That is the thought so often expressed
in letters recommending Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. These wo-
men know what they have suffered, they
describe their symptoms and state how
thew were finally made well. Just plain
statements, but they want other women
to be helped.
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
Mound is a medicine made from medl-
cinal roots and herbs, and without drugs,
to relieve the sickness women so often
have which is indicated by backacne,
weak weak feelings, nervousness, and no am
bition to get anything done or to 60
anywhere. 1t has helped many women.
Why not try it?

I'VE should change our minds on
that question. The only difference be-

paid and the money merchants, who do
nothing to build the dam and deserve
nothing, will get nothing"

There need be no difficulty about

sence of six months, P. G. Beckett,
general manager of the corporation

back here has no special significance
Mr.. Beckett said
When asked concerning the rumor
that has been circulated in this dis
trict, and even appeared in an article
in an Ell Paso paper, regarding the
remodelling of the local smelter, Mr..
Beckett said it was unfounded. While
the corporation has plans for remodel
ing of the smelter in it's possession,
and has had for some time, there was
no possible chance that the work
would be started within the near fut-
ure he said.

Raumaker. .t.
The -r99 against the carriers has
been filed to reduce the freight rate
on crude oil and its hy-products from

corresponding reduction in towns
supplied from the two points.

CHANGE NAME OF BREWERY
GULCH? ABSOLUTELY NOT, SAY
RESIDENTS OF THAT SECTION

With citizens on Laundry Hill pc
titioning the council to change the
name OF the hill to something less
distasteful, there is a growing senti
ment in some circles for changing the
names of other sections of the city
that are now bearing titles that are
not particularly suggestive of culture
and refinement, as it were. However,
the present titles of hills, canyons and
streets seem to suit the majority of
the old timers, at least.
For instance-Brewery Gulch.
To dyed-in-the-wool prohibitionists
the name is slap in the face. To
those who still partake when they can
get it, of the forbidden beverage, the
name Brewery Gulch is soothing and
encouraging. Some call it Brewery
Avenue, feeling that the avenue part
sounds better than "gulch," but Brew
cry Gulch it still is to the majority of
Bisbee residents.
Shall brewery Gulch be changed?

Gulch has been good enough for us

What do we care about it being

Gil appropriates enough money to
keep IL open to traffic No sir, I'm
opposed to changing the name of
Brewery Gulch, and if anyone talks
of changing it I'm going to introduce
a bill in the next legislature to amend
the constitution so that Brewery
Gulch will never be changed to Bryan
Boulevard, Volstead Drive or w. c.
T. u. street. That old brewery was
once one of the greatest institutions
in the city, and it still would be if
