Arizona and New Mexico. Chicago Record-Herald. Arizona and New Mexico, the last remaining territories ,in our old-established American sense, wait for admission to the Union as sep arate States. That they ought to come in together as one state is the belief of nearly every one who has studied the facts with care and with out bias. That they will not con sent to admission together as one single state as long as they have of separate admission is only too well established by recent history. Giveu the admission ol these two states, and the nation is doomed permanently to the evils which will anse from the existence of a group of six or eight states in the Rocky Mountain and Great Desert region, alh so far as one can forecast, bound to remain scanty in population, and oece, under our constitution, dis l,rP:rt innately strong- in their in-' "utnce ujMiu the election of the pre sidency, in the upper branch of the federal legislature and upon the ad option of amendments to the consti tution it-elf.

The demand for that wonderful Stomach, Liver and Kidney cure, Dr. King's New Life Pills is as tounding, says Freeman Drug peo ple, they say they never saw the like. Its because they never tail to cure Sour Stomach, Constipa tion, Indigestion, Biliousness, Jaun dice, Chills and Malaria. Only 25c. Uses of Extravagance. Washington Post The criticism is often neard that this is an age of extravagance and waste, and that, in conquence, ,1 n An thnvn m mtwi r r human oiirTarinrr .i .i iiii x inan.tDere snouia oe. x. T .nvnrmiia simplicities of former generations, are recalled regretfully. It is true there is wastefulness in these times, but waste was also a fault ot years gone by. Wastefulness is a grev ious costly fault at any time. The destruction of resources, whether by a nation or the people as individuals means a disappearance, a devasta tion of something." But extrava gance, if by it be meant the buying of luxuries that one could be com fortable without, or the gratifica tion of desires at an expense which ' cannot be'easily afforded, is not a j waste, for there is resultant advan tage to those who profit materially and in the higher ideals and stan-; lards of living thereby encouraged. If all the people bad skimped and saved and bought only what was actually needed for a bare existence, the world would have moved slow ly indeed. Each great invention, when first put before the people, must of necessity be a luxury, and it is no longer such when the peo ple cannot do without it The ex travagances of yesterday are neces sities of today. By such evolution man shows his progress, his better ment, and it is because of his great er desires, that are not easily attain able or within his present means, that he has the incentive to do more to accomplish for the future.

Mr. John F. Cunningham of Cunningham N. C, probably one of the largest tobacco growers in the world, says: MI have been using your fertilizer for twenty, years., I have sold tobacco made by this fertilizer as high as 90c a lb. Virginia-Carolifia Fertilizer used by the best tobacco farmers in the Tobaccd States. It stands upon its merits. There is no better fertilizer made or used in the United States. I take great pleasure in recommending it not only to the farmers of Virginia and North and South Carolina, but to all the tobacco growers in the Union." The best results are invariably obtained with the use of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer, Over one million tons were sold last year.
