ADVERTIsEMENT
Would You Like
To Stop Smoking
for a While?

To think of giving up smoking is
unpleasant to most people-even to
those who know that too much
tobacco Injuries them-and to really
quit takes more determination than
many have. They fear the craving
will be greater than they can
voluntarily endure. You can make
it easy to quit the habit by getting
Nicotol tablets and taking them as
directed. The habit really quits
you and it's departure is a pleasure
equal to your former indulgence.
1 If you want to know how much
easier it is to quit the habit with
| the aid of Nicotol than without it,
go twenty-four hours without to-
bacco and note what an effort it
costs you. Then begin using to-
bacco as usual and take Nicotol
tablets. At the end of week stop
smoking or chewing for a day and
it is probable you will have no.
desire to resume. At least your
desire will be greatly diminished
and another week or two should
make it not only possible. but a
pleasure, to quit.
/ Nicotol is sold by druggists gen.
orally on a positive money back
guarantee if it fails to do all that
is claimed. Il is sold and guar
anteed in this city by many good
druggists. especially by the Peoples
Drug Stores.

AND EATING
 |CE CREAM, PRETTY
 ERASHOULD WORRY

Confined in a big and sunny room and fed on ice. cream three times day, pretty We're Mort has maie her self the pet of the county jail and is taking her long and amazing string of adventures with a happy girlishness that is entirely at variance with the trying situations that are hers.
 She has bean under duress since 10 D. m. January 30, when a federal off, cer brought her here from Wicken- burg and booked her for violation of the Mann act" a showing being made that she entered this country from England illegally by posing as the wife of Harry O'Brien. The girl is barely 20 and gives some astounding reasons for leaving England. where she claims to have been reared in luxury.
 She says O'Brien wanted to marry her, just as many others did, but that he is too young for her. Her troubles began in Wickenburg, when O'Brien was shot and seriously injured by an elderly man who became interested in her case.
 Sheriff J. c. Montgomery released her to the Crittenden home here sat urday, feeling that the home would be a better place for her, but she was anything but a pet there, and kicked over the traces until the home man. agement was glad to send her back to the men in charge of the jail. Now she is happy again, while the jailers are going broke in their efforts to feed her all the ice cream she wants.
 Miss Mort now faces the prospect of being adopted by Phoenix man, Ma jor c. H. Harter, whose home was broken up by bereavement, Sheriff Montgomery having interested himself in her behalf. As Miss Mort entered lV n6 Io of support. she must be deported to England unless special rulings can be obtained in her behalf and some asSur- ance for her support secured.
 Although reluctant about marriage. especially to young applicants, Miss Mort evidences keen relish for adop- tion by an elderly man and says she is willing to keep his house in apple pie order. Her experience as a house. keeper is limited, it being her claim that she never used a broom in her whole lifetime until yesterday, when she decided to clean up her room in the jail.
 She was highly elated about her per- formance, pointing with pride to her nice, clean floor and to the pile of rub Dish, dating back to 1870 Or there abouts, that she had swept under her bed and concealed by blanket dra- peries. The sheriff promptly volun- teered to have trusty take the rub Dish out
 Although the Jail fare is rated the best of any jail in the southwest, it is agreed by Sheriff Montgomery an1 everybody else that it is not good enough for the dainty victim of the law, hence the ice cream fare which she appears to relish at any old time.
 Miss Mort hasn't much to say in compliment of the Phoenix county jail, but she is strong for the hard boiled Jailers with the big keys, and she shows no signs of wasting away As she is federal prisoner. Sheriff Mont can venture no opinions on when her release will come. but he has provided a guardian for her in case she gets out, and he says there is little doubt of her starving to death while she boards at the Hotel Montgomery.

K|DD|ES TAKE MUCH
 INTEREST IN COMING
 CONTEST IN SCHOOLS

All literature and endorsements of the boys and girls U. S. army essay contest February 20, have been re- ceived from the government by John D. Loper and are being distributed among the principals of the public schools, it has been announced.
 At the Phoenix chamber of com merce, which is fostering the move ment on behalf of the city and county, it was announced that reports are that the students are taking great inter est in the forthcoming contest and are anxious to enter it for the sake of the prizes which the winers will receive
 School officials have reported to the chamber of commerce that the plan as outlined by the government is a sp1en- did one for increasing patriotism among the coming generation. The topic for the essay, What Are the Benefits of Enlistment in the U. s. Army" opens up a wide field for thought along pa triotic lines, and goes farther, for un- der the new peace army program an enlisted man may learn any trade or craft and come out of the army pre- pared to take his place in the ranks of skilled men.
 There are 5S recruiting districts in the United States. The government will offer three prizes medals and cups-for the best essays received from these districts. Each district will se- iecL one essay as the pest rom that district and each school will select one essay as the best from the school Local prizes are being urged so that should the child lose in the national contest he may win local prize. For the city of Phoenix, Mack Gardner has offered $125 diamond ring for the best essay.
 A bulletin received by the chamber of commerce from the recruiting pub- licity bureau, U. g. Army, 461 Eighth Ave, New York City. gives a list of local prizes offered by cities through out the nation. Chicago has offered as a total in prizes the sum of $3.000 for it's school district. Only a few of the prizes are reported in this bulletin with that more will be reported later. The prizes in other cities. as reported in this bulletin, range from S75 to $500.
 There is, no limit to the number of prizes which may be offered in any community. A Los Angeles merchant. for example. has offered a s200 cash prize for the best essay in the Los Arizona district. which in- cludes Phoenix. Others. 1t is said, are to offer prizes in Phoenix and smaller towns of the county.

 FUR STUDY PERIOD

Arizona's child labor laws have specific provisions for employers who refuse to release their "child labor for attendance at part-time schools and classes, according to an opinion just rendered by F.

 Mentions Age Limitations
 Concerning age limitations. particuI- arly in regard to pupils who have com pleted the eighth grade and who are still under Is years, Mcbride holds that such children are required to continue attending the school and he quotes the following from the 1919 session Laws:
 ..All children over eight years of age shall attend school for as many weeks as the schools in the district in which they reside shall be in session until they have reached the age of sixteen, except children of such physical dis ability as to unfit them for school duties. which disability shall be certi- fled to by regular physician, and ex- cept that children who have reached the age of fourteen years n>-S be ex- cused from such school attendance to enter regular employment"
