cry that makes an old face look years
younger. If your skin is dark, brown,
or covered with freckles or blemishes,
just use little Cocotone Skin White
ner; it s made with cocoanut oil and
is perfectly harmless. A few days use
will improve your looks 100 per cent.
The wornout skin comes off evenly,
leaving no evidence Of the treatment,
the new healthy underskin appearing
as a lovely new complexion.
Just ask your druggist for an ounce
Of Cocotone Skin Whitener, and if he
will not supply you send twenty five
cents to The Cocotone Co., Atlanta, Ca,
and they will send oyu trial box by
return mail.
If your hair is hard to comb, is kinky
happy and will never stay straight, just

become straight, long, soft, glossy and
beautiful in a few days mail orders
filed for large box.

These are twin evils. Persons suffer
ing from indigestion are often troubled
with constipation. Mrs. Robert Ali
son, Nation, ILL.,, writes that when she
first moved to Nation she was a great
sufferer from indigestion and constipa-
ton. Food distressed her and there
was feeling like heavy weight pres
sing on her stomach and chest. She
did not rest well at night, and felt,
worn out good part Of the time. One
bottle of Chamberlain s Tablets correc-
ted this trouble so that she has since
felt like a different person.

The life Of the lily is but a few

for furnishing every living thing; and
these include the valuable phosphate SO

today. Argo-Phosphate is rich in these
, wonderful elements. It contains them
in concetrated tablet form which is

and absorbed into the system, and from
youth to old age, builds and rebuilds

TAKES THE FEE

There is an old saying that "Nature
cures, the doctor takes the fee,' but as
everyone knows you can help Nature
very much and thereby enable it to eff
feet a cure in much less time than is
usually required. This is particularly
true Of colds. Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy relieves the lungs, iquifies
the tough mucus and aids in it's expec-
toration, allays the cough and aids Ma
ture in restoring the system to heal
thy condition.

 St. Johns farmers are raising the largest crops that have been produced here in many years. A temporary court decree distributing the waters of the Little Colorado river and placing Joseph Stradling as commissioner has caused the water users further up the river to share up with St. Johns farm- CTS and they have had a good yield on their fields.
 In Metrioso, Alpine Eager and Springerville, the farmers are producing more wheat than for some years past, so that Apache county will have part of it's bread this year

BOSTON, Aug 1G.--Frederick E. Alexander and Harold Throckmorton If New York will meet Irving Wright and Harry C. Johnson of Boston tomorrow in the finals of the national doubles patriotic tournament at the Longwood Cricket Club as all j;itcome of todays matches. Alex trdei, many times holder of the doubles title with II. H. Hackett, and young Throckmorton earned their place in the finals by a five set Vi tory over N w Niles, Boston and T. E. Peli, New York
 With the match two sets to one against him, Alexander was obliged to uncover all his old time skill and strategy to beat back his opponents For ThroeknoTton who had been playing brilliantly in the tournament, was unable to withstand the severe game which Pell and Niles directed against him. Johnson and Wright got into the finals by winning hard four set match from F. s. 1nman New York, and J. c. Strachan, Sar Francisco, owing largely to the fine placement shots of Johnson, the state singles champion.
 In the women's singles, Miss Molla Bjurstedt of Norway will resume her | duel with Miss Mary Browne of Cal | ifornia in the finals tomorrow. Miss | Bjurstedt, who is the national cham pion, easily defeated Mrs. E. 2. Cole l H., of Boston, while Miss Browne won in straight sets from Miss Ele- anora R. Sears, the Boston expert.
