DIABETES

From late figures the hope of recov- cry under the new emollient treatment seems to be about as follows: .-
 In people of sixty and over results are quite uniform. probably ninetenths recovering. While at fifty and over a large majority of all cases yield to the treatment. below fifty and approaching forty the disease gets more stubborn. and between thirty and forty, the per centage is not high-probably not half yielding.
 Under thirty there is great uncer- tainty and in children recoyeries have been very few and even those were only obtained with the aid of skilled physicians forcing nutrition, with all kaline treatment to prevent formation of acetones.
 The new emollient treatment Is known as Fulton's Diabetic Compound. It can be had in Phoenix at all first class drug stores.

watching out. The Tombstone Epi- taph has the most opposite of titles. though Tombstone is far from dead just now The Sun is not out of place at Yuma. though another pa Der of the same name is published at the less torrid Flagstaff. The No gales Oasis is surely an agreeable name in a desert land. The long stilIed Voice of Casa Grande might have been likened to one crying out in the wilderness, as did the prophet of old
 Some people still write to Arizona for the Arizona Kicker. There never was such a sheet outside of the De troit Free Press office, though he editor of the Tombstone Epitaph once thought the name a valuable one and tried to hold it for the out side circulation of his strictly sober and international weekly. There never was sheet in Arizona that looked like the Kicker or that had an editor of the pistol-carrying. swashbuckling sort. The nearest approach was when Pat Hamilton. then Tombstone edi- tor, challenged Lawyer sam Purdy to fight a duel to the death on the other side of the Mexican line. Ari- zona at large laughed over that for months The participants were in dead ly earnest, but their seconds saw to it that the pistols used were not fit ted for deadly work.
 In the newspaper business Is wierd fascination, a sort of self hyp- notism that I cannot understand, though I have lived for many years in it's atmosphere Some there are who break into what they are pleased to call journalism" merely through vanity. They like to see their names and their ideas in print. But that doesn't explain it al by any means. l supporse a worker bee in a hive can not help working He was made that way And it is possible that nature in her infinite wisdom has provided for the birth of percentage of men who are destined from the cradle to become missionaries and others to be the writers of cotemporaneous his tory The life of a newspaper man is a hard one. whether he be editor of the Weekly Banner of Freedom, published at Zumwalt Switch, or a reporter on the New York Sun. Now adays he usually makes less in financial way than the man at the typesetting machine. Yet, once es-

 Outside of this sort of psychic fasci- nation. there wouId appear 10 be no possible reason accounting for the way in which men have plunged into the deserts and mountains of Ari- zona to establish newspapers An. there has been pride in many an Ari- zona hamlet as it's entire population gathered around the little hand press to welcome the birth of their journal istic babe of promise that should carry afar the story of their great ness. The only compositor was the pressman, across the iron press bed the devil energetically distributing the ink on a composition roller. but none too slillfully. The paper had been wet down" the day before and lay in smjbth dampness. The forms being inked. the printer thrust a sheet of paper upon the tympa1 points. slowly unhoOked the swinging frisket and brought it down to pro- tect the margins of the paper. rolled the bed under the platen, heaved away on the lever that gave the pressure and rolled back the bed.

forts to find human sympathy and companienshfp.
 The press of yesterday In Arizona's history differs from that of today in just the same proportion that the press of today will be found to dif- fer from that of tomorrow. The hand presses of yesterday have been succeeded by the cylinder and per fecting presses. The olden time tramp print has departed and has been succeeded by a machinist who sits before wonderful tangle of steel and who piles up more compo- sition in a night than one man used to put up in five Many of the pio- neer printers were not very expert, but each of the papers had it's own individuality in typographical as well as editorial way Nowadays the average machine set newspaper looks very much like it's neighbor and the reader is prone to mix the characters of the publications in the similarity of the letter press
 Yet. while we look back with keen appreciation upon the joy that at tended a draught from the old pump. we would not care to return to the conditions that surrounded the old pump. The hand press was pic turesque like the old spinning wheel. and now is about as practical The old newspapers were crude. just as the country was crude. Today they would be hopelessly out of place. even though printed upon rotary presses In the newspaper of today you ex- pect to find the news of the uttermost parts of the earth, flashed by wire' you demand from it completeness that could hardly have been had in the days of hand composition. It has circulation that is measured by thou sands instead of by tokens or ten auires In the larger places It mas become a business bereft of senti- mentality, a business enterprise. pure and simple. Yet. after all. It re- mains the same in this-the press still voices the community's best hopes and still points toward reia- tive improvement in the struggles or it's community toward righteousness

Use of Astringents.

A special request 7 have lust received
which seems TO me to be Of general in
terest. is: How shall one avoid the use of
powder on the face? To tell the truth.
few women can get along without powder
in some form, and there is not the Slight
est objection to il if one is chosen that is
simple in composition. If the application
is washed off at night and the face al
ways cleansed before retiring. the pores
will remain unclogged and the skin
smooth. 1t is only when owders having
lead and other injurious ingredients are
used habitually and permitted to remain
on that the complexion is harmed
Yet when there is deeply rooted preiu-
dice against powder, daily applica tons of
pronounced astringentS sometimes act as
substitutes by neutralizing the natural oil
of the skin. But in order to apply any
such liquids successfully a woman must
study her face carefully and know which
part requires it. If the nose is not greasy
1t sometimes follows that the cheeks near
1t and the chin may be, while the outer
edge OF the cheeks and the forehead are
dry. A strong astringent, if put over
those naturally dry sections, will simply
act to give them a chapped appearance,
because there is no oil in those regions to
require neutralizing. Therefore the nose
Is not to be treated. but only the skin
near 1t.
The most pronounced astringent | know
Is saturated solution of borax IT is made
by almost filling bottle with clear water
and then putting in all the powdered
borax that the water can be made to dis
solve. There Is no fear of adding too
much borax, for what cannot be taken up
by the water will remain a powder in the
bottom This liquid may be perfumed. if
one wishes.
It is applied to the skin with a soft bit
OF linen or muslin, and dries on. Should
1t not agree, the skin will become chap
ped II this happens, a little cold cream
may be rubbed in.
Powders which are harmless are arrow
root, rice. starch and magnesia. They
can be scented, if one chooses, by keeping
them in jar in which is a stick of orris
root. Medicated cotton is the best meth
cd for applying any powder, as a new

fruit growers and stock men wanted to
call into service special equipment. In
every case the railroads refused to fur
nish the special cars required in the diff
ferent lines of business. In one sense
the history of the private car really goes
back further than the beginning of the
dressed beef industry. When railroads
first were built ii was intended that they
should he operated on the turnpike or toll
road principle. All users thereof were
to furnish their own cars, and the rail-
road company was to charge toll for
passing over its line. In the earliest
days of railroading the cars were drawn
by horses. Then the locomotive became
a substitute for the horse and for awhile
two tolls were levied: the one for the
use of the road and the other for the use
of the motive power. II soon was found
that such plan of operation was out of
the question, the average railroad train
of that day looking like a veritable
Noah's ark of vehicles, all shapes and
sizes. and in all degrees of repair So
the railroads took over the cars of all
shippers and the private car was dead
for the time being.
Later on. the star of en-
pire passed westward across the
AleghenieS. and on toward the
Rocky mountains and the Pacific ocean.
there was found to be a great demand
for through freight service No railroad
could give such service, as each was but
a small link in a long chain of little
lines. Such railroad facilities as through
routes and joint rates were yet I'M
heard of, and the shipper had little re-
course for the unusual damages arising
from the very frequent transshipment
of goods from one line to another on
their journey from the west to the east
The railroads were unwilling to be the
pioneers in the establishment of through
routes and joint rates, and ii fell to the
shippers themselves TO organize such
routes and rates, through the operation
of privately owned fast freight lines
After while the railroads saw that the
fast freight lines were making more
money out of the business than they
were, so they took over these lines and
operated them on a cooperative basis.
