PLANS FOR THE
Ell PASO zoo
Are Drawn to Last For all
lime, But Will Be Grad
ually Built Up

While plans for a zoo were presented
TO the park committee OF the city coun-
ell by architect S. E. Patton, Thursday,
1t Is not likely that the city will build
a zoo this year on account of the lack
of funds.
However, it is the idea of the mayor
and city council to gradually build it
up, piece by PIECE, erecting cages as
they are required for animals received
A handsome entrance is planned for the
zoo, which will be located in the south
west portion of the park. and there will
be fountain in the center with paths
running around the various cages so
that visitors may see the animals.
Alderman W. S. Clayton in discussing
the zoo plans said: &C. E. Kelly and ]
are trying TO raise a subscription to
purchase two white deer and we expect
TO get some other animals before long
There will never be any charge to see
the animals The park will always be
free to the public no matter how much
is expended on fitting it up. and L do
not think it would be fair to charge
for admission"

Sin, Disease and Death.
Probably nothing has been more mis-
understood by people than the statement
made by Christian Scientists that sin
diesase, and death are not realm
fact, nothing but false beliefs. When
this statement is understood, it stands
out in bold relief as honoring God by
recognizing in deed as well as word His
omnipotence, omniscience, and omni-
presence-as good. wherein there is
neither elemental evil nor consecutive
passivity which seems to recognize evil
and permit its existence. Christian
Science gives US but one standard OF
measurement, and that standard is God
Life and Death.
If God is changeless, how could He
give life and at the same time give
death? When life was existent what
would become of death, and when death
was existent what would become of life?
If God created them, they must both be
as eternal as their creator. How can
they both exist eternally when one
manifests the absence of the other as
certainly as light annihilates darkness?
Respecting the claims of materia
medica, we can but ask, if God put
drugs on the earth to preserve and save
the life Of mankind, why did Jesus, who
came doing the will Of the Father, fail
to use them in the healing which he &C
eomplished? Jesus never used anything
for the healing of mankind from disease
other than the word Of God.
Investigation Asked.
We ask you to investigate, not Chris
tan Scientists, but Christian Science,
and see how absolutely it reveals the
Cody standard wherein what bIesses
one blesses all. Every promise Shall be
fulfilled, and the grand work of Christ.
as exemplified in Christian Science, be
universally accepted

Eternal Life.
Unconsciously we have all fallen into
the error of thinking that eternal life
will begin for each of US when our ex-
perience here has ended, but thoughtful
consideration makes us know that eter-
nal life never began and will never end,
that it is the same yesterday, today, and
forever The fact that life is and is
eternal, is positive proof that death is
not, and leads as to search the Scrip
lures that we may find how TO turn
from death upto life.
1t will be argued that this statement
OF Jesus referred simply to the spiritual
life; and this is true, for there rs only
one life and that life is spirit, God.
The work which Christian Science is do
ing for mankind today is enabling US
to eliminate from consciousness the be-
lief that there is any life other than
the spiritual, and is bringing dominion
and power to the one who before was
held in bondage-subiect to all things,
master of none.
Use of the Bible
1t is said that Christian Scientists do
not use the Bible; that all they use is
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" written by Mrs. Eddy. No
statement could be more untrue be-
cause the disclosure Of the spirit of the
word which maketh alive-and that is
as the result Of continuous study of the
Bible with the aid of the Christian

UNION HAS PROTEST AGAINST ACTION
 OF BUTCHERS
Passes Resolutions of Con. demnation Against New
 Cash System

At the last regular meeting of Globe Miners Union the following resolution was adopted:
 Resolved, By Globe Miners Union that we protest against the action of the butchers and business men of Globe in demanding cash payments, and cut- ting off monthly credit, and we desire to point out that the majority of the wageworkers in the district are paid monthly, and we are of the opinion that they are doing an injustice to all wage workers.
 We desire to remind the business men that they are dependent upon us, not forgetting the fact that to cer- tain extent we are dependent upon them. If this policy is pursued it will work for a short time a hardship upon us, and bring financial ruin to the bus mess interest of Globe. We therefore consider it to the best interest of all that monthly credit be continued. GLOBE MINERS UNION No. 60, w.

"Good news travels fast,' and the thousands of bad back sufferers in Globe are glad to learn that prompt re- lief is within their reach. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Thousands upon thousands of people are telling the good news of their experi- ence with the Old Quaker Remedy Here is an example worth reading:
 Mrs J. A. BlOunt, 331 North Main street, Tucson, Ariz., says: "About a year ago while living in Phoenix, l used Doan s Kidney Pills, which were highly recommended to me by a friend. I found them very effective in relieving the pains in the small ot my back from which I had suffered a great deal. I attributed this trouble to disordered kit tneys. It did not take Doan s Kid ney Pills long to convince me that they live up to representations and the praise I give them is duly warranted. My advice to anyone having backache or any other annoyance caused by weak kidneys is to get Doan s Kidney Pills and give them trial.
 I am certain that the most pleasing results wI4I be obtained. "

Heavy Loss Suffered in Sec ond Fire on Property
 in Weeks Time
ORIGIN OF BLAZE
 A DEEP MYSTERY
Severe Damage by Water Is Added to Fire Loss
 in Lacy Home

After having been on fire less than a week ago, the home of Mrs. Margaret Lacy, at 432 North Hill street was badly damaged at clock last night by another blaze which was subdued by the fire department only after hard fight.
 The fire originated in basement kitchen, where the first fire was discov- cred. It's origin is entirely unknown, as it is claimed by w. E. and H. Lacy. who occupied the house during their mother s absence, that there had been no fire in the kitchen stove for several days.
 The flames had spread to the outside of the house when the fire department arrived, but both the chemical and water hose lines were working within a few seconds, with the result that the fire was under control before it had spread to the second floor of the build ing.
 The Lacy brothers removed the great CT part of their personal effects from the house before the arrival of the fire department. The furniture could not be removed, however, and was badly damaged by water, it being necessary to flood the entire house before the last vestige of the fire could be dis pelled
 The house is owned by James Towle of Los Angeles and is said to be in sured, although in what amount could not be learned last night. The house was not badly damaged, except by wa ter
 Mrs. Lacy's effects, which are said to carry some insurance, will be prac- tically total loss.
 The house had just been repaired, fol lowing the blaze of week ago, when last night s fire originated. Less than two hours before the blaze was discov- cred, carpenter had completed his work by hanging an outside door in the basement kitchen where the fire Origi mated.
 The premises were investigated to some extent by members of the fire de partment last night, but nothing with regard to the origin of the fire could be determined, its cause being more of a mystery than has been the case with any recent local fire.
