FOURTEEN CASES OF

 work at once and soon had several dozen masks ready for distribution.
 The lifting of the quarantine does not mean that the other measures for the prevention of the spreading of the epidemic will be discontinued. Spray ing of the nose and throat of each in- dividual twice daily should be rigidly adhered to. People should avoid coming in contact with those who have colds and gathering together either indoors or outdoors.
 The public spraying station at the corner of Lang's Theatre building has been doing good work. Several hun dred people coming there daily to have their nose and threats sprayed.
 The teachers and others, who have been calling upon those who have no spray, will not be able to continue with this work as they are needed at the hospital. Mrs. J. H. Conway, as- sisted by Lodema Cook will continue with this work. Everyone is urged to have his or her nose and throat sprayed twice daily. If you have no atomizer and no one calls on you, call at the public spraying station. This is matter for each one of us to ad- here to. We owe it to ourselves and to others.
 J. H. Smith, chairman of the San itation Committee, who is assisting the Board of Health, requests that all persons make every possible effort to clean up and keep clean all of their premises including all outbuildings. A liberal use of chloride of lime is urged about all necessary places as pre- cautionary measure.

Arizona is some distance from our ball. iwick, but the election of a Congressman from that state is of importance to us and hence of interest. Arizona owns only one "a Representative He is MT. Carl Hayden, or, if our information is cor rect, he should now be called Major Hayden of some part of the United States Army And thereby hangs the following tale:
 Congressman-Major Hayden voted again st nearly all measures in preparation for war in the Congress. He voted, it is true, for the actual declaration of war, but fol- lowed that with vote against conscription. Thus he did nearly all he could to hamper and interfere with the energetic and sane prosecution of the war.
 But he is candidate for reelection, and running against him is man who holds a lieutenant's commission and is now and has been actually serving in France. Realizing that this left him at disadvantage, Candi- date Hayden, at the last moment, slipped off to Washington and succeeded in dragging down Majors commission within the last few weeks. Thus he proves his patriotism at rather beyond the eleventh hours-say about II :49 P. M.
 It is reported, however, that even this sort of conversion to militancy is not doing him much good or acquiring popularity for him. Are the Arizona voters to be so easily fooled? This is the kind of men that Con- gress can do very well without. And what is to be thought of War Department that creates this kind of a "Major?"

even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, cil ro.nds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
Chances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
TO extroct the medicinal properties from
