to get a few days off it will be to go to Springervile and see for ourselves.
 Gustav Becker. who has made his home in the southern town for many years past, is really the father of that section of Apache county. He is known as the great road booster of the south west, and it is to his indomitable energy and persistence that the communities in that part of Ari- zona have grown and prospered to the extent they have. He has placed Springerville on the map, where it will stay for all time to come. Tribune.

William Hammell, who has charge of the accounting depart ment of the Becker Mercantile Company of Springerville. was a business visitor in Holbrook for several days during the past week. Mir. Hammell has been employed by the Becker company for several years. He is a booster and says that they have about Springeryille one of the most beautiful places in Arizona.

The Pneumonia Month

March is a typical pneumonia month and usually gives a high rate of mortality for the disease. After a long and hard winter, the system losses much of it's resist ance and people grow careless. When every cold, no matter how slight, is given prompt and intel ligent attention, there is much less danger of pneumonia. It should be borne in mind that pneumonia is a germ disease and breeds in the throat. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is an expec- torant and cleans out the germ ladened mucus and not only cures a cold but prevents it's resulting in pneumonia. It is pleasant to take. Children take it willingly.

A HEALTH TALK.

Ladies' Day at the Atlas Bathes, is an event in Bridgeport. It brings forth women who frequently would gather in the homes the theatres and at musical events. It has become an institution, for there previously has been no place where the wholesome treatments of the water cure could so comfortably and so scientifically be applied.
 Fat women, women who have lost weight, and those seeking the pink of condition to their flesh are among the
