YELLOW FEVER
There is No Occasion for Alarm.
Remember the Lessons of the
Epidemic Of 1898.

AS we are now threatened with an
other visitation Of the dreaded yellow
fever it is we'll to remember the expert
ences Of the last occasion, In all sec
tions where the yellow fever made it's
appearance it will be recalled that per-
sons who kept their stomach, liver and
bowels strong and active we're not af-
fected by the disease; while the others
apparently healthy were stricken down.
These latter were all more or less hab-
itually constipated, bilious or victims
OF bad digestion; as result the blood
became impure and the vital organs
were unable to resist the deadly fever
germs. Now is the time to prepare for
what is to follow. Get your family and
yourself in shape to resist the disease.
You don't know when you are exposed
to it, every man you meet may be af-
fected and ii you put off your prepara-
tions from day to day you may be too
late. The sensible course is to begin at
once taking Prickly Ash Bitters; that
marvellous system regulator and blood
purifier, Use it regularly every day.
Half VINE glassful each morning al
ter breakfast will keep your bowels OPP
en- and healthy, it will also strengthen
the bowels and digestion, purity the
blood and by stimulating the liver and
kidneys all bile and uric acid impur-
ties will driven out of the body, In
short, it puts the system in perfect or
der. Remember, 1898. That was rec
ord for Priekly Ash Bitters. In the
sections where it was used the most
there were fewest eases OF fever. You
cannot do better in this hour of danger
than TO make use OF this means which
experience has proven to be the best
for fighting OF this terrible scourge.

There is a case OF smallpox at Santa
Rita. County Health Onicer Hagen
has the patient quarantined, and hopes
70 conane the disease to this one case.
The patient is a railroad man, and is
thought to have brought the disease
with him into the camp.
The Hon. Collin Neblett. member Of
the legislature from this district, has
appointed Will Belt as a cadet at the
Military Academy at Roswell. Young
Belt has attended this school for some
time, and will be able to finish his
course at a smaller expense because Of
this appointment.
The rains and ensuing high water
have caused a great deal Of damage at
Clifton and on the Arizona s. New

western work train has been up there
more than a week, working on the
bridge. Before it was finished the
food took out two Of the new bents,
but they are keeping at it. This side
OF Guthrie the channel of the river has
changed, and 0 occupies the road
bed. The company is blasting out the
side Of the bill, and will have a road
bed that is on the solid rock, which
will be permanent. The smelters
have had to shut down because Of the
destruction OF the Coronado road. All

The report of the weather at this
point for the month OF February, made
by e. w. Clapp, voluntary observer for
the weather bureau, is an interesting
document. The highest temperature
recorded was 70 degrees, on the 9th,
and the lowest was IS degrees on the
l4th. The temperature ran down to
30 degrees, freezing point, nine times
during The mouth. The rainfall
amounted to BOB inches aud the snow
fail measured O.32 inches. The most
wonderful statement contained In the
report is that there were only three
clear days in the month, eleven were
partly cloudy, and fourteen, exactly
half the number Of days in the mouth,
were cloudy. Rain fell on dfteen days
during the month. The average max
imum temperature was 60 and the
average minimum temperature was 80.
