CREAMERY IS COMING
R. w. Davis to Move Butter Making Plant From Imperial to Fl Centro
 Next Month.

Next month Fl Centro will gain an other important factor in it's commer- cial life-the Davis creamery, which is to reemove from Imperial to occupy cold storage building now being com pleted by w. F. Holt.
 The Davis creamery has been turn ing out an average of 1000 pounds of butter per day, and in it's new quar- ters will be prepared to considerably increase this output. R. W. Davis, the proprietor, has long seen the advan- tage of the El Centro location, which gives railroad junction facilities. He expects to move his equipment over from Imperial the first part of July, and in order to be prepared for it's reception workmen are rushing the finishing of that section of the cold storage building which he is to occupy.
 The new creamery will have the entire eastern side of the brick build ing located east of the Southern Pa cific tracks and fronting on a line which would be a continuation of Broadway east It will have large, we'll lighted butter making room, two cold storage compartments, and a roomy office.
 A gasoline engine is to be used as an auxiliary power plant has arrived this week, and will be installed as soon as the builders are out of the way
 The other portions of the cold cold storage are also well along. The window and door frames have been placed and the first floors have been laid. Wide shipping platforms are to be constructed on the west and south sides of the building.
Imperial Valley press., 1910-06-18

Tracklaying on the San Diego & Arizona Railroad from El Centro west ward to New River will be completed within ten days. It is expected that freight service will be started by the first of July and that passenger ser vice will be put on about July IS, under the management of the Holton Inter- urban Railroad.
 3 Tracklaying has now reached the Emma J. Grain ranch, seven and a quarter miles west of El Centro. It should reach New River, the terminus for the present, by June 2S, and about ten days will be required thereafter for surfacing and lining.
 Completion of the bridge work will take until about the first of August, but this will not interfere with the operation of train service. Switches are to be laid at Wilsie, Mobile and Seeley, and a Wye is to be installed at the latter point.
 Difficulty has been experienced in keeping full crew on the work and at present from seventy-fv to eighty men are on the job, with camp es- tablished at Mobile.
 The freight service is to be installed as soon as possible to give ranchers and dairymen along the new road advantages in shipping their products to Fl Centro. This is to be put on before the road is formally turned oyer by the construction department Details of the proposed train service have not yet been closed, but it is probable that two round trips each day will be made by the passenger service and one round trip each day by the freight train.

NEW RULES FOR CATHOLICS
Text Of Decree Governing Reception
Of First Communion.
AGE FOR CHILDREN REDUCED
Seven Years the Minimum Fixed by
Church AuthOrities-sOme Prac-
tees Criticised and For
hidden

Much interest is felt in Roman Catholic
circles regarding the degree recently APP
proved by Pope Plus X, reducing the age at
which children may receive first commun-
ion. The decree was drafted by Cardinal
Ferrata, project Of the sacred congregation
on the discipline OF the sacraments. 1t has
not been promulgated officially in the
western diocese as yet. but was read in ell
the Catholic churches Of Philadelphia last
Sunday.
The decree orders radical changes in
rules governing the administration OF holy
communion and the sacrament of penance
to children. Its most important features
are announcements that hereafter the age
OF discretion at which children may re-
ceive holy communion, as we'll as penance
shall be that at which a child begins to
reason, about the age Of years, and that
the practice OF permitting children at this
age TO die without first receiving the sac
rament must be stopped at once.
In the opinion of members of the Sacred
Congregation, 1T is an utterly. detestable
abuse not to administer viaticum and ex-
treme JUNCTION to children having attained
the use OF reason and to bury them accord.

Doctors Using New Blackstone
Treatment and Curing Their
Own Alcoholic Cases.
Treatment is an Absolute Spo-
cific for Alcoholism Method
is Not q Secret.
CURES ANY CASE
IN THREE DAYS
Blackstone Company Gives
Privilege to a Physician in
Each Nebraska Town.
Successful Treatment of Drink
Habit Does Away with Big
Fees of Institutes.

Thlrty-four physicians Of Nebraska have
made application 20 the blackstone Com
pany for the privilege of using the new
three-day treatment for alcoholism In
their home towns.
The Blackstone method Is destined TO
revolutioniEe the treatment of LIQUOR
drinking. In the United states, each year,
over 100000 is paid into institutions by
the families and friends OF drinking men,
and In return doubtful cure is effected.
There Is no reason now why the physi-
clans themselves should not take up the
meter Of treating and curing alcoholic
patients, thereby greatly adding 10 their
practice as well as keeping the money
paid to institutions by their patients at
home.
The Blackstone treatment is put up
especially for physicians The physician
using 1t in mis- practice need not give IL
out that he is using the Blackstone meth
cd. Each case will respond in three days
all craving and desire for liquor will
disappear and the patient will be greatly
benefited mentally and physically. Tbs
treatment contains no poisonous, delte"
rious or cumulative drugs. 1t cures by
eliminating the accumulative alcoholic
poison from the system. 1t Is the pres
ence of tins poison that causes nerve
demand for alcoholic liquor. Less than
per cent of those treated by the Black
stone method will relapse within the year
of treatment. 1t can we'll be called
specific for alcoholism.
No physician need hesitate to use the
Blackstone treatment in his practice.
There is nothing secret about the method
and the results are satisfactory in every
case. The remedy is supplied to ply
siclans at a cost very little In advance of
the cost OF the drugs it contains and the
cost of distribution. 1t Is sold to ply
sicians with the understanding that the
results shall be entirely satisfactory to
both physician and patient or there shall
be no charge for the remedy. No other
assurance that treatment has been I'M
satisfactory in any case is required by
the Blackstone company than the ply
sicians word.
| The Blackstone company, with Omaha
| offices in rooms 300 to 81 Brandeis The
alter building, invites physicians desiring
to use the remedy in their practice to
| call or write Off particulars. 1t is de-
sired that a physician in each town in
the state of Nebraska outside the city
of Omaha take up the curing OF alco-
holism by the Blackstone method. The
company can and will send to the ply
sicians in the various towns many pa
tients.
AS many applications are being re-
ceived daily from physicians over the
state, this announcement and offer may
not be repeated, therefore those interest
ed should write or cail without delay.

depth Of the map shows between the rolf
ers at the top and bottom.
The map has been a year in making
and eight men have worked nearly con-
tnuously upon It. IL was made in sections
about ten feet square. These were as
sembled a few weeks ago on the floor OF
the Twelfth regiment armory and sewed
and pasted together so sldllfully that II
requires close examination to detect the
juuoture lines. Then It was rolled up on
its rollers and transported down town on
theatrical truck.
A shade roller manufacturing company
made two rollers. The top one, which is
simply a giant spring roller made OF steel
is the largest thing OF the kind ever con-
structed. The manufacturers declined TO
guarantee that 1t would work properly. and
Mr.. Gould had It made at his own risk.
The roller is five inches in diameter and
thirty-seven feet long. Siuce II is impos-
sible to construct, even OF steel tube
supported at the ends only that would not
sag sufficiently to make the map hanging
from II show distortion, Mr.. Gray used
roller cradle, which he designed for the
Hartman map, which holds the roller up
at the middle This consists Of two smaller
rollers placed just far enough apart under
the big one TO give a little depression, into
which the big one, with the map rolled
around it, sits. They roll with the big
one, and are provided with springs and
adjustments to make up for the varying
thickness of the rolled up map, which
trolls face-on to the big roller, thus making
| 1t so that the little cradle rollers touch
| only the canvas back of the map.
! About fourth OF the depth OF the map
! shows at one time, by crank and auto
matte chain and sprocket arrangement a
man at one end Of the mahogany frame
can make the two rollers move In unison
and bring any point in the United States
down to the eye level. 1t Was Mr.. Gould $
| first plan to have the map rolled by an
| electric motor, but he was advised that the
whole apparatus might be ruined IL some
body who didn't know how should Try to
work the current and make mistake.
The apparatus now works perfectly, the
great map rolling up and down smoothly
without a hitch or wrinkle.-New York
Times
