 FRIENDS SURPRISED
Mrs. Johnson Declares That Her
 Rapid Recovery Astonished Every- one-Had Suffered For Eight Years

My recovery and improvement since I started taking Tanlac, has astonished all my friends said Mrs. P. A. Johnson, POP East Third street Fl Paso, Texas.
 q had suffered terribly for. eight years with rheumatism indigestion and nervousness. she continued My whole body ached so badly that it was torture to me to get about the house and even then I had to walk with cruches. My somach was in such a condition that I had to live on liquid diet and even that would around my heart until I could hardly breathe at times. My head ached ali the time and my nerves were so torn up I could hardly ever get more than two hours sleep any one night.
 One of my friends who had taken Tanlac got me to try it, and I was just getting up from an operation, that seemed to do me no good, so I started on Tanlac. My rheumatism has all gone now, can eat just any thing I want and my nerves are as steady as clock. I am now feeling better than I have before in eight years and have gained sixteen pounds besides and everyone is talking about my wonderful recovery

ELECTION LEGISLATION DESIRED,
Douglas International


 Ever since the Arizona primary cleo tion law in this state was enacted by the first state legislature it has been acknowledged to be no more than a miserable makeshift. Under it's pro- visions or lack of provisions the door is open for members of one party participating in the nomination of candidates in the opposition party. It would hardly be claimed that the nominations made under the primary system have brought into the cam paigns and into office a higher class of citizens than came into promin- ence and into office under the old con vention systems of making nomina- tions.
 When the present primary law was enacted it was predicted that it would result to the disadvantage of the majority party in the state; this prediction has proven true and the last election showed the lowest per centage democratic majority of any since the primary law was. enacted. 1 Twice the democrats lost the gover- norship once temporarily and once permanently, while many other dem ocratic candidates fell far below the average democratic majority in the state.
 This paper never believed in a primary election, further than for the choosing of delegates to a party con- venticn, believing that the people may do a thing through their repre- sentatiyes better than can be done by the masses themselves, either in governing a state. county or city or in governing a party organization Under the old convention plan of making nominations each delegate from the various counties or pre- cincts went home to become an act i've booster for the party ticket. Un der the primary system those who did not support the victorious can didate in the primary too often as sume that they are under no obliga ten to vote for and support the vic tor. Under the convention the dele gates from the counties or precincts were aware of the choice of their community, so that the nominees under that plan were the popular choice as a rule and while, occasi onally, there would be revolt against a convention nominee the danger oi such a result was no great than uu der primary nomination.
 Party organizations can be depend ed on for more determined party work where the responsibility for a ticket rests on the organization mem bers than if they are managing cam paigns for candidates whom they op posed in the primaries.
 We would favor a continuation o. the primary only as referendum C1 candidates previously nominated by a deleeate convention. After such 2 convention then there should be pro vision for anyone to oppose the party nominees who might desire to do so

 That the sweet tooth of the Army overseas has not been neglected is shown by figures from the subsist- ence division as to the amount Of tcandy provided for the American F,X- ing of the armistice 7,615 5,595 pounds of candy had been shipped overseas, and since that time orders have gone through for 21,OOO 900 pounds of best candy made, 12,OOO,OOO pounds of which are now on the way to France This great increase in the ship ment o candy is due to the introduc- tion of the candy ration,'' which gives each man overseas in our army one half pound of candy every i 10 days: 495, ,OOO were required t0 | take care of the first allotment. The increased shipments also cover very large purchases for the various can teens in France.
 The demands for chewing gum has also increased steadily, .3,500,9Oo packages representing this month g shipments.

CRIMINALS ENDED AT TUCSON.
(BiSbee ReNieM)

(BlSbee ReVleW) All Arizona may well take exam pie of Tucson and the Old Pueb!o's action in refusing carnivals permis- sion to prey on its residents. 1 Within the past few days the city council of the Pima county seat has placed it's back to the wall and re- fused two travelling companies per mission to erect tents within the city limits. The action followed re- peated complaints on the past of business men merchants, newspa- pers and citizens.
 Itinerant road shows under canvas, carrying few semi-legitimate turns and ten times as many haz- ards to the public. have long been a detriment to the cities of his state. Their gambling devices, which would land the average business man or citizen behind the bars, have been a drain on every community's resonr- ces. They have come, raked the hard coin into their sacks and disappear ed over night to seek out other cities on which they prey.
 They are like the lobo wolf which sweeps down on the corral kills a calf, satisfies it's thirst for blood, and goes over the hill to the next corral to find new victims.
 The Arizona cattlemen paid high bounties for the scalps of wolves.
 The state added bounty, to rid it's ranges of wolves.
 Arizona cities could well afford to take similar preventative measures to bar from their limits lobos of the show game.
