that great army OF busy workers,
whether in factory, office, church or
cluo, who scarcely take time to eat
and even forget to eat-these are
they who suffer the torments so
graphically described by the martyr
to dyspepsia, Carlyle.
We must never forget that no business
Is so important as the preservation OF
heaith and everything else must conform
TO that. If your duties interfere with the
appointed meal hours, then appoint hours
OF your own-only be careful to preserve
a stated regularity.
Set that time aside for eating and allow
nothing to interfere with it. Eat only
what you relish. Don't take up every
fad and fancy advocated by extremists
The man who has done so much to give
US pure foods, DR.. Wiley former chief
of the bureau of chemistry at Washing
ton tells US there is no such thing as sne-
cial brain" food. All good food properIv
eaten Is food alike for nerve and muscle
as 1t is all converted into blood that
shows no favoritism to this, that, or the
other.

The air is full Of rumors Just at the
present time as to what the different
manufacturers will have to offer the
buying public for 1917. The 1916 season is
far from over as yet, but II is quite Gus
tomary at this season of the year for
the annual crop OF next years rumors
to start on their rounds and IL they did
not spring up we would feel that some
thing was missing.
The rush of business this year has
compelled some of the dealers to employ
men to do nothing but teach new owners
how to handle their cars Usually this
work is part of the job for the salesman
who closes the deal, but owing to the un-
precedented demand for cars and the in
ability to get them as wanted. many have
found II impossible to perform this task
Rather than turn car over to a GUS
toner just at the time when he is really
solving the intriCacies of driving and let
ting him shift for himself. they have put

teachers, who see to II that they under
stand the machine properly before being
trusted alone with II. 1t pays, for to see
an owner stalled on the car track oil

ing for the car. especially when the ma

Habits and the Man.

Patients will not carry out a phy-
slclans advice unless they are ex-
tremely ill That is a human trait
We want to be told. but we dislike
TO do what we are told. The will is
sluggish There is no royal road to
iame, neither is there to health and
beauty unless one happens to be one
OF those rare people with a wonderful
constitution and abundant good looks
but even in such a case middle life
usually brings with IL an undue in
crease in weight, and, unless the soul
Is hne one, the face takes on an un-
pleasant expression that betrays the
inner man.
II Is no more difficult to pursue the
laws of health than to abuse them
Some err from ignorance, others from
inertia, and others again lack the
VIII power to alter their mode of Iiy-
ing. Habit is a heavy tax master-It
is as easy to cultivate good habits as
II is to acquire bad ones.
All good things must come from
within That is one of natures mex
orable laws, but We ignore Il a dozen
times day. and then wonder that we
are not gifted" with a beautiful COM
plexlon, with steady nerves, with a
lovely manner, with poise, and ell the
other qualities that go to make IN an
attractive ensemble
None Of these can be permanently
attained without good health; that is
the foundation. they are the super
structure. Good health depends pri-
marily-upon the state of the blood.
and as the blood Is derived from the
food in the process of digestion you
see what tremendous Importance this
function Immediately assumes.
II is safe to say that Indigestion is
almost always due to indiscretions in
diet--diet includes not only what we
eat, but how we eat IL. A crust of
bread and a glass of water are more
conducive to good health and long
life. IL taken properly and with good
cheer, than the most abundant meal

surroundings.
Then there are certain practices of
eating that soon become habits. and
as man is creature of habit II is

TO DETECT SMUGGLING
OF ARMS INTO MEXICO

ciated with the rumor of smuggling.
These reports are again strength
ened by the actions of military Of
ficers in Calexico, who have stationed
extra guards at the authorized cross
ings leading from Calexico into Mexi-
cali. This week it was reported that
a heavily loaded wagon had succeeded
in passing at the lockwood Street
crossing in Calexico at an early hour
one morning. 1t is said that the con-
tents of the wagon were supposed to
be arms. The additional guard was
Immediately placed after this occur

The force of the United States GUS
tom men on duty at Calexico is linn

line riders allotted to that port being
entirely inadequate to properly police

is said, when an additional entry cross

COLLEGE MEN
READY FOR
BANQUET

County Secretary Neil Locke of the
Y. M. C. A. is calling attention to the
approaching "get together" banquet at
the Barbara Worth hotel on the even
ing of December 8.
DR.. E. H. McGrew of King College,
Ia. will be the principal speaker. The
following is Mr.. Locke's plea for a
large attendance:
Whatever your college or year,
time cannot obliterate the memories
of those days that you and the other
fellows fought, bled and died togeth-
er for the old Alma Mater.
"In the desert of exes, collateral,
theses and quizzes, there was an oc-
casional oasis in the form of a stag
Go, jolly-up staged by the college Y.
NJ. c. A. that helped you for while
to forget that you were trying to
make the folks at home proud of you
and sent you back to the daily grind
with renewed pep to "hit the star dust
trail' of the learned highbrow.
"What we're trying to say is, that
on Friday night, December 8, at 1880
r. M, in the ballroom of the Barbara
Worth hotel, the college men of the
county will gather to enjoy together
one of those old time nerve easers
and we want you there. Come and
forget for couple of hours that the
mortgage is due and the wife wants
new hat and the baby needs some
shoes and the bank balance registers
fourth down and $$$$ to raise. Bor-
row one bone from your father-in-law
and join the bunch on the Sth. You'll
go back millionaire of cheerfulness
and filled with a desire to live your
life all over again even if you are
married.
BRUSH up on the old yells and
songs. Other has beens will be there
to join in the racket. Come fortified
to hear some of the keenest wit the
county possesses, e. g., Joe Seymour,
Tom Stevenson, Phil Brooks, Paul
Dougherty and others of greater or
less renown and ability. E. W. Nc
Grew, Ph.D., King College, Iowa, will
be the main speaker of the OCCASION"

The fact that stage men have been
requested by the federal government
to assist in the detection of those en-.
gagged in smuggling arms and ammu-
milton into Mexico from the United
States and the arrival here today of
George ]. Caruthers of Ell Paso, for
r1erly special agent dispatched from
Washington to Mexico City, has caused
considerable speculation as to ap-
troaching events, shadows of which
are interpreted to indicate that at
tsmpts are now being made to get a
ou antity of munitions across the bor-
Ger.
1t has become known that ship
ments of arms and ammunition have
been made from the East and these
consignments have been closely fol-
lowed by agents of the government.
At just what point it is proposed to
attempt the smuggling is, natural
ly, known only to those engaged in
the business.
The attitude of Governor Esteban
Cantu toward the de facto government
