ON GETTING sTUNG.
Not Socially Nor Financially, but the
Real Hornet Thing.

| neal FIOTlSt HifS'
Ever get stung? Or, rather, who
hasn't, says the North Carolina state
board OF health-"both with bees and
otherwise. Hurts like the mischief,
doesn't it-both getting stung by bees
and getting stung otherwise? For Ell
| ther kind of getting stung prevention Is
better than cure, and discretion is the
best part of valOr.
Tact, diplomacy and good judgment
will ward off many instances of get
ting stung in the social world as well
as in the insect world. We offer no
panacea or remedy for the former, but
for the latter. seriously speaking, much
can be done.
The first impulse in the case of an
insect sting is to strike the offending
insect, and in doing so in most cases
its sting, leaving the sting in the flesh
1t is the irritating poison on the
sting that hurts so badly and causes
such swelling, so the very first thing
to do is to remove the sting it left in
the flesh. Use Il knife point or needle
for this purpose. Then, don't scratch
or rub the sting. That only makes
bad matters worse. Apply a few drops
of weak ammonia or spirits of camphor
or ordinary tincture of iodine as quick.
ly as possible
The poison from hornet stings is
soluble in alcohol, and therefore if the
spot be gently bathed or washed in al.
cohol some relief is obtained.
Finally, if ammonia, camphor, iodine
or alcohol is not available, gently rub
bling piece of wet soap over the sting
helps the situation out somewhat. Al
ways remember however. that the
most important first aid is to remove
the offending sting and that prevention
is better than cure.

SAVE THE VOICE.
Do Not Sing Nor Talk When Suffering
From Throat Fatigue,


Fatigue Injuries the voice. Excessive
use of the voice weakens its CARRYING
power. From OveruSe or improper use
of the voice chronic pharyngitis de-
velops. Every one knows the symp-
toms of ovel1lse of the voice. The voice
is husky. and its use is followed by dis
tress. There is an increase in secre-
ton and constant desire to clear the
throat and there are disagreeable SEN
sations, as fullness, tickling and the
like. After long day of shopping,
sightseeing or ones daily routine of
work, it is quite common to be trou-
Dled by hoarSeneSs. which does not in
dictate cold" but is merely fatigue
of parts which produce the voice.
The muscular system all over the
body is tired, re.aXed. The throat, be-
ing muscular structure, shares in this
fatigue. al. ii should never be used for
any part U,Hr purpose, like singing or
reciting. III ii the whole body is rested
If one has arranged to use the voice at
III. >'''' VI t!i'' Ndy VI Ut any Otuer
time. it SHOULD not be when suffering
from fatigue
Public speakers and singers take care
Of their voices and never willingly use
chem long enough at a time to weaken
them. Singing only one song extra
may hurt the voice enough to impair
It's cIearneSS. and frequent OVERRIDING
may result in a permanent weakness.
Hest before using the voice and taking
care not To use it too long when sing
ing or speaking saves the voice and
keeps it clear and sweet and gives it
carrying power.

he sea Cow Cave Rise to the Legend

The dugong. or sea COW, is a pc

body and is more nearly related to the
porpoises and whales.
This animal is found Oh the shores
Of the Indian ocean, about fifteen de-
grees on each side of the equator from
East Africa to Australia and also in
the Red sea. 1t is a marine animal
which never aScends the rivers, its

ago it was reported to have been found
in large herds Of several hundred in
dividuals and to have been so fearless

however, it is met with only in twos
and threes and has become very shy
and wary. Its flesh has been regard
ed as delicacy, and it is stated that
the Malay kings claim us royal proper
ty all those taken within their domain.
Its habit of raising its round head
out of the water and its great affec-
ton for its young, which it carries I'M
der the fore fin, are thought to have
given rise to the legend of the mer.
maid, in allusion to which the name
slrenia was given to this order of

THE FINAL RESULTS
Final Count Shows Camp
bell Elected---COntest to
Be Instituted

The official count of the late
state election gives Campbell a
majority of thirty votes over Hunt,
according to complete figures in
the secretary of states office. Hunt
has filed suit in protest in the
superior court of Maricopa county
at Phoenix, and will contest the
result
The Inauguration of the COVER
lnor, according to law, is the first
Monday in January. If the suit is
not decided by that time, Arizona
will either have no governor, or
two governors or an acting COVER
nor, that point being rot yet
clear.
Three of the amendments voted
on at the late election carried, nine
were defeated. Those that carried
are prohibition, abolition of the
death penalty, and the amendment
to the fish and game law.
A delay in the canvass of the
vote was due to the lack in official
form of the returns from one pre-
cinct in Coconino county (although
the totals are known) and the
the count on supreme court in Mo-
have county.
Official figures on the amend
ments are:
Initiative and referendum, 49,
$50 for, 13, ,961 against.
Exemptions from taxation, H.

CAPITALISTS TAKE OVER THE MAGNATE
Great Twin Buttes Copper Property Acquired by Syn
dicate of New York Men

the great Utah mine will have a
rival i'll this property in due time.
Our engineers pronounce this prop
erty as certainly being the making
OF another Utah. It is porphyry
of richness. The property has
been reported upon by DR.. Walter
Harvey Weed and J. C. Lindley
and other prominent copper en-
gineers, and from exploration work
recently done, | do not believe
that III due time there will be any
porphyry copper in the west that
will exceed the Magnate in the
quality and quantity of it's copper
ore tonnage. We have practically
completed arrangements to heavily
finance this property and we ex-
pect to have it churn- drilled on an
extensive scale as rapidly as posi-
BILE. With such mines as the Ray,
Inspiration, New Cornelia and
New Cornelia Extension dotting
your hills, there cannot be other
than a universal and lasting pros
perity throughout Arizona.
We visited the new camp of
Ajo and 1 have no words that can
express my belief that Ajo is going
to be soon recognized as one of
the greatest copper producing
camps in the entire west. The
New Corne1ia mine is a giant and
the new meta1lurgica1 and other
improvements installed during the
last two years are a revelation even
to one who has kept in close touch
with the operation of that camp
from a distance. -
THE Magnate mine, above re-
ferred to, is one in which the Mar
tinez Brothers, formerly of Benson,
are interested. Their friends here
are glad to hear that after the ex-
penditure of much time and labor
their efforts seem about to be sue
cessful
The Benson signal., 1916-12-09

Fresh from the successful con-
summation of deal whereby they
took over the Magnate copper mine
in the Twin Buttes district near
Tucson, a party of twenty-eight,
representing big eastern capital
lists, arrived III two special cars
yesterday.
E. !. Chapman, of Tucson and
Phoenix and Engineer Arthur S.
Noble will represent the interests
of this group in some stupendous
mining deals in Arizona, it was
announced last night. Half a
dozen large copper properties
will probably be taken over during
the next year, and operations will
be on an aggressive scale. Al
though not formally announced, It
was understood last night that the
news would soon be given out that
the capitalists had taken over the
New Cornelia Extension, at Ajo,
where it is believed a tremendous
mineralized area will be opened up.
Chapman announced last night
that DR.. E. D. Dier, OF the firm of
Hughes & Dier, of Philadelphia,
would bring a party of not less
than 100 men to Arizona to look at
copper properties within the next
two months
The following statement was
made by Arthur S. Noble, the ex-
pert of the party:
We stopped at Douglas and
visited the great Calumet and Ari-
zona and Copper Queen smelters
and have Investigated several i'm
portant properties in Pima and
Pinal counties. In these two
counties, I cannot help but feel
still greater results are yet to be
accomplished. We visited the

Last Monday night a goodly
number of the representative clti-

discussing the advisabi1ity of unit
ing and having a community
Christmas tree for the benefit of
the community in general. The
meeting was called to order by Mr..

seconded it was decided to have an
executive committee consisting of
seven members to take full charge;
that the chairman and secretary of

man was to appoint the other five
members. There being no further
business the meeting adjourned to

The Freight Car Shortage

Heavier loading of freight cars
is the remedy recommended by S.
P railroad officials to relieve the
car shortage. Shippers by making
use of the maximum capacity of
cars, according to Mr.. ] w. Nc
C1yonds, of the Pacific Fruit Ex-
press Co., can make four cars do
the work of five. The immense
increase of traffic on all lines has
caused the shortage of cars to be
accutely felt, and the railroad Off
