Poor Charities.

NthThere are charity societies, as all
the. world knows, that only give to the
poor q quarter or a half cent of every
<dollar they take in, most Of their sub
scriptions going for salaries to off.
GERS and Investigators for expensive
rentals, etc.
Richard March, the charity expert
Of Denver, Colo, was condemning
these charities. He said:
"a mans wife shouted up to him
the other day:
Don't you think this blue over
coat with the strapped-in back is too
new and fashionable, George, to give
away?'
Its the agent Of the Alpha lncor-
porated Charities that's at the door,
isn't it?'
Eyes, dear
"'Then let the coat co. said George.
It'll be old enough and old-fashioned
enough before it gets to the poor dub
that is shivering for it now"

Had to Be Careful.

An old man who had led a sinful life
was dying, and his wife sent for a
nearby preacher to pray with him.
The preacher spent some time pray
ing and talking, and finally the old
mar said: What do you want me to
do, parson?"
"Renounce the devil! Renounce the
DEVIL" replied the preacher.
We'll, but parson," protested the
dying man, 81 amt in position to make

What is WOmGn'S
Beauty but Health?
And fhe Basis of Her Heath and
Tigor Lies in fhe Careful Reg
uIdnon of fhe BoGCeLS.

e@htC ~ 49,
If woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be a
picture of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that, 1t lies in health. in
the majority of cases the basis OF
health, and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the l%assitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
and they do not exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may be
It is important that the condition
should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
Q%uirements. is DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women en-
dorse highly, among them Mrs. c. s,
Vance, of 511 S. Ray St, New Castle.
Pa. At times she had spells Of indi-
gestion SO severe that she thought she
would die. Syrup Pepsin regulated her
stomach and bowels, and she attrib-
utes her excellent health today to this
remedy.
All the family can use DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of moth
ers give 1t to babies and children. 1t
is also admirably suited to the require
ments Of elderly people. in fact to all

THE WRONG GALLERIES

The story of Senator Ashurst'S futile effort to get into the limelight by talk ing advantage of the audience which had assembled in the senate galleries to hear Senator Bailey's swan song, is told in few brief lines in the press of the country.
 At the conclusion of Bailey's speech Ashurst immediately secured recogni- tion, warmly defending Hearst and speaking in favor of the operation of the initiative and referendum in Ari- zona.
 The people began to file out of the galleries and most of the representa- tiyes and senators who had listened for four hours also retired The pre-. siding officer asked Senator Ashurst to suspend while he tried to restore order, but the Arizona senator said he did not want order
 "The chair will restore order whether the senator from Arizona de- Sires it or not" snapped MT. Calling CT, who was presiding.
 This action of Ashurst is haranguing a dispersing audience in the United States senate is typical of the man. His flowery line of talk will not hold a crowd at the capital. Ashurst can talk to the galleries all right but not to the galleries of the United States senate.
 How much better if Arizona could have a representative of deeds in stead of words in that body! Tucson Citizen.

kO CHANGE IN NATIONAL ORANGE SHOW
 PLANS
GROWERS TO MAKE EXHIBITS IN SPITE OF ADVERSE MEATH.
 FER OF PAST WEEK

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 1O.-After listening to reports from almost every fruit-growing district in this part of the state, the executive committee of the third National Orange Show unan- imously agreed that there will be not be the slightest deviation from the plans for the show as originally out lined. The show will be held, larger and more beautiful than ever, in this city, February IT to 22.
 There is an abundance of the finest fruit in every district yet available for making exhibits. in spite of the ad- verse weather conditions of the past few days. Not single cancellation of space has been made and on the contrary many sections have already sent in word that they will be on hand with even a better display than they had originally planned to make.
 Following the report that the fruit men are standing ,solidly behind the show, the committees have taken up their work with renewed energy and San Bernardino and the fruit growers will demonstrate to the world that they are equal to any emergency, and will make the third National Orange Show worthy of the great citrus indus try which is represents.
 The great fruit exhibit tent, built for the National Orange Show, is now enroute from the manu facturers, and the indications are that. every foot of space in the two great tents will be occupied by exhibitors.

ARIZONA COUNTY ASSESSORS
 ARE IN ANNUAL CONVENTION

The session of the Arizona County Assessors, which opened in Yuma yes terday afternoon, has thus far proven very interesting, and if the assessors find it possible to put into execution few changes in our present system of assessment it will prove of very great interest to considerable num- Der of taxpayers, particularly that lass which is best able to pay just share of the taxes, but, by evasion, or flaws in the present laws, pays but I comparatively small sum, while thc man with small farm, or town lot or two, pays the limit
 The large mining companies are the most persistent, and the foreign stock holders, in many instances, rcv nfore income tax in England on their Ari- zona incomes than they pay taxes on their Arizona properties.
 To correct these evils is the logical aim of the meeting of assessors and, eventually, it will be done because the people are seeing the light" and change must result.
 The assessment of all property at its market value is being considered, 2 natural result of which would mean a reduction of the tax rate to one-half or one-fourth of what it is now, and would place Arizona in a favorable light before the investors of the world
 With the valuation of Yuma county doubled and the rate reduced to 11a or cents on a dollars worth of prop

FL CENTO, Jan. 10.-At the meet ing yesterday the Board of Supervisors voted, on roll call, to unanimously pass the account of the money expended on the Holtville- Yuma road, amounting to $3,500, to the general fund and to take the charge from the Holtville road district.
 This money was expended under the direction of Supervisor Boyd in an eff fort to show the world that real route existed across the sand hills to Yuma. He maintains that the racr was proven since the Yuma convention last Saturday adopted the route for the National Highway. MT. Boyd had but the action of the Yuma convention had its effect and he was allowed the reimbursement on the ground that it was made for the benefit of the whole country rather than for his district alone

o 10000 ooot 9 THE WAYS OF A WOMAN o OCOOo 900

You may boast of lovely womankind
 and sing aloud her praise, And remark her cheery manner and
 her optimistic ways, But a woman is a woman-hard to
 fathOm as the sky! She can do a dozen women's work and never bat an eye. But she can't be optimistic in faded
 summer hat When the frost is on the window and
 the rent is on the flati' She will soothe your wounded feelings
 and assuage your sudden fright When a flock of ghostly butcher bills
 jumps out at you at night. She may be as bold and fearless as
 a lion full of roar When your purse is like fritter and
 and the wolf is at the door; Still, she can't endure the torture Of
 that faded summer hat When the frost is on the window and
 the rent is on the flat. Yea, the ways of subtle woman arc unsearchable and strange, And her sunny disposition is suscepti- ble to change; She can be as sad and silent as 8 doughnut on a plate; Sigh and seek her quiet chamber in melancholy state, Then rush on you like a sunburst in a forty-dollar hat Hang the frost that's on the window! Hang the rent that's on the flat!

SAN DIEGO'S POPULATION 9o,ooO
 SAYS STATISTIcIAN

In recent issue of The Examiner the population of Son Diego was, in cidentally, mentioned as being about S0,000. The new estimate is based upon the calculations of Hugo Grosser, statistician, as published in the San Diego Survey and Exposition News.
 MT. Grosser finds that the building operations, allowing a per capita of $115-the highest in the United States indicate population of S0,4S2; the number of water-taps, allowing ITS individuals to each meter, whereas the standard is 6.5, a population of 80,899; the ratio of persons to each gas meter, placing the estimate twen- ty per cent below the lowest used in any other part of the country, a popu- lation of S0,310; the ratio of individu- als to each electric light meter, plac- ing the estimate twenty-five per cent below the lowest used elsewhere, a population of 8O,50O; the number of telephones, granting a reduction of twenty per cent. below the standard, a population of S0,568.
 From these estimates, MT Grosser deduces the conclusion that the popu- lation of San Diego is not less than S0,00O.

LAND IN BUCKEYE VALLEY WILL BE, DRAINED AND PLACED
 UNDER IRRIGATION

PHOENIX, Jan. 1O.-Four thousand acres of land in the Buckeye valley will be drained and placed under irri- gation as soon asethe available supply of water is increased by the construc ton of new supply ditch. This ditch will extend from the present head of the Buckeye canal 3e miles up the Agua Fria. and will cost approximate ly $4O,OOO.
 :. At present 16,O00- acres of Buckeye Valley land are under cultivation. Ex- cept for a period of about 60 days in the summer, there is ample water to irrigate the entire 10000 acres. Dur ing that 50, days, however about 2,OOO inches, in addition to the supply avail able with the present dam and canal, is required.
 Last summer the directors of the Buckeye Irrigation Company made an appropriation for the purpose of in vestigating the development of an ad- ditional water supply, in order that stock for the other 4,O00 acres might be sold and that land added to the cultivated area of the valley.

WOMEN SHOW DISCRIMINATION

Despite the fact that Arizona has allowed the better and fairer sex to cast vote has caused some publica- tions of the Southwest, particularly the Ell Paso Times, to throw, fit after fit over the hoop-skirted politics of this state, the first election held under the new system, that at Prescott, fails to show basis for the fears that have been expressed. In fact, the women showed themselves to be discrim- mating in their balloting. The only woman candidate in the field was beaten by an overwhelming majority. One Republican, the only one running, was elected, while the rest of the city ticket is made up of Democrats. This shows conclusively that the women are not voting bIindly. They are not following the precepts of husbands or fathers, but are thinking for them selves.
 Of the total of 92O votes cast, 265 were by women
 The equal suffrage amendment has placed new element in Arizona poll tics which will have to be reckoned with in the future. Just how it will vote none can say. The Examiner is willing to declare positively, however, that the women, if they continue to show sU"h good sense and discrimina- tion in their future balloting as in this, the first chance offered, will work
