Come straight this place;

YOU CAN'T EAT
 APPETITE POOR

Multitudes of people lose their appetite. Simply don't care for any thing to eat. The dinner bell has no interest to them. They loathe their breakfast. They may nibble a little of this and a little of that, but they do not care for it.
 Lunch has lost all of its charms, although they try to eat something.
 Dinner about the same.
 There is something positively wrong, of course, but no disease that can be named. Just out of sorts That is all
 It is in this kind of a condition that Peruna acts very beneficially.
 After using Peruna, interest in food is revived. Beginning with a tea spoonful of Peruna before each meal will generally quickly improve the appetite and help the digestion.
 Thousands of people can testify to this. Liberated from a slavery that is almost unbearable. The slavery of having no interest in life. All used up. Yet one does not know exactly why. Take Peruna before each meal. Skies will get blue again. Fields will look green once more and life will be pleasant. You will feel that you are good for something and the world is a good place to live in. Peruna will do it. Not as an artificial stim- ulant. Simply a tonic that stimulates appetite in a natural way.
 Those who object to liquid medi- cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

MERELY PSYCHOLOGICAL"

When a group of officers and mem bers of different manufacturers asso- citation called upon President Wilson the other day and urged him to let up on his trust legislation program because of the distressing business condition throughou tthe country, the president replied that while he was aware of the depression of business there was abundant evidence that it was merely psychological; that there s no material condition or substan- tial reason why the business of the country should not be in the most prosperous and expanding conditions" "
 The New York Sun comments on this statement of President Wilson in the following editorial:
 A DIALOGUE AT THE DOOR
 Citizen Outofwork, hat in hand, ac- costed the Professor as he came out of Candid House: q have a wife and four small children"
 "Ycu only think you have" said the Professor; your state is merely psy- cological."
 q haven't had any work for six months, since the factory"
 'Fie," cried the Professor, taking off his eyeglasses and waving them n a wide gesture of deprecation; don't you know that non-employment merely psychological"
 My wife and children are actually hungry-"
 Nonsense, my dear sir; hunger is merely psychological"
 My brother has just been fired by the X. Y. & z. railroad; the rail road people said they had to reduce expenses"
 How ridiculous; expenses of rail pads are merely psychological. So IS your brothers discharge
 Professor, will you lend me a dol lar? When better times-''
 This is most unbecoming language What times could be better than these? Times are merely. psychologi cal. So is your assumed need of a | dollar. Learn to know the need of mankind and to find that need h yourself. Does mankind need money Do you need money Then find the money in yourself. Everything but Colonel House and my Mexican policy Is merely psychological Money to a victim of the merely psychological state called out of a job? Goodbye I wish you more psychology and 8 better frame of mind"

HE NEVER SPOKE AGAIN

The following story is told of a ven triloquist, now famous, but at the time of this incident he was so poor that he used to walk between the places where he was to appear. On one of these tours he picked up a miserable little dog because it looked so much like he felt. The story will explain what became of the dog:
 The first house he came to was an inn, and of course, he wanted a drink He had no money, but went in anyhow to see what he could do.
 The proprietor said: Well, what will you take?" The ventriloquist said I'll take little whiskey." And then, turning to the dog, he asked What will you have?"
 The answer came very promptly: I'll take ham sandwich"
 The publican was so surprised that he almost tainted. He looked at the dog a moment, and then asked: What did you say?"
 The dog replied: T said I'd take a ham sandwich"
 Mine Host thought it wonderful that dog should be able to talk, and asked who had trained him, how long it had taken, and wound up with: How much will you take for him."
 "Oh," replied MT. Ventriloquist, q wouldn't sell him at any price, but l am little hard up and if you will lend me ten dollars I will leave him with you until I bring back the money"
 "All right" was the reply. 'I just want him for a little while, so I can show him to some people I know right around here"

HUERTA, ADMINISTRATORS
 WELL AS SOLDIER

Victoriano Huerta has proven him self to be a potent administrator as we'll as a most efficient militarist. Il would be fair to admit that he has not had time to demonstrate to the worl6 how able he is to bring about the paci fication of Mexico. Like Porfirio Diaz and the analogy between the two mer is marked, he will be recognized by foreigners and Mexicans as a great men,
 In that unhappy land south of the Rio Grand only an iron hand can rule effectively, the primitiveness and the ignorance of the peon added to his base social and mental condition makes him an unruly animal who ii he is to be dominated must be domi mated by brute force, the only law he has been taught to respect during his centuries of servitude. It took PorfiriC Diaz twelve years to enforce the law and to bring an unwonted order and prosperity to the. country. Huerta has had a little over a year to cope with the situation and in spite of the bitter strife within the borders of the republic and the systematic an tagonism from without he has succeed ed in holding his own much longer than expected.

 It is true that a number of inno- cent men have suffered under the new dictatorship, that deputies have been imprisoned, that Senator DomingueZ mysteriously dismissed, but on the other hand Huerta has surrounded himself with competent men, has sought qualified support and retain ed it.
 A usurper and self-imposed dictator he may have been, but for that mat ter so have been many another Mexi- can president-From "Victoriano Huerta. the Man and Soldier" by N. c. Adossides, in the American Review of Reviews for June.

50 everything was settled, the money paid, the dog left with the pro- prietor and, as the ventriloquist went out, he turned and waved him hand to the dog and said: Well goodbye, Jack. I'll come back soon."
 The dog looked at him and said: :: You mean ,despicable man, to sell me for ten dollars, after all I've done for you! So help me, Moses, I'll never speak another word as long as I Live"

GEN. SAMPSON SAYS
 BIG DO|NGS FOR 1915

General and Mrs. A. J. Sampson. who have been in San Diego for the past six weeks, have returned to Ari zona; and, after having spent a cou pie of weeks visiting at the home of their daughter Mrs. Livermore, of Bard, are now in Phoenix.
 They are on their way to Ashtabula, Ohio, where they have been spending a part of their summers for several years.
 Gen. Sampson brings to Arizona elo- quent reports of the developments of arrangements for the San Diego ex- position in 1915. Arizona will be rep resented there by an arts building which will accommodate the numerous exhibits which aer being gotten ready.

A favorable report on the bill to prohibit the importation of convict made goods into the United States has been made by the Senate manufac- turers committee. Passage of the bill will be bitterly contested by Senators from cotton-growing states, where much of the cotton bagging used is part of the product of foreign convict labor.

M'DONOUGH.

Notwithstanding the statement made to The Examiner this afternoon by U. S. Weather Observer s. Hackett, that the river would probably not reach the 30.5-ft. gage reading, it might be we'll indeed for Yuma project farmers to remember that, in spite of optimistic treatment and views, the Colorado river is st1l there-and is rising.
 And, pursuant to this, all will do we'll to lend a hand, and, incidentally, few teams. to the work of preparing for the deluge, which is possible, al though not probable.
 Only six more days remain for any further strengthening of the leves, and danger points, and anything which the farmers can do now to- ward rendering assistance, would at all events be a profit to them, espe- cially in case of the impending flood tide Farmers should be on the alert, ready and prepared, should the neces- sity arise-and it would if the above prediction of flood tide is true.
 The banks, which are now holding nicely under the 28-ft pressure, will doubtless require all of the reinforce ments which six days work affords to withstand the 30-ft gage.
 No one advocates water scares, nor pessimistic views, but in this case the exact truth may lead to an awakening among all who can help-which will be greatly appreciated should the pre- diction be right.

How Congress Works

Senatcr Kern, who is nominally the
 administration leader is still kidding
 himself into the belief that Congress
 nay adjourn by the tenth of July. Ii
 nay be a fond hope, but for once
 Senator Bristow has nearly everyone
 agreeing with him when he says that such talk is ridiculous" There is a big task ahead of Congress, in con-
 sequence of the executive O. K. of he antitrust measures, the Interstate
 Trade Commission bill and the bal ance of the proposed legislation.
 In tn earlier days of our country, Congress met in December and fin
 shed it's short session in March. Then he session convened in December and time was jockeyed away until the new year. By January, Congress steamed up with a full crew and usually fin ished it's work the first of July. Tn those times the Congressmen received 5000 a year.
 But the country has grown, and 70 meet new conditions Congress has raised the salaries of it's members 70 $7,5OO year-and, having attended to this all-important matter, it's mem bership has bravely shouldered the load of government, and is now in almost continuous session. In 1909 the regular session of Congress ad- iourned on March 4, and an extra ordinary session convened on March b, and continued with the protracted consideration of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill until August of that year. Congress met again in December and continued until July with the consid- eration of the Mann-Elkins act. i, addition to routine business. The members reassembled as usual in De, 2ember and ha da months vacation after March 1. They reasSembled in April on the call of President Taft for the consideration of the Canadian reciprocity treaty. Later the House brought up a series of House readjust- ment measures from the Underwood and gave President Taft -he greatest dose of unwelcome tariff bills and other legslaton ever turn ed over to a president. This was the beginning of the Democratic control of the lower house of Congress and he session continued until September
