MOHAyE COUNTY
 PIONEER PASSES

Calvin Cuzino, one of the oldest men of the county, died at the hos pital in Kingman last Monday morn- ing, after long illness.
 Calvin Cuzino, popularly known as Louie Cazino, came to Arizona in the early sixties. He established himself in a cafe in the Mile High City, but was soon attracted to this county. At Mineral Park he ran a restaurant many years, finally building what was known as the Palace hotel. This building was destroyed by fire and the owner lost the saving of years. He improved farm on the Colorado riv- CT near old Hardyville, but was una ble to make it pay. During his life time he mined, operated cafes, drove big teams and did everything that the usual frontiersman could do. He was a bighearted fellow and had many friends among the old timers. He was of creole percentage and a native of the state of New York, aged about 86 years.-Kingman Miner.

SAY WOOD ALCOHOL IS
 SURE CAUSE OF BLINDNESS

Jerome druggists are becoming alarmed over the growing demand for wood alcohol, and are predicting that ere long some of the persistent i'm bibers of that subtle decoction will go blind.
 We druggists are confronted by a peculiar problem" remarked R. ". Reid, of the Jerome drug company, recently. "We cannot stop the sale of wood alcohol, for many people use it legitimately as fuel. But there is no doubt in our minds that many of our customers drink it, in spite of the fact that they know it is poison.
 Whenever anyone comes in and bears the appearance of being wood alcohol user we simply take it upon ourselves to refuse him. Doubtless we sometime refuse people who have no notion of drinking it, but we pre- fer to err on the safe side.
 "Of late, however, we have found out that the drinkers often persuade perfectly respectable people to buy their wood alcohol for them. Many times when person beyond suspic- ion is asked whether he intends to use the alcohol himself he confesses that he is simply getting it to accommo- date some one else.
 "Very few people realize the dan ger that lies in wood alcohol. If one drinks very much of it he is almost sure to lose his eyesight. Most of the blind Mexicans you see became blind from drinking wood alcohol."- Jerome News.
