Editor The Gazette:
Can it be that the attention Of the
members of the police force has not
been called to Councilman Wattles'
ordinance forbidding the opening OF
mufflers Or cut-outs on automobiles or
motorcycles on the streets of the city
of Alexandria, or is it possible that
their attention has been called to this
ordinance, which was approved by the
mayor on June y, 1918, and that, they
do not approve Of its despite the fact
that it meets with the appreciation OF
hundreds Of persons who feel under
obligations to Councilman Wattles
and the men who enacted his ordl-
nance into law.
Certain it is whether the police
have received instructions to enforce
the ordinance and have determined
that they will disregard it, or wheth-
er they are ignorant Of its existence,
day and night are still made almost
unbearable by the non-enforcement OF
this measure.

the building of the road between
this city and Douglas. There was.

the other sections from Bisbee to

to Forrest station. There were
number of contractors present but
they submitted no bids. They
stated that at the present time they
were unable to submit bids on ac-
count of the scarcity of labor and
that it was doubtful if it could be
brought from, Mexico. 1t is expect

work on his section of the road
next week as he has his outfit now.

Chronic Constipation

Perhaps you have never thought
of it, but this disorder is due to a
lack of moister in the residual mat
ter of the food. If you will drink
an abundance of water, eat raw
fruits and take lots of outdoor ex-
ercise, you may be able eventually
to overcome it entirely. In the
meantime use the most mild gentle
laxatives. Strong and harsh cath
critics take too much water out of
the system and makes a bad matter
worse. Chamberlain's Tablets are
easy and pleasant to take, and most
agreeable in effect. Give them a
rial.

URGES SAVE MORE WHEAT
EAxlTY WILL RESULT IN FAR
GREATER SUFFERING BY Al
LIES, HIS FEAR.

Recent reports circulated in Ari-
zona and other states to the effect
that further need for wheat cOnserva-
tion is unnecessary are declared erro-
neous In special message by Her.
bert Hoover to the people Of Arizona
The message reads as follows:
Every aspect of the wheat situa-
ton both present and prospective, In.
tensifies the need for the greatest
possible limitation in the American
consumption of wheat and wheat prod
ucts. Ii present restrictions should
be in the slightest degree relaxed It
would result in serious want for the
people of the allied nations before the
new crop can reach the market.
1.-The food administrations estimates
on the first of June a total available
supply until the new harvest of about
fifty-six million bushels. OF this, thir-
ty million bushels must be exported
before new wheat is available for ex-
port. il we are to maintain the ab-
solutely necessary shipments to our
army and the Allies, that leaves about
twenty-six million bushels for domes-
tic consumption for the next two
months. Normal American copsump-
ton Is something over forty million
bushels month, so that the most
liberal consumption at home should
be only One-third Of normal.
"The new harvest will not be gen.
orally available in flour until the mid
die of August or early In September,
although in the extreme south 1t VIII
be somewhat earlier.
"At q meeting Of the federal food
administrators in Washington, repre-
: 4senting all forty-eight states, It was
the unanimous view that even II the
harvest does prove abundant 1t will
be the first duty OF the American peo-
pie to place every grain they can save
into storage as against possible bad
years ahead. In consequence there
should be no anticipation of unlimited
wheat bread until the war is over.
Some of the most inconvenient re-
strictions can no doubt be modified
with the arrival of large harvest, but
If we are honest with ourselves we
will maintain restrictions requiring
the use of some substitutes In both
domestic and commercial bread"

Old Pioneer Dies

The death of DR.. James Doug
las, the we'll known mining man,
and for many years prominent
citizen of Arizona, occurred this
week in New York city at the age
of 81. DR.. Douglas was form erly
president of the Copper Queen
Mining Company and long identi
fed with the PhelpsDodge inter

writer and highly esteemed citizen
He was noted as an authority on
the metallurgy of copper. and a
pionner in the development of Bis
bee and the Warren District.
Arizona may we'll pause to mark
the passing Of DR.. Douglas, for it
owes to his faith, initiative and
genius as scientist in metals more
than to any other one man it's pres
ent Importance and prosperity.
There have been many pioneers of
the Southwest. and some fought
the Indians rnd others planted the
wilderness and others builded cit

who went deeper than surface
problems. He was a pioneer in
Che discovery and development of
that hidden wealth in the depths
of the barren and at that time. for
bidding mountains.
DR.. James Douglas was born in
Quebec. Canada, in 1887. After
receiving his education he came to
the United States, locating at the
town of Phoenixville, Pa, as a
mining engineer. It was years af-
forwards that he came to Arizona
and became identified with the
development of the mining indus

People are often very much dis
appointed, to find that their family
physician is away from home when
they most need his services. Dis
eases like pain in the stomach and

many instances proven fatal before
medicine could be procured or
physician summoned. The right

MEETING THE SITUATION.

The war has played havoc with most of us;
well-ordered daily routine is simply "shot to
pieces organizations are shattered; there's
more work to do with less help to do it with, and
the end of the month looms dark to many ex-
ecutives who wonder how in the world it will
be possible to get the bills out on time.
We all working at higher pressure than
usual, with most of us falling little further be-
hind each day. However, one local business man
has met the situation. We need not mention his
name, but sufficient to say that in "the good old
days" he spent much of his time at the club and
was envied by his friends as fellow who took
things easy and always had lots of leisure.
Yesterday, in taking to task correspondent
who gave the war for laxity in at
tending to a business matter, he dictated the fol-
lowing: Il am at my desk every day from 8 a.
until p. M, so that this Office may give SER
vice instead of excuses"
Of course, none of us is anxious to work the
extra hours, or to sacrifice pleasure for the hard
grind of business, but it is the one sure way to
take up the slack and keep the cogs meshing
while so many of our young men are doing their
part to help lick the kaiser.

WILLING TO CHANGE TACTICS.

One of the things Germany was accused OF
for years before this war began was her remark
able commercial practice of dumping goods in
foreign markets to steal trade and ruin business
of competitors By doing this she also tore
down high wage and working conditions in those
countries.
Germany now offers to discontinue this, if
only the other nations viii stop their march on
Berlin ard agree to peace terms. From Munich
"Nachrichtenp we quote:
THE dumping method which consisted in
selling ct high prices at home, to enable us to
play the cheap Jack abroad, has been too long
followed. It is an unclean form of competition,
which must come to an end, but before it can
cease it must be publicly disowned and branded
as wrong and as a piece of dishonorable
dealing"
Of course, it is long way from Munich to
Berlin, and Bavaria isn't Prussia, but this is an
indication that reason is beginning to shed its
ight beyond the Rhine The harder we pound
that German line in France and the more
Tents we make in it, the quicker Germany will
come across with more proffers to clean her
hands, commercially and otherwise.
This is in the nature of deathbed repentance
the Huns making, but too often deathbed
repentance is no repentance at Ell when the
patient gets well.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-08-31
NO COMPROMISE |!

If Germany could bring about peace by nego-
tiation before she is finally and thoroughly
beaten, she would Immediately get busy pre-
pairing for the next
And the next war Wight throw the bulk of the
burden on US.
There would be opportunities, in the mean
time, for German diplomacy to make new ALI
ance and to split up the allies who are now fight
ing her.
Anyhow, no dependence could be placed on
any peace agreement the German government
would make, SO long as that government is con-
trolled by the gang that throws treaties to the
wind as so many scraps of paper.
So long as the German people submit to the
overlordship of the Hohenzollerns-so long as
they continue to believe in the brutal philosophy
on which the Wanted German ''kultur" is based
just so long will they be unfit for fellowship
in a league of nations whose aim is to preserve
world peace.
Unless prevented by premature peace, Ger
many's defeat is certain. She is on the run now.
She has passed the peak of power and is on the
down grade. The job must be finished. There
can be no compromise now between democracy
and autocracy. Autocracy must get. off the
earth

RABBITS AS FOOD SOURCE.

England is turning to the rabbit in quest of
relief from the serious meat shortage and the
government has mapped out national scheme
which it is hoped will add millions of pounds to
the meat supply of the country.
Development of valuable fur industry is an
other OBJECT of the plan and every family with
suitable premises is urged to enter upon the
breeding of rabbits the largest possible scale.
The British department of food production is
assisting with the preliminary expenses and ar
rangements have been made to supply district
breeding stations all over the country with does
and bucks of the best utility types, and so en-
able these district stations to provide would be
rabbit keepers with rabbits for breeding or fat
tening at reasonable prices.
The United States department of agriculture
advocated similar plan for this country some
months ago, but did not meet with ready re.
Spouse. 1t is now announced that special
effort will be made to interest the people of the
south in the breeding of rabbits as helpful
wartime occupation, especially for women ano
children.
