To Stop a Cough in
a Hurry

With this recipe you can make
a pint of cough remedy at home
in five minutes. A few doses
usually conquer the most obsti-
nate cough. Simple as it is, no
better remedy can be had at any
price.
Put 21s ozs. of Pinex (fifty
cents WORTH in a clean pint bot
tie, and fill up with Granulated
Sugar Syrup, made as. follows:
Take a pint of Granulated Sugar,
add II pint OF warm water and
stir for 2 minutes. Take a tea
spoonful every one, two or three
hours. The taste is very pleas
ant-children take it willingly.
Splendid, too, for colds, chest
pains, whooping cough, bron-
chitis, etc.
Granulated Sugar makes the
best syrup. Pinex, as you proba-
bly, know, is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Nor
way White Pine Extract. None
OF the weaker pine preparations
will take it's place. If your drug
gist hasn't the real Pinex he can
easily get 1t for you.
Strained honey can be used in
stead of the syrup, and makes a
very fine honey and pine tar
cough syrup.

No New Bakery for Clifton.

After making all preliminary ar
engagements and having the building
prepared and the oven started,
Messrs. Stephens and Anderson
changed their minds about starting a
new bakery in Clifton. The new
bakery was to be started on Hills
addition on the property owned by
G. o Billipgsley and would soon have
been reality but for the fact that
Stephens and Anderson were offered
a first-class proposition at the new
mining camp of Miami, near Globe.
Besides being presented with bakery
site they were guaranteed a business
of 400 loaves of bread daily, which
attracted their attention. After
settling for all the work and debts
they had incurred they departed for

Death of Robert Johnson.

Robert Johnson, aged twenty-six
years, young man who came to Cliff
ton about six years ago, died in Cliff
ton suddenly last Sunday about noon.
Deceased was employed with the
Arizona Copper company store de-
partment and was continually con-
nected with the Clifton store until a
few months ago when he was trans
ferred to a better position in the
Metcalf store. He frequently visited
Clifton and on last Saturday evening
came down to spend Sunday. Shortly
after his arrival here he complained
of feeling bad and retired quite
early, and during the night grew
worse, though his condition was not
considered dangerous in the least &.
During Sunday morning he appeared
to be getting worse, though he in
formed his friends who called to see
him that he was not suffering any.
His friends decided to call a doctor
and upon his arrival it was learned
that Mr.. Johnson has Il severe case
of pneumonia and was in a dying
condition. He lived but a short
time thereafter.
Robert Johnson was quite popular
with the people who knew MIN and
his acquaintance here extended all
over the entire district. He was bet
ter known as tTaters Johnson"
which name he was given when he
first arrived here from his old,home
in Texas. He has a brother residing
at Ell Paso, who arrived here Tuesday
evening to attend the funeral, which
occurred Wednesday morning. De-
ceased was engaged to be married
within the next two months, which
makes his sudden death even more
sad. He did not belong to any of the
secret societies, but, his funeral was
attended by a large number of
friends. Interment took place in the
Masonic cemetery up Wards canyon.

J. Backstein Meets With Accident.

What might have been a much
more serious accident occurred on
the wagon road between Morenci and
Clifton last Sunday evening when
Messrs. J. Backstein, +. o. Bacon, l..
V. Hoyt and Jim Sorrell were return
ing to Clifton from the Gold Belt
mines. The vehicle they were riding
in was in bad order and before reach
ing Morenci the party stopped and
made repairs which they thought
would last until they reached Cliff
ton. After passing Morenci and
when they had approached a bad
part of the road in the Morenci can
yon, one of the single trees gave way
and before they could stop the rig
was turned over. Its occupants fell
out among the rocks in the creek
and the wagon landed on them.
Mr.. Bacon fell on his head and
shoulders and was rendered uncon-
scious for a few minutes and Mr..
BAckstein sustained a broken collar
bone and other injuries. Mr.. Hoyt
was pinned under the wagon, but as
he is always fortunate, the back of
the seat prevented him from being
hurt. Mr.. Bacon, though he re-
ceived a good jolt, was able to be out
the next day. Mr.. SOrrell, who was
doing the driving, grabbed the tail
of one of the horses and saved him
self from injury.
The accident occurred in the dark
ness, which prevented the party from
realizing their danger until it was
too late to save the crash. There
are other parts on the road where a
accident would have landed
the occupants of the wagon more
than one hundred feet below.
The boys are all jollying about the
accident except Mr.. Backstein, who
will probably be laid up for repairs
several weeks.

became violently i'll, death relieving
her suffering within a couple of
hours.
Deceased was a bright little child
three years and nine months of age
and was loved by all who knew her
for her gentle disposition and loving
ways. She was the shining star of
her bereaved parents, whose grief is
consoled with the understanding that
little Esther is now in Heaven, where
parting is no more. The funeral &C.
Cured on Saturday afternoon and
interment took place in the Masonic
cemetery.
The ERA, together with the many
friends of the bereaved parents, ex-
tend to them deepest sympathy
