Summer Constipation DANGEROUS

Constipation in Summertime is more
dangerous than in the fall, winter or
spring. The food you eat is often con-
taminated and is more likely to ferment
in your stomach. Then you are apt to
drink much cold water during the hot
weather, thus injuring your stomach.
Collie. Fever, Ptotamaine Poisoning and
other ills are natural results Po-Do-Lax
will keep you well, as it increases the
Bile. the natural laxative. which rids
the bowels of the congested poisonous
waste. Po-Do-Lax will make you feel
better Pleasant and effective. Take a

ONE MORE CONCERT BEFORE START FOR
 GREAT STATE FAIR
Copper Queen Band Will Appear On Lawn Before HOdgSon
 Home Friday Evening-WiIl Depart Sunday For Phoenix

Final appearance before they leave for the state fair where they will furnish music for the week, has been arranged for the Copper Queen band. They will play their final appearance before their departure for Phoenix. on he lawn at the home of Captain Hodgson, Saturday evening.
 This concert will be a fair sample of the work which the band will do in Phoenix They have been spending much of their spare time in the past two weeks getting ready for their ap- pearance at the state fair. They have arranged several new programmes. per fected some of their best selections. taken on new and some very showy masterpieces, and in every way pre- pared to make their appearance at Phoenix a boost for Bisbee, Bisbee's musical talent and Bisbee's men.
 They will remain in Phoenix for the whole of the fair week. They leave Bisbee Sunday, next. arriving in the state capital Monday morning From the time they arrive until they depart they will make public ap- pearances either in the city proper or at the fair grounds, several times each day
 The Copper Queen band was one of the several outside bands which ap- peared at the fair last year Of their work much was said at the time Of their appearance, and several times the Phoenix papers praised the Bis bee organization fulsomely. It is eN- pected that they will be able to make .an even better appearance in the state capital this year, and that the fair will in the future be incomplete without the Bisbee music makers.

NATURE FAKIRS ARE MAKING STOCK OVER
 NINA DE LA TERRA
Terrible Tales Of Gigantic Spider Being Sent Broadcast Over United States-None Herea-
 bouts Know Animal Personally

Terrible stories about the ravages wrought by the ferocious nina de la terra huge venomous spider that lis the terror of the native people of Arizona and New Mexico, are being sent broadcast over the United States by some nature faker who has been travelling around in New Mexico and has gotten shy of the stuff that rises when it is crushed to earth again.
 Bisbee naturalists do not admit a speaking acquaintance with the nina de la terra, but a New Mexican au- thority has the following to say about the dreaded spider
 The nina de la tierra" child of the earth, as it is called in English is said by scientists to belong to a non-pois- .onous family of insects. The native people fear them and a finger. usual Fly where the bite occurs, is promptly cut off. Blood poisoning sometimes follows the amputation and is charged to the insect, totally without reason.
 Aside from the rattlesnake. there is nothing in this country with a sting TOT bite more poisonous or painful than the sting of a hornet All stories to the contrary are pure invention.
 The original story which is making the rounds of the eastern papers reads as follows:
 A party were camping near the clin dwellings in the Frijoles can yon New Mexico. They had spent three days exploring the canyons and ruins of this region without meeting any of the numerous poisonous i'm sects and reptiles common to the country. One noon. as they were eat. ing their lunch seated in a circle on the sand, someone remarked that they had been fortunate in not run ming into some rattlesnakes or centi- pedes. As the conversation dwelt on these dangers. the Mexican driver told them about the nina de la tierra" or child of the earth, which is the terror of the natives.
 @A ANF AiAAAAAE1 idltI a nuEe URlY spider crawled up from the sand in the center of the group. It was a pale yellow or flesh color. The head was much larger proportionately than that of the ordinary spider. The ar rangement of the eyes and mouth parts and the markings on the head made it resemble a homely bald child. lt was an object to cause a shudder of fear and disgust and everyone de Ia tierra" After teasing the spider with a stick to show its activity and fighting qualities. one of the men killed it.
 The nina de la tierra" is reputed among the MeNcans to be more dead ly poisonous than the tarantula. It reaches a larger size. but fortunately is not as common Deaths from it's bite, however have been recorded.

ROAD WORK MAY STOP
 IF BOND ISSUE FAILS
County Would Then Have To Put Up Money If It Desires
 Work To Continue

According to statements from the office of Assistant State Engineer J. c. Ryan, if the proposed issue of S5,OOO,- 900 in bonds for road Improvements throughout the state should fail to carry, it is highly probable that road work in Cochise county will have to be suspended, or at least greatly cut down.
 The only alternative, local road off icials say, is for the board of supervi- sors of the county to make immediate arrangements for providing funds for carrying on the work 1t would take long time for the county to issue bonds to continue the work, as some of the opponents of the state bond is- sue have suggested. and this delay would greatly handicap the work
 However the above condition is contingent on the defeat of the bond issue, and road officials are by no means willing to admit that the amendment is going to be defeated. In fact, they express confidence that it will be passed It is too early as yet to get definite results but they feel that the affirmative votes will iu- crease as the votes are counted. They claim Cochise county by a substantial majority n
