One friend alone was left-Tny wife,
God bless her ev'ry houri
She saved me from a drunkards grave,
And whiskys wicked power.
Just how she saved me you shall see
This is the way she told it me.
When hope was almost dead within
Her faithful constant breast,
She read of DIR. Haines' Cure,
Then without stay or rest
She sent for one Trial Sample free
And gave it unbeknown to me!
I drank of it at ev'ry meal
I ate it in my bread,
While Mary watched me anxiouslys
But neer a word she said;
Until one day I stopped to think
That I had lost my love for drink!
When. quite unconscious I was cured,
My Mary told me all:
It seemed the very act of God,
A modern miracle
I call 1t this, because my wife
And Haines' Cure had saved my life.
And now my little story's done,
My ev'ry word is true,
And what this Treatment did for me,
The same twill do for you;
And wives and mOthers-one and all,
Take heart of Afary's Miracle.
Save those near and dear to you from a
life of degradatio poverty and disgrace
You can do it by cutting out this coupon.

Reports We're Exaggerated - Stat
ment by Socorro,s Mavor


Mayor Bursum of Socorro, N M yester-
day afternoon issued the following signed
statement:
The reports regarding the earthquake at
Socorro have been exaggerated, the dam
age to date being limited to the falling and
and topping over of loose chimneys and
shaking of some of the walls of buildings
not of substantial character The court
house is not injured. except by the falling
OF plaster from the ceiling and the toppltne
OF Old chimneys. The Winkler Hotel, which
is an old adobe building has not been in
)ured In the least. The actual damage all
round is very slight, although there is some
uneaslness ON account of the frequency of
the shocks. which are, however, becoming
lighter each time. indicating that the dis
turbance Is subsiding
Since yesterday there have been four
snght shocks. which were barely susceptt-
pie and would have passed unnottced at
other times. People who have left Socorro
on account of the earthquake have done so
principally on account of their children or
female relatives. There has been no cloud
burst or flood. reported in dispatches
and not the slightest injury to any per-
son. ~
