FLOUR is GREAT
FOR CONSTITUTION

Recently E. T. Green, claim ad-
juster of the Ray Con-, took the ex-
animation for the aerial service Of
Uncle Sam at San Diego. Natur-
ally he passed the examination and
being of rather slight build he de-
cided he should use every method
to make himself as fit for war;
rior as possible. Subsequently he
bought supply of Sanatogen, known
the world over as the greatest con-
stitution builder ever put on the
market. 1t was Green's habit to
take good sized dose of this won-
derfuI invigorator before each meal
and that is the reason for this
story.
One day last week several Of his
messmates, including "Red" Keller,
Lester BIackner and George WaId,
decided to play a little trick on
Green. They unearthed his can of
Sanatogen. The stuff has the ap-
pearance of flour, so they replaced
the constitution medicine with
flour and then sat down to the table
to await results. Soon Mr.. Green
arrived land never dreaming the
boys had changed his medicine for
flour mixed himself a ccpious dose
and down she went. The mess
mates at the time were busiIy en-
gagged in discussing the war, but
from time to time could not refrain
from a good healthy snicker be-
hind their napkins. Green noticed
this and soon had the whole story.
So now Mr.. Green keeps the con-
stitution builder in the safe and is
thinking seriously of bringing
charges against his friends for in
reference in the preparation for
war.

SANTA FE PLANS
FREIGHT CUT OFF

PRESCOTT, Ariz., July 6.-Rights-
of-way for new freight cutoff be-
tween Skull Valley and Del Rio have
been granted the Santa Fe, Prescott
and Phoenix railroad company by
stockmen in the Williamson and Skull
valleys. The new road as proposed
would be about IS miles in length, and
would leave the present line at Del
Rio, % miles north of Prescott, and
passing southwest through the Will
hanson valley via Simmons, would
join the main line again at Skull Val
ley, % miles southwest of here. The
new line would be about Is miles
shorter than the present route, and
would have the advantage of easy
grades. Three and four engines are
now required to move freight trains
over the divide south of Prescott at
the present time, and with the in
creasing amount of tonnage from the
Jerome district, it is believed that the
new low-grade line will be constructed
as soon as possible.
