OLD VETERAN IN NEW ARMY
seventy.Two.Year.old Man is Now
Somewhere in France Serving
Uncle Sam as Cook.

Age seems to he no barrier for serv-
Zee in the army.
For instance. says the Indianapolis
News, there is Charley June. All the
Dld-timers remember June. who years
ngo supplied the fish. and game for
hundreds of indianapolis tables. His
place of business was opposite the
traction terminal station, and III was
his boast that he could furnish my
thing that could fly OF swim.
June is n veteran of the Civil war
and when war with Germany was de-
clared his old fighting spirit was re-
yived. Because of his age, seventy
w years, he did not feel qualified to
shoulder Il musket and go forth to
Stay, yet he wished to do his bit for
Uncle Sam, so he went out to Fort
Harrison as Il cook.
He served during the first officers
training camp and made good with u
vengeance. Then an entirely unexpect-
ed honor was thrust upon him. He
was invited to go to France and cook
for the boys in the trenches. The
proposition nearly took his breath.
but it did not take him long to make
up his mind.

German Xmas Toys "VerbOten''
 In United States

This may be tipping off the hand of Santa Claus, but
 Liberty toys are coming across the continent for the kiddies of the west.
 They are loyal Yankee toys-not an enemy alien among them.
 Time was when the mark made in Germany" was the proper credential for toy in this country, but that's all gone now. German dolls are ''verbo- ten" Other countries are too busy for toy making, and if they weren't, ship space would be needed for some thing else. There will be no toys from the Orient because of the demand for steamers.
 But the liberty toys, made by clever and nimble American fingers, Sammy Dolls" ''Red Cross Dolls" "Pershing Dolls," and Hoover Dolls" are already arriving.
 These are troubulous days for the railroads, but the word has gone out that there must be no embargo against Santa Claus.
 So the toys will be here in sufficient supply, though the added cost of ma terials is reflected in many a price tag.

Arizona May Stop
 Road Work Until
 Kaiser is Beaten

YUMA, Ariz-, Nov. 2S.-The state of Arizona may forego all proposed road building in the state for the pe- riod of the war, and offer it's road building crews to the federal govern ment to be used in building roads in France.
 This suggestion has come to Gov ernOr Campbell from State Engineer Tom Maddoclk, and the governor has taken it under advisement. If the sug- gestion is adopted, it will probably mean, according to Mr. Maddock, that the proposed work now authorized will not be begun, and the funds appropri- ated will be allowed to rest in the state treasury until peace has been de- clared.
 Mir. Maddock said his suggestion was the result of his conviction that the federal government will need all the experienced road builders it can get, in order to extend existing ar teries near the battle fronts and to extend the system as the troops are shifted about. He also said the in- creasing demand for engineers and contractors is making it difficult for the state to carry on it's work with

NORMAL GIRLS DENY
 PATRIOTIC KISS" STORY

Girls of the State Normal at Flag staff are greatly perturbed over a story going the rounds of the state press concerning the Patriotic Kiss" and fits evil consequences. The ed itor of the Williams News started things recently when he published an article stating that one of the Nor nal girls had become i'll with the smallpox as the result of kissing a soldier when one of the troop trains passed through.
 The Normal girls deny the story of the Patriotic Kiss" in toto, but ad- init that one of the girls has been quarantined on account of smallpox. Just how and where she got the small pox is not stated. But it is vehement ly asserted that she did not become inoculated in doing her "bit' for her country in the first line osculation trenches. a -... ....-. .rs-r --a-..-
 Just why the girls should be so iras- ci5le concerning duty which French girls jumped at to perform, is hard to understand. In fact, it might be said that they are "backsliding", be- cause it has come to be tradition that the uniform is an object of adoration.
 But here is how the Normal girls feel about the Patriotic Kiss:

sired permit, recommendations will be made by the Commission to the At torney General that criminal proceed ings be brought against the promoters of the company.
 MT. Jones stated at this hearing that the Commission is in great need of more liberal appropriations for the work of Investigating the merits of corporations applying for stock-sell- ing privileges, especially insofar as they concern the mining industry. Be cause of the scanty appropriations at the Commissions disposal, which have made it impossible to conduct thor ough investigations, the Commission has been compelled to choose between the evil of granting stock-selling priv ileges without full knowledge of the integrity of the promoters or the mer- it's of the property owned by the appli- cants, and the evil of withholding per mission for want of this knowledge, thus arbitrarily placing a serious handicap on the mining industry. Of the two evils the members of the com mission often choose what they re- garded as the least: That of granting the permit.
 MT. Jones hopes that the coming legislature will take cognizance of the needs of the Commission and provide more ample funds for it's operation.

 Gentlemen:
 In your issue of November 15, the first thing that fell to my startled gaze was your acrimonious article Patriotic Kiss and Its, Unexpected Results" As citizen of Williams, I must say | felt chagrined.
 Please allow me, as a student of the Northern Arizona Normal School, and one who is also in the hall of quar- antine, and therefore in a position to know the truth, to state some facts which may help to straighten your dis ilLusioned mind. True ONE of our girls has the smallpox and was remov- ed by county authorities to a place of quarantine. I happen to know that at the time the troop trains passed through she was ill and unable to meet the trains.
 Bury Hall has been quarantined and every measure of precaution has been taken. In spite of the fact that we are not allowed to cross the chalkline, we are all well and happy.
 l want to thank you in behalf of the other Patriotic Girls" of the school for your kindly concern in our vel fare.
 Very truly yours,

This examina- tion is made shortly after the arrival of the livestock Animals showing symptoms of disease are tagged U. s. Suspect and set apart for more de- tailed examination.
 Slaughter of animals condemned on the hoof is not permitted to be done on the killing floors of inspected es- tablishments. These animals must be sent to the separate establishment provided for that purpose. After the product is put in tanks, covered with crude oil and subjected to 40-pound steam pressure for eight hours, it may be used for inedible greases and fer tilizer.

 Meat which passes government in spection is not only free from disease and taint, but slaughtered under mod ern conditions of cleanliness. All in- struments used in dressing are steri- lized and the men employed in this work wear clean washable aprons and frOcks.

Everyone Should Drink Hot Water
 in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poisons before
 breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipa- ton, bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom- ach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe outside. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well-known physician.
 To keep these poisons and toxins we'll flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day, a glass of hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimen- tary tract, before putting more food into the stomach.
 Get quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot wa ter every morning to rid your system of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation.
 To- feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an ac- emulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing. sweetening and purifying, so limestone phosphate and hot wa ter before breakfast, act on the stom- ach, liver, kidneys and bowels.-Adv.
