ON VERGE OF STARVATION.
Pitifui Plight Of Two Widows and
Five Children

( Bordering on the verge of starva-
'tton, two young widows with five
children. the oldest of whom is but
IS years of age and the youngest 2,
presented the most pitible sight at
the United Charities office yesterday
morning that one could imagine
Crying for bread, the children
chung to the skirts OF their mothers,
their innocent and weakened faces
showing the imprint of the sufferings
which they have borne,
1t was a scene that would have
moved heart of stone Without
food or shelter, in a, city which they
believed would offer them honest
employment, the two women, who
came here from Ellis county, found
as many have before them, that
there is as little, if not less, oppor-
tunity to earn living in the city as
there is in the country,
To Manager John a, Green of the
United Charities the young women,
one "a and the other 2 4, told of the
llardships they had suffered since
the deaths of their husbands and the
efforts they have made to, support
their little fatherless children. Mrs.

CONFIRMED PROOF.
Residents of Waxahachie Cannot
Doubt What Has Been Twice
Proved

In gratitude for complete relief
from aches and pains of bad back
from distressing kidney ills-thou-
sands have publicly recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents of
Waxahachie, who so testified years
ago, now say their cures were per-
manent This testimony doubly
proves the worth of Doan's Kidney
Pills to Waxahachie Kidney suffers.
w. H. Odom, farmer, living six
miles west of Waxahachie, Texas,
says Il think just as much and prob
ably more of Doan's Kidney Pills
today than when l gave a testimonial
for them over three years ago. At
that time / had severe backache
which had annoyed me for years. |
was also bothered by a frequent de-
sire to pass the kidney secretions.
Doan's Kidney Pills procured from
Fearis drug store went at once to the
seat of my trouble and entirely dis
posed of it. Since that time | have
learned of many neighbors who
have tried Doan's Kidney Pills and
have received just as good results
from their use. In my opinion they
are the best kidney remedy to be
had"

ing to eliminate the dangers of
the saloon.
Of course an ordinance of this
character is sure to arouse cauS-
tic criticism. There are inter
ests affected that will put up a
strong fight to prevent its en-
forcement and to getit repealed;
but the Democrat hopes that the
new council will stand firm and
that the law will be rigidly en-
forced.
While this ordinance wasdrawn
up and fathered by Mr.. Camp
bell, it is only just and fair to
say that Mayor Coggins and
Councilman Yaeger joined Mr..
Campbell in voting for it, and it
is really a non partisan measure.
That there is a vigorous ma
iority demand in Maricopa coun-
ty land an equal demand in the
city of Phoenix) for absolute
local option throughout the
county is well known, and this
ordinance comes at a time when
it will meet public approval.
The Democrat does not believe
that it would be right for the
city council to adopt an absolute
prohibition ordinance without
first receiving direct Instructions
from the voters; but all police
measures adopted to minimize
evil, prevent drunkenness and to
eliminate che saloon as a place
of idle resort are not only within
the consideration of the city
council, but are necessary.
The Democrat heartily ar
proves Mr.. Campbell's stringent
ordinance and demands its COM
plete enforcement by the incom-
ing administration.

It is a true and trite saying,
well begun is half DONE" and
we insist that no school is really
right well begun that does not
open with a good, round, hearty
song. 1t freshens, brightens,
pacifies dlscordant minds, soothes
ruf1ied tempers and imparts a
relish for the duties that follow.
Of schools opening with song we
have always heard pupils refer
to with gladness and tender feel
ing; but almost invariably do
they signify a dislike to the
that never has song in
it from the dull monotony that
the regular work often takes on.
This isparticularly so with young
people. A singing people are a
happy people.

STRICT REGULATION OF THE
OPEN SALOON.

The Phoenix Democrat says:
Clinton Campbell, the demo
cratic member of the city coun-
Gil, is making splendid record,
and is following out the right
kind of policy. There has never
been a time when Mr.. Campbell
has not been on the right side;
but the success be had Thursday
night in passing the ordinance
regulating saloons is a step that
will meet with the decided ap-
prevail Of a large majority of the
people of Maricopa county. This
ordinance may be considered
by some as very stringent, but
it will unquestionably have a
wholesome effect in the way of
checking drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct in Phoenix.
1t provides that liquor shall
not be retailed in any apartment
in the city of Phoenix except on
the ground floor; the bar-room
shall, not be less than twelve feet
in width nor more than thirty
feet long; there shall be 10
chairs, stools, benches, tables or
device upon which patrons may
sit or recline while in the bar
room; there shall be no back
door, and the front Of the build
ing must be entirely of glass not
covered with paint, curtain or
anything to obscure the view
from the outside, and there shall
be no screens in the bar-room.
The ordinance also prohibits
drug stores from selling liquor
except on a prescription. There
are many other far-reaching fea-
lures of the ordinance, all tend

Bids for the grading Of the
right Of way between San Diego
and a point on the international
line near Tia Juana have already
been received. Within few
days awards will be let for the
construction of all the bridges,
culverts and conduits on that
part of the line.
The first grading work is over
a distance of nineteen miles.
Since the incorporation of the
railroad company nearly a mill
ion and half dollars have been
spent by the Spreckels interests
in the securing of the right of
way through San Diego and Ma
tional City. Practically the en-
tire survey for the railroad be-
tween San Diego and Tia Jnana
has been completed, though two
surveying parties each of more
than thirty men, are still in the
field. The right of way for the
road between San Diego and
Jacumba, on the eastern boun-
Diary of the county has practical
ly been secured.
The survey from San Diego to
Jacumba and through the CARTS
so gorge has been completed,
but it has not yet been decided
what route to follow from the
mountains to Yuma. Prelimi-
nary surveys for two different
routes have been completed and
it is possible that third survey
may be made before the route is
decided upon.
John D. Spreckels is president
of the road, William Clayton is
vice president, and Harry L.
Titus secretary and treasurer.

$500 For the Biggest
Yellow Pumpkin

The cultivation of Golden
Globes of plenty. which are seen
in the fields of the prosperous
farmer in the fall of the year,
has not been encouraged in this
new country of ours to give the
homeseeker, who comes on a
harvest excursion, a proper well
come.
We believe their growth should
be encouraged. for various rea-
sons:
The enforcement of the Pure
Food law would certainly short
en- the supply of pumpkin pies
to such an extent that only a few
could enjoy the ''smack" of de-
light which comes with a lus-
cious piece of filing rooted over
with rich brown cover.
There are a few poets that
have made themselves dear to
the world by their songs of the
pumpkin and its vine.
That we may all see whether
the valleys Of West Texas, New
Mexico, Arizona or Mexico are
the most fertile, We will offer a
prize of $500 in hard cash for
the largest yellow pumpkin
brought to our exhibit at the Ell
Paso Fair this fall.
A few simple rules governing
the contest will be furnished to
all contestants later. We should
like to hear from all who wish
to contest for this prize. Write
to US to that effect.
