BUTLER SEES YOLSTEAD
 LAW AS NEARING END
Columbia President Forecasts Change-Others' Opinions
 Are Different.

New York, April tH1 --- Straw votes and referAnda and the trend Of public sentiment have become a battle ground over which political leaders and organizations arc tilt Ing opinions about prohibition. Weekend fire varied from decla- rations that anti.prohibition senti- ment was sweeping the country to flat denials Of the value of straw " votes at all and tho prediction that the republican party would be ruined if 1t ceased to be a dry party. The proposed state referen- dunn in New York was the es- pecsal object of a harrage from prohibitionists.
 pr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university and leading republican. forecast a speedy end for prohibition.
 In an address in 1924 Dr. Butler predicted the end of prohibition in five years. Yesterday he said the tide of popular resentment and revolt" was flowing more rapidly than he had anticipated.
 He also asserted the issue would be important in senatorial and gubernatorial elections in 1926, and will dominate the presidential election Of 1928.
 Dr. Butler suggested as a. flor ward facing and constructive policy Of hope" repeal of the Volstead act, repeal of the eighteenth amend ment and a system of liquor con- trol for New York state patterned upon tho Quebec law.
 The contemplated New York state referendum was opposed as a buck passing. obligation shift ing trick" in a letter to members ot the legislature from Orville s. Pollard, head of the legal depart Inent of the state anti-saloon league.
 Representative r. II. LaGuardia socialist. New York, said the referendum would be waste Of time and money and would decide nothing. The dry majority in the house. he asserted Is sufficient to nullify any possible wet gesture from New York state.

Bad Breath
Comes from Constipation

Comes from Constipation Don't try to cover up bad breath. Remove the cause. Get rid of constipation and your breath will become fresh and sweet. Even more important, you will notice immediate im. Provement in your health and spirits.
 Constipation is dangerous for anybody. NujoI is safe for everybody. It does not affect the stomach and is not ab. sorbed by the body. Medical authorities approve NujoI be. cause it is SO safe, so gentle and SO natural in its action.
 Nujol makes up for a def. ciency of natural lubricant in the intestines. It softens the waste matter and thus permits thorough and regular bowel movements without griping.
 NujoI can be taken for any length of time without i'll ef. fleets. Unlike laxatives ,St does not form a habit and can be discontinued at any time.
 Ask your druggist for Nujol.

wise, after the appropriation is made
there may not be time enough for
the preliminaries and to let the con-
tract before the federal money is lost.
Mr.. Goodman said there is danger
that several hundred thousand dol
lars of federal aid road money will
be lost to Arizona because of Ari-
Zona's present inability to match it
unless something is at once done. He
said Congressman Carl Hayden as
sured him of his support in plan
to induce the u. S. bureau Of public
roads to apply this money to building
highway from Cameron to Lees
Ferry, all the route being on fed
eral domain. Mr.. Goodman said he
is sure the cooperation of u. S. SEN
ators Ashurst and Cameron can be
secured to get the money applied
there. He said that 5000 cars last
year visited the north rim of Grand
Canyon, and had there been a bridge
at Lees Ferry and good road south
i, from there at least 5000 of them
would have come this way.
Carl c. Mayhem, iive-wire proprie-
tor of Oak Greek Lodge, confessed he
didn't know just how best t. ver-

mic attractions everywhere surround

Carl spoke of the beauties of Oak
Greek Canyon, especially of West
Fork, which, he said, is canyon
all by itself, and not tributary to any
thing. Despite of the fact that it is
the most beautiful spot around Flag
staff, he said, it is little known.
Though accommodations at Oak
Greek have been added to, there are
MT nearly enough for those who want
hotel conveniences. And there is d
greater lack of cabin facilities for
those who can't afford to pay hotel
rates. He asked Forest Supervisor
Ed Miller if cabin sites could not be
leased at Oak Greek and Mr.. Miller
said that probably soon will be ar
ranged.
Miss Margaret Stewart, secretary
| Chamber of Commerce, described the
! cleanup campaign, about which there
IS another story in this issue. She

man in charge of the campaign.
I. B. Koch presented an illustrated
brochure showing our Rotary sign at
the east end of town when it was first

DR.. Cogshall, head of the depart

last 80 years. He said he wondered
