who is entered for. the. two mile run. John Curly. a Navajo will try to break the territorial record of 4:40 for a mile. In some of the shorter events Luke Anton. who holds the territorial record for mile is entered. He will try for the half mile record now held by Reginald Stroud. This record is ? minutes seconds In the quarter he will run against Harry Groves record of B 1-5
 It is probable that the best records will be made in the running events, though some of the other schools have good men in other branches. The Normal is strong on weights and the Tempe highs are great at the pole vault. Mesa high is keeping rather quiet, but that school will undoubtedly have some first class athletes present.
 Manager Holzwarth. of the Indian school will have charge of the events. They will begin at go o'clock and all will be over by p. m. With this final track meet of the season the at tention of the different schools will be directed toward baseball.

QUEER ENGLISH VILLAGES
One Which Has No Public Building
 Except a Letter Box

The English village is very dear to the hearts of poets and painters, and thousands of them are certainly charming. A few, however, are more amusing than anything else. as. for in stance. one which consists entirely of old railway carriages, even the chapel being composed of four horse trucks.
 Another village. with a population or HOO and taxed at the valuation of ss. 900. has neither school. church nor other public building. the only thing of the sort being a letter box on pill lar.
 Villages with but single inAabitant are not unknown. one of them being Skiddaw in Cumberland, according to Harpers Weekly The single viliager complains bitterly because he cannot vote-there being no. overseer pre- pare a voters list, and no church or other public building on which to pub fish one. as the law requires.
 The lonely ratepayer in a Northum- berland village has declined to con tribute money to maintain the roads, remarking that the one he has is quite good enough for its use. In the Isle of Ely is little parish with about dozen inhabitants that has no rates, as there are no roads or public insti- tutions of any kind, and consequently no expenses.
 Kempton. near Bradford. can prob ably lay successful claim to the dis tinction of being the longest village in the world. as 1t struggles along the road for a distance of seven niles Sometimes a village will entirely dis appear. having been built either on the edge of the, crumblins cliffs that makes part of the coast line. or over an ancient mine One of the latter class Is in Shropshire. and each year one or more of the cottages tumble as the earth sinks beneath it.

Backache means deranged kidneys. Get six ounces of good pure gin, one half ounce Murax compound. one-half ounce fluid extract Buchu. Mix and take one to two teaspoonfuls three times da- after meals. Any good druggist can furnish or mix these in gredients.
 Pain in the back. frequent or highly colored urination. rheumatic pains. soreness in the>groin or hips. dizziness. puffiness under the eyes. etc, are symptoms of kidney and bladder trou- ble which should have quick attention to prevent chronic rheumatism. dread ed Bright's disease or diabetes.

 RUNNING RECORDS Some Territorial Records May Go to Pieces at the Track Meet at In-
 dian School Saturday

The track meet of the season be- tween the valley schools will be held next Saturday afternoon at the Indian school grounds. Four schools will participate. Mesa high. Tempe Normal and high, and the Indian school.
 Some of the Indian boys are expect ed to make records at this meet. The Indians have always been known as strong runners and it is in these events that they are expected to take away the honors. Perhaps their finest sprinter is Shewawa, who will try to break Harry McLean's record of 26 minutes and l4 seconds in the five mile race. He won the four mile event in the Labor day celebration at Pres colt in 2l minutes II seconds. An other fast Indian is Lomohungoyouma

because, it was claimed, Galloway had
been concerned in duel in his young
err days. The time came for swear

restaurant proprietor. People who
chew according to Fletcher sit at the
table so long that they keep other Gus

of these scientific eaters at Inch

SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid of "Coffee Heart"

The injurious action of Coffee on the
heart of many persons Is well known
by physicians to be caused by caf-
feline. This is the drug found by chem
lists in coffee and tea.
A woman suffered a long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cof-
fee, as that was the principal cause
of the trouble. She writes:
My heart was so weak it could not
do its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it would seem that
| would never breathe again.
THE doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart. He
said | must stop it, but it seemed !
could not give 1t up until | was down
In bed with nervous prostration.
For eleven weeks / lay there and
suffered. Finally Husband brought
home some Postum and / quit coffee
and started new and right. Slowly
got well. Now do not have any head
aches, nor those spells with weak
heart. We know 1t is Postum that
helped me. The DR.. said the other day
I never thought you would be what
you are / used to weigh 92 pounds
and now weigh 1853.
Postum has done much for me and
would not go back to coffee again
for any money, for l believe 1t would
kill me If I kept at 1t. Postum must
be well boiled according to directions

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE
COMPANY IN THE UNITED
STATES COURT.

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York
sitting in New York City-has Just
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package FOR liver pills.
by the terms of the decree, 1t is,
among other things;
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner OF the sole and
exclusive right to the use of red col
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small. round packages of liver pills of
the style described in the bill of COM
plant; said right having been ac-
quired by the prior adoption of said
style and color of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago, and es-
tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company itself, from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision just announced Is per
haps the most important and far-reach-
ing of all, by reason of the character
of the tribunal which rendered 1t. No

Mistake Somewhere.

A story comes from Kentucky
town that is worth repeating. There
lives there woman who says that
she has immediate communion with
the Almighty, and now and then de-
livers to those of common clay mes
sage that she has received from on
high. The fact that these messages
sometimes take on very Materials
tic hue does not alter their effective
ness, in her opinion.
One day she went into the office of
well known attorney and approached
him solemnly as one about to reveal
an awe-inspiring secret.
"The Lord sent me to you for $25,
she announced
The attorney looked up and smiled.
THAT must be a mistake" he re-
piled, blandly, because the Lord
knows I have not got it."
Celestial communication was there
upon broken off.

Sing Sing prison is to be removed

The present prison was also built by
convicts in 1926, with material found
