The North drift from fifty-foot level
in Eberle mine in the Mogollon dis.
trict continues in ore, and shipment

The shaft on Johnson mine at Mo-

Ore has been exposed for the entire
depth. A small compressor plant will
be installed at once.
A cross-cut Is being driven from adit
level on Clifton mine to determine To-

Children love this fruit laxative"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result Is
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full Of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhea. Listen,

give teaspoonful of california

the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the sys-
TEN, and you have a well child again.
Millions of mothers give california

harmless; children love it, and 1t new

eERMANy,s LACK OF FOOD.

Some idea of what the conditions
are that are prevailing in Germany
today is furnished by the reports
which are being given to the world
through some of the neutral countries.
These show that there is a decided
state of unrest there that labor is
getting dissatisfied and that the peo-
pie III general are opposing the re-
auctions which the government finds
it necessary to make in the food all
lowances. Onicial German dispatches
however, endeavor to minimize the
situation. 1t is OF course an effort to
suppress information as to what is
going on within even as there has
been the denial of information to those
within as to what was going on in
the outside world.
But the grave nature of the situa-
ton becomes plain when Hindenburg
makes his appeal to the workers not
to hamper the fighting forces by
maintaining the strikes, by putting
forth revolutionary demands and by
stopping production in the munitions
factories. Such activities against the
military, purpose of the government
are bound to cause serious results. 1t
is sure to affect the armies wherever
they are operating. whether it be on
the eastern or western front
Germany has proved that it has a
great fighting machine. Provisions
for building 1t up have been seudfous1y
made for years. but while attention
has been SO faithfully given to prepar-
ing for waging war there appears to
have been too little thought given to
the securing of a food supply for an
extended conflict. Had the swift and
quick stroke at the allies. which was
expected to be successful, accomplished
what was intended. the food shortage
would not have interfered, but the
plans were frustrated and Germany
hasn't thus far been able to overcome
Its serious situation

MUST CONSERVE EooosruEFs,

In connection with the effort which
is being made for a marked increased
in the production of foodstuffS, there
cannot be too much attention directed
to the equally important matter oil
canning. 1t is possible not only fol-
those having small gardens to raise
such vegetables as they need for their
use during the season. but it is in
variably the case that there is more
than can be readily disposed of in
such a manner.
Under present day methods it is pos
sfble to save this excess garden truck
by canning it and thus making il
available not only later in the year
but through the winter. Fruit is not
the only thing which can be canned
with success and profit for the house
wife today can quickly become prof.
ctent in preserving most all the vege-
tables and even meat.
The need of giving the proper at
tentfon to preparing for this work is
emphasized by the announcement that
there is not only shortage of a bill
lion tin cans for the present canning
manufacturers of glass cans have been
unable to produce more than the nor
NAL yearly supply because of a lack
of certain elements which are required
in the manufacture of glass.
This of course means that there
must be a mobilization of all the
available jars for canning purposes.
Those who have them should do their
utmost to see that they are not allow
ed to go unused. The products OF the
orchards and the gardens should not
only be increased, but once they are
raised every effort should be put for
ward to see that they are conserved
and not wasted.
