THE LURE OF DEATH VALLEY

One might search in vain find the origin of the myth
that there mineral treasures in the bed of that which
once covered all Of what is Death Valley. great
probability IS that when the water submergng all of
that now unspeakably dreary waste of land it such
body OF water that which has made the Dead Sea for
ages almost putrid and inhospabe TO life of any kind
There is scientific basis for conjecture that in the de-
posts il left subsdng there can ever found anything
precious None the less the bones found in that
waste those Of prOSpecOr searching either for the precious
metals for deposits of other things Of great commercial
value IN commercial and scientific age are, by far the

DIARREEAI. DISEASES

1 A considerable numDc-' of Ases OF
diarrhea appeared last month. In
one locality particularly, the suffer
ing was great among adults as well
- Children, though children as usual
were most often affected. Twenty
five children died of diarrhcal dis
eases, of which number q were un-
der year of age.
/ This brings US to the consideration
of an old and very grave problem.
A careful survey has been made
/ to ascertain what food was given to
each of those who died, and several
hundred others who have been i'll.
Many parents are exceedingly care
full of the quality and quantity of the
food taken by their children at their
regular meals, but will supply them
literally with money with which to
buy confections and as a result many
Of them eat too much ice cream,
fruit and candy.
It is not uncommon to sec small
children eating raw cucumbers and
potatoes that have neither been
washed nor peeled.
Fruit venders throw decaying fruit
into containers to be removed with
the garbage, and knowing this the
children of the poor pick out such as
is not wholly rotten and eat it, others
procure and eat much unripe fruit and
it is remarkable that the number who
are syeiously i'll is not larger.
Every mother or eXpectant mother
should obtain detailed information
from competent physician or well
fare nurse concerning the care and
feeding of her children for it is 2
matter that requires careful study
and. strict attention to details if you
wish your children to have the best
opportunity to grow into strong,
wholesome men and women.

SUGAR BOARDING

With sugar coming down and the last frenzied months

of added stocks which should make fall prices lower yev
Not only these prices worth waiting for, but
the present stock of sugar may result in their sudden up

PAY OLD DEBTS AND
BUY LIBERTY BONDS NOW

Liberty bonds are not very good col
lateral 10 offer 10 banks, because 3
per cent interest on loans is demanded
by the federal reserve banks, hence the
bonds are downtown TO about 50
cents ON the dollar on some issues.
But now Is the time to buy liberty
bonds, for they will surely touch par
as soon as the initiation Of American
currency Is sufficiently reduced.
Also. IL might be well 10 mention
while the currency Is inflated and
money is easier to get, is the time Il
pay old debts. You can pay back the
dollar you borrowed with right around
thirty-five cents. But the dollar will
increase In value and will be much
harder TO obtain In proportion in the
near future.

ROBBED OF TIRES

Jesus and Francisco Lozano are in
III Paso out on $2,500 bond each,
with robbing the Snodgress
Motor Co. here Of about $500 worth NJ
automobile tires last Sunday. The ar
rest followed a chase by Deputies John
Jackson and Jack Smyer and ID. o..
SnOdgreSs, the latter owner OF the tires,
in the early morning. Eight of the tires
were found at Lanark by the party
which was following the alleged thieves
too close for comfort. Sheriff Simpson
had telephoned to III Paso and the fu-
gitives were arrested just as they were
entering FL Paso.
The men were arrested on a fugitive
warrant and they must be extradited
here This Is rather difficult process.
They were re-arrested on charge Of
bringing stolen goods into the state Of
Texas. but escaped and are now at
large.
The discovery OF the robbery was
made by DIR. g. II. Young. who hap
pened to pass the Snodgress Motor Co.'S
place Of business on Pine street shortly
before 0 o'clock In the morning. The
robbers had taken pane Of glass out
OF the door and carried the tires to
their waiting automobile across the
street. They must have started for III
Paso about O'Clock in the morning
and drove at a rapid rate. The tracks
showed that they had come straight
from FL Paso here to commit the rob
berry.
All OF the stolen tires were recovered
