Reformers Ask
 Saloon Law Change

To ask for the striking out of the words 1.-two thirds" ia the present To- cal option law SO that a bare ma- jority will be enough to wipe out sa- looms in any community, g meeting of the Anti-Saloon league of Msricopa county has been called for tonight.
 The Phoenix Democrat says: "The meeting was called by Dr. H. A. Hughes, president of the Maricops county snti-saloon league and the movement has the backing of all the members of that fighting organi- ration.
 While Dr. Hughes did no, say as much it might be inferred that the re- formers are now clearing decks for fight against saloons.
 1.-Two years ago the forces headed by Dr. Hughes were defeated in their fight against gambling in this city by what looked like an overwhelming majority and last fall they stepped in and by sn equally decisive majority wiped out gambling.
 "lnspired by this change of seuti- ment it may be that the reformers now propose to eu bark on a fight that will drive saloons out of the city"

Healer Schlatter
 Coming to Arizona

Fl Paso and New Mexico people who remember Francis Schlatter; or "Schlatter the Healer" as he became known in former years, is back in tbe city once more, ready to cure any thing from spring halt and spavin to locomotor staxia, says the Fl Paso Herald. He made his first reappear- snce in this city on the stage of the Berkeley Lyceum and shoued himself to the select members of the First Church of the Progressive Spiritual ists of which the Rev. Hugh R. Moore is the head. Schlatter was not the "only pebble on the beach" at the meeting but be was the biggest peb- De.
 Mrs. Schlatter frst glorified her husband and told about some of the miracles he had performed in Terra Haute and Chicsgo-mostly in Chi csgo. Then schlatter stepped before the limelight. He did not look like the Schlstter of old, but perhaps he has been reincarnated. He got q case right away. A man suffering from locomotor ataxia struggled up to Schlatter ssd had hands laid on him, but in . gentle way. The healer mss- saged the mans wrists, felt his collar button and touched him on the shorl- der.
 Several others went up to get treat ment and each one declared that he or she felt . decided improvement. Some were young girls, one or two of whom wept.
 Schlatter has trayeled much since he was last here. He has been in Texas and New Mexico, where he was at one time reported to have perished in the desert; in Denver, where his wife at least ssid that he had treated 1000 persons, and he has also been in many other cities of the middle west. 1,
 Sehlstter is headed for Arizona.

 Discussing the need of federal super vision of marriage and divorce, he said:
