You Can't Earn Money
When You're Laid Up

There are lot of people in this town
who cannot afford to be sick. Perhaps
none of you feel that you can, but cert.
alnly some of you can't, for as soon as
you are SICK, your wages stop and debts
begin to pile up. The sensible thing for
you to do, as soon as you feel rundown
and worn out, no matter what the cause,
is to take something just az quick as you
can to build up strength and health.
Make yourself more comfortable and
provide against serious sickness.
We don't believe there is any other
medicine made that will do as much to-
wards saving your health and thus help
ing you save your money as Rexall Olive
Oil Emulsion. Ii is medicine that gets
right at the trouble and relieves it by
toning the nerves, enriching the blood,
and giving new strength and health to the
whole body. 1t dosen't do this by means
of alcohol or habit-forming drugs, be
cause 1t contains none. Its strength and
health-giving power is due to pure Olive
Oil and the Hypoposphtes, long endors-
ed by successful physicians, the one for
its food value, the other foI its tonic
value. Here, for the FIRST time, they are
combined, and the result is a real nerve,
blood and bodybuilding medicine
real strengthened that we are proud to
tell you about. You don't need to hesit-
ate in using it, because if it doesn't do all
we say it will and satisfy you in every
way, II will cost you nothing If it

be given to you without word or question.

May Embarrass Gold Miners.

Cyanide conditions in the United States are still bad and it is not yet apparent from whence the adecuate supply of the salt is to come. The plant at Perth Amboy is running full capacity but is hardly likely to be able to carry the full load, besides which the supply of raw materials may become difficulty. Large shipments of cyanide or dered by various firms shortly before the outbreak of the war may still come through and while the excess carbon and calcium carbide will interfere with the use of cyanamide, it may still be possible to use that salt, of which there is an abun- dant supply, in special situations. It happens that arrangements were under way to manufacture cyanide from cyanamide when the war broke out. The right to use the necessary patents had been secured and the ma chinery was in Berlin ready for shipment. It is just possible that it may still come through. However, for the present there is a sufficient supply, and care and forethought may be depend ed upon to make the best of the situation. It is hardly likely that the shortage will, in the end, be as serious as was at first feared. Mining and Scien- tific Press.

Bird went to Sonora as the re- preSentative of the NogaleS chamber of commerce and pre-. sented the views of that body to the settlers. The chief conten- tion of the chamber of commerce is that they are willing to give their support to the affairs pro- vided the settlers themselves can come to some agreement and provided the fair grounds are chosen with reference to their convenient location to railroad. The meeting appointed com mittee to investigate several proposed sites and report on them at a future meeting to be held at the same place. Citizen.

FARMERS LAW

Under the Arizona Pure Food Law, Chapter 62, Special Ses- sion of 1912. Sec. 3, Sec. f, Subsec. 6, it is misdemeaner for any one to sell, offer for sale or have in his possession with intent to sell, any article of food consisting in part or in whole of filthy, decomposed or putrid animal sustance."
 Milk may easily become dirty, and this contamination is always detected. It is the duty of the State Laboratory to bring to prosecution, by the proper State officials, all parties dealing in or producing such milk, and the law affords the Director of the State Laboratory TO discretion ary powers in the matter.
 The Director recognizes the difficulties surrounding the pro- duction of reasonably pure milk, but the difficulties are no more serious than those encountered in many other lines of food pro- ductiou. It is his desire to aid rather than to hinder, to assist rather than to prosecute. Fur thermore the State law is a protection to the farmer, in that it protects him from the compe- tition of those who handle their milk and dairieS in an unscrup- ulous, careless and dirty man. uer.

Gold Nuggets.

There has been a great deal written of late regarding gold nuggets. But here's a descriP- ton of one that probably makes all others look like a grain of sand. Australia is the largest of England's colonial posses sions. It is six times bigger than India. The largest piece of gold ever found in the world was taken from the Eyer and Haltman claim at Hillend, New South Wales, May 10, 1872, it's weight being GAO pounds, height 4 feet g inches, width 8 feet 2 inches, average thickness 4 in. ches. It's value was computed between S148, 800 and $153, ,6oo- Exchange.

Gen. Villa Requests Truce of Mayto-
 rena.

Naco, By Courier to Naco, Arizona,) Oct. 6.-In order that you may deny categorically with exact information the false news sent out by the enemies of the government of the state, fur nish you with the following in- formation: Since the night of the 2nd instant the forces of the army have been making a hard and incessant fire upon the ad- vance guards of our valiant troops, infiicting upon them no other damage than slight wound, suffered by Lieut.. Col. Jose Romero.
 In spite of the fact that the enemy has not interrupted rife and machine gun fire day and night, our troops advancing ar rived to within 600 metres of the town of Naco where they hold most advantageous posi- tions. When everything was ready for the assault message was received at 3:3O D. m. today (Monday) from General Villa in which he communicates to the constitu tional governor of the state, Jose Maria Maytorena, that the peace council gathered at Aguas Calientes suggests the advisability, in order to arrange all difficulties, of the forces con- manded by the governor sus- pending hostilities against the Carranzista forces, but fixing as a condition the elimination of Carranza.
 Governor Maytorena, animat- ed as always by a firm desire that all our difficulties be ar ranged satisfactorily without further shedding of the blood of brothers, at once ordered his forces to suspend hostilities against the enemy and awaits the result of the conferences of the peace council to continue his movement or suspend it entirely should the said council achieve it's purposes.
 (Signed) ROBERT ALMADA.
 Secretary to Gov. Maytorena,
 Naco Oct. 6.-The siege of Naco is degenerating into a blockage from the Mexican side. Maytorena made a second at tempt to induce Hill to agree to an armistice pending the out come of the Villa Carranza par ley at Aguas Calientes. Hill refused. Maytorena said he would make an armistice him self and withdrew his troops a short distance to await the re- suit at Aguas Calientes. Col. Guilefoyle, commanding the American border patrol, contri- buted somewhat to the peace movement by his summary mo- tice to Hill that he would not be held personally responsible for any further firing across the line.
 In Maytorena's message to Hill sent by courier via the side.-for greater safety-the garrison commander was severely censured for en- his forces at Naco where one side was against the town and not subject to atatck, also because Hill re- fused Maytorona's previous in- vitation to retire to the hills where the battle might be fought on it's merits without danger to border inhabitants.

ENGLAND PUTTING
 ON MODERN AIR Awakening to Advantages of Time and Labor Sav-
 ing Mechanics.

London, May 16.-England is at last beginning to wake up to the advan' tages of time and labor-saving me- chancis. Moving staircases are being attached to all the Metropolitan sub- stations and soon London will be g rolling ball upon which the busy clerk and the myriads of visitors vii be conveyed from one point to anoth, CT with almost lightning rapidity.
 In another and even more practica direction labor is being economized by the erection of electric houses fol domestic purposes. HardWorklns housewives are reveiling in this in ncvation and talk easily about ho baths and other luXuries which have hitherto been unknown in the poorer centers of London.
 Thus, for instance, hot bath car be obtained in the district of Maryle bone, a West End ward at the mod est price of one cent per unit ant can be cut off when not wanted, thu consumer only paying for the curren he uses.
 A big saving is also effected b! the use of electric ovens over coa and gas stoves and thrifty wives art smiling at the discovery that the. can bake their household bread home once more.
 "It looks like fairy tale," sait one busy dame. l used to keep thre' servants. who wasted more than the! profited me. Now I live in an electric house two are more than sufficient So rapidly has the electric house de mand spread in this district that there are now over 250 electric houses il Marylebone and over 4,o00 heatin' systems What better prooc can yol have that a big want is being filled in this direction?'
