years ago it had two dry counties; to-
day it has eleven. In 1911 there was

Largest Dry CITY in America

Petograd, Russia, is of course the
largest dry city in the world, and Tor
onto, Canada, with 100000 population,
becomes by the Ontario prohibition
act the largest dry city in America.
By this act the province win be un-
der absolute prohibition for three
years, then a plebiscite will be taken
on the question of its remaining dry
permanently.
Ontario reverses the method OF the
States in going dry. The provincial
legislature first enacts a prohibition
law, then submits it to a vote of the
people.

Today's Poem
THE PERFECT DAY

THE PERFECT DAY
She always kept everything perfect
ly clean
From the cellar clear up to the top;
For neatness and order she surely
was keen
And no one could get her to stop
Her husband could never find comfort
at home
For fear he would muss up the
place
Where his wife, with broom and
buster would roam
With stern sort of look on her
face.
She never had time to be reading a
book,
She never had time for call,
Instead she was scrubbing some COR
ner or nook
Or sweeping the stairs or the hall
She swept all her beauty and glad
ness away,
She swept all the JOY out of life
Until she became an automaton gray
A cleaning machine-not wife.
She scrubbed all the love from the
heart of her spouse,
Her children were playless and
glum,
She had her reward-an immaculate
house
Where nobody ever would come.
She swept and she busted and scrub
bed like slave
Till she swept herself into the
tomb,
And the monument now at the head
of her grave
Is buster, a brush and a broom!
-Berton Braley.

"By theway, Mr.. Early, do you re-

Steamed Corn Bread.-There are

this may be varied by adding differ

HURRY OUT

TWO HUNDRED REACH DOUGLAS
- MANY OTHERS, EMPLOYEES
IN MINING DISTRICT, CHOOSE
TO REMAIN.

Douglas, Ariz., March IA train
bringing approximately two hundred
Americans and one hundred MeX1cans
from Nacozari reached Aqua Prieta
Tuesday afternoon. The Mexicans
said they did not come because they
feared any complications between Car
rama and the United States but be-
cause of reports that Villas men
might invade Sonora.
Employees at FL Tigre had decided
that the situation did not warrant
their leaving, and remained at work,
so the passengers reported. But Am
orleans from the Montezuma Copper
company came away leaving the
properties in the hands of MeXicans.
Three Americans who may come out
tomorrow are at Nacozari but the Am
orleans in camps south of Nacozari
who had been notified of the trouble
are staying on, not believing, they
said, that the United States is in ear
nest about the affair.
The Americans on the train said
there was no real necessity for com.
ing but they were glad they had
reached the border. When the train
left Nacozari their Mexican friends
gave them farewell receptions at the
station and expressed the hope they
would return soon.
Between / 900 and 200 soldiers are

which was out drilling.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
Take Salts to flush Kidneys if
Back hurts or Bladder
bothers.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says noted
authority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to eXpel it
from the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken, then you suffer
with a dull misery in the kidney re-
gion, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full
of sediment, the channels often get
sore and irritated, obliging you TO
seek relief two or three times during
the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste, get fom
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations TO flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer irr.tates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is Inexpensive; cannot in
lure. and makes delightful effcryes-
cent uthia-water drink.

CARRYING AN EGG

One Of the amusing things in nation
al politics at this time Is to observe
the caution which our republican
friends are using in an effort to keep
friction out of the party. The local
situation probably reflects the situation
all over the country. The republicans
are carrying an egg in an exposed
place and the shell is likely to be
broken at any time. There are diff
ferences in that party which creates a
gulf as deep as that which separates
the democrats from the republicans,
yet they are trying to harmonize When
a Roosevelt and a TAFT republican
meet, they talk, harmony but when
two Taft men get together they quietly
plan to keep the others out of the con
and when the Roosevelt fel-
lows congregate, they plan to keep the
regulars out of honors. SO fearful are
they that they will break the egg
which every republican of the politi-
clan class is carrying, that the locals
will not even engage in any fight on
the election of a national committee
man, That egg is likely to be broken !
At any time They talk harmony to I
he outside world, but there will be
many eyes turned upon the committee
which appoints the delegates. If it
should come to the surface that one
action is being given an advantage |
over another, the old division in the
larty win be worse than it ever was
Jefore.

EIGHTY PER CENT ILLlTERATE

We do not know but that after all
Villa is the shrewdest leader in his
country. He evidently did not care
TO punish the people of Columbus, but
there is most likely a deeper meaning
to his act of outlawry on this side Of
the line 1t is barely possible that he
reasoned the matter out that inter.
Vention would be the result of raid.
That even if he did not have an oppor-
tunity to control Mexico, that Carran-
"a would also be denied that distinc-
ton. But if Villa made this estimate
he has been wrong so far, as this coun-
try has not attempted intervention. 1t
has attempted to catch him and bring
him back to New Mexico for trial.
What a jury will do in his case, Villa
knows very well and he will not sur.
render. His only hope now lies in
arousing the bitterness of Mexico
against this country, his only hope
lies in his ability to have the republic
come to his standard to resist inva-
sion. In a nation where eighty per
cent of the people are illiterates, in a
country that has been at war for five
years, in a country where there is no
justice for the man who tills the soil
and in nation that is largely con-
trolled by the church, there is no way
of estimating how much bitterness can
be implanted against our country and
it is possible after all that Villa has
calculated the situation on correct
basis and that he will become the fore
most leader by raising a cry against
invasion.

For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be car

material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates

absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishment
to sustain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
