In spite Of the dry weather, J. C. Garland Of Acorn, continues to mar ket watermelons, the load he brought in Tuesday being about as fine Hs any fle mad thus lar market as any that he had thus far market ed, many of the melons weighing from 70 to 90 pounds. He is easily making a record this year as the champion melon grower in this ter ritory. having already outdistanced his neighbor. John Peyton, and R. E. Watkins of Board Camp, both of whom have in previous years been good watermelon growers. Mir. Gar land says his patch only covers about a half acre, and yet he has marketed about $50 worth of melons to date. and if it rains soon there will still be more During the grow ing process he has protected the largest melons from sun scald by covering them with gunny sacks tho his vines are still fresh and green

II! SUBSTITUTE
 FOR NASTY CALOhEL
starts Your Liver Without Making You Sick and Can Not
 Saliyate.

"Calomel is dangerous and people know it. while Dodson's Liver Tone IS perfectly safe and gives better results" said a prominent local druggist, Dodsonls Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle costs 90 cents and if it fails to give easy relief in every case of liver sluggishness and constipation, you have only to ask for your money back.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harmless to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no bilious ness. sick headache, acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience all the next day like violent calomel. Take a dose of calomel today and tomor- row you will feel weak. sick and nauseated. Take Dodson's Liver Tone instead and feel fine. full of vigor and ambition.--Adv.

HOW PINEAPPLE JUICE AND PEPSTN RELIEVES
 STOMACH TROUBLE

The juice of pineapples contains ferments used by the stomach in the digestion of food. pepsin is supplied by every stomach, but many times in insufficient quanti- ties. These two when combined with the other ingredients in Natol Pineapple Pepsin Compound fur nish to the stomach exactly the right proportion to digest the food. Strong laxatives are an injury and are not needed where the food is properly digested.
 Natol Pineapple pepsin Compound IS not patent medicine but cor- rective and assistant in overcoming all stomach troubles. One bottle t50c) is usually enough to give per- manent relief. All druggists and Vandivers Drug Store. Adv.

GOLDWATER's

With every detail perfectly carried out, Goldwater's offered one of the most attractive displays. not only of this season, but of any past year. Against a background of blue and gold, fashionable fabrics and all the little things" that tend toward making milady's toilet complete were shown. Everything was in exquisite taste, even to the display cards which harmonized with the decorative effects and the handsome silks. Noticed in another window were frocks for afternoon and evening wear, and smart hats, up-to- the-minute shoes and pumps in white and black satin to match the gowns. In the central display window was everything that suggested golf. The outdoor sports apparel was truly a group of winning numbers. Washable suits for small boys in the south win dow completed the display.

Measured by footage and artistry, the New York Store played pleading part in the Fashion Show. The large display windows on Washington and First streets held the attention of throngs throughout the evening. There were exquisite hand-painted silks, silk and chiffon combinations and dainty Dresden silks. new smart models in hats severely tailored as we'll as elab- orately trimmed affairs; chic blouses, gold and silver embroidered laces, nifty sport and dress shoes and pumps, and French lingerie. One window was devoted to wash suits for little folk and another to mems apparel. In still another was a pleasing display of art needlework. The window that attract ed the feminine approval was given over to spring frocks modelled on the styles of 1880. There was more than a suggestion of the hoop skirt in a fetching frock of Nile green embroid- cred in silver over silver lace, and this was but one of many pretty and effec- tive conceptions.

'DR|vERS BLINDED;
 TWO AUTOS CRASH

Blinded by each others headlights, J. Brown, a sheepman and L. R. Taft. justice of the peace at Superior. col lided on Tempe road at eleven o'clock last night, ruined two automobiles, es- capped miraculously with their parties and became convinced of the pro- priety of a dinner ordinance.
 Taft was coming into Phoenix, when, near the bridge this side of the power house, he saw Browns lights. Noticing that the other car was head ing for him, he stopped on the road side and waited. Instead of swerving, Brown drove into Taft. Three women in the Brown car were uninjured, but a man, whose name was not learned leaped and was bruised rather badly Neither Taft nor his companion, Phil lips was hurt.
 The Brown car lost it's radiator and engine, but the lights, though torn from their mOorings, continued to burn. The Taft car had it's fender springs and running board crumpled in the impact and both lights smash ed. A Fike stage took the injured man into Tempe and the others came to Phoenix in a passing car.
 The Superior man stated he would henceforth be a firm advocate of a dinner ordinance. He attributes the accident solely to the fact that each driver was blinded by the searching glare of the others lights.
