SEES MOTHER Grow YOUNG.

past 70 she seems really to be
growing young again. She suffer-
ed untold misery from dyspepsia
for 20 years. At last she could
neither eat, drink nor sleep. Doc

failed till Electric Bitters worked
such wonders for her health. y

UNCLE SAM QUITS BOOZE.

July lst saw the booze jug elimE
mated from the passenger list on
the rural mail routes entering Mon
terey. Under a ruling of the post
Office department, contractors
whose terms of service began July
LIST, are not allowed to haul liquors.
The result will be watched with in
terest land there is much speculation
as to the possible effect. 1t will in
convenience some who use whiskey
for legitimate purposes, and it will
put the topper to more trouble in
getting his supply. 1t will surely
be a relief to the carriers to be rid
of the undesirable traffic.
Those who predict that a booze
wagon will have to be run on regu-
lar schedule will probably be disap-
pointed.
