Cured Him

An elderly man once consulted an eminent physician about stom- ach complaints, but there was a formidable obstacle to diagnosis in the patients being quite deaf.
 "What do you have for dinner?" roared the doctor into his right ear,
 "Oh TO, was the reply; plenty of that two miles regularly after breakfsast and two more after dinner"
 How long do you lie abed of a morniug'"
 Well, doctor l shall be sixty nine this day three weeks"
 Without further barley h e doctor gave him some simple prescription. At the door the man turned around and, in the loud, rattling tones of one very deaf, called out;
 Doctor, can you cure deaf ness?"
 The doctor shook his head, and made his lips express "No."
 II thought so; you've been very kind to me. Therefore 1 make you welcome to this prescription, !" which he pulled from his pocket, adding, "it cured mel"

Paul s. Coffin For Recorder

Paul s. Coffin, the republican candidate for County Recorder, is a clean young business man who entered the race for the office at the solicitation of his friends.
 There are few young men better known in this section of the county who are better able to fill this difficult position. He has been a resident of Flagstaff number of years and has made many friends who will boost for him until the pools are closed December I2th. He is worthy of the support of the people and will certainly deliver the goods when elected. He has never held an elective office in the county and few people have a better claim to the important office of Recorder than Paul s. Coffin.

The November Woman's Home Com.
 panion

The November Woman's Home Companion contains an article by President Taft of interest and inn portance to every woman. It IS an appeal to the woman of our country to help the President in his efforts to get the Senate to assent to the arbitration treaties, which, if signed, will go a long way toward abolishing war. It would be a great achievement, and the President believes that women can help bring it to pass.
 Aside from this very important feature the November Companion contains mass of good reading, beautiful illustrations and useful suggestions. Notable fiction is contributed by Josephine Das- kam Bacon, Jeffery Farnol (author of The Broad Highway"), Zuna Gale and Mary E. Wilkins Free man. Several special articles of unsual interest are included, among them articles on "Julia Marlowe's Greatest Roles," Experiments in Spending" "The Moving Pic ture Show in Your Town" and Kate Greenaway" (including a full-page color reproduction of an unpublished water-color by this most famous painter of child life)
 The great housekeeping, home decoration, household and fashion departments are, as always, filled with entertaining material, of time-saving and money-saving value to women. At this time of year special mention should be made of the fashion pages, which under the able direction of Grace Margaret Gould, the well-known fashon authority, are a veritable directory of good, economical and yet fashionable ideas for women readers.

Interest in the dramatic and musical attraction to be given next Monday night Oct. goth at the new Opera house, for the benefit of the new Catholic school continues to grow and the com mittee in charge is much encour- aged:
