ONE CASE OUT OF MANY TO PROVE OUR CLAIMS.

St. Anne, Ill.-"1 was passing through the change of life and 1 was a perfect wreck from female troubles. I had a displacement and bearing down pains, weak fainting spells, dizziness, then numb and cold feelings. Some times my feet and limbs were swollen. I was irregular and had so much backache and headache, was nervous, irritable and was Respondent. Sometimes my ap- petite was good but more often it was not. My kidneys troubled me at times and l could walk only short distance.
 q saw your advertisement in a paper and took Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound, and I was helped from the first. At the end of two months the swell ling had gone down, 1 was re- lieved of pain, and could walk with ease. 1 continued with the medicine and now 1 do almost all my housework. 1 know your medicine has saved me from the grave and 1 am willing for you to publish anything 1 write to you, for the good of others.

EXCAVATION IF
 WESTERN CANAL
Bids Will Be Received Un- til 2 p. m., Next Saturday. Its Building Will Assure Water Supply for 13,OOO Acres of Land.

Their contract with the government
 approved, the promoters of the wes-
 tern canal have prepared to receive
 bids on the digging of the extension. Contractors have been notified to make their bids on Saturday at D. I m. at the offices of the company. | The work of extending the old Wes- tern canal to include a large acreage south and west of the city is big enough to attract a number of con- tractors. Beside a number of local men. several outside firms have rep resentatiVes on the ground. R. H. TOohey and James Cashion, of the 1 Grant Brothers Construction com- pany, both of Los Angeles, and B G. Walker, of Fl Centro, California, are bidders.
 When completed. the canal will have added 421a miles to it's length and 13,000 acres of the best straight fruit orchard land to the list of irri-
 gated acreage in the valley. Better still, the land is close to the city, ad- jacent to that lying along the river
 bed at the south end of the Central avenue bridge It is already pretty well filled with homesteaders and flu ture orchardists. Its value to the
 real estate listing of the city is very large
 The canals and laterals are to be managed under a cooperative plan. By a contract with the government, the company in charge of the opera tion gets it's water from the govern
 ment, being credited by the money expended in building the canal and lateral system. The company is in corporated under the Arizona laws for s100,000 The officers are all Phoenix business men, H. O. WinsloW, president; Jesse Eyer, vice president; J. H. Wilson, secretary treasurer; A. Goldberg and Morris Carpenter, di- rectors.
 The history of the Western and Highline" canals is interesting as it shows the determination of certain farmers to become members of the
 water users of the Salt River valley. When the government canals were | built around the base af the noun l tains, they were not high enough to serve certain rich table land of eX- cellent orange grove possibilities. Then, too. they were too short to water land near the southwest boun- dary of the city, and just across the | river The land in the meantime has | been well settled, many occupants 1 being hOmesteaders. They realized | the richness of the region, and de l termned to get life water on it. For some time it was not possible to get 1 the reclamation service to allow the construction of private canal lines to 1 be served from the government ditches l passing Tempe. Finally after a long series of negotiations the company managed to get permission to let contracts, clean up the old ditch, ex- ] tend it and make what is to be known
 as the Highline system. The latter will be filled by pumping from a canal near the eastern end of the noun tains. and south of Tempe.
 | Now the contracts are to be let, it will not be long before there will be | dirt flying on the Western, and soon the valleys irrigated acreage will be
 increased by 13,OO0 acres of fat or | chard land

WILL QUARRY
 FINE ROCK
Barber Asphalt Paving Company Finds Ryolite at Tempe and Will Crush Foundation Using it for Paving Purposes.

| Second only in importance to the announcement that Phoenix is to have many more blocks of paved streets | is that of the opening by the Barber Asphalt Paving company of big stone quarry at Tempe. from which is already being taken high grade stone, suitable not only for street pay ing purposes but for building pur- poses as well. The formation of which the quarry is composed is known as rhyolite and contains about ten per cent lime.
 So impressed are the Barber peo- pie with the value of the rock and the ease with which it may be quarried, they have erected a crusher upon the spot and will cater to contractors and builders requiring stone for foun- dations and walls. They claim they will be able to furnish graded crushed stone at a much lower figure than the contractor can get river gravel and boulders and in just the sizes required. In addition they say the shipping of this rock from Tempe to the crushers they maintain in Phoenix will result in a material sav- ing over the plan they were formerly obliged to adopt.
 In the construction of buildings Phoenix architects are already speci- flying the new rock as it is possible to secure uniform strength and sta bility in the walls and foundation which cannot be obtained where sand and gravel is employed.
 The opening of this quarry and the placing of the stone on the market at this time is of importance in view of the tremendous building operations now in progress or contemplated. In August building permits to the num- Der of forty eight were issued repre- senting an outlay of $91, ,390. over 100000 bricks were used in building operations in August and the lumber yards report the largest sales of lum- Der during the past August than dur ing any previous August in the his tory of Phoenix. Many new school buildings have been erected in and near Phoenix during the past summer and there are at least six new build ings contemplated in the downtown district of Phoenix within the next few weeks.
 Superintendent Conway of the Bar Der Asphalt Paving company stated yesterday that his company already had about all the work it can do during the coming winter. Besides paving those portions of the down town streets left unpaved previously, Central avenue is to be paved north to the city line, west Washington is to be paved to the capitol and Jeffer- son street is to be paved east to Sev- enth street.
 It is likely that within a short time many other blocks in these districts will be signed up and that before the close of the winter months Phoenix will be enriched by several miles of paved streets.

@nze1z From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited
 by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound!

The "change of life" is most critical period in a woman's ex- istence, and the anxiety felt by women as it draws near is not without reason.
 When her system is in a de- ranged condition, she may be predisposed to apoplexy, or con- gestion of some organ At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work.
 Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, vari- able appetite, weakness and inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly needed by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life when woman's great change may be expected.
 These symptoms are calls from nature for help. The nerves are crying out for assistance and the cry should be needed in time.
 Lydia E. Pinkhanl's Vegetable Compound is prepared to meet the needs of women's system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system It has carried many women safely through this crisis.

BOOSTER BETS ON
 ALBUQUERQUE TRAIL
Hopes to Bring TrainIoad of People
 From that City to State Fair

A. A Betts. travelling passenger and freight agent for the Santa Fe left last night to cut a boosting swath north and east. He will go as far toward the rising sun as Al buquerqe New Mexico, where there will be a fair soon.
 It is MT. Betts' plan to engage a number of the good people of New Mexico and their festival visitors. to include the Phoenix fair in their trip. Then too, there are a number of new street attractions, shows and concessions to be secured at the Al buquerque fair, and Betts will look them over.
 Possibly an excursion will be ar ranged from the metropolis of the sister state to the first annual Arizona state fair It will add much to the attendance says Betts. to get train load or so of New MeXicans to come over for a visit. And it is just as much of a good thing for Arizona to be visited by neighbors on the east as by Californians, who are preparing to flock hitherWard in October.

SECRETS DIED WITH LAWYER
Aristocratic Clients Of the Late Sir
George Henry Lewis Are Re
iieved Of Apprehension.

When Sir George Henry Lewis. So
licitor, died recently in London at the
age of se~venty-eight years 1t was said
much apprehension was felt in aristo-
cratic society because of the ear that
after his death he might leave behind
him half a century or more of Me
moirs" which might give to the world
many delicate family matters with
which he had become professionally
acquainted. This apprehension has
proved to be ~unfounded and many
more or less noble and ~aristocratic
Brttons breathe more freely. Sir
George, who has left an estate valued
at R237,e15, says in his will that he
has left no memoirs and that all the
matters of a delicate nature that have
been confded to him will remain un-
diyulged, that he will reveal no conf
dences.
He has been called the Mr.. Tulking-
horn of his period, but the comparison
ugplied hardly held good, for the MT.

Sir: l have the honor to report as
to the part taken by the Third Iowa
cavalry in the expedition unoer Gen.
Sturgis. Approaching Brice's Cross
roads at IL a. M, this command vent
into line of battle by battalion on the
right of the main road, and soon after
the artillery opened in front. We then
advanced beyond Brice's about 500
yards. After forming in line with the
balance of the brigade the cavalry was
dismounted and the horses sent to the
rear. Soon after we became heavily
engaged with the enemy, and held
them in check for an hour. On the left
of our brigade the enemy was driven
back three different times. At this
juncture my whole command was re-
lieved by regiments Of infantry, and
was retiring when the infantry became
engaged. We formed a new line IN
their rear, rather han to appear to
leave them in al emergency.
THE contest lasted but a short time
after this, and the enemy was holly
pressing his victory, and we o o q
second position, mounted, to protect
the r%etreating column. A column of
squadrons was again formed facing
the enemy and retired by alternate
squadron, keeping the enemy in check.
We soon closed in, and rested at
Stubs plantation for the first time.
Our greatest difficulty was to cross
the swamp in u rear, and in it were
caught most of the artillery and train
of the army. Arriving at Stubs plan
tation, we rested from II p. m. to 2

Hot Weather Drink

Philip Hale, of Boston's latter
day philosophers, recommends barley
water as a more sensible drink for hot
weather than ''ice-cold" blends of wa
ters, sirups, acids gulped at the mar
BILE fountains. Mr.. Hale's recipe for
his favorite tipple Is as follows:
For three pints of water you Will
require a teacupful n a half Of well
washed pearl barley, four Jumps of
sugar and the thin rind and juice OF
one lemon. Pour boiling water over
1t, cover with a saucer and let 1t stand
till cold; then strain again and again
till clear, and pour into a Jug"
A buttermilk al adds:
Then set the jug in a cool place
and forget It,"
