l have frequently asked druggists Why do you push in a blood medi- cine?" The answer usually came, 'The kind I can make the most money on" My answer has always been, Not me" I have succeeded pretty well and I have always recommended the one that I had found by experience to be the best and the one I would be willing to take myself or give to mem- bers of my own family. I have never offered the public medicine that we do not use at home. This is why can offer Number 40 For the Blood" with a clear conscience; we have not only tried it on thousands of others, but on ourselves. We take it in all cases where a blood medicine is needed no matter in what form it shows itself and we get splendid results in consti- patton, kidney, stomach and liver trou- bles. firmly believe if every one would begin in the spring and take Number 4O' they would escape ma laria and levers in all forms" J.

mission and has served it during it's term The terms of the commission CTS expire on September 1 and after of supervisors to name a new one, should there be another bond issue in the county.
 The work done and contracted by the commission has been the compile tiOn of the road from Bisbee to Tomb stone and from Tombstone to Benson, the paving of the road between Doug las and Bisbee with the exception of seven-mile link in the center to be cared for by the state road fund and federal aid, the road from Gleeson to Cochise via Pearce and the first unit reaching to beyond Silver creek on the Douglas-Rodeo highway.
 MT. Christy and party made the trip from Phoenix to Bisbee by easy stages taking two days for it. They stopped Tuesday night at Tucson and yester- day on the way here spent some time at the Empire ranch at Tombstone.
 The roads as whole are in excel lent condition, MT. Christy said. The worst stretch is from Phoenix to Flor ence, but from there into Tucson the road is in excellent condition. Be tween Tucson and Bisbee the only bal spots are around the Empire ranch
 Despite the usual summer heat. Phoenix is having a record-breaking era of prosperity, the state examiner said. There are 200 buildings in course of construction and if is all most impossible to rent a house. The capital has been little affected by the railroad strike so far as food supplies are concerned, owing to the large amount of produce grown there.

STALLS
 B!SBEE'S MAIL

Mail from California, especially the southern section, is becoming as rare in Bisbee as saloons on O. K. Trail.
 The last Los Angeles papers were received at the local postoffice on Sun day evening at o'clock on a train due at 1:10, Mail Superintendent Ham, stead said yesterday. No other sort of mail has been received from the Southland.
 Yesterday a small amount of mail matter came through from San Fran cisco. It was routed on the Santa Fe through Phoenix. When more will be received. according to Miss Hamstead, lies on the knees of the gods-or the railroad strikers.
 The postoffice authorities in Bisbee have no information as to how long the disruption of service will continue That conditions will grow worse be- fore they grow better was the pessi- mistic view expressed on all sides yes terday
 Station Agent w. B. Axsheer of the Fl Paso and Southwestern reported a large number of persons turned away daily on application for coast reserva- tions. Tucson still remains the limit for vacationists who would travel in that direction.
 rumor that the men on the Fl Paso line were to take strike vote was uncorrobated last night.

MAIN CHANGES IN MOTOR LAM
 ARE EXPLAINED

The Review has received from Nit Simms, secretary of state, copy oi the motor vehicle law with the amendments that are now effective A perusal of the amendments will save the owner of an automobile con siderable trouble in complying with follow:
 Chapter 62 (sub senate bill 134) This amendment provides that be. fore the secretary of state can issue a license and deliver number plates to any person, firm or corporation in the state of Arizona, they must have a certificate from their county assessor, stating that the personal property tax on their motor vehicle has been paid for the current year, or is secured by real estate in their county.
 Chapter 1856 (senate bill IT'D. This amendment provides that persons driving automobiles or auto trucks on any state highway must use the full arm signal to indicate whether they are turning to the right or left. On enclosed motor cars, an automa- tic signal must be used when it is not possible to use the arm.
 Chapter TIP (house bill No. 14S), This amendment divides the license year into quarterly periods, so that a person applying for license between January 1st and March 31st must pay the full annual license, and those applying for a license later in the year, must pay for the unexpired quarters of the year.
 In his letter Secretary Simms says:
 "These three amendments were passed for the better operation and enforcement of the motor vehicle law of the state. The one requiring the personal property tax to be paid be- fore a license can be issued by the secretary of state, is an innovation and is not generally understood by the persons applying for licenses; as a consequence much delay is caused in issuing licenses. on account of the length of time it takes to get the certificate from the assessor.
 Each assessor has the certificates in his office, and much time would be saved if persons who want motor vehicle licenses would provide them selves with such certificates before applying to the secretary of state for a motor vehicle license"

Lumber Thieves Are
 Sentenced to Jail

Caught in the act of ripping down a well trestle near the old hospital for the purpose of stealing the lumber, two Mexicans resfined $10 each in Judge James Allison's court yesterday and sentenced to 30 days in jail. The jail sentences were suspended pending good behavior, but the men went to the hoose-gow just the same as they had not the necessary ten spot.
 The lumber thieves, who gave their names as Ignacio Pimbar and Jacobo Vasquez, were taken into custody by Sergeant Hill Ruff late Monday night. The noise of the plank ripping alarm ed a woman living nearby. who called the police. She said she thought they were ripping down her shack.
 The property belonged to the Phelps Dodge corporation.

BURNS SEEKING
 ENGAGEMENT AT LOCAL THEATER

Bobby" Burns, the army boxing instructor and light weight boxer. was up from Douglas yesterday with Mickey" Riley, the singing pugilist. trying to arrange for some theatrical dates here. Burns has received con. siderable unfavorable comment in the press of the state both for smash ing" the referee in a recent fight with Ralph Lincoln at Nogales and later for postponing a match with the same boy at the Line City.
 However, Bobby says he wants to be a good boy now and show the public that he isn't as bad as he has been painted. Hence his desire to put on a little act before the foot lights with Riley. Mickey" the singing boSer, is a clever light weight boxer with a wonderful voice. He has played the "big time," having only recently closed on the Orpheum circuit and also was one of the chief entertainers at the army canton ments during the war.
 Burns and Riley have boxing and training act, including songs by Mickey and a weight pulling nov, city by Robbie" The act is intend ed to show something behind the scenes in a boxers training quarters.
 Burns was looking fit after losing a decision for the third time to Lincoln at Nogales Saturday night. He was unmarked and gave the i'm pression that he still believes he can whip the little Mexican. He said

Lloyd B. Christy, state bank exam iner, and his assistant, John F. Myers, came over from Phoenix last evening to check up on the county highway commission, which goes out of exist ence September l. They were ac- accompanied by MT. Christy's brother in-law, Dr. c. E. Culver, and owing to the tie-up of trains because of the strike on the coast, were compelled to make tine trip by automobile.
 MT. Christy said last evening that 1t probably would require two or three days to check over the accounts of the board. J. J. Bowen, one of the members of the commission, and J. c. Ryan, engineer, are now on the coast and owing to the railroad strike their return is problematical. MT Christy got into communication last night by telephone with Secretary A. H. Gardner at Tombstone. After a day or two is Bisbee, MT. Christy and Mir. Myers will go to the county seat.
 The county highway commission has announced that it will meet on Sep tember for the purpose of making final settlement with the contractors who did the work on the Tombstone Benson highway and the Pearce-Co- chise highway. The commission was appointed two years ago in connec- ton with the $1,0OO,0OO road bond is- sue and was originally composed of W. M. Adamson and Harry Clark of Douglas; J. J. Bowen, Captain Hodg son of BiSbee and A. H. Gardner of Tombstone. Later when Captain Hodgson left the county to go to Mo renci, Gerald Sherman of Bisbee was named to fill the vacancy. J. c.

Interesting Letter
 In Cleve Irby Case

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 27.-A re- markable letter, which has been un- covered in the files of the parole board, reveals the real reason back of the release from the Cochise county jail of Cleveland Irby. Act ing Governor Nit Simms signed a proclamation for parole for Irby last week. The letter in question was written by M. I. McKellegon, assist ant county attorney of Cochise coun- toy to Honorable Wiley E. Jones, at torney general and member of the parole board. It reads as follows:
 Dear Friend Wiley: Cleveland IT. by who is now in jail here on the charge of doing a little bootlegging under an 1S-months' sentence wishes to get out. Irby is one of the best fel- lows in the world, a good Democrat, friend of ours and has a fine family and a splendid wife. As a personal favor I wish you to be in a position to act promptly and favorably upon his application for parole which will reach you on the tenth and see that he is restored to the free list. With my very best wishes, cordially yours.
 (Signed) "M. I. M'KELLEGON."
 Simms, in explanation of his ac- tion in signing the parole says that he did so upon the recommendation of the parole board and that this recommendation was backed up by a string of letters of endorsement from the judge, county attorney, the sheriff and his deputies and a petition that was signed by practically every office holder of Cochise and the town of Tombstone.-Tucson Citizen.

Another arrest in the crusade against drug users was made yester- day by Deputy Tom Foster when Mrs B. M. Johnson was taken into custody in Johnson's addition A peculiar type of homemade hypodemrim syringe was taken from the woman.
