 General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its com ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with it's ex- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine-manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

A GOOD STOMACH
Means Good Health, CheerfuIness, Ambition, PersistencY and Success

Means Good Health, Cheerfulness,
 Ambition, Persistency and Success.
 Relief is not cure; opium will stop the most excruciating pain, but it won't cure the disease.
 And it's just the same with alleged dyspepsia cures which contain pep sin. The pepsin will help to digest the food but the stomach is left in worse condition Khan it was before.
 You don't want pepsin to digest your food; you want the natural juices of your stomach to digest your food. If you have dyspepsia or any stomach trouble, you want to make your stomach so strong that it will digest it's own food.
 You can make your stomach so strong that ySu can eat what you want and all you want any time you want it. without distress.
 Mi-o-na will cure your dyspepsia or any other stomach trouble by building up the flabby walls, and making the stomach so strong that it will digest food without artificial aid.
 In other words, Mi-o-na cures dys- pepsia by removing the cause.
 Larson Drug Go. is the agent for Mi-o-na in Phoenix and they say to every reader of The Republican whose stomach is weak, who has in digestion or dyspepsia, that AIi-O-na is guaranteed to cure or money back.
 The price is only 50 cents a box, and one box is all you need to prove that you are on the right road to health and happiness.
 T can't say enough for Mi-o-na tablets; they have done more for me in one week than all the doctors have for the two years 1 have been under their care, and I will do all I can to recommend it to my friends You can also use my name in your ad if you like, for Mi-o-na is better than gold to. me. I am like a new man, and am able to work once more for the first time in over a year. W. A. Ennis, BPS Green St, Syra- cuse, N. Y.

MT Morrison replied that it was the most preposterous thing he had heard :n the course of thls or any other ter ritnrial campaign. Not a word of such g starL-ng conversion had been heard.
 On the contrary- the rid republican, war h.rse Coi DOran was enthusiastically working for the election of RIlP Ph Cam crnn.
 Secretary Young said that encourag- ing reports continue to come in from all parts of the territory. Delegates from Coconino county to the live stock meeting now in the city said yesterday that Camerons majority in that county would be not less than AGO. That is about twice as much as the prclimin- ary estimates of the committee. Word has been received from Chair man HOval A. Smith that the cam lpaign ir the south is moving forward in 9 very satisfactory manner A message was received yestor day by the way of HolbrOok from St. Johns describing the Cameron meeting at that place last Saturday night. There was a large and enthusiastic crowd. The meeting was addressed by MT. Cameron and Attorney General Clark.
 It was enlivened by a brass band and the enthusiastic cheering indicated the popularity of the republican candidate in Apache county.
 From St. Johns the attorney general
 was called home on business and the next day MT. Cameron went to Spring erville where he attended church and spent the Sunday. The following morning MT. Cameron left on his 150 mile horse back ride to Clifton. It was expected that he would reach there yesterday but no word was re- iceived at headquarters announcing his larrival It is thought that he had spent a longer time at the various camps along the trail that he had intended to

THE KNEIPP CURE
 DOESN'T 60 HERE
Those Who Practice 1t Are Required
 to Establish Their Sanity.

The next time one imports a new or unusual kind of cure into this val ley, he will save himself a great deal of trouble in advance by notifying Deputy Sheriff Wayne Davis that he is going to practice it. Word was received at the office of the sheriff yesterday morning that there was a young man near the end of the Brill street car line who needed atten- tion. He was supposed to be insane. Every morning he was seen with trousers rolled to the knees wading around in the Johnson grass, which abounds in that locality. At the time of the sending of the message he was so engaged and if an officer would hurry out he would catch him at it.
 Deputy Davis hurried out and there was the young man. He was walking about, apparently aimlessly, in his
Arizona republican., 1908-09-24

bare feet. The officer asked him if he had lost anything. He replied not much, only his health and he thought he could find it. All this was prima facie evidence of insanity and the officer pursued his investigation fur ther. The young man unfolded to him the story of the Kneipp cure, consisting in wading about barefoot in dew.
 This was surely a case for the pro- bate court and the officer brought the faithful follower of Father Kneipp to the court house where he soon furnished proof of his sanity, though it was agreed that a country swhere there is so little dew and so slight and uncertain, is not a good place for the practice of the Kneipp meth cd. At any rate some use has been found at last for the detested John son grass.
