GERALDINE sALkS FOn $4,000

Geraldine tarrdr who Is engaged
To marry Antonio Scott, has taken 4
Lesson from Mary Garden and her late
experience and has told Antonio that
she cant marry him until she pays
off n debt OF some $34 1000 she owes
t o a good man and woman who edu-
Gated her for the grand opera stage.
Antonio was right there. He offer
ed to pay it himself and take her note
with herself for security for it, but
Geraldine was talking in the presence
OF a reporter and she said nay TO the
proposition.
Scott is one of the big noises in
the Metropolitan Grand Opera Co.
so it looks now as if Geraldine has
cinched a job next season or until
that debt is paid off at least.

TO CLEANSE MUSLIN DRESSES
With Proper Precautions the Most
Delicate CoIors Will Not Be
Injured.

Muslin dresses, even of the most
delicate %co-ors, can be cleaned in 10
or Is minutes without losing their
co'or. Melt half a pound of soap in a
gallon of water, empty it in a wash
tub, place near two other tubs of
clean water, and stir into one a quart
Of bran. Put the muslin in the soap,
turn 1t over, and knead it for a few
minutes; squeeze it out well, but do
not wiring it; rinse quickly about the
bran Tor a couple Of minutes, rinse
Fgaln in the clean water, squeeze out
dry, and hang between two lines. A
clear, dry day should be chosen. Half
a dozen dresses may be done this way
In haf an hour. Note that a colored
pattern on a white ground must not
be blued.
When the dress is dry. make the
starch-for a colored muslin white
muslin starch, and unboiled, but made
with boiling water. Dip the dress,
hang 1t again to dry, and when dry,
rinse it quickly in clear water. Hang
1t to dry again, sprinkle and roll 1t
up, and afterward iron it with very
hot irons. This rinsing after starch.
Ing Is called clear-starching; none of
the stiffness, but much of the insight.
Illness of the starch is removed in this
way.

CHILD ATE CUTICURA
Spread Whole Box of II on Crackers
Mot the Least Injury Resulted.
Cuticura Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.

A New York friend Of Cuticura
writes:
my three year old son and heir,
after being put to bed on a trip across
the Atlantic, investigated the state
room and located a box of graham
crackers and a box of Cuticura Oint-
ment. When a search was made for
the box, it was found empty and the
kid admitted that he had eaten the
contents Of the entire box spread on
the crackers. It cured him Of a bad
cold and l don't know what else."
No more conclusive evidence could
be offered that every ingredient of Gu.
ticura Ointment is absolutely pure,
sweet and harmless. If it may be
safely eaten by a young child, none but
the most beneficial results can be ex-
pected to attend it's application to even
the tenderest skin or youngest infant.

"'Yes; one was ours and the other

PRESIDENT
 INTERESTED MT. Taft May Visit the Sa|t
 River Valley .DR. CHANDELIERS INTERVIEW Among the Other Things He Discovered Was That No Mistake Was Made Last Fall in the Election of Ralph Cameron.
DR. CHANDELIERS INTERVIEW

Dr. A. J. Chandler, who has just re- turned from a several weeks visit in Detroit Washington and New York. brings back the good word that there is a strong probability that the presi
 dent of the United States. William H. Taft, may visit the Salt River valley this coming fall and in the event that he does, there is further probability that he will visit the Roosevelt prof ect While in Washington, pr. Chan dler called upon the president and found him very much interested in Arizona. and especially in the work that is being done by the government. In regard to the president visiting the valley this fall. the doctor said:
 q fully believe that the president will stop in Arizona this fall on his western trip. I found him very much interested in the work being done by the government and anxious for all the information available. l was es- pecially gratified when he expressed himself so faVorably in regard to statehood | feel confident that Ari- zona has a friend in President Taft when it comes to the fight for state hood. However. the point at issue is right here: We want President Taft to visit Arizona this fall It is an ad- vertisement for the valley. as well as sociation. the chambers of commerce
Arizona republican., 1909-07-05

and the boards of trade of the towns in the valley should at once commence to lay plans for concentrated move ment to secure at least two days visit from the chief executive
 '1 learned further that Arizona made no mistake last fall in Ralph Cam eron. He is very active and is filling the office of delegate to congress in an admirable manner"
 The primary object of the doctors visit to Washington was to complete the sale of the Consolidated canal. The deal was made for the canal several months ago for a consideration of S1S7, ,000. but it was held up in the le- gal department at Washington on a technicality The visit was success full and the canal is now the property of the government Secretary of the Interior Rallinger expressed himself as very favorable to the manner in which the work is being done in Arizona and vouchsafed an opinion that he would visit this section of the country next fall.
 The doctor has always been recog nized as one of the foremost adver- tisers Of the Salt River valley. He has time and again been at the head of the Mesa chamber of commerce and an active worker with the Maricopa County Board of Trade and similar organizat ations. but he comes home con vinced that the feature of successful advertising lies in the eXerting of per sonal energy. or rather in d personal campaign The time was when d pam phlet was of considerable value. and it is yet, for that matter. but the real benefits are derived from face to face talks. In commenting on this phase of the advertising system. the doctor said:
 The popular and successful man ner of advertising today is by illus trated lecture and exhibits where the people can see and understand for themselves. The Chicago Tribune is spending $3O,O00 on an exhibit of irri- gated western products. They are anxious for an exhibit and there is no reason why this section should not be represented The Salt River Val ley is peculiarly situated so as to be able to offer an attractive exhibit. The dates. lemons. almonds and oranges. etc. which are grown in this valley in- variably attract attention. Southern California. of course. occupies prac- tically the same position as far as an exhibit is concerned. I am heartily in favor of personal campaign. to follow after the placing of exhibits and the stereopticon lectures. and be lieve the Salt River valley ought to send representatives throughout the East. whose business il should be to preach the gospel of the Salt River valley. The santa Fe railroad is talk ing up the idea of the stereopticon lec- ture and is using it very successfully. The personal effort can be thrown in after an illustrated lecture. and in my opinion it is the thing"

WATER is IMPURE.

It was suspicioned by the attending
physician that the sickness 10 the Nor
wood family was caused by impure
drinking water. A sample OF the water
was accordingly sent by the local health
officer to the State Board Of Health for
analysis Their report was received the
first of this week, and confirms the sus-
picions. They report that the water was
highly contaminated and unfit for use.
The well was at one time an open one,
which was later filled and pump put
in. 1t is quite shallow, and it is proba-
BILE that impurities have percolated
through the soft soil and caused the con-
tamination.
