More Than Enough is Too Much.

To maintain health, mature man or woman needs just enough food to repair the waste and supply energy and body heat. The habitual con- sumption of more food than is neces- sary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism and disorders of the kidneys. If troubled with indigestion, revise your diet, let reason and not appetite con- trol and take few doses of Chamber lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and you will soon be all right again.

Local Option Petition Rejected.

Last Monday a petition with S4 sig natures attached was presented to the board of supervisors, praying them to call an election in a large part of the county to vote on prohibition of the liquor traffic. After some discussion of the matter the application was re- jected, two of the supervisors voting against and one for the petition. The ground taken by the majority of the board was that the county was not financially able to bear the expense of an election covering the greater part of the county, and also that the peti- tion did not conform to the established precincts of the county. A peculiar feature of Mohave county is that there are but two precincts in it, one north of the Colorado river and one south of that stream, while the petition covered small portion of the district north of the river, as we'll as all the district south of the river. For this reason the board held the opinion that the petition did not conform to the law re- quiring such petitions to cover justices precincts, even though an integral part of the county is taken in.

Hoffman and Miss Mary Gross, and his broth CTS, John and Frank Gross attended the funeral
 Recently the Board of Supervisors advertised for bids for caring for the inmates of the farm. The lowest bid was 2$ per day for each individual.

For the first twenty days, the expenses, including food, physi- elan and superintendent's salaries, medicines, and all incidentals have amounted to 79 cents per day per man, The Board is jubilant over the show ing and think expenses can still be re- duced.

Mentone going into Italy, where they settled in little
village by the sea- where the Maritime Alps high
above them. They took long walks, as they had done
in southern France exploring the rocks gathering wild
flowers wandering through lemon and orange
orchards the terraccd sides of the mountains Some
times the few English-speakng strangers went with
them their rambies.
Mother Norman said one day, Eve found lovely
walk this afternoon Alice and I followed Mon
sieur Jacques and his friends up winding path from
the rocks, through the terraces and came the
high-road, and home that way. You come tomorrow,
and we will show you the way"
They had become SO fond of the gentle Italians of
Mentone that they felt quite fearless in taking lonely
walks, or even in picking fresh, juicy lemon or
ange but in this little place where they stay
ing they comparative strangers.
Early afternoon the mother and children set
forthsto explore the path, walking first along the
shore and clambering rocks and at sharp turn

orchards and skirting olive grove. Up and up they

going from the hotel, the donkey-woman
who brought the little animals and went
along beside them to urge them on tried
to mount fat lady, who stood on
bench for the purpose. Now, this little
donkey had carried the old lady before;
moreover, he was a donkey of good
memory, and his poor back still felt sore
from her great weight He allowed the
woman to lead him to the bench, but
each time the large rider tried to
scat herself, Mr.. Donkey gave jerk
and a bound to the other side of the
road. The large lady was very good
natursd and laughed heartily.
Poor denkeyw she said. "He re-
members" and laughed harder than
ever. That gave every one else chance
to laugh, too, without seeming rude, and
when the stout donkey-woman picked up
thin little old gentleman and popped
him on the saddle, a perfect rear of
laughter rent the air.
The Carnival was great event. and
when King Carnival rode past, seated
on huge fish, and followed by many
grotesque ard funny figures, the chill
dren threw confetti with the crowd, and
had no end of fun.
The Battle of Flowers was another
great attraction, each carriage being
most beautifully decorated with its
chosen flowers. Masses of pink roses
covered one carriage, and the ladies who
occupied it wore colors to match An
other carriage was dccked with yellow
blossoms, and still another with violets.
Bouquets were flung from the roadside
and from carriage to carriage, and the
battle was fast and furious.
