 ABOUT TROUBLE
Had Suffered for Twenty Years Gains Eleven Pounds and
 Is Restored to Health

For two years before l began talk ing Tanlac my health was so bad lost two or three hours from work every day, but since taking five bot ties of the medicine I am in as fine ,health as I ever was in my life" said C. H. Melton, construction fore man for the Western Union Telegraph Co.,, living at 3336 Tracy avenue, Kansas City, Mo.
 "I had stomach trouble and nerv- Ous indigestion for tweny years" he continued. Five years ago I got in such bad shape that everything l ate caused me terrible suffering from gas and at times I could hardly breathe. I had stuffy feeling all the time and was so constipated had to keep taking laXatives. My head ached sometimes like it would simply burst and I became so weak and rundown it looked like I would have to give up my work entirely.
 "A friend of mine had tried Tan lac and recommended it so highly decided to take it, too, and, believe me, I found it to be a real medicine. Tn three days time my appetite be- gan to improve and my stomach got better. I kept on improving rapidly and now 1 eat anything l want, have gained eleven pounds and never have stomach trouble, headaches or con- ktipation any more. l never felt bet ter in my life and it is real pleas ure to recommend Tanlac."
 Tanlac is sold in Bisbee by J. M. Ball, w. Harry Miller, Johnson's addi- ton, Lowell Drug Co.,, and by leading druggists in all other cities.

Break Bones In
 Movie Rehearsal

Getting realism into a big fight scene in Rex Beach's new picture The Silver Horde" the attraction at the Central theatre next Thurs day, and the Eagle next Sunday, re- suited in Frederick StanCon's getting bis two fingers broken in addition to his acquisition of few minor cuts and bruises. According to the story. Stanton, who plays the part of Big George, invades the store run by the Marsh Canning Company, who are endeavoring to compel him to sell his traps, and accuses the four men present of burning his cabin. The four men, deeming the opportunity favorable, set upon Big George and eventually throw him to the floor. In the terrific struggle that follows, Stanton, unfortunately, falls on his open hand. and the weight of the four men pressing down upon him caused two of his fingers to bend back and break at the second joint.
 Lefty" Flynn, all American foot ball player and former Yale fullback, was one Of Stanton's opponents and his weight alone is sufficient to break a few fingers With the other three men Of almost equal size and weight Stanton probably thinks himself lucky to have escaped with only his one hand bound up.

COPPER QUEEN
 WILL PROTECT
 ORE SHIPPERS
Will Adjust Prices As Soon As Government Acts On
 Silver Quotation

Regarding the recent drop in the price of silver, w. H. Webster, as sistant manager of the Phelps Dodge corporation. said yesterday that al- though recent developments in the silver market are not yet thoroughly understood in the west, the Copper Queen shelter will protect ore ship pers in every way possible.
 He stated that for the present il will be necessary for the Smelter to continue to make settlements for sil- yer on the basis of the Engineering x Mining Journal of New York quota tion. However, the Copper Queen branch desires to assure all domestic shippers that if the government all lows the shelter higher price for silver. further adjustments will be made later by the shelter with the shippers. Mir Webster stated that the procedure to De followed in mak- ing these adjustments has not yet been determined upon, as the gov ernment has not yet issued the form of affidavit to be used, but that prob ably, when this form of affidavit is published. it will be necessary for the shippers to tho shelter to sign these affidavits showing that their pro- duction of silver is domestic, and these affidavits will have to be for warded to the proper government au- thorities.
