Fighting the Grip

An epidemic of grip is prevalent in the United
States. In Chicago, eighty-five teachers were
compelled to leave their class rooms last week.
New York and other eastern cities report the all
ment wide spread and malignant. A number
of cases have been reported in Richmond.
Although grip is not scourge such as small
pox and diseases Of that kind, it nevertheless is
an ailment that seriously interferes with the
health and sometimes has fatal results. DR..
Hurry, secretary of the state board of health has
issued few hints telling how to stay the disease
before it reaches aggravated condition. One
of his suggestions is that persons afflicted with
the ailment go and stay in bed under doctors
care until they have recovered. This means a
speedy recovery for the patient and at the same
time prevents the disease from spreading
throughout the whole city. Grip is contagious.
Why not be on the safe side? Let afflicted ones
stay at home and thus safeguard persons who
are not afflicted.

Learning Thrift

That the American people are gradually
learning the lesson of thrift and ceasng their
prodigal dissipation not only of the natural re-
sources of the country, but also of the wages
and salaries they receive, is apparent from the
last postal report which shows gain of $22,0O0,-
900 in the last twelve months over the previous
year. The number of depositors increased by
525,414. The Lafayette Courier commenting on
this showing says:
'In all forms of savings banks deposits have
grown substantially in recent years, and the mil
lions who can show the proof that they do not
spend all they earn increase materially in number
from decade to decade. This expansion has been
much greater than is generally realized. Sta
tistics for 1910 show that at that time the saw
ings bank deposits in the United States totaled
$3,713,OOO,OOO. That was nearly 80 times as
large as the total in 1850 and in those sixty years
the population of the country quadrupled. In the
decade from 1900 to 1910 the deposits grew con-

siderably more than billion dollars, 80 today 1t
is safe to say we have over four billions in saw
ings accounts. The figures show that saving has
become more general and that the individual
credits have mounted upward constantly. Postal
savings bank depositors are extensively COM
posed of a class who formerly boarded money be-
cause of an unwarranted distrust of all banks
1t is noteworthy that three-fourths OF the
depositors are of foreign birth. Aliens are &C
customed to postal savings through the use OF
this institution in their home countries. They
teach us that thrift begins in small way but
leads to competence in old age.

If he found anything lying around

it to the woods and bury it.

But no sooner was Catherine out of

Catherine came back just in time to

Catherine ran after Ned, calling for

Ordinance No. 26

Among the matters on which the people will vote on April is Ordinance No. 2S, known the "traf- fife ordinance against which the referendum was invoked Its origin is somewhat cloped in mys- good legislation; rule, it is designed for the benefit of few persons rather than for the bene fit of the many. It is charged that the ordinance is discriminatory and that it was. intended to be aimed at the drivers of the called small automo- piles used for hire. The discrimination lies in the fact that the yearly license of $6O must be paid, the whole amount. in advance instead of quarterly, as all other licenses paid. There is bond feature which is practically prohibOry- the bond being of such character that of the commercial bond ing companies will it. that if the driver has influential friends furnish his bond he is ex- cuded from business

The advance included many repre- sentative shares in the railroad class. Santa Fe. Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Louisville and Nashville these showing gains of from one to two points at their best
 Union Pacific retained the leader ship with a substantial advance over it's high price the previous session. Sauthern Pacific sales thus far in the week, through London. are esti- mated at 50,000 shares. Other strong points were Anthracite shares. Ca nadian Pacific, and the former Gould group. Metal stocks filled q further response to the advance in the price of copper to 15A cents Final prices were mostly under the top level. An other million in gold was engaged at Ottawa, and half million addi- tional gold was taken from Japan. | The gold inflow from Canada, the
 largest of any week in over a year reflected the weekly statement of the Bank of England which reported a bullion loss of over s11,000, 900. 1 The Santa Fe system contributed a noteworthy statement of earnings

Growing Chamber of Com mcrce Decides on Exhibits at Both San Francisco and San Diego-To Draw Tourists

Born and christened not so long ago, the new named Chamber of Commerce has decided all at once to grow up. and if the committees con tinue their successful work till to- morrow night the youngster will cer- tainly reach his majority by that time.
 The directors decided yesterday that something had to be done about it. The walls of The Board of Trade building are not elastic but the bu- siness of the C. of c. office certainly is. It is probable that an exten- sion and entirely new arrangement of the office will be necessary to laccomodate the growing volume of business.
 When the committees have brought in the last card on Saturday night really grown up. that will be just the beginning. Now that the drec- tors are sure of the backing of the business men of the city they arc going to reach out after some biz things.
 1 The biggest of them is the oppor-
 tunity for advertising offered by tn, Propositions. Routing of tourists via
 Roosevelt is already being widely ad. vertlsed in the east and the great i celebration at the dam next montl with the stories and pictures that will follow in eastern weeklies vii attract additional attention to tho

COMMISSION STRIKES
 OUT p. (. & [. RULE

Acting on an informal complaint, the corporation commission yester- day abolished the rule of the Pa cific Gas and Electric company mak
 ing $2.00 the minimum connection
 charge during any one month and
 gave the company ten days in which
 to file revised rule meeting with the commissions requirements
 Complaint was brought against the company by A. w. Schwartz, consumer, who paid $200 to have
 gas and electric service connected and within a month moved to an
 ether address. Under company rule 17 he was forced to pay $2O0 addi- tionai charge, making the charge for the rlcnth s4.00. Inasmuch as the l company's rules already provide minin1um monthly charge of $1.00 for electric service and 90 cents for gas. the commission ruled the extra charge for reading the meters eX- cessire, and ordered that it cease. In | tn, commissions order it is held that ! a charge of fifty cents each for gas and electric service in case of re- 1 moval would not be excessive. This ! would have made the charge in the case under consideration $2.50 instead 1 of S4oG.

MANY CANDIDATES l FOR SCHOOL BOARD
Sign of Great Interest in the Two
 Elections

More genuine interest is being taken in tie school elections tomorrow to fill vacancies on both the high school and grade school boards than ever before, with a single exception when the em- ployment of grade school superinten- dent hung on the issue and good deal of politics was injected into the con test This year there is no such incen- tive to interest in the election Only d keener interest than usual is being talk en in the schools and the candidates i for the most part have become so only at tie earnest solicitation of friends. | For the grade schools, Dr. L. D. Dam | eron is standing for reelection though 1 he was hopeful that he might be able to retire at the end of his second term. But so great has been the improvement | of the school during his incumbency 1 that many citizens have urged him to
 be d candidate again and he has been
 especially urged by Sims Ely who has 1 served with him on the board for the
 last six years.
 i Another candidate is Mrs. T. NJ. ! Elder who has the endorsement of the i Phoenix Trades Council. The candi- dacy of Mrs. Elder is based on her iE-
 terest in school work for several years 1 and the fact that she was one of the organizers of the first Parent Teachers
 association in Phoenix.
 There are two vacancies to be filled | on the high school board, one from the town and the other from the country. Mrs. F. H. Abbott has been nominated for the city membership. She has been
 endorsed bv tho Civic League and by
 the High School Parent Teachers as 1 soCiation. It is understood that she
 will have the almost solid support of the other associations as well as of other women organizations.
 B. w. Getsinger whose term expired
 is also a candidate for the city mem | bership It was not the intention of 1 MT. Getsinger to run again but a week ago he was induced to become q candi-
 date for reelection.
 Lin B. Orme has been put forward bX
 . large number of patrons of the school for the out of town membership of the high school board to succeed Eugene | Brady O'Neill whose term expired and who also moved in the city and thereby became ineligible for election to the out Of town position.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
CANDIDACY OF MRS. ABBOTT

The candidacy of Mrs. F.. ii. ADDOtt for trustee of the Phoenix Union High School continues to grow in popularity The interest manifested in her behalf has surpa sSed even the fondCst hopes Of her friends. From every section of the district come promises of support and congratulations that one so eminently qualified for the position has consented to become Il candidate. The conviction deepens that the school board is a most fitting place for d woman and that the interest of home school and child are best ser, ed thereby the ideals of wo- man find their true expression in the school no less than in the home. Just as fathers influence is necessary in the management of well regulated home so a mothers influence is neces- sary in school affairs. This may most easily be obtained through a woman member of the board while the view point of men and women differ yet both are necessary in any well balanced government.
 As president of the Parent Teach : CTS Association of the high school and
  Mrs. Abbott has come in close personal touch with the affairs of the high | school and would bring to that board an intimate knowledge gained through 1 observation and experience that would i be an invaluable aid in solving any school problems that may arise.
 l Since there has been a slight misun- I fl T l tn NEl,n In1 fp vote at the coming school election it may be of interest to note the qualified a- 1 tions of school electors as found in the | school laws of Arizona 1913:
 1 Every person. male or female of the | age of twenty-onc years or over who is a citizen of the United States and who has been resident of the state of Ari- zona for one year, and of the district for thirty days immediately preceding ! the day of the election and who is the parent or guardian of minor child re- l siding in the district or who has pat a state or county tax, exclusive of pol | road or school tax during the preceding year is eligible to election to the office of trustee and shall be entitled to vot. 1 at any school district election: provid- ed, that every woman offering to vnt. at such election (who is otherwis, qualified Under this sectiom and who's, husband or father is or was d citizei of the United States, shall be treated and considered as citizen of tn, United States for the purpose of votn; at such election and provided further that every woman whose husband is ; taxpayer or community property an, who is otherwise qualified to vote un der this section. shall be considered qualified clector for the purpose of vot

A Model School Trustee

Without disparagement of any other candidate for membership of the Phoenix grade school board. we believe that the long experience of Dr. l.. D. Dameron and the ability with which he has filled the office of trustee during the last six years mark him as the candidate to support. The school district is fortunate in finding of the type of pr. Dameron who are willing to make the necessary sacrifice of time for the good of the schools
 Though the work of the school trustee is q labor of love, Dr. Dameron has hesitated to take tiire from his evacting practice when the good oe the schools required it. That the grammar schools of Phoenix have progressed more rapidly during his incumbency has been due in part his earnest work and his great interest in them.
