 WHOLESALE TRADE

One of the leading wholesale firms in Phoenix is the John F. Barker Produce company, an organization on whose scientific method of distribution | greater part of the state of Arizona depends for eggs, fruit, fresh Tege- tables and many other food products.
 The branch house in Tucson takes care of the southern part of the state, while the house here handles the Salt River valley, the Santa Fe line north to Ash Fork, Grand Canyon, flag- staff and Holbrook.
 Through the hot weather tie prob lem of importing sufficient eggs, fruit and vegetables is a serious one, to be solved only by accurate calculation of the demand, and a knowledge of where to find the product which IS wanted. AT egg, for instance, is as tenpera- mental as leading lady, and it must be handled with care. Long hauls and delayed distribution are ruinous.

 Lettuce, cucumbers, oranges, lem | ons, watermelons, cantaloupes, bunch vegetables and cabbage come from the Los Angeles wholesale terminal mar ket.

PETER IS PUNISHED By the Story Lady

Peter put a spider on Patty one day and scared her so that she fell back ward over the porch railing and cut her head on a rock and good old Dr. Waters had to come and sew it up.
 Peter expected a thrashing but to his great surprise he was let entirely alone. They spent their time doing nice things for Patty who had to stay in bed a day or so and no one even as much as spoke to Peter. Papa finally forgave him enough to speak to him and the twins didn't seem to hold anything against him but mama looked grave whenever she saw him and Peter knew she couldn't forgive the sight of Patty lying on the ground with the blood staining her fair hair.
 Peter was truly very sorry and promised himself that even though il was lots of fun to teass the twins he would never do it again. He was very cood and worry quiet and finally things ror so bad for him that he couldn' eat much and there was lump in hi' throat all the time.

CADDOCK HOLDS
WRESTLING TITLE
Iowan Has Beaten Three
Leading Rivals in Bouts
for Championship.

NEW YORK, Nov. In view Of the
statements circulated regarding the
American heavyweight wrestling title, Il
few facts and figures may be apropos,
Earl Caddock, OF Anita, Ia, is the
holder Of the American championship
n any claims made in behalf Of
Stranger Lewis, Joe Stecher or Vladek

inspection Of the records.
Caddock has beaten all three OF the
wrestlers named and under conditions

Caddock met Joe Stecher, the body

but Caddock came back and captured
the second fall after a desperate strug-

the contestants were called for the third
and decisive fall Stecher did not an

awarded the fall and a match to Cad
dock.
Caddock defeated Zbyszko two out Of
three falls at Des Moines, Ia, on Feb,
8, 1918, and again on May 5 Of the same
year. Caddock defeated the Polander
on points after . hours and 80 minutes

If neither men gained a fall In the

referee was to select the winner on the
basis of points, the same as in a box

Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents Illness
and keeps Us III.

Just as coal, when It burns, leaves
behind uncomfortable ashes, so the food
end drink taken day after day leaves
in the alimentary canal indlgestible
material, which If not completely elm
mated from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions Of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass Of leftover waste, toxins and
ptomainelike poisons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feeling
right must begin to take inside baths.
Before breakfast Zach morning drink
a glass of hot water with a teaspoon
full Of limestone phosphate In it to
wash out of the bowels the previous
days p~oisons and toxins, and to keep
the entire alimentary canal clean, pure
and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, ~biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath. backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quar-
ter pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing
internal sanitation. This will cos very
little, but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on the subject. adv.

Amateur Union Proposes
I~hirty-FOUr Amendments

letic rules Of the Amateur Athletic
union, as prepared by Justice Barlow

yesterday was mailed to the delegates
elected by the various active and allied
members Of the Amateur Athletic union
TO attend the annual convention OF the
national body at the Copley Plaza
Motel. Boston. on Nov. 16 and II.
The report contains "a proposed
amendments in all. A number OF the
changes in the constitution are made
necessary by the formation Of the Indi-
ana and Niagara associations of the
Amateur Athletic union, the WI new
associations organized during the last
Probably the most important recon-
mende change are those 70 the gen.
eral rules affecting competition and
eligibility. The Pacific association OF
the Amateur Athletic union has again
recommended that General Rule I be
changed to prohibit athletes from other
countries from competing In the ma
tional championships. The Amateur
Athletic union officials on the Pacific
coast look upon competition where ath-
letes from foreign countries are per-
mitted to participate as international
competition and not as national cham
pionships.
This proposed change was submitted
to the delegates at last years annual
convention, but was not adopted, the
delegates feeling hat the national
championships are the CHAMPIONSHIPS of
America and are open to all amateurs
whether residents of the United States
or not. American athletes have been
competing in the English, Swedish and
Canadian championships for a nur4ber
of years past and have also been vel
come. Likewise, Canadian and foreign
athletes have competed in the national
championships.
The amendment to General Rule 4 Is
sure to meet with the unanimous ap-
prevail Of the competing athletes.
