They told me that nothing would getting about like sixteen year old bcy," said Joseph Hoetzel, 526 Ma toma St., San Francisco, Cal.
 For five years or more I suffer- ed from rheumatism, all over my bodv. My hands and arms swelled terribly, and at times my fingers were so stiff and swelled I couldn't hold a knife. I couldn't even tie my neck-tie, or hold pencil to sign my name. In fact I couldn't use my arms at all sometimes. My feet swelled so had to wear my overshoes, and even then just split them all up in order to get them on.
 "I couldn't sleep day or night. In fact it was agony to even turn from one side to the other in bed.
 When they told me nothing could help me I went down in Santa Clara County, thinking the change might help me. Finally l started taking Tanlac with the results that now don't feel like the same man. hardly have a trace of that rheuma- tism left, am working every day and eating like horse, so that I'm strong CT and better in every way than I have been for years.

P. R. Mines, state immigration commissioner, has written the Bisbee chamber of commerce asking for an unemployment survey of the district, which the governor of Arizona and the president of the United States have called for from every city in the country. Mines asked for the num- Der of men unemployed, the number emrSed on public work, the public works contemplated, the number of other improvements going in the city and the number Of men employed on them and how many are receiving if nancial aid from public or private re- sources.

Old Offender Again
 In Tolls of Law; to
 Complete Sentence

TOMBSTONE, Nov. 16. - w. w. Gunneoylds, sentenced to serve a term in the county jail for transport ing liquor, was again arrested in Tombstone this morning by Sheriff J.. E. Hood, charged with transporting and selling liquor. Gunneoylds, who pleaded guilty on the first charge, was released shortly before the expiration of sentence due to good behavior, on condition that he leave the state. He promised to leave but this morning Sheriff Hood noticed that he was hold ing out at a Mexican house in the west part of town, and accompanied by Deputy Harry Rafferty, went down to arrest him. A search of the house re- vealed five gallons of Mexican tequil- Ia. Mrs. Ramona G. Villareal and Juan Gonzales, occupying the place, were also arrested and all confined to the county jail on the liquor charge Gunneoylds will serve out the remain der of his old sentence and stand trial on the new charge.
 Gunneoylds is the man, according to the officers, who several years ago put up a pitched battle against then Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler and Depu- ty Lafe Gibson, when they attempted to intercept him with pack train loaded with contraband liquor, near Light, in the Sulphur Springs Valley. After firing several fusillades at the officers they made their escape into Mexico.
