The Macureoors,

The Macgregors were forbidden to
use their family name in 1903. The
prescription was removed by Charles
IL. only to be inflicted again in the
reign Of William and Mary. 1t was
not till 1922 that a royal license to use
the name was granted to Sir Charles
Macgregor, up to then known as "Mur-

raised against this prosecuted race,
and they could be mutilated and slain
with impunity.-London Spectator.

Eat Apples and Bananas,

Baked apples and baked or fried ba-

a vegetable and may be used with
meat instead Of the potato or onion
and at a smaller cost. Both apples
and bananas contain more food units

ARIZONA O|L WILL BUY DRILL OUTFIT
 FOR IMMEDIATE USE
Board of Directors of Com pany Possessing Property Near Keystone, Okla, De- eide on Immediate Opera ton

President Emil Marks and Secretary J. w. Hogan, of the Arizona-Oklahoma Oil and Gas Company. the property of which is located near Keystone, Okla homa, have just returned from trip to the big oil state. Both Bisbee men are more than enthusiastic over the prospects of the entire proposition and tell glowing accounts of the possibili- ties there.
 Arizona Oklahoma Oil is controlled by Warren District people and very little of the stock has been sold out side of Cochise county.
 While in Oklahoma Marks and Ho- gan secured an option on a complete we'll drilling outfit and at meeting of the board of directors, held last evening, it was voted to buy the par aphernalia and start immediate opera tions in the field.
 Reports from exports on the prop erty of the company lead the directors to the belief that the holdings are worth spending much money in devel- opment work. With crude oil selling at s2 barrel the prospects of devel- oping a successful producer are most alluring and the local people are going to take every chance of putting the Arizona-O Oklahoma in producing class.

ARIZONA YOUNG LADY GIVEN HIGH H0N0RS
 BY UNIVERSITY
Phoenix Lays Claim to Her, But Dear Old Cochise Has a Prior Right Was Born in Tombstone

Recognition of the marked ability of Miss Mary E. Stilwell, daughter of Judge William H. Stilwell of Phoenix, has come through the appointment of this Phoenix girl to the position 0f Home Vocational Extension Lecturer under the University of Minnesota. The appointment was rendered Miss Stilwell and accepted by her on the eve of the completion of her post graduate course at Columbia Univer- sity, during which she earned the de gree of Master of Arts.
 In telegram to Judge Stilwell yes terday, Miss Stilwell tells of her ac- oeptance of the position and of the strenuous life she has been leading re- gently in completing her work at Co llmbia, packing her belongings and making ready for the work in her new position. She expects to leave New York for St. Paul next Wednesday.
 Miss Stilwell was one of the most popular students at the Phoenix High School and at Tempe Normal during the years she was taking the regular courses at these institutions. Later she attended St. Lawrence University at Cantor, N Y., completing six years work in five years and receiving un- usual honors as a result After teach ing two seasons near Philadelphia. Miss Stilwell entered Columbia and has now practically completed her work there.
 In her work as home vocational ex- tension lecturer, it is probable that Miss Stilwell will be called upon to make frequent tours of Minnesota in connection with the university exten- sion work. Judge Stilwell made no pretense of concealing the pride he felt at receiving the welcome news of the recognition accorded his daughter. Phoenix Gazette.
 Phoenix may claim the young lady in question but Cochise county has a pri- or claim on her, as the young lady first saw the light of day in the county seat of Cochise county, in an abode house on Third street, where her parents lived prior to their moving from Tomb stone to Phoenix

 Transfer Of AU
 Monies ReceiUed
(By Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, August 2S-Threats of some house members to oppose ap- propriations for allied loans unless they were enlightened regarding de- tails of the transfer of moneys already authorized, caused their leaders on the ways and means committee to question Secretary McAdoo on this point today for more than three hours behind clos ed committee room doors.
 The leaders then emerged smiling and expressed satisfaction with the secretary's frankness, though still con tending that greater assurances of money being spent in the United States should be required.
 Approval of his examination was ex- pressed to the republicans by MT. Adoo fater the committee had adjourn ed. He will be recalled tomorrow to answer further questions and also to discuss generally the terms of the S11, ,53S, ,945, ,46O bond and certificate bill now before the house.
 The secretary touched upon the bill today, his outstanding statement be- ing that it is absolutely necessary that the s4,0OO, 100000 worth of bonds in the bill to finance another allied loan should be passed as quickly as possi- ble.
 Approximately s5OO,O0O, 900 monthly is needed from this country to carry the allies campaign to July l, 1918, he said and while sufficient money is in sight to last until November l after that it will be necessary to turn to the proposed new authorization for funds. The secretary's bond taxation plan which contemplates levying supertax. es and war profits and excess profits tazes on the s7,53S, ,945,460 worth of bonds proposed in the bill, was sub jected to a hot fire Opinion was di. vided after adjournment as to whether the plan would prevail
 The house adjourned otday until Thursday with a view to receiving the bill from the committee that day and pushing it through for a vote on Friday or Saturday.

MRS. JOHN 0'CONNER
 GAINS EIGHT POUNDS
Suffered From Stomach Trou- ble and Catarrh Five or Six Years-Regains Health by Taking 1anlac

Mrs. Jno. O'Conner, who lives at 33S East Oldham street, Knoxville, Tenn. called up the Kuhlman- -Chambliss Drug O., recently, and said she wanted to speak to the "Tanlac" man. When Mir. Willis answered the telephone, Mrs. O'Conner made the following re- markable statement:
 q just wanted you to know, and ev- erybody else to know, what that Tan lac medicine has done for me. Why. have gained eight pounds already, and have only been taking it for ten days. I have just finished taking the first bottle and have sent Mir. O'Con- ner back to the store this morning for another bottle. This Tanlac certainly does just what you say it will do. I began to eat better, sleep better and feel better from the very first dose, and the change in my condition has just been wonderful. had good doc tor before I began using Tanlac, but he didn't seem to understand my case, and his medicine did not seem to do ue any good, so just set it aside and quit using it.
 For the past five or six years l have been in a rundown condition nervous, weak and at times very dig gy. I had nervous headache and indi- gestion perfectly awful. My stomach was so weak couldn't digest the light est kind of food. I was nervous and depressed and slept very little. l had become so Respondent over my condi- ton thought nothing could help me. It certainly was lucky for me when { heard of Tanlac. It is not like any other medicine 1 ever tried-it seems to soothe my stomach, and is fine tonic, too, because appetite is good now, and l digest what eat. If any one had told me there was a medicine on earth that would make me gain eight pounds in ten days, would have thought them crazy.
 q don't believe there is another med lcine on earth like Tanlac. My catarrh is also a great deal better-in fact, hardly notice it any more."
 Tanlac. the wonderful medicine that accomplished such remarkable results in Mrs. O'Conner's case. is sold in Bis bee by J. M. Ball. Douglas by Douglas Drug Co.,, in Paradise by G. A. Walker in Bowie by Bowie Drug Co.,, and in San Simon by J. B. Cooke.

Opportunity for Enlisted Men in

lBy Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Enlisted men of the national army, national guard and regular army will be given every opportunity to fit themselves for commissions, it was learned today This is in line with the policy of the from civil life after the second series of officers training camps, now in progress, has been completed. There after all additional officers needed will be found in the ranks of the var ious branches of the war army.
 Officers Schools
 To carry out this plan it has vir- tually been decided to establish an Of ficers' school at each of the divisional training camps. Men from the ranks who show special qualifications will be sent to these schools. With staffs of French and British officers of ex- perience on the firing lines on duty at each camp as advisers an unusual op- portunity for lecture courses will be presented.
 No More Civilians
 The divisional officers camps will make the third series of such camps arranged by the war department to provide men to command the enor, nous forces being raised for the war. No line commissions will be granted to men from civil life after they are started except that a few men who were denied admission to the other camps through loss of their orders in the mail or some other mischance, may be given an opportunity in the third series.

BRITISH PLUNGE AHEAD

Continued From Page One) eastern Bukowina, the Russian troops again are showing signs of disaffec- tion, having near Boyany deliberately quit their trenches and retreated east, the' Austro-Germans taking the trenches they quilted. Near Novo Se- lica, the Teutonic allies have begun an offensive against the Russians and have captured several positions. In lower Moldavia in the region of kok- shani, Field Marshal von Mackensen's army has taken height positions from the Rumanians.
 North Russia Quiet.
 In Northern Russia no fighting or importance has taken place, evidently indicating that the Geramn offensive west of the Riga was the forerunner of a strong attempt to capture the Russian seaport and naval base on the Baltic.
 Germany Backs Up.
 Germany, in order to avert the ex- Oi dhObhNA enemy aligned against her. in note to Argentina has agreed to modify her submarine campaign insofar as it al- fleets Argentine ships and also to in demnify Argentina for the torpedoing of the steamer Toro.
 Takes Warning Seriously.
 Thus it seems that German has tok- en to heart the warning of her new for eign minister. Dr. von Kuhlman, that it is necessary to shape her policy tow ard neutrals so as to bring no more eombatants upon her.
 Specific Acquiesence.
 The German note says specifically that acquiesence in the demands of Argentin is made ''in order to maintain friendly relations" and it even con- cedes freedom of the seas to vessels under the Argentine flag carrying food" notwithstanding the fact that food always has been considered abso- lute contraband' by Germany"

Without such guarantees, treaties of settlement, agreements for dis armament, covenants to set up ar bitration in the place of force, territorial adjustments, reconstit- utions of small nations, if made with the German government, no man, no nation could now depend on.

ficial, commenting, expressed it, the presidents response, reflecting as it does, the views of the entente allies, sounds the doom of Hohenzollernism and military domination of peoples. This can and should be accomplished without the destruction of the German people is one of the striking eSpres- sions in the presidents noto, when he expressly disclaims any intent to seek punitive damages and the dismember- ment of empires or even the punish ment of the central powers after the war by gigantic economic combina- tions against them.
 Appreciates German People.
 This shaft is aimed straight over the heads of the army-controlled German foreign office at the understanding and appreciation of the German peo- pie, already manifesting many signs of a determination to assert their right to govern themselves by parliamentary methods. It is assumed, however, that there will follow fierce outburst of denunciation against the attempt from the outside to dictate to the German people their form of government. But it is also believed that as the hard ship of war and misgovernment bear with ever-increasing severity upon the German people they must in the end throw off their military masters and take in their own hands, through a representative government, the con- duct of negotiations looking to a fair and honorable and permanent peace.
 Diplomatic Masterpiece.
 Active exchanges have been in pro- gress between the president, Secre- tary Lansing and the entente powers, mainly through the American diplo- matic representatives abroad regard ing the answer to the pope's proposals ever since they were delivered to the various foreign offices. It seemed by common consent that to America was confided the heavy responsibility of framing and delivering the first of the replies. The propriety of this course was apparent from the consideration of the fact that every one of the en- tente premiers and ministers who had spoken publicly on the subject of peace had turned to the language of Presi- dent Wilson's historic address to con- gress and his other public utterances on the subject as disclosing their owF conceptions of the proper base of peace negotiations. And even more potent than this consideration was the con all nations to deal what it was hoped would be the death blow to autocracy of the Germanic type. Every precau- tion was taken to prevent a prema- ture disclosure of the contents of the presidents response. Few members of the cabinet were informed on the subject before today's cabinet meet ing Last night the document was sent to Ambassador Page in London, who was to deliver it to Foreign Min ister Balfour for transmission to Rome, Although the pope's proposals were addressed to the leaders of the nations at war which of course included Pres ident Wilson and which was signed by the pontiff himself, the response was signed by Secretary Lansing. AS the latter expressly stated that he was merely transmitting the presidents reply, however, the method was strict ly within the diplomatic proprieties.
