 Vinol

Mrs. Michael Bloom of Lewistown, Pa, who is 80 years of age, says: For a long time I have been so feeble that l have had to be wheeled around in an invalid's chair I had no strength and took cold at the slightest provoca- ton, which invariably settled on my lungs, and a cough would result My son learned of the cod liver prep aration called Vinol, and procured a bottle for me. It built up my strength rapidly, and after taking three bottles I am able to do most of my work, and l can walk quarter of mile easily. Every aged or weak person who re- quires strength should try VinoL am delighted with what 1t has done for me"
 As body builder and strength crea- tor for old people. delicate children, weak, rundown persons, and after sickness, Vinol is unexcelled. If 1t fails to give satisfaction We will re- turn your money.

Flatulency or Wind
 On Stomach
As It Is Commonly Named, Means That Decaying Food Is Max
 ina Gas

This most serious condition is very prevalent and results most distress ingly and fatally oftentimes. The stomach in cases of flatulency is un- able to digest the food properly. De- cay sets in, gases form, extend the stomach, force their way downward into the bowels, and if not relieved it extends upward pressing against the lungs, liver and heart. causing shortness of breath, belching, foul odors and many times sudden death.
 Foods which are filled with gases, when taken into a deranged stomach cause flatulency rapidly, vegetables being especially given to this quality. Against suCI a condition the stomach can do but little. because these foul and poisonous gases affect its glands, muscles and tissues to such a degree as to- incapacitate it almost at once
 These gases distend the stomach in all directions, preventing the contract ing muscles from doing their regular duties, or if they do force the gas from the stomach it goes elsewhere in the system with even more harressing results, and then the decaying mass
 
 The most effective methods for al laying flatulency is to remove the cause of gas making. An emetic will do this but the stomach will have the same trouble the moment new food enters it.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets get at gas food at once. digest it. prevent decay, quickly reduce food to nourish ment, make good rich gastric fluid and pass the digested food to the intestines, giving the stomach it's rest and the system its nourishment. Flat ulency simply cannot exist where these little tablets are used. They build up the stomach fluids so that it matters not how many vegetables you eat or food containing quantities of gas, the stomach does its work well and quickly.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold everywhere and used the whole world over by sick stomachs and stomachs that want to eat heartily and yet not get sick.

ously made surveys for work where two tunnels will be required at inter vening points between the present To- cation and Wilkinson. The line to be built will be about forty miles in length.
 That work is to be resumed in earn est is verified by a report from Los Angeles that Grant Brothers will be in charge of the new grading work. N. c. Webster, for number of years resident of Phoenix, but now resi- dent of Los Angeles, in conversation with a Phoenix man a few days ago informed him that he was buying con siderable stock to send to the front on the Phoenix & Eastern. The impress sion gained from the conversation was that several carloads were to be ship ped at an early date and more to fol- low as soon as the same could be se- cured. MT. Webster himself intended to come over from the coast as soon as operations had been commenced on a scale to justify his presence.
 The road on which work Is to be done is what was known as the Ari- zona & Eastern prior to the taking over by the Hartman lines of the Phoenix & Eastern, which is now op- erated to Winkleman. The survey, complete to the Globe, Gila Valley & Northern railroad, from Mesa, was made about four years ago. The rails were laid to a point a mile beyond Winkeman. The line of road follows the Gila river. Colonel Randolph, about three years ago. made the authoritative statement that the road would be built as soon as appropriations were ap- proved by the executive board of the Southern Pacific company. Later fol- lowed the panic and further delay, the activity of the past few weeks being the first indication that the line was to be completed. At the time ;he first plans for the road were made, 1t was a part of the scheme to use the road for the main line Southern Pacific trains, which would leave the present main line at Bowie, travel over the Globe and Gila Valley road to San Carlos, Eastern road to Phoenix and to Cali fornia by way of the s. F., P. & P. to Wickenburg. and thence west over the Arizona & California.
 A private dispatch from Tucson yes terday said that the presence of the surveyors in the vicinity of Wrinkle man was for the purpose of putting in shape the grade recently destroyed by wash-outs and to recheck the survey through to San Carlos. Of the con struction of the line nothing was said

 It is hard these days for the Colo rado River Supply company to supply the demand for lumber Houses are being rushed up at wonderful rate, and if this building spell keeps on, Parker will e a town of no mean i'm portance before the site is opened.
 The State of Arizona made a very successful trip up to Bill Williams Fork and back last week. Captain Sage is well pleased with her first trip.
 Parker's first white-born to be noted is the twelve and a half-pound son that came to the temporary home of MT. and Mrs. William Brown at Needles, Cal. on St Valentines day. Granddad .Ntdii says llletl lllt SbuiSSltI ildS btth named Floyd, but that he stands ready to bet $1O0 that he will be called Buster" from the day he begins to walk. The family, with Mrs. Browns mother, Mrs. Neal, are expected home within the next few days.
 Parker people wish that those papers which are advertising that grading teams are at work at this end of the railroad would make good. There are more automobiles at this end of the line by four or five than there are grading teams.
 The good people of Bouse, VicI1sburg, Salome, Wenden. wickenburg and any other place should not fail to come to Parker for the St. Patrick ball. There will be more fun on that occasion than at the time of opening of the townsite.

OUT OF MANY RUM0Rs
A Belief That It Is the Pm- pose Now to Complete Early This Link of the Main Line Throug h Phoenix.

Residents or the vicinity of Wrinkle man are of the opinion that the &C., , tivity of a party of railroad surveyors now at work on the old line of the Arizona and Eastern road means the early completion of the line connecting Winkleman with the Globe and Gila Valley road to a point near San Car los. The completion of the line is of unusual interest to Phoenix by reason of its completion of a link of the main line. Not only are the stories told by the residents of Winkleman proof that some new move is on, but reports from Los Angeles and Tucson tend to verify the ,rumors. The local railroad off cials of the Southern Pacific yester day claimed no knowledge of the work now being done out of the ordinary or significant of resumption of work on the completion of the road through the Gila canyon. but this has little bearing on the story It is not essen tial that in the event work was to be resumed. information should be passed all along the line.
 l.. s. Giffen, of the firm of Henns & Giffen, who operate a number of stores in Pinal county at different points along the Phoenix & Eastern, was in Phoenix yesterday. It is his opinion that the order for the building of the line from Winkleman to San Carlos has been given. He bases his views on the fact that twelve men. under John Barlow, are now at work on the line verifying the survey made b ah That their Gfax is to be more than temporary, ne be- lieves from the fact that a permanent camp is Delng built and number of horses purchased for use on supply wagons and for riding over the line. MT Barlow, it will be recalled, was in charge of the work when the Arizona & Eastern was first surveyed. Since work was stopped, he has been with the Cananea & Yaqui River road, in Mexico. If any man could quickly do the work of rechecking the survey, MT. Barlow is the man He has been on the ground about ten days.
 MT Giffen's real reason for antici- pating the early completion of the road, however is the action of the govern ment in opening the land, for num- Der of years tied up by the San Car los dam project. With the dam site interfering, it was necessary for the road to cross the river twice in order to avoid a heavy grade. It will, un- der the present circumstances, be un- necessary to cross the river in the canyon. It has always been contend ed that the road would never be built over the route surveyed if the dam site was established by the government and approved.
 The track has been built and trains now operate as far as Winkleman and beyond that point for a distance of six miles the grade is in good condition. The Barlow party yesterday was work ing beyond Christmas, having previ-

SMAsHES HER IDOL
Broken "BillikinS" StreW Home
of Their Creator.
F~iores1s pretz Finds the Image "God
Ct Things as They Oughtn't to
Ee"--No Luck for Her.

Kansas City, Mo.-"Billikin" may be
the god of things as they ought TO be,
but he has been off the job a long
while so far as his creator, Miss FLOR
ence Pretz Of 261S East Thirty-first
street, is concerned. Doubtless there
are smiles in thousands of homes n
Offices where "Billikin" abides II In
the factory where he is fashioned in
Chicago, but his grin brings no laugh
ter or pleasant thoughts to the Pretz
family, and least of all to the gifted
daughter.
For Miss Pretz the squat little fS'
ure has meant so much trouble and
disappointment that he has been ban
ished from her home. She has
smashed the last of the idols she
formerly had priced. She turns aside
from the shop windows to avoid see
ing one. She dislikes even to talk of
"Billikin"-and all because a group
of men have, she believes, deprived
her of the profits which legally should
be hers. Not a "Billikin" is allowed
in Miss Pretz's home. 1t Is a name
never spoken except when absolutely
necessary. Her mother is said to have
one of two of the idols hidden some
where, but the daughter never sees
them. To Mrs. Pretz they stand for a
family hope unrealized, To Miss Pretz
they mean $50 a month royalty while
thousands go to the bank account OF
the men who have involved the de-
signer in a maze of technically word
ed contracts and agreements not un
derstood when she signed them.
Miss Pretz is a teacher of art at the
Manual Training High school. She is
trying to forget "Billikin." She has
despaired Of ever getting what she
believes are her rights and would
rather go blocks out of her way than
see a "Billikin" throne, a "Billikin'
pin, cuff buttons, watch charm or any
thing suggestive of her first business

Borus Sidus of Brookline, Mass, has
sought to prove some of his theories.
Prof. Sidus is a psychologist. That is,
he is a student and an expert on the
human mind.
Sidus had a theory of latent en-
ergy" of the mind. The father then,
each day, sought not to teach the child
anything, but to lead him to discover
for himself some fact and the relation
OF that fact to other facts.
The first course gave the child a
sturdy body and made him a lover Of
outdoors and an expert in all childish
games. The second course kept him
ton. The third gave him facility in
handling that most wonderful of all
tools-the reasoning brain.
Never in his life has he been told
IN answer to a question hat he
wouldn't understand" Never has he
been told a thing is true because ia.
Their say So" Never has he been
given a false or %slovenly answer in
reply to his childish questions.
Each time the little mind reached
out-whether to ask: How big is
the SUM-" or why does the kitty have
a tail?" a careful, truthful answer has
been given. Sidus found that the
foolish questions" which his boy
asked were the same that all children
asked, but he saw in them the crop
ing of an awakened mind, and sought
to give them direction, purpose and
relation.
The result was that the child, not
being held down to the alphabet,
Learning to count Ten" and a few
vague and unrelated facts about the
things he saw about him, was as easily
interested in history as he was in
Mother Goose"
He didn't learn to count ten," but
he learned, by playing dominoes, the
relation of numbers mot figures), and
his mind was permitted to discover for
itself that twice two make four.
They found that a simple book on
chemistry was as interesting to the
child as was Alice in Wonderland
Not only as interesting, but it proved
as easily understood by him.
There are a lot OF things which we
think a child is too young to under
stand. So we won't explain them
The child, however, is as interested in
a locomotive as he is in a cat, and
what interests him he can under
stand.
You don't believe it, do you?

There is no truth either in the

Boys Essay on Clothing.

Here is an extract from an essay.
written by a boy in a London school
Clothing is an article which every.
body should wear. The Feast of this
article is worn by savages or natives,
which is a piece of cloth or a few
leaves or feathers round the waist. In
cold countries, same as Eskimos, the
people YEA more clothes than we do,
count of the icy cold out there. They
can skate all the year round, except
about one thaw there Is In summer.
II they walked about like natives they
would catch cold directly and die of
bronkitis. We put clothes on which
are nearly like our bodies, some have
caps, coats and trousers, but women
and girls wear hats and frocks to tell
who they are"
