1.-The Roswell Record makes this
point against the Spiess local option
bill, that it would reduce the saloon
license in Roswell from $4,000 to
$1,000 a year. Before passage, this
provision of the bill should be chang
ed to read "at least 5 $1,000" in cities
Of more than 5000 inhabitants.-San-

Roswell and Pecos Valley people

ton law. But 1T need not contain a
half dozen sections. Let the present
laws for local control OF the liquor
traffic continue sin~force If thought
best, with merely such amendments
as will enable the people to speedily
vote the saloons out of any county
il they so desire-and then provide
for the proper enforcement of abso-
lutte prohibition in such counties as
vote against the saloons. In those
counties that wish to retain the sa-
looms let the local officers have entire
control and regulation of the traffic.
So long as Roswell has saloons they
could hardly be better regulated than
they are now-but when they are
voted out, let there be no question
as to their going.

HICCoUGHs.
A SIMPLE TREATMENT BY WHICH
THEY MAYBE CURED.

SIMPLE TREATMENT BY WHICH
THEY MAY. BE CURED.
Did you ever take nine swallows of
water to cure the hiccoughs 7? Do you
remember the time some one scared the
hiccoughs- away by telling you of a
whipping due for some meanness
Well, science has been studying hic-
conghs and caught the hiccoughs by
the ''nape of the neck" The nine
swallow of water had little science in
it, and so did the scare cure. sThe sci
entific hiccough cure consists in press
ing down to numbness the nerve that
connects the stomach, heart, lungs and
brain, the pneumogastric nerve. The
pressure partially aud locally paralyzes
this nerve and of necessity the hiccough-
ing must cease.
Have the hiccoughing patient sit
down and be at ease, with the muscles
of the neck relaxed as much as possible.
Grasp both sides of the neck somewhat
toward the back part and press down
steadily and as hard as the subject may
permit for about one minute, having
the patient work the head from side to
side. Within about one minute the
nerve will be numbed and rested, and
the spasmodic motion will cease. 1t
may require longer pressure in some
cases, but the result is sure if patience
is maintained.-Ohi0 State Journal

THE POLITE FRENCHMAN.
HE WILL SAY "PARDON," BUT WILL
CROWD YOU OFF THE PAVEMENT.

CROWD YOU OFF THE PAVEMENT.
Among the myths about the Paris
ians that have been fastened on the
world at large is the notion that they
are the politest people we have. That
is good old one, but when you come
to analyze it its mythical qualities soon
show. The Parisians are conversation
ality polite. They are the greatest art
lists at the deferential phrase and the
obsequious bow.
Actually the Partisan is not polite.
He is not even passably polite. He is
discourteous and disagreeable. He
walks along the streets as if he owned
them and refuses to turn out, no mat
ter what the circumstances are. He
bumps into passersby who are used to
the ordinary street courtesy, swoops up
on the best seats in the pubic convey
ances, will not bulge an inch when
your theater seats are beyond him,
crowds you in the restaurants and
cafes, ogles every woman he meets and
is generally offensive. To be sure, if
he sees chance to get anything away
from you or to advance his own inter-
est at your expense, he says "Pardon'
and does what he has in mind. His
politeness consists of that one word.
"Pardon." So far as his language goes,
he is courteous. But it is all .conversa-
tion.-Samuel T. Blythe in Everybody's
Magazine.

Don't BE Misled.

The retail druggists of this county, as
a class, are noted for their high stand
ard of intelligence and honorable deal
ing, but it is well known fact that oc-
casienally you will find one who will
try to sell you something else when you
call for remedy of established reputa-
ton. He forgets that your health is
more important than his pocketbook.
Fer example, when you ask for DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great Kid
ney, Liver and Bladder Remedy, don't
let any druggist, drug clerk or store
keeper persuade you into buying some
thing else in its place. Every time he
succeeds in selling you worthless sub
stitute he makes more profit, but you
are humbugged at the expenses of youl
health
For many years we have watched
with much interest the remarkable re-
cord. maintained by DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root. From the very begin
ming, the proprietors had so much con
fdence in it..that they invited every
one to send for a free sample bottle sc
that people could judge of its great
curative value in even the most dis
tressing cases of kidney, liver and blad
der troubles.
On another page of this paper yor
will find few of the letters, prompted
by feelings of heartfelt gratitude, thai
are constantly coming to DR.. Kilmer 6
Company. No one can doubt such sin
cere and honest testimony.

Superstition is Very Old.

Many superstitions have been traced,
with some definiteness, to their origin,
but that about the horseshoe has not. 1t
has been traced back to about 1850, but
there the antiquariana had to give it
up. At that time, most of the houses
in the west end of London had a horse
shoe nailed over the door as protec-
Gon against witches and evil spirits. 1t
was believed that witch could not
enter a house so protected. Many
houses in this county have a horse
shoe attached to them in some way,
and sailors, who are nearly all super
stitions, nail the shoes up in their ships
for ssluck." Out of this old supersti-
ton grew the notion that it is 'lucky''
to find an old horseshoe, and it is also
that the more nails there are in the shoe
when you pick it up, the more luck you
will have.

New Envelope is Thief Proof.

A new envelope made in Paris is
proof against the thief or the meddler
who opens letter to extract or to read
it's contents, and then reseal it 80
cleverly as to hide any sign of it having
been tampered with.
The new envelope is really two en-
velopes. Each is of thin paper, one a
pronounced blue, the other lighter in
color and different texture. Each has
gummed flap.
The letter is first placed in the blue
envelope which is slightly smaller than
the other. Instead of sealing this it is
placed in the outer envelope and the
inner flap brought outside and gummed
down on the larger envelope.
The outer flap is still unsealed. 1t is
much larger than the inner flap and
reaches down to good sized starshap-
ed opening, which shows through to
the inner envelope, so that when the
outer flap is sealed it sticks not only to
the outer envelope but through this
opening to the inner one. The letter
is thus practically locked and double
locked.
