Cure For Small Pox.

A correspondent Of the Stock
ton {Calif.) Herald, speaks as
follows concerning small pox and
its remedy:
Il herewith append a recipe
which has been used to my GER
tain knowledge in hundreds of
cases. 1t will prevent, or cure
the small pox though the pittings
are filled. When Jenner discov-
ed COW pox in England the world
of science hurled an avalanche
of fame upon his head; but when
the most scientific school in the
world-that of Paris-published
this recipe as a panacea for small
pox it passed unheeded. 1t is as
unfailing as fate and conquers in
every instance. 1t is Harmless
when taken by a well person. 1t
will also cure scarlet fever"
Here is the recipe as | have
used it: sulphate of zine one
grain; foxgIove one grain; half a
teaspoonful of sugar; mix with
two tablespoons full of water.
Whed thoroughly mixed add four
ounces Of water. Take a tea
spoonful every hour. For a
child smaller doses according to
age.
Either disease will disappear
in twelve hours. If counties
would compel physicians to use
this remedy there would be no
need of pest houses, -

Taken to Hospital.

Mr.. George Zimmerman, for
many years a conductor out of
Winslow, but more recently a
resident at Adamana, where the
family had taken up a homestead,
was before the insanity commits
sion at Holbrook last Friday for
examination, and an order was
issued to transfer him to the
hospital at Phoenix. for treat
ment. Mr.. Zimmerman has been
in poor health for some time, and
worrying over his condition is
believed to have temporarily af-
fected his mind.

Chicken Thieves.

Last Sunday night a couple of
thieves entered the chicken house
of Mrs. frankie Balm and stole
three of her pullets. They would
probably have taken more, but
Mrs. Balm went out and fright
ened them away. She saw the
men jump over the fence and
disappear down the alley. If
these pests of a community have
started to work in Winslow our
chicken raisers should get a good
shot gun and keep it handy to
give these midnight marauders a
warm reception.

Women for City Council.

With the approaching spring
election for a new city council it
might be we'll to consider the
matter of placing a couple of
women on the council for the
next year as an experiment.
There are a number of ladies in
Winslow who make a close study
OF civic government and are
deeply interested in all that per-
talns to a higher standard of life,
and they certainly would not de-
tract from the efficiency of city
council If they were included in
the membership. This is a matter
for the women of the city to con-
slider and discuss at their club
meetings, and get together on a
couple of desirable candidates
whose names would go before
the primaries. There are seven
councilmen to be elected, and
two OF the places should be given
to women who would take an ac-
tive interest in the duties of the
position. The women on our
school board have abundantly
demonstrated that they have not
detracted from the efficiency of
our schools system, and two wo-
men on the council would prove
just as satisfactory to the best
interests of the community.

Bob keeney a Benedict.

Last Wednesday evening at
six O'Clock, at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. c..
M. LaPrade, their daughter Miss
Wynona Mildred was united in
marriage to Mr.. Robert Elwood
keeney, the ceremony being
performed by w. B. Cole of the
M. E. church in the presence of
only the immediate relatives and
few close personal friends. The
bride is one Of Winslow's fairest
daughters who has grown to wo-
manhood in this community, and
who is beloved by all for her
quiet Winsome ways. The groom,
Bob Keeney, is known of all men,
from WinsloW to Needles, as he
is one of the popular conductors
OF the Santa Fe, and it seemed to
be the generally accepted theory
be would always remain faithful
to the ranks of bachIerhood. I'M
mediately following the wedding
Mr.. and Mrs. Keeney took up
their residence in home already
prepared by the groom for the
reception of his bride at 522

Editors in Libel Suit.

T. S. Carlow is the business
manager of the Jerome News,
and he has filed a $4,000 libel
suit against L. C. Bradon and
Mrs. Edith Whitaker, proprie-
tors of the Jerome Sun. 1t seems,
according to the petition filed in
the case that the two defendants
published in their paper soft
impeachment on the general
character and reputation of the
plaintiff, who is some moulder of
public opinion himself. Among
other things Mr.. Carlow was ac-
cused of confiscating some con-
traband whiskey that was stored
by the federal authorities, and
getting intoxicated, and carrying
the surplus to some of the painted
ladies in the redlight district;
then he is charged with being a
drug fend; and being a manager
of a poker game in the back
room of his office, and trimming
one his own employees out of $36
at one sitting. Because Of these
nasty things Mr.. Carlow thinks
his reputation has maintained
$4,000 actual damage, and then
believes he is entitled to about
$4,000 exemplary damages. We
know nothing of the real facts in
the case, but we feel sure the
defendants are mistaken in their
accusations, because the ethics of
the profession are on such high
moral plane that no one ever
heard of an editor who would
drink whiskey, play poker, or
visit questionable resorts.

VOL 28.
More English and Grammar.

A reader of the WinsloW Mail
writes the editor that he thinks
more interest should be aroused
in the study Of English and
grammar in the night schools as
the real basic study of a broader
and higher civilization, and he
wants US to urge on the people
the Importance of acquiring a
familiarity with correct and per-
feet English. We can most cheer
fully champion the cause Of a
study of English authors, be-
cause it irreslstably creates a
love for the best in literature
and many a pleasant hour can be
spent communing with your ia
vorites; but it would take Spartan
courage for us to urge upon any,
body to study grammar with an
idea of getting any pleasure out
of it, when our mind runs back
to the little old school house Of
our youth, and the nightmare
that robbed those days of their
pleasure was a Kerl Grammar
that had to be mastered. Now
with the years that are past we
can understand the Importance
of drinking deep at that fount,
and injecting the system full of
nouns, verbs and adverbs, and
their proper application, culti-
waiting such a close familiarity
that you can call them by their
given names without hesitation
or embarrassment; but what
logic can you bring to bear on
the youth of to-day that will con-
vince him of the importance of a
perfect knowledge of grammar
as foundation to his education?
The vision of adolescence never
sees into the future. He is in
terested in nothing that does not
Immediately appeal to his youth
full spirits. To drill along for
couple of years parsing sentences,
and separating them into the
several parts of speech seems a
woeful waste of time, and not
nearly SO essential as playing
basket ball or football where
there is action and a chance to
get in the lime-light. But the
day always comes, when youth
has grown to manhood, when he
realizes he has lost something in
his education and a close analysis
reveals that the missing tenets
are a knowledge of grammar.

Governor Visits Camp Kearney

Gov. Hunt, accompanied by
nearly all the other state officials
in the state house, went to Camp
Kearney last week to witness a
grand review of the troops
scheduled for Friday. Unfortu-
nately a heavy rain that contin-
ued a couple of days made the
review of troops an impossibility,
but the Governor spent the time
very proftably visiting with the
Arizona boys, and getting some
frst-hand information on camp
conditions, which he found very
satisfactory. The old 1st Arizona
national guard is now part of
the 158th Infantry, and is con-
sidered one of the best trained
regiments in the camp, so much
so in fact that the boys all feel
that the next troops to 60 to
France will include them. They
are all up on the bits and anxious
to come in contact with the
enemy.

DESTROYER NAMED AFTER
CONFEDERATES.

~ history making innovation took
place last Sunday which, had il been
attempted decade or two ago, would
have caused storm Of priest in cv-
cry part of the United States, with
the exception of the South. AS it is,
probably not one out of every ten
Americans graspcd the significance
of what took place. An American
destroyer, one of the powerful new
types soon to cross the Atlantic to
join the fight against the German
submarine, was given the name of
Tattnall. The brief Navy Depart
mcnt statement announcing the fact
stated that the vessel was named in
honor of Captain Josiah Tattnall, u.
S. a..
But the navy department state
mcnt did not say that the Captain
Tattnall, U. S. a., was the Commo-
dore Tattnall, C. s. A., who, in the
war between the States, commanded
the famous Mcrrimac, which was
worsted in the battle with Ericsson's
Monitor and which Tatnall destroyed
in order OF prevent the vessel from
becoming a Union prize.
Tattnall is the second Confederate
officer in whose honor one of the new
American destroyers has been nam
ed. The other two was Commodore
Matthew Fontainc Maury, the officer
who chartcd the Atlantic, and who
was President of the court-martial
which tried Tatnall for destroying
the Mcrrimac, court-martial, by the
way, which ended in complete vim
dication of the Merrimacs famous
commander.
The memory of the other two fa-'
nous Confederate officers will prob
ably be honorcd by the Navy Depart
mcnt in the near future. One of
them is Rasphacl Scmmes, the COM
mander of the Confederate Commerce
destroyer Alabama, and the other is
Franklin Buchanan, who organized
the naval academy in 1915 and who
was its first Superintendent. Buch-
anan was the first commander of the
Merrimac and his pennant as Con-
federatc Admiral fluttered from the
Merrimac's peak in the great victo-
ny the ironclad won over the Union
forces in Hampton Roads when the
u. S. S. Cumberland was sunk and
the U. S. S. Congress blown up.

crate commanders. Grant and Lee,

HAY $500 A TON.


Have you hay to sell? Now is the
time to sell it. Must you buy hay?
Now IS not the time to buy il. BY
retail timothy hay is 1925 per 100
pounds right here in town, in Taze-
well county. 1t was quoted at $36.5O
per ton, wholesale, at North Tazcwell
Monday. BY the time it reaches the
cow barn, it has increased in price
about 1925 the ton.
Why should there be such an enor-
nous increase in price over year or
two ago? Some increase was to be
expected, but an increase of 200 per
cent seems entirely unreasonable and
excessive. The United States has
not increased it's number of hay-cat-
ing animals in this country, but rath-
err reduced the number by shipping
thousands of horses to Europe. just
how much hay has been shipped the
Allies is not known to this writer. A
large quantity must have been shipp-
ed, creating n scarcity i'll this coun-
try, else somebody is profteerine, the
biggest kind.
The poor people who have one or
two cows and horse or two, are
paying heavy "war tax" for GER
tain, but the "tax" is not finding it's
way into the war funds to help win
the war.
Just why ton of hay should in
crease in value from $1,000 or S37 90
between North Tazewell and this
town to $4,000 is beyond the mathe-
NAUTICAL ken of this writer. And hay
is only one of number Of articles
for which price seemingly excess
i've, is charged the consumer. For
instance, meal at $500 bushel when
the best corn is quoted in the Chi
cago market at $3.50 per bushel. The
merchants are entitled to reasona-
BILE profit, everybody allows, but there
is limit, but number of mer-
chants in this country and else
where, don't seem to have found it.
