GOVERNOR HUNT TO BUILD
ROADS WITH PRISON LABOR

Prison labor will probably be used
in the construction of some roads in
Arizona, Governor Hunt told a score
of Bisbee men who met with him to
discuss highway construction and i'm
provement plans. The governor said
he hoped to see prisoners working on
roads in the near future and intimat-
ed that one of the first pieces Of road
work they would be placed upon
would Be the continuation, for eight
miles more, of the paving on the Bis
bee Tombstone highway.
The governor, speaking after a ban
quet rendered him and visiting fire
officials and insurance men by the
Warren volunteer fire department,
said he considered the Colorado river
question one Of such vital Importance
to the people Of the state that he be-
lieyed any questions concerning Ari-
zona's right along the river should
be submitted for approval or rejection
to the people themselves and not left
up to the state legislature.

diabetic to go to work again to max
ing insulin, or else we must squeeze
insulin out of the pancreas of sheep
and inject that insulin into the veins
of the diabetic.
Insulin injections are in no sense a
cure for diabetes, for the injection
must be kept up three times every
day so long as the person lives, OF
until the pancreas again becomes able
to make its own insulin.
But at any rate it is a wonderful
discovery and it is prolonging the
lives of a great number of diabetes.
However, it would be much wiser
for people to let chiropractor exam
inc their spinal column occasionally
to see if the nerves which carry the
working force to the pancreas are
free from impingement. Our pan
creas is well able to make its own
insulin, providing the nerves are free
to carry power to the pancreas.
Better see chiropractor now and
find out. A stitch in time saves nine.
Chiropractic adjustments are also
good for catarrh, headaches, asthma,
bronchitis, hay fever, stomach trou-
BILE, kidney trouble, liver trouble, heart
trouble, neuralgia, neufitis, rheuma-
tism, lunlbago, sciatica, cough, colds,
tonsilitis, flu, constipation, indiges-
ton, pains in the back, nervousness,
loss of appetite, loss of weight, nose
bleed, and all children's diseases.

Insulin, the New Treatment for Diabetes

Insulin, which is a secretion of the
pancreas of human beings and of ami
mails, can be injected into diabetes
after each meal and this injection will
enable the diabetic to use the sugar
in the blood and thus will prevent the
sugar from being excreted by the kid
neys.
This method of treating diabetes
has just become understood and prac-
ticed by the medical doctors during
the last year or two. The discovery
was made by DR.. T. F. Banting of
Toronto, Canada, and he has just been
awarded the Nobel prize for it.
Insulin is not a drug or a medi-
iological product made only in the
pancreas. When we are in health our
pancreas makes insulin for US right
along every day, and because we have
this insulin made daily fer US by our
own pancreas we are able to use
up the sugar and starch which we eat.
Because you must remember that
the presence of insulin is absolutely
necessary in order for our system to
be able to handle the sugar and starch
which we eat, and if we do not have
insulin, then the sugar accumulates
in excess in the blood, and so the kid
neys remove the sugar from the blood
and excrete the. sugar in the urine.
This condition of sugar in the urine is
called diabetes
Now, in order to cure diabetes we
must either cause the pancreas of the

OTERO LOSES HIS ROLL;

Missing his train Friday night prov

it proved to be a big loss to him.

about 4 a. m. after missing No. q

from the Charles Daze feed corral on
East Fourth avenue, stuck two guns
in his face and commanded him to
stick 'ein up. They took his roll Of
$170 and his watch and chair and
then ordered him to move on.
Otero was at the Boston Pool Hall
earlier in the evening. 1t is thought
that the robbers saw his roll at that
time and laid for him. He could not

Eleventh and Twelfth Streets
to be Made One Way
Streets to Relieve Conges-
tion Of Traffic

Action taken by the city commission
this morning. IL made final. will max,
Eleventh and Twelfth streets one way
streets. between L4rce and washingt IN.
The action of the commission was in
the form of an amendment to the city
street ordinance, which passed on first
reading at this mornings meeting Ac-
cording 10 the amendment all traffic
in the direction Of the court house will
he directed down Twelfth. and all traffic
away from the court house will travel
Eleventh street.
The action Of the commission comes
as result Of the heavy increase in
traffic on the streets named. and il was
thought that action should be taken to
shift some of this traffic away from these
narrow and conecsted streets. At busy
times of the day, and in the early even
ings. these streets are so conrestcd
that accidents are almost unavoidable.
The change will eliminate the hazards
ut such busy corners a Twelfth and
Elizabeth. and mt the same time. the
commissioners are Of the opinion that
II will not Inconvenience the public to any
great extent.
The amendment also included a pro-
vision permitting gasoline stations at the
curb on Washington and Levee streets.
The ordinance prohibiting Such stations
on other streets was not changed
The amendment providing for one
wnv traffic must be passed M second
reading. and the regular period Of adj
vertising and instruction Of the public
must elapse before the measure j. en-
forced.
Another important measure. passed
on final reading. and requiring
only the advertising periods be-
fore going into effect. is the reduc-
ticn Of the charges for water and sewer
connections. The price for water con
nection will be reduced from $iI.J0 to
SIS. and that for sewer connection from
$15 to SO.
The city engineer was authorized to
make n trial Of concrete slabs. to he used
in repairing the streets in places where
the creosote blocks srernct ip-good con
dition. II was pointed OUT that the use
Of concrete would he much cheaper than
If the city was forced to buy blocks. and
concrete would probably be more safis-
factory. Several bad spots in the pave
ment will be repaired in this way in the
near future. II is stated.
A tentative ordinance dealing with the
use and operation of the new city alb
batoir. now nearing completion. was
adopted on first reading but the or
dinance will be acted upon in its com
plcte form later. The commissioners
accepted the bid Of the Pntteson Motor
Company for a Ford truck chassis. and
DIR. Spikes. city sanitary inspector. was
authorized 10 have the desired type of
body built for the truck. which will be
used in connection with the abbatoir.
The commission also amended the
city ordinances. requiring all dairymen
70 furnish test certificates that their
herds were fire. from tuberculosis.
