ONE DAY ONLY

These are the doctors you no
doubt have read about. While you
may not know them personally, you
may know them by reputation or
through some of your neighbors they
have treated.
The remarkable success of these
talented physicians in the treat
Hlent of chronic diseases has aroused
much enthusiasm in the Northwest.
This is said TO be, and no doubt
lists organization OF its kind in this
section of the country, and must
be q sue, ,ssful one from the many
gooa results they are getting.
The United Doctors. licensed by
TIE stale Of Colorado. for the treat
meur o. deformities and nervous
ana chronic diseases OF men. wo-
men ard children, offer to all who
call on item, consultation, exami-
nation and advice, free.
II is specially requested that mar
ried ladies' come with their hus-
bands, and minors with their par
ents.
The name. UNITED DOCTORS.
is what it implies to a union of
specialists twelve in number, that
have gotten together for the treat
ment of nervous and chronic dis
eases Not to be understood that
they treat all the diseases that the
human body is heir to. They mean
to be very careful in selecting and
taking cases as they want good re-
suits. which means good returns
in the way of their patients recon-
mending them to others.
They estimate that over eighty
per cent of the patients now COM
ing to them. come from recommen-
dations of those they have treated.
They do not treat any acute dis
eases whatever, their time and at
eases as follows:
Diseases of the stomach, intes-
tines, liver. blood. skin, nerves.
heart. spleen. kidneys or bladder,
rheumatism, sciatica, diabetes. bed
wetting. leg ulcers. weak lungs and
those afflicted with long standing
deep seated, chronic diseases. that
have baffled the skill of the family
physician, should not fail to call.
According to their system, no
more operations for appendicitis
gall stones. tumors or goiter. They
were among the first in America
to earn the name of "Blodless Sur
Eeons." by doing away with the
knife. with blood and with all pain
in the successful treatment of these
dangerous diseases.

ceiving attention. The wholesale gro
Gerry houses do a large business in Pc
COS. and travel a number of men out
of the city. Armour & Co. have a plant
here and do a general jobbing business
out of Pecos. Swift & Co maintain a
stock at Pecos. Pecos jobbing trade
exceeds $1,0OO.OOO annually.
Striking Figures.
Pecoss postoffice receipts have
shown a growth equal to about "a per-
cent during the year and the city is
now entitled to a federal building and
soon will be entitled to free city delivery,
or just SO soon as some street improve
ments are made which the federal gov
eminent requires. Pecos postal bust
ness now exceeds $4,000 per annum. 1t
will soon reach $4,000 per annum-
Pecos's railroad freight receipts are
extensive and exceed s350.000 per an
mum. This will be greatly increased in
the next few years.
Pecos does a large retail business
and her stores supply ranches at a
great distance. Her retail business has
probably increased so percent during
the past two years, though owing to
difficulty in securing retail trade sta
tisticS, it is not possible to gather &C
curate information covering this class
of Pecos's business. Many new retail
establishments have entered the city
during the past two years.
Pecos has one daily and two weekly
newspapers all three of which are
wide awake and progressive, with new
and modern equipment. In addition to
this, the FL. Paso Herald supplies Pc
cos with a daily news service, and
since The Herald reaches Pecos early in
the morning, its circulation is rapidly
growing 1t is the metropolitan paper
for the Pecos valley OF both Texas
and New Mexico.
Looking Forward.
1t has been four years now since the
real development along concrete lines
of the Pecos valley Of Texas began.
Much has been done. The record Is
brilliant one and one which the great
Lone Star state shall long cherish.
yet it is to the bigger. brighter and
better future that the Pecos valley is
looking, feeling sure that time shall
justify her most extravagant claims
and do for her what only must be
done There is yet vast work before

development she must have. 1t is yet

NO OPPOSITION
IS EXPECTED

Henry Daugherty, the town clerk of
Highlands. says that public opinion re-
garding the advisa bility of opening the
Ridge road TO a width of eighty feet
is changing and that there will be no
further opposition to the plan to widen
the street.
He says that the opposition of the
farmers was based on the belief that
the road was to be converted into
boulevard and that heavy traffic was
to be excluded from the street.
The people along the Ridge road are
anxious to have street car service as
soon possible and they do not want
street that would exclude this kind
of traffic.
As soon as the matter is thoroughly
understood it is not believed that there
will be any opposition to the plan to
widen the street The owners of prop
erty along the Ridge road appreciate
the interest that is being taken in this
thoroughfare and are being taught the
value of good roads.

ONE DANGER
DEATH TRAP
ABOLISHED

a. B. Dickson, the general agent of
the Erie railroad, was in Hammond to-
day, where he appeared before the
members of the board of public works
in regard to the elimination of the
death trap at the corners of Conkey av-
enue and Calumet avenue.
The board got Dickson to agree to
recommend to the company that it pay
one-half of the cost of paving the thir-
ty-foot street that it is proposed to
build across the corner of the Wallace
school property.
This assures the building of at least
one street that will divert two-thirds
of the traffic from the crossings Dick
son was fair enough to admit that the
company would probably be benefited
to such extent in diverting the
traffic that it would be warranted in
paying its share of the cost of the
street.
1t is unfortunate that the plans did
not call for wider street to meet the
future needs of the city. but in view OF
the fact that the school city owns the
property it will be possible to widen
the street when the demands of the
traff warrant it.
Township Trustee Becker said that
one of the Jarnecke boys promised to
take the matter up with his father
again. and that he would let him know
what his final decision is regarding the
donating of the strip.
If Larnecke refuses to donate the
necessary strip then a petition will be
filed and the necessary legal steps will
be taken to have the street opened any
way.

SALOON
men PAY
DEARLY

For a saloonkeeper to sell any guam
tityt of liquor beyond that specified
in his retail liquor license, is as-much.
of a violation as running a blind pig
IL he has not wholesale license. and
a number of Lake county saloonkeep
ers paid dearly for this information
before United States Commissioner
Charles Surprise in the Federal build
ing today.
The saIoonkeepers arrested and who
appeared before Commissioner Surprise
are:
Michael Stakes, 1919 Deodar street,
Indiana Harbor.
John Mravinac, s5o5 Deodar street.

Steve szerpetowski. $3.50 Guthrie

Anton Chorak. 2105 Jefferson street.

john Biskup, Gary.
Frank Ciesiekski, 1888 Jefferson

Fadlivic is arrested for not having
retail liquor license.
1t was said today that warrants for
about thirty-ive more liquor men
would probably be issued within the
next few days unless the saloonkeep-
ers, who have already been warned by
A. A. Phillips. the deputy revenue col
Iector. pay up Immediately.
Among the district officials who
were present today were Clarence w.
Nichols, assistant United States district
attorney; D. c. Rankin. deputy United
States marshal: T. E. Martin. deputy
United States marshal; A. A. Phillips,
deputy revenue collector; Dan Chaplin.
revenue agent.
License Cost $50 a Year.
Some of the saloonkeepers who ap-
peared before the United States COM
missioner today have had repeated
warning, and it was said today that
only the most fragrant violators were
brought in today.
A wholesale liquor license costs $50
year, and this amount the offendin z
saloonmen must pay and an additional
license money due.
The government does not want any
prosecutions in these license matters,
it being mainly after the money rather
than a punishment for the violators.
Most OF the saloonkeepers have been in
| picnics, weddings, etc, and this prac-
! tice is said TO be quite common
| throughout the county.
