E. 1. Whiting spent Tuesday and Wednesday morning in Hol- brook, he said he was, surprised to find that so many Ethere are interested in the auto races and ithe St. John celebration in general. And the prospects are good that some of the Holbrook racers will be here with their racing cars. The committee on races (Eliis Palmer, w. B. Parks and E. 1. Whiting) will go over the road between here and Gal lup, next Saturday to see that the road is in good shape and also to make arrangements along the way for the race. The committee is considering the problem of making the race free for all cars or barring the high power racers. The other committees are doing good work and indications are that this will be the biggest and best celebration that St. Johns has ever seen. Let everybody boost and make the whole affair what it should be, the grandcst 4th of July celebration ever wit messed in Apache county.

It has been used in many epidemics of whooping cough, with pronounced success. It is safe and pleasant to take,

Lunbago

This is a rheumatism of the muscles of the back. Itcomes on suddenly and is quite painful. Every movement aggravates the disease. Go to bed, keep quiet and have Chamberlain's Lini- ment applied and a quick recov- cry may be expected. Mrs. F, J. Damn. Brockport, N. Y., writes: I can honestly say that Chamber lain's Liniment cured me of lum- bugo a year ago last summer. When 1 began using it, I was flat on my back in bed and could not turn to the left or right. 1 had a bottle of Chamberlain's Liniment in the house and thls was applied to my back. It promptly drove away the pains and aches" Adv

Taft, Senator Harding is the first
President since Rutherford B. Hayes,
to use more than one Christian name.
Grover Cleveland, William Mckinley,
Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow
Wilson (who dropped his first name
Thomas, early in the career) got along
without middle names or initials. The
middle initial, incidentally, is almost
exclusively an American characters
tic. An Englishman may call himself
John James Smith, but practically new
er John ]. Smith. A Frenchman may
be baptised Auguste Charles Jesus
Marie Georges Dupont, but he will be
known to the world as Georges Du-
pont, and probably will sign himself

name Is puzzling to a Frenchman.

Rat Heroes.

From Paris comes the news that
the authorities are making war on
rats. But the despised rat once did
the French good turn, according to
Colonel Repington's history Of the
war. He says: 'sOn the parapets of
the front trenches are what look like
window flower boxes. They contain
chemical materials for making smoke
screen to lift the German gas when It
comes All the rats In the trenches
congregate round these smoke boxes
when the gas comes, as they realize
that they save themselves from sufro-
cation. This process Of lifting the
German poison gas was discovered
quite by chance. During n gas at
tack some straw was set on fire by ac-
cident and forced the German smoke
up. The rats came in swarms to SQUAT
round the burning straw and gave the
French the hint"

Energy In the Atom.

The knowledge of radioactivity,
which has been growing since the dis
covery of the X-ray and of radium, has
revealed the atom as a tremendous
storehouse of energy. The atomic en-
ergy contained, for example, in the
two-inch piece of chalk with which
the lecturer makes his diagrams is
calculated to be 300O0O,OOO foot tons
enough to raise 100000 tons 5000
feet. At present we do not know how
to liberate the power. We know that IT
exists only by observing the spontane-
GUS disintegration of radioactive SUBJ
stances; but knowledge sometimes
comes quickly; persons now living
may see the day when atomic energy
will be used.-Youth's Companion.
