SANDY PEOPLE WANT
 ROAD OVER WALLAPAIS

A petition to the board of supervis- ors asking that they look into the pos abilities of a road to pass through the Walnut Creek section of the Wal lapais and making short route to the Sandy has been circulated about town and now has the signatures of nearly all of the business people of the town and will shortly have the signatures of everyone else as well. This route would bring the Sandy and the mining sections of the Wallapai mountains twenty-five miles nearer to Kingman and would greatly facilitate matters, financial and otherwise for the town of Kingman and the other points in question.

BERING SEA SALMON
 VERY POOR THIS YEAR

SEATTLE, Wash, August 1O.-The Boring sea salmon pack is reported extremely poor. One large company has closed its canneries and brought back its men five weeks earlier than usual, there being no fish in their us- ual runways. This company in its Bearing sea canneries put up only one fourth it's last years pack. The Der ing sea season opened unfortunately, with the loss of three sailing ships loaded with cannery supplies and crews. There was no loss of life, but vessels and cargoes were a total loss.
 Western and southwestern Alaska are reported producing 70 per cent of a full pack. Southeastern Alaska has more fish than the canneries can take care of.
 Up to August the sockeye salmon run on Puget Sound, the quadrennial big run, had been disappointing, but canners say there is plenty of time yet for the fish.

STATE SCHOOL LANDS
 VITALLY AFFECTED

SANTA FEE, N. M., August 10- Incident to the decision in a case in- volving funds of the state agricul- tural college, the New Mexico su- preme court decided questions con corning school lands that may have a peculiar value to the states to which the national government has granted lands as a school endowment.
 The court held that lands granted in this way were to be held, o., if sold, that their proceeds were to be held, safely invested. This set at rest the belief of many that the pro ceeds of the lands might be used as fast as they accrued.

HouU Much the
 Little Heroes
 Need Our Help!

It is less theatrical to give bowl of soup to a hungry, frightened little child than to stanch the wound of a fallen soldier in the fighting line, but the American Red Cross has underta- ken to care for the suffering civilians in war-torn Europe as well as to nurse the wounded fighters. These little ones are just as heroic, in their way, as any man who charges the German guns. And the children are often wounded, too.
 Here is an extract from a letter written by Mrs. Marian Bonsa1 Davis, who was for six months a volunteer worker in France, among those non combatants who are almost hourly in danger from German guns and bombs {:
 Because so many bombs fall on the town of Nancy, and because the place is sometimes bombarded, the children all know that on a certain signal they must run into the cellar of the nearest house marked with the great red cross There, perhaps, they will have protec- ton.
 . There are children in the hospitals, victims of the bombs. There is one little girl, both legs taken of by a German bomb, hugging tight her dolly, with never a smile on her grave face.
 There are two little boys who also suffered amputations because of the bombs. They begged to be allowed to lie in the hospital ward with the wounded soldiers, and when the sol diers heard of the request they smiled

Clear, PeaChy Skin Awaits Anyone Who
 Drinks Hot Water
Says an Inside bath, before break fast helps US look and feel
 clean, sweet, fresh.

Sparkling and vivacious-merry, bright, alert-a good, clear skin and a natural, rosy, healthy complexion are assured only by pure blood. If only every man and woman could be induced to adopt the morning inside bath, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of the thousands of sickly, anaemic-looking men, women and girls, with pasty or muddy complexions; insteai of the multi tudes of nerve wrecks,' ''rundowns," "brain flags" and pessimists we should see a virile optimistic throng of rosy-cheeked people everywhere.
 An inside bath is had by drinking each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kid neys and ten yards of bowels the pre- vious days indigestible waste, sour lamentations and poisons, thus cleansing, sweetenin5 and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Those subject to sick headache, bil- iousness. nasty breath, rheumatism, colds; and particularly those who have a pallid, sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but a trife, but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remark able change in both health and appear ance, awaiting those who practice in- ternal sanitation Ne must remem- Der that inside cleanliness is more tm- portant than outside, because the skin does not absorb impurities to con taminate the blood while the pores in the thirty feet of bowels do.

NEW PROFESSOR IN ADDRESS
Dr. IS. G. Youngert Comments Upon
Progress Made by Institution
in Recent Years.

AGguslana's first faculty reception
held in tle new gymnasium last night

the school calendar The hall was
thronged with students, faculty and
friends Of Aug1sta1a and q most de-
GghtRuI social evening vas spent by
all ia attendance.
AS soon as ali the guests had ar
rived and gone down the long line of
receiving faculty members President
G. .. Andreen mounted the platform
and preluded the program with q
short address of welcome. He de-
clarad that never had the Augustana
receiving line been SO long as at the
present and that the number OF stu
dents in aIl aepartu auts justified the
increase fn the force Of Instructors
DIT Andrean Introduced DR. :. O..
1gungert of the seminary.
Or. E0ungert, besides attending
college ana the seminary az Angus
ta1a, was instructor at the institution
from 1900 70 1912 and the intervening
I've years 10 the present time he has
spent fir the east. from where he has
come back 10 Augustaua this year
Thus. he was able to speak both as
an Instructor Of experience in the
school and also as man who had
aEeU en- lGs OUTSIDE Tor NUMBER or
years He made a short comment on
the standing Of Ausustana, declaring
taat her students were allowed full
credit anywhere in this country and
also ID the larger universities Of Eur
ope- without examination He de-
ulared that it seemed TO him bait
short time since he had been at Au-
sustans ana that, aside from the great
progress of the school everything ap-
peared natural and as il was when
he bad left FIVE years ago.

Or. 1ouusert was followed 10y Priu-
opal A. J. Burton of the Rock Island

Dispute 0rer Fridenca

Long arguments over the admission
Of the testimony OF Fred L. Ianaon
before the coroner's jury and the
grand jury by attorneys for both sides
occupied an entire day in the trial OF
Nanno1 for the murder OF Wini1red
Willis by abortion.
Attorneys c. J. Sea-la Of Rock Is
land and Homer D. Dimes Of this city
objected 10 the admission Of the testf-
no1y before the corouer's jury On the
ground that it was not Mannon S words
and was not his entire testimony. L
was written by H O. Baner, clerk Of
the coroners Jury. in long hand. and
he stated on the witness stand that
he did not write all the evidence and
that Aann0n did not read it. nor was
it read 10 him before he signed the
paper.
Attorneys j. NJ Wilson and Henry
Burgess. for the state. based their
claim for its admission on the ground
that 1t was made voluntarily. as Man
non could not be compelled 10 give
any testimony which would impiicate
himself. Judge Church ruled TO allow
the evidence OF Manp0n before the cor
Oner's jury to be admitted after the at
toTneys had argued the case over half
the day.
The jury was recalled and Prose
cutting Attorney Wilson stated the
examination of DR.. A. N Mackey. cor
0ner Dr. Iackev told of subp0enaeine
Mannon and state that he mad testified
before the jury. He did not remem-
Der what Maunon said until he read
the witnesses statement as taken by
Clerk Baner. He did not remembe
whether MannoR read the evidence he
fore he signed il bat he did know that
1t was not read to him Baner was
not placed ON the stand before the
jury. but only in the argument over
the admission Of the testimony. The
state next move w8s to introduce
the testimony Of Mannon before the
grand jury Attorney Searle objected
and the 1ury was sent out after only
being in the box 20 minutes. The state
called =. L. Burke. who was baiIiff Of

porter in the circuit court He resti- +
Hed that AaunOn appeared before she
