STORAGE BATTERY HAS
SAVED BROKEN ARMS

The Electric Auto Company of Ari-
IONA illustrates what specializing
does for the modern automobile
world. Electrical work of every ma
ture on automobiles may be handled
with expert and experienced attention.
Their policy is to triumph where all
others have failed with the most
difficult tasks of the modern central
station on wheels.
In direct line with this specially is
the storage battery which has saved
so much labor, SO many broken arms
and accidents due to the stalled mo-
tor. The storage battery, like tires,
wears out with use and requires a
plant equipped with expensive ap-
paratus for it's proper repair. Mr.
F. A. Kirkwood Jr., Of the Electric
Auto company has furnished it with
devices similar to those used in the
largest factories, and can repair any
battery from the smallest on motor
cycles to those used for street car
propulsion.
Since this work requires expert at
tention, each garage cannot afford to
engage an expert, and has either the
choice of placing the work in ex-
perimenter's hands, or sending it to
an equipped battery station. The
Electric Auto Company of Arizona is
the official storage battery station Of
| the Willard Storage Battery company
of Cleveland, and has arranged will
the most important garages of the
| state for their battery repairs and re-
| charges.

MESA
BUILDING ACTIVITY
SOMEWHAT REVIVED
Arnold Brothers Will Commence Erec-
ton of Handsome Bungalow
For Joseph Morris.

The prevailing low price of lum-
Der. together with the rather close
, bidding of contractors, has led to the
erection of more new homes in Mesa.
Two reasons are said to be RESPONSE
BILE for the looking up activity in
building, the very reasonable figure
at which modern houses can be
erected, and the optimistic outlook
| for the future of the town.
| Among the more recent buildings to
be commenced is that of the Charles
Lesueur home west of the city, which
| is estimated to cost upwards of six
thousand dollars. The structure is to
be of cement brick and modern

East Main street.

erection of home north of the city,
adjoining the Al Atkins residence
A. F. Bellamy has purchased the
| frame structure on the site of the
Grammar school building, which has
been used as an overflow building
before the erection of the new Gram
mar school building on East Main
street. The building has been re-
modelled and will be moved on a lot
owned by Mr.. Bellamy on East Sec

purposes. The plans for the Miss
Mckenzie home are about completed
and will be placed in the hands of

WHAT THEY ARE GOING
TO PLANT N ORCHARDS
kirkman Nurseries Manager Lists
Some Of the Trees For Which
There Is Big Demand

| In statement concerning the
nursery situation, the manager of the
kirkman nurseries of North Central
the following:
| Nearly everyone that has tried
plums and prunes has had success
with them, and we are selling lots of
| them this year. Climax for early,
Damson for cooking, Greengage,
| Wickson and Kelsey are popular, and
| French prunes are being planted also.
They bear well here.
| This weather we are now having
has stimulated the planting and we
are very busy now packing out orders
| No one can make any mistake in
Planting now. It's rare we ever have
such perfect weather conditions.
| Another thing you notice is the call
for Lowell Salway, Muir peaches for
canning and drying. The people have
learned that these ore the ones raised
in California, have found them sue
cessful here and they are planting
them now. And it's the same way
with the clingstone peaches for can
ming They call for the commercial
peaches like they do in California:
| Tuscan, Peaks and Phillips yellow
clingstones, and McKevitt white cling
stones.
More interest is being shown in the
valley in planting trees every year.
ard the planters are more critical IN
the selection of their varieties. They
have found the varieties that do best
and have learned to cOnfine their
planting to varieties that have a COM
| mercial standing.
In apricots, more Tiltons are being
planted this year than before. 1t is
lasger and a better canning or drying
apricot than the earlier apricots.

RECIPE TO
CLEAR A
PIMPLY SKIN
PimpIeS Are Impurities Seeking al
Outlet Through Skin Pores.

PimpleS, sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins. poisonS and impuri-
ties which are generated in the bowels
and then absorbed into the blood
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nourishment to sustain
the body.
1t is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine,
but in many instances the bowels
create more toxins and impurities
than the kidneys can eliminate, then
the blood uses the skin pores as the
next best means of gettin: rid of
these impurities which often break
out all over the skin in the form of
PIN pies.
The surest way to clear the skin
of these eruptions, says a noted auth
ority, is to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces of Jad Salts and
take tablespoonful in a glass of hot
water each morning before breakfast
for one week. This will prevent the
formation of toxins in the bowels. 1t
also stimulates the kidneys to normal
activity, thus coaxing them to filter
the blood of impurities and clearing
the skin of pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with 1ithia.
Here you have a pleasant. efferves-
cent drink which usually makes pim-
pies disappear; cleanses the blood
and is excellent for the kidneys as
well.-Adv.

Russian Lines Are Driven Back
in Western Galicia.
All Sides Admit Cars Troops
Are Hard Pressed.
TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE
Allies Increase Their Activities
in Western Theater.
Italy Expected to Join Allies at
Any Time.

| London, May 1.-THE Russians
continue to fall back in western Ga
licia before the Austro-G erman thrust
and the Germanic allies now have
crossed the upper reaches of the Wis
loka river and are within fifty miles
of the fortress OF Przemysl. This
much is admitted in the official COM
munication given out by the staff of
Grand Duke Nicholas, but it is spoken
of in matter of fact way which does
not show much perturbation and cou-
pies with the reverse the claims of
having recommended a successful Of
fensive against the Austro-Germans at
various points.
1t is anticipated in London that the
allies advance on the western front
will help to reduce the pressure on
the Russians. A new and significant
development in the western theater is
that despite the German concentration
in Flanders and France, the British
and French forces find themselves
strong enough to attack on such a
wide front.
Confirmation of yesterdays state
ment that heavy reinforcement had
reached the allied front is found in
the Berlin official communication
which estimates the number to be "at
least four fresh army corps The re-
cruiting fervor aroused in Great Brit
ain by the sinking Of the Lusitania
continues.
Information received here from vir-
tually all sources agrees that Italy is
going to join the allies, but the pre-
else moment when she is to intervene
remains a secret.
