Interesting item on page 29. It seems to be saying that when you buy candy, it’s full of toxic ingredients such as arsenic and non-food products like plaster of Paris.
I think candy is of the devil, anyway.

Cool.
I was out on the Butterfield trail quite a bit in the 80’s and 90’s. This stretch was between Maricopa and Gila Bend.
There is a very large earthen tank that was used by the stage about 20mi from the Gila River back in the day.
I’m sure it’s probably closed off by now.
The area was wide open and probably isn’t anymore. Very beautiful but desolate.
Thanks for posting.
