DRY LAW BOOMS BOTTLE TRADE CHICAGO, Jan. 28—Tales of the fortunes made by bootleggers who were pre-prohibition bums now are very, very old stuff. This is a new one. It's about a man who is accumulating a robust little bundle with the proper green complexion by legitimately helping make a cripple of the liquor laws. This is how opportunity built a pitfall for him and began stuffing his pockets: The Chicago police, yielding to one of those quiet urges which policemen have when one expects it of them least, began raiding restaurants, cafes and cabarets very diligently some months ago. They have been at it diligently ever since. Arrests were made where the raiders found liquor actually in the possession of a diner. The idea was that one might be boiling drunk but that would be no evidence that he had violated the prohibition statutes unless the liquor was found. After the first few raids it got to be the custom for diners to toss their flasks and bottles out onto the dance floor the moment any policemen put in an appearance. Indeed, on one occasion there was a heap of flasks and quartz and fifths on the dance floor of one restaurant that faintly resembled Mont Blanc. The police were not quick enough to catch anyone red-handed. Congressmen may not be in favor of tax reduction, but if they value their jobs, they'd better be—Muncia Evening Press. SIERRA CO. MAKES NOTABLE RECORD DOWNIEVILLE, Jan. 28.—No criminals or insane persons were committed to state institutions during 1923 from Sierra county, and but one youth was given a term in a reform school.

LEAGUE MEETS GENEVA, Jan. 28.—The league of nations today convoked a conference at Rome for Feb. 15, to discuss naval disarmament.

Center St. Phone 926 Of Interest to Santa Fe Patrons Of Interest to Santa Fe Patrons Have you compared after-the-war prices of what you buy and sell with those of a pre-war normal year—say, 1922 with 1915? Santa Fe System Lines have made such a comparison, and you will be interested in the result: The Santa Fe System sells transportation only, but buys steel, fuel, lumber and all kinds of building and construction material; and is a very large user of labor. The Santa Fe System received in 1922, $1.45 for hauling the same amount of freight the same distance that it received $1.00 for in 1915, and $1.60 for hauling a passenger the same distance it received $1.00 for in 1915. Or, combining freight and passenger, it received $1.50 for the same service it received $1.00 for in 1915; the increase being 50 per cent. The Santa Fe System paid $2.11 for the same quantity of fuel that $1.00 paid for in 1915; $1.77 for the same quantity of materials and supplies, other than fuel, that $1.00 paid for in 1915; $2.22 for the same number of hours worked and same quantity of materials and supplies as it paid $1.00 for in 1915. It paid $2.90 in taxes in 1922 for every $1.00 paid in 1915. Santa Fe System employees received an average annual compensation in 1922 of $1.81 for every $1.00 received in 1915, and the cost of living of such employees was $1.62½ in 1922 for every $1.00 in 1915. Freight rates and passenger fares cannot be reduced until taxes and the cost of operation are reduced. Cost of operation cannot be substantially reduced until the price of labor and material is reduced. And the price of labor and material cannot be reduced until the cost of living is reduced. W. B.

The S. Q. Swwinging In Monti SA MEN'S 3 Final Day Isbell's Mineral Fresno, Calif., Jan. 5th, 1924. C. A. Isbell. Dear Sir—It is with pleasure that I give you this testimonial in favor of the wonderful mineral you are selling; also the female treatment combined. Both have saved my life and done wonders for me. I took sick December 14, 1922, with hemorrhages caused from overwork and ulcers of the womb. I suffered with this for the rest of the Winter and part of the Summer. I was a nervous wreck. I could not eat or sleep, and was sick all of the time, could hardly walk. I felt so bad that I did not care what happened to me. The doctors said I was an anaemic, and they wanted to operate on me when I got in a better condition, but nothing seemed to help me. I got disgusted and quit. I saw Isbell's Mineral advertized in Casner's Drug Store and decided to try it. Have taken seven packages and have gained 12 pounds and can do all of my work. After using half a box of the female treatment it stopped the hemorrhages. I lost quite a few ulcers without a pain, and never have any more pain in my sides. And eat, sleep and work. And really I do feel like a new woman. So I owe my new life to Isbell's Mineral and Female Treatment, which has saved me from a horrid operation and a big doctor bill. I would be willing to tell any one who wishes to ask me anything about this wonderful mineral and female treatment. MRS. HERMAN BLOOD. 1730 Clay St., Fresno ISBELL'S MINERAL. The great remedy. It ought to be better known. Ten weeks back I was hobbling along on crutches on account of blood poisoning. The Doctor had a hole cut and burnt in my left foot about an inch deep, and such torture when it was operated on and treated afterwards, and while suffering so much pain. I got 6 packages of Isbell's Mineral and took one as a tenic and put the other 5 packages in, a large bucket with about three gallons of water and kept the water as hot as I could stand to keep my foot in it for three hours. I went to bed and never had any more pain. I threw the crutches aside in two days and my foot was well in 10 days. It stops the toothache for my children in a very few seconds. Try it.
