SONORA RANGERS.

A recent press dispatch dated Douglas, Arizona says:
 "Sonora has decided to revive the old fiscal gendarme system employed for prevent ting snug gling along the border in the days of Diaz, Mexican Consul Lelevier announced. General Kosterlitzky eleven years ago headed these guards in Sonora, with his headquarters in Her. mOsillO.
 Headquarters for the new guard will be in the same place, which is near the center of the Sonora boundary on the north and therefore most convenient. Gen. Carlos Plank, a Cananea man we'll known here, will be in command. A force of 300 men is being recruited. Picked men are desired, as it is the purpose to make of it thoroughly eff cient force. It will relieve the liue riders and soldiers now used for this purpose. It probably means that smuggling things in and out of Sonora will be much more difficult in the future.

USE MORE RICE.

Rice is one of the best sub stitutes to use in preparing wheatless and meatless meals.
 Because it has little individual flavor it takes on the taste of the dish with which it has been com bined.
 This quality makes rice an ex- cellent foundation for milk and cheese dishes, or com mbination with meat, chicken or fish.
 Rice can be com bined with any vegetable, made into a va riety of deserts, used to thicken soups or mixed with wheat flour or corn meal in making bread.
 Even a spoonful left over can be stirred into bread, mixed in chicken stuffing or dropped in the soup pot. Left over rice may be Drowned in fat for break fast or made into cakes by add ing eggs, little milk, four to thicken and teaspoon of baking powder. Try these rice cakes for breakfast with syrup.

JUVENILE PATRIOTISM.

The school children of Okla homa have a pledge all their own, that might be adapted for the use of Arizonans. It is: T hereby pledge renewed allegi- ance to my flag and to the re- public for which it stands. l pledge myself as a true, loyal American to be active in support of my government in all it's plans and efforts. I will help stamp out the enemies at home. whose every act or word means more graves in France.

THE MAN WHO LOSES.

nut again the other day: "Yes, Pbut l know man who lost lot of money in mining" The say ing is about on a par with that other once popular fallacy More money is put into mining
 than is ever taken out"
 We all know men and women
 who have lost money in mining.
 We also know people who have lost money in every human pur- suit and in every industry. great and small. We know people who would lose in any venture; people who have the not uncom- mon faculty of getting rid of money and who will back any grafter who comes along, no matter how transparent his game. We have lost a few hard earned dollars ourselves - on smoke consumers, etc.
 ment-the ina ability to discrimi nate between the wheat and the chaff 2 between the honest man and the rogue. Because we bought stock in smoke con suner company which did not exist, is no reason why we should condemn the manufacturing in dustry. Because our friend Jones made a failure of farming is no reason to suppose that all farms are failures. Neighbor Johnson. who entered the mer- chandising business, also went 1 demn the practice of buying goods and selling them at profit. except as the high cost of living hits us personally. And s Smith, across the street, put the money his father left him into a bank venture. He lost it, and the failure was blamed to a dis honest cashier, though most of us know better. But none of us lam bast the banking business for Smiths failure.
 Mining seems to be the only industry which is condemned be- cause people have lost money in it. And yet mining, when con ducted along business lines and by hard headed men of expert ence, has been proven time and again to contain less hazard than many of the so called con servative industries. The fact is when a man enters mining he is playing for big stakes. If he makes good, his gains are enOr nous and out of all proportion to the money invested originally. And it is this phase which gives it it's fascination and which i'm pels people to speculate without proper investigation.
 The successful man, with money to back his judgment, who invests in mining with the same care, the same cautious in vestigation, that he displays in other investments, invaria bly, makes good money from the industry. It is never said of him that The lost money in min ing" On the other hand, the pursuit of the precious and base metals has made more wealthy men of struggling laborers, than any other line of human en deavor.
 Nevertheless, the censure di- rected against! mining because of the man who lost, is out of all proportion to the grudging credit which is accorded it be- cause of the many who have won. Salt Lake Mining Re UiaW

cussING THE KAISER


A woman living In spokane
Wash. takes exception to the grow
ing practice OF cussing the kaiser
1--WE should not say damn in wal
or any other time" she says. "A
person who says damn" Is not
damnlng the kaiser, but damnins
his own soul. The kaiser is damned
already.
''The Bible says. Thou shalt not
swear II | should swear would
be a child of the devil. The kaiser
is one Of the DEVILS children. and !
would very much dislike to be In the
same family with him"
Can you beat it, Without ven-
turing an opinion on the ethical
problem involved. we are driven TO
express our admiration for the In
genious way in which the Spokane
lady gets all the benefit out Of the
cuss words without actually doing
any overt cussing.
Having damned the kaiser herself
with such artistic vigor. surely she
ought to be willing to let less clever
people do the same thing In their
own crude and fortnight way.

tells you that quarter ounce of
Grug called freezone con be obtained
al little cost from the drug store but
it sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply a few drops of
this on a tender, aching corn and the
soreness is instantly relieved. Short
ly the entire corn can be lifted out,
root and all, without pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel UP any
corn without infiaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
