Fresh proof is furnished almost
daily OF the wonderful power OF DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
in the treatment OF the most severe
nervous disorders. No claim Is made
for the treatment that is not substan.
tiated by proof that is open to the
most rigid investigation and the evil
denoe is indisputable that there are
many forms OF paralysis that are
readily durable by these tonic pills.
In cases that are not entirely durable
the use OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills
often results In such radical improve
ment that life is once more made
worth living to the formerly hope
less sufferer
The evidence upon which the
claims Of this remedy Is based Is not
confined to single cure. All over
the United States there are men and
women going about their daily oc-
equations with little or no inconven-
fence. who. before taking the treat
ment, had been declared beyond the
help OF medicine. No sufferer from
severe nervous disorder who has
not tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills
should abandon hope, for the remedy
that has brought about these marvel
GUS results for others Is surely en-
titled to a thorough trial.
The Latest Evidence.
The most recent case to come TO
public attention is that of Mr.. d. l..
Lucas, of No. 2183 East 103rd street.
Cleveland, Ohio, a man we'll known
in real estate circles In that city. He
had a remarkable escape from death
as Is shown by the following state
ment:
my trouble started with stomach
disorder, but / believe that malarial
poisoning was the original cause and
this was the opinion of the doctors
who attended me. Creeping paralysis
finally resulted from the broken down
of my health and came
very near to death. During the
greater part Of my sickness l could
get about the house by holding on to
articles of furniture but at times was
confined to my bed.
Limbs Were shrunken.
THE paralysis came on slowly but
was never complete. had trouble
with my kidneys and my liver was
torpid all the time. My lower limbs
shrunk perceptibly, I suffered some
with shooting pains, my appetite was
feeble and ! was altogether in ter
rible condition.

QUALIFICATIONS Of
SUPER|NTENDENTS
Will Have Tendency to Keep Out
Many Aspirauts
MUST BE EDUCATED
In CERTAIN BRANCHES
Must Have Taught One Year In
Public Schools.

AT a recent meeting Of the
territorial board of education
that body took action regarding
the qualifications of school su-
perintendents that will put the
"kibosh" on many aspirants for
that most important office.
While there has been no change
in the law concerning such quail
itication, it was only at the last
meeting of the board Of educa-
tion that that body defined the
meaning of the law which is now
established and must be con-
formed with Among other
things contained in the report of
the meeting is the following:
The board took action regard
ing the certitication of county
superintendents as required by
the laws of 1907 and 1909, and
specified that any person to be
eligible to the office of county
superintendent of schools under
the provisions of these acts
must show that he or she has
been educated in the following
branches: reading, penmanship,
orthography, English grammar
and composition), geography,
arithmetic, physiology and Unit
ed States history. The express
sion practical experiences IN
those branches taught in the
public schools" as found in the
law was interpreted by the board
to mean that the candidate must
have had at least one years ex-
perience in teaching in the pub
lie schools or have experience in
supervising such schools Sierra

METHODIST CONFERENCE
At ALBUQUERQUE
Big Meeting Opens First Session
Today for Business
REV. ED LeBRETON
WENT YESTERDAY
Will Ask to Have 1912 Confer
ence Held in Alamogordo

The annual NJ. +. conference
opened its first session today at
Albuquerque for the regular
business and appointment of pas
tors to the different charges.
Rev. Ed. lie Breton, pastor of
the local Grace NJ. Z church,
delivered his farewell sermon
for the conference year, Sunday
evening and yesterday left for
Albuquerque. The past year
has been one Of the most sue
cessful in the history of the
church and much of the success is
due to the harmonious relations
between pastor and congrega-
tion. Both have labored ear
nestly and faithfully for the best
results and they have surely
been attained. The church was
never in a better condition both
spiritually and financially.
Rev. Ed. lie Breton goes to
conference with, we believe. the
unanimous wish of the church
mem bership for his return for
another year.
After the morning service
Sunday vote was taken to
learn the sentiment of the men,
bers in regard TO the entertain
ment Of the NJ. Z. conference at
Alamogordo next year. The vote
was unanimous in favor of the
movement, aud as result Rev.
lie Breton will ask this august
body to meet with us in 1912.
Should We succeed in getting
this big meeting, it will mean
much to the church and the
town. The visiting ministers
would number between 90 and 10.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY
IS FIXED BY GOVERNOR
Proclamation Issued Setting 0c-

GREAT ANNUAL LOSS
BY FIRE is SERIOUS
Every Citizen Should Cooperate
and "Slick" Things Up

Santa Fe, n. NJ, Sept. 23.-
Governor William J. Mills today
issued a proclamation naming u
fire prevention day" in which
he calls attention to the enor-
nous loss caused by fires in New
Mexico and which he attributes
largely to carlessness. The proc
lamation is one which will
doubtless arouse keen interest
throughout the territory. The
proclamation reads:
The great annual loss of life
and property by fire in this
country is one that should COM
mand the serious attention of
our citizens. The per capita loss
in New Mexico during the past
year man, woman and child
within our borders. The chief
factor responsible for this loss is
carelessness and the utter lack
of personal RESPONSE bility in the
removal of causes productive of
| fires.
In order that this matter may
be properly brought to the at
tention of our people, l do here
by appoint, Monday, October o,
1911, to be Fire Prevention Day,
and l urgently recommend that
property owners on said day give
personal attention to the remov-
al of rubbish and debris from
their premises; that conditions
that bring about fires be exam
med into and remedied; that

Carload of Honey Worth Sc, 900
Shipped from Artesia

Shipped from ArteSia
This week l.. A. Highsmith,
whose honey we have had occa-
sion to mention before in The
News, began to load a car of the
finest honey on earth for ship
ment to Kansas City. There is
good money in honey. 1t nets
the shippers II cents per pound,
f. o. b. Artesia, and the cars hold
$4,000 pounds. That means six
thousand dollars brought into
the Pecos valley IN one fell
swoop.
K. g. Baron of Hagerman also
loaded into this car, as of course
it would be impossible for one
apiary to furnish that much
honey this year, besides ne has
sold a lot at home, and his ex-
perience proves that the Middle
valley is one Of the best places
in the west to keep bees and
make money on their product.
The Pecas valley honey is a
much better grade than the av-
erage offered for sale on the
eastern market. The alfalfa
flowers furnish a large amount
of the material for Pecos valley
honey and the little blue bios
som seems to give it a peculiar
flavor ell its own.-Pecos Valley
