Of castor oil to correct disorder
of the bowels. Do not use any substi
tute but use the old fashioned castor
oil, and see that it is fresh, as rancid
oil nauseates and has a tendency to
grippe. If it does no check the bowels
give Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and then a dose
of castor oil, and the disease may be
checked in it's incipiency and all dan.
ger avoided. The castor oil and this
remedy should be procured at once

as the first indication of any bowel
trouble appears. This is the most sue
cessful treatment known and may be
relied upon with implicit confidence
ever in cases Of cholera infantum.

DR.. c.. M. Yater puts the matter thus:
81 own my lots from the center Of
the earth to the blue sky above, and
sc long as I do not allow the water
from my well to run out over my
neighbors' property build a house
SO high as to e%ndanger the lives or
property of others, no one can shut
off my water supply on of
somebody else having older wells, nor
tear down my house because the arch
itecture does not harmonic with the
surroundings. The value of my we'll
is assessed with my property, and l
object to paying taxes twice On the
same property"

The Record is inclined to leave the
decision to the supreme court SO far
as the validity of the artesian well
tax is concerned; and since the city
of Roswell has declined to pay the
tax, we believe that amore thorough
examination will result from the city
taking the matter to court than
could be secured by anyone else. The
Record also believes that extensive
agitation of the question is unneces-
sary at this time and thai such agi-
tation will have a tendency to do
harm. One case in the courts should
be sufficient to test the legality Of
the tax, and should it be upheld there
would then be nothing left but to
wait for the next legislature to
amend the law. Aroused public ser
timent would then become of some
value. A test in the courts is all
that is possible for the present. Every
body admits that the general purposes
of the law are good, and the only OBJ
lection is the special tax. An orderly
proceeding and patience will accom-
plish the desired end.

Sugar is the only important farm
ports. There are thousands of acres
of land in New Mexico specially adap-
ted to the growing of sugar beets
and the Pecos Valley will probably
to secure a beef sugar factory. The
amount of money paid for imported
sugar Is owe one hundred millionn
dollars a year, so there is room for

Judge Richardson who as presiden

Judge Richardson who as president
of the Commercial club appointed a
committee that drew up the artesian
well bill, says that he advised the
committee after the first draft of the
bill was made hat they we're attempt
ing too much. He is still of the opin-
ion that there is no use of special Off
GERS for any one interest. 1t would
hardly be less absurd to propose a
license on farming and a special in
spector in each county to see that
farmers did not encroach upon the
rights of their neighbors. AS to the
validity of the law he would not ex-
press an opinion, but said that he pre-
dicted bitter opposition to the five
dollar well tax before the bill was sub
mitted for passage

1t is possible that even if a suit be
brought to test the validity of the
well tax, the matter may be delayed
by the supreme court until the time
OF Roswell probably las the best
grounds for resisting the tax, but the
city will not initiate the suit. 1t will
simply decline to pay the tax, and
allow the proceeding to be brought
by the Territory. In the meantime,
it may be that the organized well
owners will have commenced pro-
