An Excellent Remedy for Coughs
and Colds.

You will look a good while before
you find a better preparation for
coughs and colds than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Mrs. George Bry.
ant, Charleston, ILL.,, in speaking of
this preparation, says, my husband
caught a hard cold that settled on his
lungs and he coughed terribly. A
neighbor advised him to try Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. He bought
a bottle of it at the drug store and
the first dose relieved him. Before
he had taken the contents of the one
bottle his cough and cold had en-
tirely disappeared" Advertisement.

How You Can Make
Hairs Quickly Disappear
(He1ps to Beauty)

Even stubborn growth of hair will
quickly vanish from the face, neck or

Bicycles Are The Gifts For Christmas
Bicycling is a pleasure and yet fills a real need

WHOSE portions of one of Presi-
 dent Wilson's recent speeches in A which he said that economy should be the watchword in the conduct of our affairs, and that sports and manly activities should continue, seem to fit the bicycle and it's service to mankind exceedingly well.
 CFor does not the bicycle afford the most economical means of transporta- tion-does it not fill the bill of afford ing complete exercise and pleasure at the same time?
 CThe bicycle is money maker and money saver. At an expense of pos sibly two to four cents per day, includ- ing the original cost and up-keepr a high grade bicycle can be supported these days.
 UA great saving in car fare can be effected instead of spending 20 cents per day for two trips to and from your home to the office you spend a fraction of 8 cent per trip when you ride bicycle.
 GAdd to that the health that you secure through the complete exercise afforded by bicycle riding and you begin to realize the value of a bicycle to you. GPhoenix is particularly fortunate in the fact that there are very nearly 365 days of fine weather in the year when the bicycle should and could be used to save money, secure health and to do all the things only a bicycle can do for you.
 
 GPhoenix folks are also very fortunate in that the fine roads paved and un- paved, in all directions, afford great fields for diversified bicycle riding. GA boy who is energetic can quickly earn the. cost of a bicycle by doing chores and errands, and so can pay in few weeks time for a pleasure that will last for several years.
 GA bicycle is no one-year investment There are hundreds of bicycles in use that have been doing their duties daily for three to five years and some for even greater periods.
 GBicycling is on the increase More women are riding bicycles every day! That's a. good sign for it indicates the upward tendency. Physicians recom- mend bicycle riding as an excellent exercise. Men and boys who ride bi- cycles all will tell you of their con- venience, comfort and pleasures Everybody will tell you they save time.
 So you see-it behooves you to heed the call of the bicycle You should get the pleasure. exercise, time saving and money saving values of the bicycle as your own. Investigate this thing, Go around to one of these reputable deaI- CTS in bicycles and talk it over.

used in the Guard camps amounted to S2,37O carloads, and 9,s49 carloads have been shipped into the aviation camps.
 A standard box car of 100000 pounds capacity is forty feet and six inches long. If all the cars carrying material for these three classes of comps could be coupled together, the train that would result would extend from New York to Chicago and out to Evanston. III.
 That is d long train. 1t represents a great burden on to the task accom- plished by the railroads in the record ! breaking year of 1916. But the car rying of construction materials to the cantonments is only a small part of the total increase in traffic for 1917.
 After the camps had been built, the railroads had to move the men into
 them. They have also had to carry to
 the Atlantic seaboard, from all parts of the country, the men who have
 gone to France. Up ii November 1s, they had carried Q total of 1900, 900 soldiers to camps and ports of em- barkation.
 And after the men have been moved, | the railroads have to carry supplies to them. Every. day 2,500 carloads of | food and coal are being hauled to the national guard and national army camps alone.
 . Up to November F, a total of IT, 900 carloads of freight had been handled for the shipping board. This figure
 represents a part of the traffic in
Arizona republican., 1917-12-21

volved by the building of 1to0 new ships. An enormously greater number of cars have rolled down to Atlantic and Gulf ports loaded with supplies and munitions for ships already built to carry to France and England and Italy.
 Al modern military and commercial activity is based on coal and oil-but especially on coal. No figures reveal more clearly the extent of the in- creased effort put forth in the last half year by America generally and by the railroad in particular than the figures on the coal traffic
 In the six months from May to October, inclusive, there were moved 150,000 more carloads of hard coal than in the same months of 1916, and 751,0O0 more carloads of soft coal Figuring an average coal car at a length of B feet, the total increase for half of 1917 over the correspond ing half of 1916 may be represented by a solid trainload of coal extend ing from New York, through New Orleans, to Los Angeles and on up the coast to Seattle, and then east again to a point in Montana, 50 miles east of Butte.
 The day is past when it was the good citizens duty to fight the rail- roads. The railroads are doing their best on a tremendous job. The citi zen can do part of his bit by helping them in any small way that he can.

FAVOR REDUCED
 PRICE IF COAL

Federal Fuel Administrator Will l.. Clark has asked that the fuel admin istration of New Mexico promptly make re-examination of cost of pro- duction Of coal at the Gallup mines under increased tonnage conditions and, if advisable, to reduce the price to S4.50 per ton of domestic lump coal. Lately this was raised to s495 despite an impression that the addi- tional allowance was unwarranted by conditions. The Gallup mines recent ly have installed electric coal cutting machinery and report considerable gain in their working force, while railroads have been able to furnish cars for loading. so that retail dealers in Arizona report material additions in their storage stocks of domestic coal.
 The fuel oil supply for industrial purposes seems to be satisfactory. A considerable gain in oil storage has been obtained and there is advantage in the new method of trainload deliv- cries and prompt return of empty tank cars.

not have been so suspicious.
They had been married only three
years. It seemed a very little while

She was dark-eyed, dark-haired, with

Yes. she is. Grace has changed.
We used to be so happy" He spoke
in a disconsolate, regretful way as
though Ioath to part with the, love of
those years.
But Phyllis was thinking only of
her own love for this man. She had
never thought much about anything
further than the qualification of her
own desires. To lead John Lester
back to a renewed allegiance to his
his wife would never enter her mind.
That he was married and even owed
such an allegiance had not occurred

Seventy thousand British troops, helped by the indomnitable French, did all that men could do to hold back the mass of German forces. The British navy. perfectly organized, prevented the landing of German troops on the French Coast and killed the German mercantile marine. But Germany gained a great deal of ground at the very start not entirely because of her own streingth, but by reason largely of the inability of the Allies to meet her at that period on any thing like equal terms.

LORD NORTHCLIFFE DECLARES WAR WILL
 BE A LONG AFFAIR

Under date of Dec. 1 in London Lord Northcliffe gave out an inter- view from which the following ex- tracts are taken:
 I have from the beginning seen this war as long war. l wish l could tell you that 1 believe it is nearing it's end. But in the light of what I know, we must still be pre- pared for it's lasting a long time.
 It is not a pleasant task, that of warning people against letting their wishes be fathers to. their thoughts They are always prone to this habit. There were far more of the Ameri- can nation who believed the Civil War would be short one than of those who saw that it was bound to last long time The latter were laughed at and reviled, but the Civil war went on for four years.
 It would be easier and more agree able for me to feed people with false anticipations, to Hull them with sooth- ing assurances, to lead them to a Fools Paradise of misleading beliefs. I have had not only during the war but for years before it broke out the thankless task of telling the un- palpable truth.
 When the feeling of the world was that the Prussians must have gone mad to provoke France, Russia and l England at the same moment, knew that there was great deal of method in their madness. When hope was cherished that the war would be over in three months l made all my personal arrangements to meet continuation of hostilities for sev eral years. When the mass of people in England were expecting that a huge British army would be ready in the spring of 1915 and that its offensive would immediately clean Belgium and the north of France, was sorrowfully aware of a great many reasons why the fulfilment Of this expectation was quite impos sible

And I knew also that a long time must elapse before France or England, or the whole world would be in position to oppose Germany with an equal force.
 The English, with a few exceptions had not contemplated taking part in war on the continent of Europe Blind leaders of the blind had told them that so long as they kept ur their naval power, they had nothing to fear. Lord Roberts wore out the last of his waning vitality in a vain effort to make them understand why universal military service was needed for their security and for the security of the world from the dis. aster which hung over 1t.
