Epilepsy, Fits

Every part of the body has its
nerves. It's the channel through
which energy nerve force is
transmitted. If too much nerve
force goes to part, it is irritated,
causing pain, congestion, spasms,
fits, epilepsy, etc. If not enough
it is enfeebled, and if none at all
paralysis results. DR.. Miles
Nervine soothes the nerves, as
sists the nerve cells to generate
nerve force, and ir this way re-
stores nervous energy.

Her relations with Dom Carlos were of partcu-
larly touching character He her favorite son,
and SO deeply he attached to her that when in
Lisbon he allowed single day to pass without
meeting her, and was indeed anxious on his accession
to the throne to continue to defer to her as his
mother, not alone in domestic and family affairs,
but also in political matters. In fact it she her

then enjoyed and in abandoning to his consort,

first lady of the land.

leaving her home and people, she was shipped
from Genoa to Lisbon after having been previ-

said she is returning Italy the land of her birth
to spend the remainder of her days with her widowed
sister, Princess Clotilde Bonaparte who has
verted her Chateau of Moncaeri near Turin into an
orphan asylum and hospital, where, arrayed in the
garb of Sister of Mercy she devotes all her time and

During the lifetime of Queen Pias husband, she

visors will at the proper time levy a
tax to aid in the support of this
county high school, should it become
necessary. In the event it is neces-
sary to levy tax, the maximum
amount of two mills authorized by
law for maintenance of such a school
will not be necessary, but half or
one mill at most, will afford ample
funds, the payment of which would
be so slight as not to prove burden
some to any taxpayer of the county.
Viewing the matter from this stand
point, that after due and thoughtful
consideration on the part of every
taxpayer, that the gain is so great
compared to the outlay, in benefits
that may be reasonably expected to
come to the youth of the county with
so slight cost, we can but hope
there will be practically no opposi-

laudable enterprise. CITIZEN.

After due consideration the men,

agricultural high school somewhere

Both communities had representatives
to present their claims, each making
substantial offers of lend, money and
buildings with which to establish and
equip school that would be credita-

Pleasant Hill, for healthful location

various other advantages was chosen.

favored, and her citizens are unit
in being ready and willing to give of
their means in lands and money nee

on foot, and the enterprise will be
pushed with energy and determination
to completion, with the hope that we

company has decided to discontinue
the sale of liquor on it's cars in every
part of the United States, the order to
go into effect as soon as the liquors
now on hand can be disposed of with
out loss.
An order to this effect has been sent
out from Chicago to various district
superintendent throughout the Unit
ed States. 1t is expected to begin in
the east and to work westward and
the order becomes operative in New
England and the middle states about
March l.
Not only have the changed condi-
tons of the last twelve months cut
deeply into the profits formerly de-
rived from this source, but on long
runs liquor can be sold for only por-
tons Of the distance and the COM
pany is constantly in danger of prose-
cution for lawbreaking through care
lessnes of employees.
officials of the company say further
that there has been tendency for
several years toward disseminating the
sale of liquor because of frequent UNI
pleasant occurrences resulting from
the too free use of intoxicants by pas
sengers.

Looking To the Forming OF

Association, TO include Bisbee, Doug

ing for the establishment of an an
nual Cochise County Fair, the first
to be held here this fall at the time
Of the proposed race meet, was
launched Wednesday night at a meet
ing of interested citizens in the Of
fee of Attorney Fred Suffer.
TheSmeeting came as result of
the visit of ]. c. Adams. proprietor
Of the Adams hotel in Phoenix and
owner of a string of fast horses, VINO
is travelling over the territory work
ing up interest in the proposed race
circuit for southern Arizona. Mr..
Adams was not at the meeting, having
left the day before for Douglas and
before those interested in the project
had decided to hold a meeting.
There will be another gathering of
those interested in the scheme Tues
day night in the office of Attorney
Suffer when the subject will be gone
into thoroughly and the ACCESSIBILITY of
the race circuit and county fair con-
sidered from all points Of view. An
invitation will be sent to Mr.. Adams
to be present at this meeting.
Those present at the meeting Wed
nesday night were Judge Greer, Fred
Suffer, ]. ]. Bowen, James Brophy,
w. P. McNear, A. Johnson, Hoval
Smith and Jesse Yoakum.
Hoval Smith offered to give the
lot nj ~ ~
ground for park and track, the
tract he offers lying between the
Warren ranch and the Country club.
1t is understood the Warren Bisbee
Street Railway company will extend
their line to the new race track IL 1t
materializes
However, the place is easily aces
sible by railroad or wagon road from
Douglas, Naco and all nearby places.
Mr.. Adams scheme is to include
Bisbee, Tucson, Phoenix and Doug
las in the proposed Southern ARIZONA
Racing association, the racing meets
to be held late in the fall or early
in the winter, after racing ceases on
the eastern tracks, enabling the as

witness at home as good racing as
they could see in many places In
the east or west.
1t is believed the four big cities On
the territory could easily support
race meet and Adams believes 1t so
strongly that he is giving his time
to boosting the projected racing as
soc.ation. It is probable that inter
Csted track enthusiasts from Tucson,
Douglas and Phoenix will be present
at the meeting here Monday night
The proposed Cochise county fair,
talked of previously but first launch
ed at the meeting Wednesday night,
is meeting with favor among the
business men. 1t is proposed that
the fair grounds adjoin the race
track and that the meeting of both
the racing association and the fair
be simultaneous.
It is probable that similar meetings
looking toward the organization of
the racing association will be held
in a few weeks in Tucson, Phoenix
and Douglas.
