JOINT STATEHOOD FOLKS
NOT WITHOUT HOPE
THEY SEE POSSIBILITIES IN A
MIx-UP.
Remnants of the Old Guard Suspicious
ly Active.

General Thomas F>Wilson of Tucson
was one of the foremost advocates OF
Joint statehood with New Mexico. Cen
eral Wilson was quoted as saying the
other day in the course of a CONVERSE
tion that things might 50 turn out in
the miX-up at Washington when the
constitutions of the two territories get
there together that the dream of/the
joint statehood people will yet be
realized.
Also General Wilson is outwardly for
the proposed constitution of Arizona.
The other night he took a prominent
part in a meeting at Tucson at which
the other speakers were Mark Smith
and G. w. p. Hunt, of neither of whom
General Wilson has ever been en-
amored.
Neither. according to his public ut =
terances, is General Wilson enamored
of the constitution for he is STRONGLY
conservative, but he publicly said (and
not in private conversation that if il
received a heavy enough vote he be-
lieved it would be approved at Wash
ington. The impression at Tucson is
that General Wilson. to whom the con-
does not conceal his disgust-is really
trying to cOmplicate matters so that
| joint statehood will come out of the
wash.
1t is further recalled that Colonel
Allen I. Bird of Nogales was not less
active than General Wilson for joint
statehood; it is also recalled that Col
onel Bird before the campaign of last
summer was begun was against all
those isms which have now made the
constitution impossible Yet, before
the campaign was well under way, he
was supporting them.
Furthermore. a Phoenix newspaper,
the craziest and loudest of all the advo-
Gates of the proposed constitution, tried
to sell itself to the joint statehood
committee at the beginning of that
memorable campaign. There was no
deal and later the paper in difference

Do You Enjoy Your Mea|s7
One of the Most Important Questions to
Consider in the Search for
Happiness and Health.


The burning question to you is, Are
you getting out of life all the pleasure
and the health you are entitled to-" II
not. why not?
No matter whether every organ and
.member of your body is i'm sound
state of health and strength, if your
stomach is i'm any way disordered you
are not going to be yourself" You are
going to be a worried, ut-of- sorts,
nervous or sullen individual. whose ac-
tions will reflect your condition inside
and people will naturally avoid you.
The world wants TO smile and be
cheerful, and unless you are cheerful
and smile. at least, occasionally, you
will have few friends. fewer opportuni-
ties, no success. and you will go down
in defeat-defeated by dyspepsia and a
bad stomach.
A good and thorough digestion has a
quick, wonderful reaction upon the
brain. You must have noticed it many
times. for the brain and stomach are
as intimately connected rs a needle and
its thread. one can hardly be used to
advantage without the other. If your
stomach is slow and lazy in digest
ing your food. it will produce at once a
slow. lazy and cloudy influence upon
your brain Mark it, If your stomach
has absolutely quit work, and fermen-
tation is poisoning your vitals as a re-
suit, surely your brain is going to be
sluggish and correspondingly depressed.
No one need tell YOU that
But why continue to suffer all
the miseries and torments that a disor-
dered stomach brings you?
If your stomach can not digest your
food. what will? Where's the relief?
Where's the cure
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
relief and the cure. Why? Because,
as all stomach troubles arise from in
digestion and because one ingredient of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is able
to thoroughly and completely digest
5000 grains of any kind OF food,
doesn't it stand % reason that these
little Dyspepsia Tablets are going to
digest all the food and whatever food
You put into your stomach? Science
nowadays can digest food without hav-
ing to use the stomach for it, And
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the re-
suit of this scientific discovery They
digest and digest thoroughly and well.

So, if your stomach refuses to work
or can't work, and you suffer from
eructations, blOat brash, fermen alton,
biliousness. sour stomach. heartburn.
Irritation, Indigestion, or dyspepsia of
whatever form, just take one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and see
the difference. 1t doesn't cost you
much to prove it. Then YOU can eat
all you want. what you want, when
ever you want. if you use these tab
