OLD NAME GOOD ENOUGH.

There is some agitation at Yuma
to change the name of the town, and
Pat Sullivan, an old-timer Of Yuma
county, took his pen in hand few.
days ago and indited the following
protest:
'They want to call it TenderfoOt
Gulch or some such stuff and this
would not mean anything to anybody
The name was good enough in the
old days for health, wealth and pros
perity. Under it we fought, first the
Indians, and then the river. We
were here before the railroad or the
first bridge across the Colorado. We
were a town when this was the gate
to Arizona for the little steamboats,
that came up from the gulf with their
freight from San Diego. Our farms
amounted to nothing then and We
were glad to dredge a little gold
from the river bed at Potholes and
Laguna where the big dam is now.
The Indians who squatted around the
army post made nine-tenths of the
population
THAT was Yuma in the long ago
when men like Wilcox, Polhamus,
Meedan, Townsend, Godfrey and Dor
ington were first settling. 1t speaks
pretty well for the health Of the
towns pioneers are still here 1t isn't
because they aren't rich enough
to get away, either. They didn't de-
sire to leave. Just because, on the
California side, we have green farms
where once the arrow weeds tangled
in brakes the sand bars of the rivers
overflow, and because the Yuma val
ing farms where once lay white and
barren in the blazing sun, is no rea-
son why the name should be changed
to match our new prosperity. Under
the old name we worked and, waited,
matlIred our plans and ripened our
friendship, and under that name we
choose to live in the new days full
ness. We don't want the railroad
company or real estate boosters to
tack new name onto us simply be
cause people have laughed at Yuma
for being hot or because the change
in name might bring a few more peo-
pie who would have to be caught that
way"

First Success of the Wriqhts.

1t is now about ten years since the
first flight in a motor driven aero
plane by the Wright brothers. The
Wrights did not complete their petrol
engine until December, and it was
on the 18th of December, 1903, that
Wilbur flew 852 feet! That was only
ten years ago, but the Wrights main
tanned great secrecy about their ex-
periments until three or four years
later, and were regarded with much
incredulity.

and Smith, who were in the machine
both looped the loop and the auto
walked into the river.
With the assistance of Fred Heck

feet of rope, the auto was pulled out

Next Smith attempted to steer the
auto onto the ferry boat. The ma

was looking and after breaking down
trees, pulling up brush and tearing
one side of the ferry boat into kind

The gentlemen who spend much

year about split skirts and X-ray
gowns, skirtless bathing suits and
kindred subjects, remarks Women's

whether they have had more reason
for their shrill denunciation this year
than ordinarily. There are always
foolish extremes, no matter what the
fashions are. But their talk seems to

age women's clothes are as matter
Of fact more comfortable and more
hygienic and more truly decent every
year. One has only to think back to
the time when broadcloth trains were
de rigeur for walking, when volumin-
Gus plated skirts gathered dust in
every seam, when one shivered in ell
bow sleeves in winter and felt that a
high collar was necessary in summer.
There never was such comfortable
and inconspicuous style in tailored
clothes as the straight, scant coat and
skirt Of today, while the "corsetless

Coffee and the Heart.

Coffee affects the heart in much
the same manner as the nerve cen
ters. At first the heart is stimulat-
drug effects wear off, there is a cor
responding heart depression, and the
beat is less forceful than normal. The
blood pressure is raised by coffee,
which means that there is additional
strain put upon the arteries, but the
after effect is that the blood pressure
falls below normal.

Drug Effect of Coffee.

The effect of coffee is due mainly
to the caffeine which it contains, al
though it's volatile oils also play their
part i'll producing coffee-poisoning.
The effect of caffenie is felt by the
heart, the nervous system and the
kidneys. It's first effect upon the
nerve centers is to whip them into
unusual and injurious activity, with
a sense of brain eXhilaration such as
is produced by all stimulants. The
after effects of caffeine are nerve eX-
haustion, decreased muscular power
and mental depression all of which
are due to the exhaustion of the
nerve centerS
