Thomas A. Edison, the great Amer ican inventor, says; "Fuly eighty per cent of the illness of mankind comes from eating improper food or too much food; people are inclined to over-in- dulge themselves. This is where in digestion finds it's beginning in nearly every case. The stomach can do just so much work and no more, and when you overload it, or when you eat the wrong kind of food, the digestive or gans cannot possibly do the work de- manded of them. It is at such times that the stomach needs help; it de- mands help, and warns you by head aches, belching, sour stomach, nausea and indigestion. You should attend to this at once by taking something that will actually do the work for the stom- ach. Kodol will do this. It is com bination of natural digestants and veg etable acids and contains the same juices found in healthy stomach. It is pleasant to take. It digests what you eat. Sold by Hanna's Drug Store.

RANCHER HAS WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN SLAIN BY BLOOD
 THIRSTY YAQUIs
VICTIMS WERE AMBUSHED ON ROAD FROM TORRES TO
 MINAs PRIETAs
The Only Survivors Were Servants Who Escaped from the Scene of the Awful Butchery by Being Mounted on Fleet footed Horses.

Tucson people who have just se- turned from Sonora bring news of the brutal murder on Thursday of prom inent Mexican ranchman, named Luna and his entire family, consisting of his wife and three children, by band of bloodthirsty Yaqui Indians. The mur. ders occurred on the road between Tor. res and Minas Prietas, about fifteen miles east of Torres, says the Star.
 Luna, with his wife and two young daughters and his son, were driving along the wagon road to his hacienda. He was accompanied by four of his servants. The wagon road parallels the railroad for considerable distance be- tween Torres and Minas Prietas and the massacre took place just a short distance from the railroad.
 The Indians appeared suddenly from ambush, and at the first fire the ranch man, Luna, who strove heroieally to defend his family, was killed. His wife was also killed in the first volley. The servants, panic-stricken, made wild endeavor to gain their freedom, leav- ing the children alone to their fate.
 Two of the servants who were mount ed on speed horses succeeded in break ing through the Yaqui lines and reached Torres, where they gave the news of the attack. The other two servants were killed.
 A passenger train between Torres and Minas Prietas came along a short time after the massacre and when the en- gineers saw the bodies of the unfor- tunate ranchman and his family lying along the road a short distance from the track, the train was brought to a standstill
 There were several Tucson passengers on the train and they state that the Indians had mutilated the bodies fright fully. The two daughters of the ranch man had met death in horrible man. ner The youngest, who was a mere child, was found with her throat cut from ear to ear, while her sister, who was several years older, was found with her skull crushed in. The bodies were placed on the train and taken to Torres.
 As soon as a force of rurales could be rounded up they were dispatched in charge of an officer to the scene of the killing. They were followed by detachment of the federal troops, but when the force reached the place, the Indians had disappeared. They were trailed for several miles, but the pur. suit was finally given up and the rurales and soldiers returned to Torres.
 Torres is located about twenty eight miles below Hermosilla on the Sonora It is the junction point of the Sonora road and the Torres and Pri- etas line which runs up to the big min ing camp of Minas Prietas.
 The prominence of Luna in that sec ton of the country, combined with the sudden appearance of the Yaquis, who were supposed to have gone to other parts of Sonora, has caused great ex- citement and the natives who live out side of the town are in terror and fear that the Indians will make further raids.

THE FIGURE.
How too Much Fat May BE Safely
RReduced at Home.

"Oh, that this too. too solid flesh
would MELT" cry the ladies nowadays
as they try to squirm into a princess
frock. How much would the too gem
erously proportiOned dame not give
up for four inches less in the waist
line as she compares herself with the
more fortunate one hundred and TWEEN
ty-five pound sister. Various devices
are suggested TO arrest the flesh pro-
ducing tendency and keep the figure
trim, including exercising. walking
and dieting as well as numerous pat
ented remedies, but there are objec-
tions to all of these. Exercising is
hard work and takes up precious
time; dieting is distasteful and a real
punishment, and most of the patent
remedies are dangerous to health.
The very best thing for the over
fat, whether male or female, is sim

be obtained Of any druggist at small

bedtime, and results will be both
speedy and certain. This Is harni-
less mixture that cannot bring on any
stomach troubles nor cause the dried
up wrinkled appearance of those who
starve or take "patent reducers" TO
get thin. On the contrary, although
it often takes the fat off at the rate
of a pound a day, 1t is really very
beneficial to the system, cleansing the
blood and causing the complexion to
become fair and beautiful. The cost
of the three ingredients is a mere
bagatelle. and one may, II they prefer

San Antonio, Tex, Dec. 24.-The
most remarkable shooting exhibition
ever recorded with fire arms was con-
cluded, here today, when A. Topper
vein completed ten-days' shooting
series during which he shot at 1880
targets and missed only nine. This
breaks the worlds record in several
different ways, both as to the number
of targets shot at and the number
missed. Mr. Toepperwein closed the
exhibition in whirlwind fashion, shoot
ing at the final 500 targets and only
missing one. Toepperwein used a
22-caliber automatic rife and the
blocks were two and a quarter inches
thick and were thrown into the air at
a distance OF twenty feet from the
point where stood the marksmal.
When Mr.. Toepperwein began TO
shoot he planned to break the worlds
record lie decided to shoot 5000
targets a day for ten days, making
a total of $4,000. which is 10000
over the record. His shots, however,

making the total of 72,500. He used
two rifles, loading himself and shoot
ing 500 shots with each gun alter
nately in order to keep them cool.
There was a large crowd at the shoot
today to witness the marksman's
final effort.
