IMPORTANT TO PHOENIX
Profit by This and Find Safeguard
 Against Many Ills.

Nothing is more important to Phoe- nix than the good health of her people. How can they fill their place in this busy town unless they are well?
 No one trouble is responsible for more nervous ills, sleeplessness, gener- al debility, weakness. backaches, rneu- matic pains. even ill-temper and pee vishness. than indigestion.
 Fortunately, a combination of reme- dies, called Mi-o-na stomach tablets, has been discovered that absolutely cures indigestion and restores to health and strength the whole diges- tive system. The use of Mi-o-na is a safeguard against many ills; 1t acts stores perfect action to the digestive organs, aids the assimilation of food, and so strengthens the whole disges- tive system that you can eat anything at any time without fear of indiges- tion.
 Just one little tablet out of a 50- cent box of Mi-o-na before meals for a few days, and you will soon regain perfect health and strength, and be able to eat anything digestible without fear of stomach difficulties.
 So reliable is Mi-o-na in curing all forms of stomach weakness and trou- bles that H. Goodman gives signed guarantee that the remedy will cost nothing unless it cures. Mi-o-na sells for 50 cents, and is invaluable to any one who suffers with indigestion, ner- vOusness or weak stomach.

THE VERY WORST
 HAS NOT HAPPENED
The Experience of Man Who Took
 in the Block.

A man, a stranger in town, was taken to the sheriff's office late Sat urday night in a dazed condition. He had been found lying on South Fourth street almost unconscious. The first word of him had come in a telephone message from a saloon on South Sew enth street saying that a man there had bought a bottle of wine and that when he was asked to pay for it he drew a knife.
 Constable Harry Troops went in re- sponse to the message and on his ar rival the man was gone. The officer subsequently found him lying beside the street and put him into a cab and brought him to jail.
 By the time of his arrival he had recovered sufficiently to pay for the cab and tell what he remembered of his experience. But he said 1t was much like the shadow of a dream
 He had arrived in town the day be- fore with $36O. He made purchases amounting to $53 and then he set out to take in the block, where he spent the afternoon. He remembered that some time after midnight he was sit ting in a room with a man whom he had never seen and that both of them were drinking with regularity, frs. one and then the other paying for the drinks. He recoIlected nothing else un- til after he had been taken to the sheriff's office When the episode of the knife was mentioned to him he said that he dimly remembered draw ing his pocket knife on some one who he thought was trying to rob him. That. he thought, took place some where in the street
 When the man was searched at the jail he had S25. He then remembered that ne had had $6O in another pocket and the rest of his money. more than S200 in an inside pocket. These two latter sums were gone.
 The man had the appearance of having been drugged. Though he re- covered rapidly. he could recall notn- ing that would give the officers a clue on which to work for the recovery of the money. It was so evident that this was not a case of drunkenness that Justice Johnstone let him go with the remark that he had been very lucky.
 The man could not at first under stand in what particular way luck mad favored him until the justice pointed out that he had S25 and his life left. Only two or three nights ago man in the same locality had been left without cent, but with a hole through his head.

and Investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of wonderfully sympa thetic nature.
 In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham, builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter.
 In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, natures own remedies calling in physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and ex- perience many of them gained won derful knowledge of the curative prop critics of the various roots and herbs.
 Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvest fields and orchards vegetable foods of ali Kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies ex- presSly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medi- cines for her own family and friends.
 Chief of these was a rare combina- ton of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu- liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink hams friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them.
 All this so far was done freely, with out money and without price, as a labor of love.
 But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centen- nial year dawned it found their prop erty swept away. Some other source of income had to be found.
 At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world.
 The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to

A NEW HOME FOR
 THE ARIZONA CLUB
The Committee on Quarters Ready to
 Receive Propositions.

The most important question before the newly consolidated club is that of quarters for the club. The clubs present lease in the Hotel Adams will expire on November 1 of this year. and a new home must be obtained and be ready for occupancy at that time. A committee on quarters was appointed by the president at the last meeting of the board of directors. This committee is Investigating the matter and will, as soon as practicable. make a report, recommending some plan for adoption by the club.
 A number of propositions have been submitted to the committee. One plan is to rent tne top floor in some build ing suitable for the purpose; another is to buy some desirable building size and erect thereon a building. Another plan contemplates the erection of a suitable building by the owner of some desirable site. the club to rent the building for a term of years with an option to purchase.
 It is stated by the committee that it desires to receive suggestions from the members of the club. and that it would also be glad to have submitted to it any proposition of sale or lease from owners of property in the city The members of the committee are Frank Cox, Dave Goldberg.

Now We come to a frisky lot, the ".Labor Union" editors You know down in Texas a weed called Loco" is sometimes eaten by a steer and produces a derangement of the brain that makes the steer ''batty" or crazy. Many of these editors are ''Locoed" from hate of anyone who will not instantly obey the demands" of a labor union and it is the universal habit of such writ CTS to go straight into a system of personal villification, manufactur- ing any sort of falsehood through which to vent their spleen. We assert that the common citizen has a right to live and breathe air without asking permission of the labor trust and this has brought down on us the hate of these edi- tors. When they go far enough with their libels, is it harsh for us to get Judgment against them and have our lawyers watch for chance to attach money due them from others?

restore the family fortune. Tkey argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world.
 The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling 8 gross of bottles. Then came the question of selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medi- cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's s Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York. and Brooklyn.
 The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and the de- mand gradually increased.
 In 1877, by combined efforts the fam fly had saved enough money to com mence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until to- day Lydia E. Pinlxham and her Vege-
 
 hold words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annu- ally in its manufacture.
 Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward years ago, but not till she had provided means for continuing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself
 During her long and eventfu1 expe- rience she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful topre- serve record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice and there were thousands-received careful study. and the details, includ- ing symptoms, treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since. are available to sick women the world over, and represent a vast colla bora tion of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in the world.
 With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter in law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was carefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast correspondence.
 To her hands naturally fell the direction of the work when its origina- tor passed away. For nearly twenty five years she has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of large family, took it up. With women assistants, some as capable as herself, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work and probably from the office of no other person have so many women been ad- vised how to regain health. Sick wo- men, this advice is ''Yours for Health" freely given if you only write to ask for it.
 Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound; made from simple roots and herbs; the one great medicine for women's ailments, and the fitting monument to the noble woman whose name it bears.
