of mining claims in the Organ noun
tain mining district. has fine garden
at the foot Of the mountains, about
1S miles east of Las Cruces. He has

Organ mountain district, has taken up
a homestead of 100 acres just west Of
the Bennett StephensOn mine, about u
miles east of Las Cruces He has the
entire tract under fence and is plant
ing a variety Of crops.
Mr.. Rose does not use the shallow
cultivation or mulching methods, but
depends simply upon the rainfall nat
ural to that section of the country.
His success demonstrates that>the mesa
and foothill lands can be made profit
able, even under present conditions.

A Few 'CaScaretS'
Cure Constipation
Pleasant, gentle, though the most eff
fective remedy in the world for
sluggish bowels or a lazy liver

In the old days physic was dreadful
-calomel, castor oil, salts or cathar-
tics. And they were worse than they
seemed. for they irritated the stomach
and bowels. They acted much as pep
per acts in the nostrils. They flooded
the bowels with fluids But those
fluids were digestive juices. And a
waste today means a lack tomorrow.
You secured relief, but you were ac-
tually worse off than without 1t.
It's different with Cascarets. Their
effect is the same as that OF laxative
foods, or Of exercise. They stimu1ato
the bowels to natural action. No grin.
ing. They act as a bowel tonic.
The old way. too, was to take large
doses of physic- People waited until
the bowels were elogged The new way
is to take one Cascaret when you need
It. Carry the box in your pocket or
purse. Ward off the troubles instant
ly The modern plan is to keep at your
best The old way wasted too many
good hours. Get a 10 cent box Of Cas-
carets now.

HEALTHY
MOTHERS

Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems in advance OF baby's
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature IN its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-
mands made upon it, and she is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is so truly
help to nature as Mothers Friend,
and no expectant mother should fail
to use it. 1t relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligarnents, makes plant and elias
tic those hbres and muscles which
nature IS expanding, prevents numb
ness of limbs, and soothes the infarn-
nation of breast glands. The system
being thus prepared by Mothers
Friend dispels the fear that the crisis
may not be safely met. Mothers
Friend assures a speedy and complete
recovery for the mother, and she is
left healthy woman to enjoy the

STATES HIS OBJECTIONS
TO A SANE FOURTH

To the Editor of THE TIMES:

BRADLEY THEATER
WILL Be DEVOTED
TO AIDING CHARITY
Washington Society Is Ex-
pected to Largely Pat
ronize Project.

Charity, II was learned today, was
the motive which induced the Edison
Bradleys to build the magnificent pro-
vate theater now in course of construc-
ton as an addition TO their paIatial resi-
dence, south of Dupont circle. When
completed. the theater will be one Of
the largest and handsomest private
playhouses in the country. and almost
the sole use to which it will be put Will
be entertainments for charitable .pur-
poses.
The idea originated with Mrs. Brad
ley several months ago, and when she
unfolded her plans to her husband he
became enthusiastic over the scheme.
Mrs. Bradley believes that theater Of
this kind for the elite Of Washington,
sponsored by social leaders, will be a
means of raising a considerable sum
every year for charity.
The Bradleys will pay whatever ex-
penses are incurred in running and
maintaining the playhouse. Mrs. Brad
ley told several of her friends about her
plans and they all assured her that the
project would have the support OF
Washingtons Four Hundred, and that
they would vouch for its success.
The theater building will be 155 feet
in length and nine-five feet wide. 1t is
directly south of the Bradley home and
will be Joined to the main building by a
passageway through a conservatory ad-
joining the antique shrine room.
The interior decorations will be strik-
ing. The woodwork will be of cypress.
The statues and other interior decora-
tive pieces will be from the Bradley
collection, picked up in travels all over
the world.

ENFORCING THE SUNDAY
LIQUOR LAW.

Mrs. Mary E. Carroll, trained nurse
of Washington, charges that liquor is
sold here at drug stores on Sunday
Commissioner Rudolph, chairman of
the board, says if anybody will give
the Commissioners the slightest definite
information upon which to proceed they
will stop it. In statement on the
question, Mrs. Carroll is quoted as
follows:
The Sunday violators are confined to
certain localities in this city. The sales
are made without physicians prescrip-
nary belief. In my professional ca
pacity l have indisputable proof. sup
piled by personal observation.
Commissioner Rudolph comes back
with this:
The Board Of Commissioners is anx-
ious that violations of the law be found
at once, and that those who are guilty
shall be punished without delay. Mani
testify 1t is absurd to send a force of
detectives blindly out to seek Sunday
violations when they have nothing but
suspicion to work on. If any person
will give the Commissioners data sus-
tanning the assertion that liquor is
Illegally sold, an investigation will be
started within an hour.
Considering the facts which Mrs.
Carroll apparently has in her posses
sion and the willingness of the Com
missioners to act on them, there should
not be much difficulty in determining
the extent of the violations of the
Sunday liquor law and obtaining con-
viction of offenders.
1t has been pretty thoroughly estab-
lished- that the Washington Police De-
partment is doing all in its power to
prevent Sunday sales of liquor, but it
is also recognized that the number of
policemen on the force is not sufficient
to enforce absolute compliance with
the lawn If Mrs. Carroll and others
who have knowledge of specific viola
tions would place their information in
the hands of the Commissioners of
lenses would be much less frequent.

THE PATH TO REFORM
LIES THROUGH REPEAL
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
The principle enunciated by Senator
Works that this city belongs to the
whole United States is very gratifying
and disposes at once Of the claim of
some that the city should bear the
whole burden of Improvement,
Nevertheless, though the United States
mas complete Jurisdiction, 1t should
legislate for the District on the prin-
ciple laid down by Blackstone:
I'm proportion to the (criminaD law,
ought also to be the care and attention
of the legislature in properly framing
and enforcing 1t. 1t should be founded
upon principles that are permanent and
uniform and universal, and always con-
formable to the dictates of truth and
justice, the feeling of humanity and
the undeniable rights of mankind"
The deciation from this principle here
tofore has led us into the labyrinth de-
picted by Hallam in his constitutional
history of England:
Our statutes have been growing In
bulk and multiplicity, all Astounding In
prohibitions and penalties, which every
man is presumed to know, but which no
man, the judges themselves included,
can really know with much exactness.
We literally, walk amidst the snares
and pitfalls of the law. The very doc
trine of the more rigid casuists, that
men are in conscience bound to observe
all the laws of their country. has be-
come impracticable through their COM
plexlty and Inconvenience, and most of
US are, content to shift, off their PEN
alties in the mala prohibita with as
little Scruple as some feel in risking
thase of graver offenses."
Men have no respect for laws that
invade their natural rights, and the
multiplicity Of and complexity of the
laws serve to explain the failure to
execute them.
Robert G. Ingersoll was everlastingiy
right when he declared the path to re-
form lies through repeal. II.
