue much suffering with fatal results are
sure to fHiow. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves,
makes you dizzy, restless, slceplcss and irritable.
Makes you pass water often during the day and
obligcs you to get up many times during the
night. Unhealthy kidneys cause rheumatism,

The cure for these troubles is DR.. kilmcr's
Swamp Root, the world famous kidney remedy.
In taking Swamp Root you afford natural help
to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect
healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that has
ever been discovered.
If there is any doubt in your mind as to your
condition., take from your urine on rising about
four ounces, place it in a glass or bottle and let
it stand twenty-iour hours. If on examination
it is milky or cloudy, if there is a brick-dust set
thing. or 1t small particles float about in it, your
kidneys are in need OF immediate attention.
Swamp Root is pleasant to take and is used
in the leading hospitals, recommended by physi-
clans in their private practice, and is taken by
doctors themselves who have kidney ailments,
because they recognize in it the greatest and
most, successful remedy for kidney, liver and
bladder troubles.

DEATH OF BERTHA ELGES.
Killed in a Horsepower at Lovelock.

Miss Bertha Elges, the 12-year-old
daughter of VIM. Elges, formerly of
this valley, was killed in terrible ac-
cident at Lovelock last Sunday. The
accident occurred at $3.50 P. M. The
young girl and her father entered a
corral in which there is pump OPP
Grated by one horse. The father went
to feed some sheep and left'his daugh-
ter in the vicinity of the pump, with
which she was perfectly familiar, hav-
ing been accustomed to ride the one
horse attached to the horsepower.
During the absence of her father,
who was only about 100 yards away,
the clothing of the young girl was
caught up by the tumbling-rod, on
which it is supposed she fell, or sat
down. The rod was about ten inches
from the ground and carried the poor
victim in its merciless revolutions,
breaking nearly every bone in her
body. Her neck, back and limbs were
broken. 1t is believed the rod made
fifty revolutions with the body of the
unfortunate child.
The death of the young girl was a
terrible blow to her parents. It il
stated that the mother was so deeply
distressed that she tainted five times
within few hours.
Henry Elges and family and VIM
5tarke of this place attended the flu
neral, which took place Wednesda,

This is Worth Keeping.

A few years ago when the dreaded
diphtheria was raging in England, a
very simrle and rapid remedy for it
was, it is said, discovered by the cele-
brated DIR. Field. He put a teaspoon
full of -four birthstone into a wine glass
of water and stirred it with his finger
instead of a spoon, as the sulphur does
not readily amalgamate with water.
When the sulphur was well mixed, he
gave it as gargle, and in ten minutes
the patient was out of danger.
Birthstone kills all species of fungus
in man, beast and plant in few min
utes. Instead of splitting out the gar
gle, he recommended the swallowing
oft. In extreme cases, in which he
had been called just in the nick of
time, when the fungus was too nearly
closed to allow the gargle, he blew
the sulphur through quill into the
throat, and after the fungus had
shrunk enough to allow it, then the
gargling. He never lost a patient
from diphtheria. In cases where good
medical aid is not at hand this simple
remedy should certainly be tried.-Ex.

COURTESY IN THE HOME
IL Il Essential to Happiness In I'll e
Family Circle.

There is no place where there 10
greater need of true, refined, everyday
courtesy or where 1t will be more
greatly appreciated than in the home
circle. Yet in how many households do
we see an entire lack of 1t.
The husband comes In tired and sur
ly, hurries down his meal, gives the
cat kick and departs without one
kind word or gracious act to any one.
The children are noisy and quarrel
some. The mother, tired and nervous,
has only sharp, recriminating words
for her husband, the children and the
servant. The whole atmosphere ap-
pears surcharged with the very quint-
essence of disturbing and dishearten-
ing elements.
Let a visitor come in to make a
neighborly call, however, and how
quickly everything is changed Both
husband and wife welcome him with
the sweetest of smiles and courtesy.
When the visitor departs, he is bowed
out with the most charming grace and
in silver tones invited to call again.
This is eminently right and proper,
but why should not the same consid-
Grafton prevail among those who are
bound to each other by ties of family
relationship-"our own, whom we love
bestY Why should not the wife, the
child, the servant, whom you meet ev-
cry day in the most intimate relations
why should they not, l ask, be
vouchsafed some courtesy as well as
the guest who calls for brief hour
Charity begins at home" we are
told, and l think courtesy should too.
No one, be he man or woman, can
stand weeks and years of continual
fault finding or habitual discourtesy
You bow to your next door neighbor
when you meet her in the street and
give her a kind or cordial word. Why
not be respectful to members Of your
own family? Try it. You will find
you will be happier for 1t. Your home
will become an ideal one, and every
one will be influenced to good by the
light which will radiate from it.-Pitts-

I am un- qualifiedly in favor of the municipal ownership of water works, and I am in favor of securing for the city of Phoe- nix the very best system of water works that can be obtained for che least money. If the present water works system can be purchased for its actual value am in favor of buying it, otherwise I favor the construction of a new plant.
