In nearly every town and county the business is a cut throat game in which rivals en- deavor to do one another financial ly and study to deprive one an- other of business even at their own loss Many of the newspapers in Arizona were established for the express purpose of putting out Of business others already established and doing preCarious business in q limited field. Others have been launched and held up by special interests for the sake of influencing legislation, municipal management, etc., along lines desired by those interests. Such journals are always "bulls in china shops" cavorting about and smashing things regard less. Under such conditions men have such feeling against each other that they cannot fraternize and will not make the attempt. Consequently in all gatherings of Arizona newspaper men some of the ablest and best of the profession have been conspicuous by their absence. As result such Arizona Press Associations have started al- ways limited in membership, when they should have embraced the entire body of the profession; and of those who did attend fully one- half failed to observe the agreements made in the association.
 To be effective a newspaper as- sociation should embrace all the newspapers in a state. It should be constituted and its members pledged to work along certain lines. It should compass a thorough un- derstanding with regard to many details of the business, which under standing should be adhered to reli- giously by all. Without being planned and conducted upon lines herein presented no such organiza- tion can survive long. And the one now created by part of the profession will go shortly the way of all the rest.

A MESSAGE
To Feeble Old People.

AS one grows old the waste OF the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than in youth, the Cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil, is the ideal
strengthener and body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting It's
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys-
TEN against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grandneice of Alexander Hamil-
ton, over eighty years of age, once
remarked: "Vinol is godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol, have 8
hearty appetite, sleep sotNdly, feel
active and we'll. 1t is the finest tonic
and strength-creator I have ever
used"
If Vinol fails to build up the
feeble old people, and create
strength, we will return your money.

EXPLOSION SCA1TERS DEATH
TWELVE MEN ARE KILLED BY
THE EXPLOSION OF DRY
STARCH.
Twenty. Seven Injured by the Explo'
sion, Some Of Whom VIII
Doubtless Die.

Waukegan, Ill.-An explosion which
wrecked the dry starch house of the
Corn Products company's plant killed
twelve workmen, injured q others,
several of whom will die, and caused
about one hundred thousand dollars
damages.
Nearly all of the workmen killed or
injured were Polish, Lithuanian or
Austrian, and they were on the com
pany's payroll by numbers, and not
by names. This further increased the
difficulties met by the coroner in his
efforts to arrive at correct death
list.
The explosion tore the two story
frame top house from the five-story
building, and scattered bits OF 1t for
so yards in all directions. The body
of one man killed was blown across
the Chicago and Northwestern railroad
right of way onto the hillside in Oak
wood cemetery.
All of the injured were coated with
starch, which had to be washed off be-
fore surgeons could treat their injrl'
ries. Private automobiles were press,
ed into service to carry the injured to
the hospital.
Martin Slater of Peoria, H., assist,
ant superintendent of the plant was
among those killed. Slater was being
/ trained to take charge of the Corn
Products company's new plant at Pc
kin, Ill.
Officials of the company said they
had been unable to arrive at a decis'
ion as to the cause of the explosion.
Workmen at the plant thought it was
due to overheating of the product in
the large starch kilns. An investiga'
ton was begun.
Volunteer nurses aided the regular
staff at the hospital where the iniur'
ed were cared for. Among the volun.
teers were a number of young society
! women of Waukegan.
