Commission Arrives.

William Daze, jr., received his
official commission as postmaster
at Winslow last Tuesday morn
ing, with the big gold seal at
tached, bearing the signature of
Woodrow Wilson, declaring his
especial confidence in the integ-
rity and ability of the appointee.
The editor has always known
that Williams reputation as a
real first-class citizen was well
established in WinsIow, and ev-
en- extended over the state some
what, but we did not think it had
reached as far east as Washing
ton. Just when the formal
transfer would take place in the
office Mr.. Daze was not prepared
to state, but the date will proba-
bly, be made to suit the conven-
ience Of Miss Mahoney, the re-
firing postmistress.

Beck Goes to Showlow.

w. E. Beck, who has conduct
ed the Mems Shop in Winslow
for several years, leaves here
this week for ShoWloW, in the
south part Of the county, where
he will engage in general mer-
chandising business. He has
been closing out his local stock
here for several weeks, and the
fixtures will be shipped to his
new location. Mr.. Beck has been
one of our live, progressive cit
liens, who built up a fine bust
ness in exclusive gents furnish
ings, but the lure of the south
country, and the fine opportuni-
ty to engage in business on a
larger scale was too strong to
hold him here. We regret to
lose men like Mr.. Beck from this
community, but our people will
all wish him success in his new
field.

From this list, if the voters

a tlrst-class city council can be
selected that will give to our city
a clean, business-like administra-
ton, clean up the town, and
make WlnsloW a desirable place
in which to live. The old city
council were badly handicapped
during their term in office for
lack of sufficient funds, owing to
the passage Of the prohibition
law, and no other provision being
made for funds to take the place
of the license money with which
to operate a city government.
This condition is now relieved to
a certain extent, and the new
council should start a forward
movement looking to the general

Distressing Accident.

Tuesday morning a Mexican
laborer, employed by Mr.. D. E.
Hanks to assist in unloading a
car of sugar for Babbitt Bros.
sustained an injury to his left
hand that will leave it crippled
for life. The sugar was being
stored in the celler through a
basement window, the heavy
iron grating being raised against
the building. The man started
to reach the cellar through the
window, his hand resting on the
cement walk, when in some way
he dislodged the grating, which
fell catching the hand and crush
ing every bone, and cutting ev-
cry tendon. He was given i'm
mediate medical attention, and
he will be fortunate if the hand
is saved from amputation.

Found Our Old Friend.

Last Wednesday morning we
found in our mail a letter from
our old friend, Mr.. Taxpayer, a
brother-in- n-laW to An Old Sub
scriber, and uncle to More Anon,
who confdentially informs US
that he has the proof of a crime
that has been committed, which
he is willing to divulge if there
is any reward offered, and wants
us to inform him through the
columns Of the paper. We are
sorry we cannot comply with the
request, but we have a little in
formation that will be interest
ing to him along other lines. If
he has the info rmation he claims
and refuses to notify the authori-
ties he ought to be in the peni-
tentiary instead of being permit
ted to run at large. He is either
an accessory to the crime if he
knows the facts and refuses to
tell unless he is given a reward,
or else he is a common black
mailer. He can take his choice
of which class he comes under,
but the Winslow Mail is not look
ing for partnership with that
kind of an individual

New Fire Equipment.

The city council made the fire
boys happy last Tuesday evening
by authorizing the expenditure
of several hundred dollars for
additional fire equipment. The
new equipment has been sorely
needed for some time, butt took
a fire like the one we had Sunday
night to bring the matter forci-
bly, home to the people. Even
with the contemplated purchase,
further improvements are neces-
sary to put the fire department
in fighting condition. The town
Should have two or three new
carts, and at least 1900 feet Of new
hose. With two or three carts,
and a company assigned to each
will naturally create healthy
rivalry, that will have a benef-
cial effect in improving and main
tanning efficiency.

Disastrous Blaze.

The heaviest fire loss that has
fallen on WinsloW in many years
was the total destruction of the
lumber yard belonging to j. r.
Hunter last Sunday night. The
fire was first discovered about
midnight and the alarm prompt
ly turned in, but the fire spread
so rapidly and burned so fercely
that before the fire company
could get in action it was appar-
ent that any effort to save the
property was futile, and most
of their energy was directed to
confning the fire and save the
adjoining property. The boys
worked hard and faithful, with
the poor equipment at their dis
posal, and after two hours fight
ing had the fire under control.
The fire started in an old barn
adjoining the lumber yard, which
was used by some Japs as a rem,
devious.
Mr.. Hunter estimates his loss
on the lumber and buildings at
S12, 900, with only a couple of
thousand of dollars insurance.
In a few hours the savings of
years of toll and thrift are wiped
out, but Mr. Hunter has not lost
his courage, and already has his
arrangements made to open up
at once at the old stand, and has
placed his orders for lumber,
which he expects to arrive in a
few days. 1t is a loss a man of
Mr.. Hunters age can ill-afford.
but we are glad Mr.. Hunter has
the fighting spirit to get in the
battle again, and it is this cour-
age that will win for him even
greater success than he has yet

ADULTERATING FOOD.

Is years ago a friend of mine, who
then worked for one of the big milk
companies, in telling about his work,
said: 81 can make the best cream
you ever tasted" I was surprised
and said: ct did not know that cream
was manufactured. 1--WE make,
ours" said he. 1--WE like to put
little extra in each bottle of milk. It
looks good and draws trade"
Then he went on to tell how it was
made, except a mysterious powder
which was used that was a secret

eral companies, any amount Of it, but
in a different way. One way is to
suspend rendered beef taIoW in
skinned milk. This is harmless to
health, but is not cream. There are
other methods not so wholesome.
The milk companies in raising the
price Of milk send around their soft
spoken solicitors, who describe at
great length how pure their milk is
and make you think they are doing
you a great favor by raising the
price and giving you pure milk, but
they are not, as the law calls for pure
milk and cream. They are doing
you no favor. You may test cream
by whipping it, as only real cream
will whip.
The adulterator of food is worse
than the murderer who usually kills
but one, while the other kills a null
titude by slow process. When you go
to market find out what you are buy
ing, ask your grocer if he will guar
antee it, read the labels on the cans.
You are paying your good money for
it to get value received. Try to pass
a spurious half dollar on him and see
what howl he makes. Therefore he
has no right to sell you spurious food.
When you buy your bakery goods
ask what gives the cake it's golden
color. It may be coal tar dye-many
bakers never use eggs-or it may be
canned eggs which are rotten eggs
prOcessed. If he cannot guarantee
the color to be fresh eggs, tell him, in
plain language what a crook he is
and try another place. Remember
he wouldn't take bad money from
you. Tell your neighbor about him.
Publicity will stop that kind of bus
mess quicker than any other method,
though it would be splendid idea to
give that kind of a fellow the whip
ping post and cat-o-nine tails.
