does not necessarily kill, blind or paralyze, the tissues of the stomach are destroyed and organs generally so effected that disease is certain to en- sue. In view of the fact that the pro- cess of crbolic acid or similar disin- fectant ,and that the process of con- pounding bootleg whiskey contemplat- es the use of lead, copper and zinc poisons, to say nothing of fusel oil, it naturally follows that drinkers of it are taking long chances on their health if not their lives.
 Schools of instruction in many states, in which the general princi- ples of enforcement are taught to agents, have proved most helpful.
 Steps have been taken to check the operations of a fleet of runners Nop- erating out of British Columbia ports, ostensibly for Mexican ports, but di- verting liquor along the California coast. Evidence is being gathered by officials in that section which they believe will be sufficient to justify Canadian authorities in seizing the ships when they return to their home ports, under the international rule that ships are forfeitable to the Gov ernment if they falsify their mani- fests. The mouth of the Columbia river is being patrolled to prevent such boats fro incoming into that ter ritory from British Columbia.

DRY ENFORCEMENT CHIEF SAYS GETTING
 BETTER ORGANIZED

Director M. E. Cassady announces that advices from Washington are to the effect that the new fiscal year finds Commissioner R. A. Hayes at tacking enforcement problems in a fully organized manner on basis ap- preaching maximum efficiency.
 The past fiscal year having been devoted to reorganization work, the forces in various parts of the country have been augmented until the organ ization is no wpractically on the basis of the fiscal years appropriation.
 Commissioner Haynes states that the patriotic, law-abiding citizenship of the United States interested in law enforcement and good government never had more reason to be optimis- tic over the progress being made in this particular branch of law enforce ment work than at the present time. Seldom if ever has greater progress been made in such short length of time by any government in so large a task. The Commissioner states that many who year ago were antagonis- tic have now come to the point where they see most clearly that respect for law lies at the very basis of orderly government and any disrespect shown toward one law must of necessity un- deranine the authority of all laws and especially when the particular law held in contempt is part of our Con- stitution.
 Experiments in the industrial alco- hol and chemical division, due to the use of poisonous alcohol by bootleg gers, have resulted in regulations which materially checked the condi- tion. Commissioner Haynes advises that analyses made of "moonshine" reveal ed that liquor penetrating under the porcelain caps of Mason jars, corrod- es the zinc lining, with the result that the liquor contains poisonous zinc, which, though in quantities, can not be detected by taste alone.
 In relation to "home brew", a fast dying fad,' experiments reveal that poor materials, unclean utensils, un- sanitary, damp dark surroundings, mostly cellars, basements, sheds and stables, result in health-destroying concoction, the "kick" in most in- stances being due to the off products of fermentation or ptomaines.
 Analyses of synthetic whiskey, the present source of bootleggers' supply, show the favorite mixture to contain acetone and isopropyl alcohol added to pure ethyl alcohol, the first of which lacerates the stomach and the other paralyzes the. nerve centers. Various methods of coloring are employed, iodine in some instances being used, and while the resultant fake whiskey

ever makes an offer to a grower on his cattle. Reduced rates will mean
 that much less going to the railroad
 and that much more added to the growers price for his animals.
 Through the National Livestock association and United States Farm Bureau Federation, an earnest effort is being made to save the life of the
 War Finance corporation. This will result in livestock interests being able to get hold of long time loans to tide them over their industry. The cattle man needs at least two years to pro- duce a yearling steer before he can be put on the market. Very few fi- nancial houses today care to carry a two-year piece of paper. Thus the life of the War Finance corporation will mean financial salvation to cow men and at a very low rate of interest.
 Therefore the cause for the thought in this article: that Arizona cattlemen need, more than ever, united effort and a unity of power to bring about tax reductions, long term loans at reasonable interest rate, and a cutting in two of the burdensome railroad rates. With the packing in-. terests doing their best to increase consumption of meats and the cattle growers associations over the coun- try putting their untiring efforts to the reduction of production costs of cattle, the future of the beef indus try is assured. People will not quit eating meat and as long as meat is eaten it will be produced. The bot tom of the beef market has been reached and there is now way now to go but uuward. The speed by which the cattle industry will ascend de- bends upon the men in the cattle game. No outside industry will ad- wise them ho wto prosper-it can be done only by united effort on the part of the cattlemen themselves to pull out of the stump hole that now bogs and mires. It can be done and it must be done." |

MORE MEN THAN WOMEN HAVE APPENDICITIS

Medical reports show men are more subject to appendicitis although many sudden cases occur among women. It can be guarded against by preventing intestinal infection. The intestinal antiseptic Alder-i-ka, acts on both up- per and lower bowels, removing all foul, decaying matter which might
 cause infection. It brings out matter that you never thought was in your system and which may have been poisoning you for months. Alder-i-ka is excellent for gas on the stomach. Kingman Drug Co. Adv.

shutting down a property is a costly proposition that it was better to take this procedure than to take chance on continuing.
 From the above figures the people of the county may get a correct idea of the power situation. There is no need for worry yet because in the ten or twelve days to come there will be some means of furnishing more fuel oil. In the meantime however it is best to be careful not to waste any power.
 Should there be a change in the sit uation before Saturday night it may not be necessary for the mills at Oat- man to close down. The power com pany is trying several different sources but cannot offer any hope yet.

CATTLE BUSINESS IS
 SEEN DUE FOR SWING
 'UPW0RD, SAYS RICE

~Never before have the cattlemen aaf Arizona needed so much united eff Hort and determined purpose to help themselves over tn epresent rocks of
 Instability" says H. M. Rice, secre-
 tary of the Arizona Cattle Growers association.
 Costs of production of cattle on Arizona ranges is still above normal. The principal factors are high taxes, interest on money, and excessive rail- road rates out of our state, especially to California destinations" he said, continuing.
 "Only by the process of pruning each high expense can the cattlemen hope to place production costs back ao pre-war levels. "
 The present low level in cattle prices is the economic result of inflat- ed values and over production during 'thc war, combined with the apparent tact that very much decreased de- .nnand exists for beef cuts over the re- tail counter. 'a.s. D.. r.
 Many cries have been heard over the country that there is a shortage saf cattle in the United States since Srhe price break of over a year ago. While it is true that a decrease of ssame 23 per cent below normal since 1910 of cattle on the ranges exists in Arizona, the apparent fact must not be overlooked that the per capita consumption of beef in the United States has fallen from 7S pounds to 56A pounds. This represents a de-
 cline of about 27 per cent, while ex- ports of beef products have dropped ab per cent since the spring of 1920. Thus as measured by demand. there certainly is no shortage of supply at SIhs present time. Either demand lFnust be brought back to normal by reducing retail meat prices to a pop ular basis or the cattlemen of the country must openly further reduce the supply before the law of supply and demand can operate to raise cat tile prices.
 "Maat councils composed of whole sale and retail butchers are now ear nestiy at work in the larger cities of the East and on the Pacific coast ito lu;ing back to normal the consump- stisa uf beef. Through clean and fair advertising of facts this council is aasxing the public that there is ab- s6intSiy no grounds for condemning red meat in mems food, as a cause for innumerable diseases and ail- rnents. The consuming public is grad 'r1aIiy being brought back to higher ner capita consumption of meats, ssnOugh attractive recipes and posters aeA the use of the cheaper cuts of Heef. .
 Tne National Livestock association and the Western States associations nare hard at work on reduction of cat ' tie taxations, to somewhat near pre- war assessments. Wonderful results ; have been obtained by the Arizona association on this one high cost of z; production. These same associations of cattle raisers over the country are attacking the excessive freight rates that are still prevalent from the war .sseriod. Many cattlemen never pay freight bill but every buyer in every state deducts the entire freight charg- CTS to his place of shipment before he
