Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. Vol 8 Doug and his crew, so we are informed, have sent out orders to the effect that the Editor of this paper must be eliminated even if bushels of the coin of the realm must be used in the process. Harmony. It is possible to have harmony in the Republican party if the leaders want harmony but it cannot be obtained by the four meetings held on the Fourth one at a bank on Second street and the others at different places in which it was agreed that the boys in the trenches must be eliminated from politics in the present campaign and only the silk sock fellows allowed to play the game. We admit the silk stockings can do the eliminating act but can they get harmony with their present tactics? The Democrats can always have the help of these gentlemen in a crisis. Of course there are things that many of us can never forget but we can forgive everything except the DOUGLASS PLATFORM. Harmony can be bad on these terms and we hope our local Republicans will see it. Woman's Home Companion. Editor's Sheet For July, 1907. A NEW LOVE STORY BY ANTHONY HOPE, The WOMAN'S HOME COMPAN ion for July contains opening installment of a new serial by Anthony Hope. entitled "Helena's Path." It is a most interesting and a thoroughly wholesome story, embodying all the delightful romance of the Zenda stories, though some what more realistic. Its publication implies a rich literary treat of the numerous admirers of the author who gave us the "Dolly Dialogues." The lily white gang has put out a SPECIAL published in South McAlester in which they threaten to put out a state ticket at Tulsa if the Republican party does not do its bidding. We say let them do it as they are the tail to the Democratic kite and always will be found following and trailing on behind. Tulsa, I. T., June 27.—No one in this bustling city today was more interested in the call for the republican state convention here July 12th than Dr. S. DeZell, Hawley, who has made such a splendid canvass for the gubernatorial nomination. Dr. Hawley talked freely with a reporter on the situation and declared himself as being most pleased with the news that a campaign was about to begin. Asked if he believed a ticket should be nominated, the doctor said: "My position is just this, I am a candidate for governor and I fully believe that if a ticket were to be nominated I should easily win. I am still a candidate and have no doubt whatever of my nomination if a ticket is named. But I am also a good loyal republican and believe in accepting the will of the majority of my party and it seems to me best in the light of circumstances as they have shaped themselves, that we give our whole effort to defeating the infamous constitution and in doing so we want to avoid all complications that would arise by having state and county tickets in the field. No one has worked harder for statehood than I have. No one wants it to come quickly more than I do. But we do not want it under the unfair and outrageous provisions of the Murray constitution. I believe we should defeat that constitution and I am for harmonious action and will be found with the majority of my party at any personal sacrifice, working for justice and fair play. I am more content to take this position because I am assured that if the constitution is defeated a new enabling act will be given us at once, and an early opportunity to frame and adopt a new constitution under which we will have statehood to be proud of." THE DAVY CROCKETT OF INDIAN TERRITORY. Oklahoma City, June 27.—John M. Taylor, Jr., a leading Cherokee republican of Claremore, I. T., and a candidate for congress in the 3rd congressional district was in the city today in consultation with republican headquarters and before leaving for home was asked what he thought would be the position taken by the republican party at the Tulsa state convention. Mr. Taylor said: "I am a republican and a candidate for congress, but before all other considerations or ambitions I am for republican harmony and success. I did think some time ago that the party should nominate a full ticket, adopt the constitution with a pledge to amend certain particulars as soon as our party came into power. I realized that my people wanted statehood and this might be the best means of obtaining it. "I have recently carefully read that portion of the proposed constitution, not hid under the bush some where in the Chickasaw nation by "Cockleburr Bill" and I am firmly convinced that the adoption of the paper by our people would be not only unfair to the living Cherokee people but to their children. "The Cherokee people are a progressive, fair-minded, square-dealing people. They believe in even handed justice, equal chance and equal right for all men. This proposed constitution is not fair deal paper. It is not such a paper as President Roosevelt, the best type of a square dealing man would write. The infamous gerrymander disfranchises a goodly number of good citizens and gives some counties vastly more power than it gives to other equally good citizens. It provides that no soldier in our army shall be permitted to vote at our election, even if he should live in the Cherokee Nation and he have a wife and family living upon his allotment. This is not patriotic it is not fair. It is not what a true set of men would do and it is unrepublican. I could not vote for such a constitution and I know my people will not do it either. "It is easy to talk about amending it, but it is so framed that this would be a difficult thing to do. I am therefore of the opinion the party ought to declare against the constitution, put out no ticket and forever make it impossible in our good land any such unfair political practices. "I have recently seen a letter from Hon. James Sherman, chairman of the republican congressional committee urging the defeat of this crooked piece of business and pledging a new enabling act at the coming session of congress after we knock this thing out. "The democrats know the advantage the adoption of this unfair constitution will give them and will try and fool the Indian into voting for it. But they have fooled us before in the election of delegates to the constitutional convention and the Indian cannot be made to bite again on any such hook, no matter how cleverly baited. Lincoln's homely statement, 'you can fool part of the people part of the time, but by the eternal you cannot fool all of the people all of the time,' is one of the political maxims that the Indian never forgets and it is as well for our democratic brethren to bear this in mind." Mr. Taylor is that type of the loyal republican who believes in the rule of the majority, who spends his money for republican success and who is willing to forego his own political aspirations in order to advance the best interests of the republican party and the other peo] of the great state of Oklahoma. No 40 Notice of Mortgagee's Sale. Whereas, on the 15th day of February, 1905, J. J. Rooney and Margaret C. Rooney, his wife, of Muskogee, Indian Territory, did make, execute and deliver to the Commercial National Bank of Muskogee, Indian Territory, their certain mortgage deed to secure the payment of a promisory note in the sum of Two Thousand ($2,000.00) Dollars, dated February 15th, 1905, and due six months after date, with interest at the rate of eight per centum per annum after maturity until paid, which said mortgage is recorded in the office of the clerk of the United States court for the Western District of the Indian Territory and ex-officio recorder at Muskogee, Indian Territory, in record book No. 33, page 340, and.

INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. You Look Prematurely Old Because of those ugly, grizzly, gray haires. Use "LA CREOLE" HAIR RESTORER.

The equipment of the great armies of the world with an improved rifle is hardly completed when the mechanics begin work on a new weapon. At the recent examinations of the German War Academy the automatic rifle was one of the themes for discussion. The piece now on trial has a magazine holding ten cartridges; the recoil is utilized to load and cock. Consequently the soldier can remain quietly in position, never removing his eye from the target, and fire his ten shots. New York Sun. For Hardening Drill. Hardening an ordinary drill in sulphuric acid, states the English Mechanic, makes an edge that will cut tempered steel or facilitate cutting hard rock. The acid should be poured into a flat-bottomed vessel to a depth of about one-eighth of an inch. The point of the drill is heated to a dull cherry red, and dipped in the acid to that depth. This makes the point extremely hard, while the remainder remains soft. If the point breaks, reharden, but with a little less acid in the vessel. The Same Kind.

Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. A. F.

Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and benefit to my patients." Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria in my own household with good results, and have advised several patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm." Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: "Your Castoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advocate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children." Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprietary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and children. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments." Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: "Castoria is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merits." Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very effective in relieving children's disorders, while the ease with which such a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage."

BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA, By No Means a Pleasure, According to Oné Traveler. “No sooner has one plunged inte the. water than one is whipped off one’s feet and goes bobbing helplessly about like a wretched cork,” says Rev. Haskett Smith of bathing in the Dead sea. “In the effort to regain one’s footing and to get back to shore, one’s feet and shins are barked by the jagged stones and pebbles, and when at length one does emerge from its treacherous bosom, with the lower limbs bleeding and torn, one becomes aware of a horrible tingling and burn- ing sensation in eyes, ears, nostrils. mouth and almost every pore of the skin, from the brine and bitumen which have penetrated everywhere. “Unless great care is taken the bather in the Dead sea is liable to an eruption, which breaks out all over his body, and which is commonly known as the ‘Dead sea rash.’ The best antidote to this is to hurry across as quickly as possible to the river Jor- dan and take a second plunge therein. The soft and muddy waters of that sacred but dirty stream will effectual. ly remove the salt that has incrusted the body.” A maid thinks she is necessary to @ man’s happiness, a widow thinks a man is necessary to her happiness, and a man—well, no matter what he thinks, mie COFFEE COMPLEXION, Many Ladies Have Poor Complexions from Coffee. “Coffee caused dark colored blotches on my face and body. I had been drinking it for a long while and these blotches gradually appeared, untii finally they became permanent and were about as dark as coffee itself. “I formerly had as fine a complex- fon as one could ask for. “When I became convinced that cof. fee was the cause of my trouble, I changed and took to using Postum Food Coffee, and as I made it well, ac- cording to directions, I liked it very much, and have since that time used it in place of coffee, “I am thankful to say I am not ner vous any more, as I was when I was drinking coffee, and my complexion is. now as fair and good as it was yeara ago. It is very plain that coffee caused the trouble.” Most bad complexions are caused by some disturbance of the stomach and coffee is the greatest disturber of digestion known. Almost any woman can have a fair complexion if she will leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in proper quantity. Postum furnishes certain elements from the natural grains from the field that Nature uses to rebuild the nervous system and when that is in good condition, one can depend upon a good complexion as well as a good healthy body. “There’s a Reason.” Read, “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs, a BD AND es (Brean e FARM “sient OW TFT 7 Aba, een ee, A, MAKING BOARD DRAINS. They Are Economical and Will Last a Long Time. Drainage is a live subject with the farmers in many sections, and many would be glad to do a great deal more of it if they were in a financial condi- tion to do so. While tile drains are considered the best, board drains will give very good service for a number of years and will enable the farmer to raise better crops and thus provide himself with the means for buying tile | i i oy << * “a Standard Frame for Making Board Drains. later on. Board drains, especially where the ground is so wet that they are kept constantly saturated with water, will last for years. Farmers living in the districts where timber is cheap, will find that such drains will answer the purpose very well without much expense. Such drains have been known to‘last 20 or 25 years, at which time they seemed to be in just as good a state of preservation as on the day they were put in, To make wooden drains it usually requires two men, one to hold the eee eS eet eae Le Reker. ta 2 ee ea aor ee eg ae I. wr ae Standard Attached to Fence. boards in place and the other to nail Men together. This method of mak- ea board drains, suggests the Farm- r, can be improved upon by the use df a “standard.” This consists of an upright board, three feet high, having ‘notches cut, into it six inches apart. one inch wide and several inches deep {to hold the boards firmly. The boards are laid into the notches when the ‘top board can be quickly and evenly mailed on, , Another method consists of twe posts driven into the ground about three feet from the fence with notched boards nailed across from each post to the fence. With such a rig as this troughs can be quickly and easily made by one man alone. | The Farm Signboard.

SHEEP ADVICE, Things to Be Remembered to Obtain the Best Results, | A Missouri sheep raiser, according to Farmer's Review, gives the follow- ing excellent advice: All experienced farmers recognize the importance of proper care in han- ding sheep. No farm animal will re- spohd quicker to good care and atten- ion, The amount of water needed will depend largely upon the ration fed. With roots or other succulent food little is required. It should be kept before them, however, at all times and the troughs kept clean. Sheep are naturally very nervous and easily startled. The sudden ap- pearance of the attendant without giv- ing notice of his approach to the flock at some distance away will often cause a stampede which will cause a loss of several pounds of flesh on the whole flock, Dogs are a nuisance around sheep. Lambs will not become so ac- customed to a dog as to be unmindful of his presence. In culling out sheep it fs not uncom- mon to see them caught and held by the wool which pulls the skin away from the flesh when held. It is even more common to see them captured by one hind leg resulting in a jerking movement. When necessary to go into a flock of sheep the easiest possible way to catch and hold them is to graspthe flank by either hand. In this way they seldom ever struggle to get away. The proper time to market lambs has to be determined by the condition of flesh and not the size. One year after another it does not pay to hold for higher prices when they are once ready to go up. If the feeder has the capacity of foretelling a better mar- ket he would better sel! out those that are already fat and replace with good growers.

Asa Republican, I, of course, object to a gerrymander that would disfranchise 40,000 of my party. We do not ask for any advantage, but we do demand a fair and equal chance, Suppose your legislature is democratic, session after session, assuring term after term of democratic Senators, Suppose in the course of a few years the United States Senate becomes pretty evenly divided and the House democratic, the two democratic senators from Oklahoma might be able to give us a free trade tariff law as one democratic Senator did in 1846 and again in 1894, Why, our last free trade Jaw cost us more than did the Civil war. Let us have no more such disadvantageous, no such unfair, un-American con- dition. Let every man’s vote count as much as his neighbor’s or the citizen’s at the most dis- tant point of the state.” “But vicious as this feature of the constitution is it is not the worst, I naturally believe in the power and protection of the courts. I believe that the supreme court of a state should be supreme, its rulings subject to no review save by the Unitec states Supreme Courts. Wher you make a partisan gerry. mandered legislature suprem¢ over executive and courts, you destroy protection and mak government a farce,”’ “The hostility shown foreigt capital is another objectionabl feature, Oklahoma, I believe is destined to be one of the great states of the Union, but under the proposed constitution I do not see how a dollar of out- side capital should come into your state or a single investor or home seeker.’’ “The methods and scope of taxation seem to me also open to criticism, There must be taxes for government, for schvols, for public buildings and improvements, for roads and various necessities, but taxation should be equal and just and taxation should never be confis- cation.” “I have no time to go into other phases ot this remarkable document, but {I am confident the people will defeat it and the way to do that 1s for the Repub- licans to bend every energy to that one result. Don’t compli- cate and confuse the situation by naming state and county tickets. Be consitent and cour- ageons. Go to the people and explain to them the unjust feat- ures of the constitution, and when they understand it they will deposit a ballot against it.” “Do I think the President would accept it if adopted?’ the Congressman was asked in con- clusion. ‘‘No I don’t,’’ was the quick response, ‘‘but don’t send itto him.’’ Beat it yourselves and beat’ it hard, And then added the great Republican leader of the House of Represen- tatives, I pledge you that we | will give you another enabling act at the next session of Con- jgress and an opportunity to frame another constitution that | will bo fair and just and in har- }mony with American principles and American ideales.’’ WHAT BECAME OF THAT MONEY?

"It was at a children's treat in the country," said the Settlement worker with pink cheeks and unbounded enthusiasm, "and lemonade and edibles were being supplied to a collection of small children who looked, for the most part, like babies and were as sophisticated as I don't know what to say. As I walked around to see that everyone was getting enough to eat and drink I came to one infant whose mug of lemonade had not been touched apparently. I observed that there was a little twig from one of the trees floating on the top, but they are not fastidious as a rule and it did not occur to me that he objected to the proof that he was playing under real trees. "Why don't you drink the lemonade, little brother?" said I. "Isn't it sweet and nice? Don't you like it?" He wriggled a bit and rubbed his ear on his shoulder in a delightful state of embarrassment, and then with a knowing twinkle he said: "I guess, teacher, I'm too little to drink lemonade wid a stick in it."—N.

The hands cracked open in many places and bled. One of my fingers was so bad that the nail came off. I had tried so many remedies, and they all had failed to cure me. I had seen three doctors, but got no relief. Finally I got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. Of course I keep Cuticura Soap all the time for my hands, but the one cake of Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment cured them. I recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all suffering with eczema.

Word comes from abroad that Mrs. Vanderbilt is to take a large estate near London, and that the Breakers will not be open this season in Newport. This will be the second summer that this magnificent estate has been closed, and it means a social as well as financial loss to the place. To the gossips of the smart set it means that something attractive is keeping Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughter on the other side of the Atlantic—something that draws like a lodestone. No longer is Robert Goelet's name heard in connection with the hand of Miss Vanderbilt, and we are at our wit's end to know just who the lucky Johnny is.—New York American. "Makes It Go Away." We simply can't do without it. We are not going to try. When Bobby stubs his toe, it's "Ma, where's the Lightning Oil?" When Lizzie burns her hand or arm, it's "Where's the Lightning Oil?"

TWINE, Editor. Telephones and Competition. Every community which has a telephone service is likely to be confronted by the question of granting a franchise to a rival company. Each case must be decided by the governing circumstances, but every case will show the peculiarity of the telephone problem. The telephone is a natural monopoly, for it is to the advantage of every subscriber that all users of telephones should be on the same system with him. More than one system means that a subscriber must have more than one instrument, or be out of communication with part of the world of telephone-users. It is difficult, however, to adjust human nature to ideal mechanical conditions. Established companies, without rivals, lack the motive of competition to keep rates down and service good. Therefore some communities have welcomed new companies which promised better and cheaper service. Dual systems, like labor strikes, are on their face economic losses, yet it may be worth while to endure the temporary discomfort and loss in order to secure better conditions ultimately. The butcher may be on one system and the baker on another, yet low rates may bring two instruments within the previous cost of one, and may so increase the number of subscribers within call as to atone for the inconvenience. If finally one company absorbs the other, the community may have become so well established in low rates that the surviving company dare not raise them. On the other hand says the Youth's Companion, the effect of competing companies is sometimes merely to divide the telephone-users of a community without adding many to the total number, and if the companies then make an agreement to keep rates up, the community is worse off than before. In the strategical game which a community plays with public service companies, it is difficult to determine in the case of the telephone service how far the actual or threatened establishment of a rival company stimulates mechanical improvement and checks the natural tendency of a monopoly to extortion. No community can settle the question without careful study. Mr. Bryce Incog. The last time Mr. Bryce visited this country was two years ago last summer, when he landed in Boston. He is a very modest gentleman, and he prefers to travel incog. when he can conveniently do so. So it happened that on his last voyage hither neither his name nor that of Mrs. Bryce, who came with him, appeared on the passenger list, and his fellow voyagers did not suspect his identity until after several days out. Meanwhile Mr. Bryce had the pleasure of asking his table companions all about this country and its institutions. And they glibly answered his naive questions, never suspecting that they were talking with the author of "The American Commonwealth." Fancy their chagrin later on, remarks the Boston Herald, when they discovered by accident that they had been undertaking to enlighten an inquisitive foreigner who knew far more about their institutions than they did! Ali Merzi; the new shah of Persia, is described as a man who possesses an iron will. Also he has more stepmothers than any other ruler now extant. ONE MAN'S EXPERIENCE IN WESTERN CANADA. ONE MAN'S EXPERIENCE IN WESTERN CANADA. There Are Thousands of Opportunities in the Land of Opportunity. To the Editor. Dear Sir: The following experience of an Illinois man who went to Western Canada six years ago is but one of the thousands of letters that could be reproduced showing how prosperity follows the settler on the fertile lands of Western Canada. This letter was written to the Chicago agent of the Government of the Dominion of Canada and is dated at Evarts, Alberta, April 8th, 1907: "It is six years the 5th of this month since I and family landed in Red Deer, family sick and only $75 in my pocket. Bought a $12 lot, built a 12x14 shack and went to work as a carpenter. Next May sold for $400 (had added 16x18 building to shack). Purchased two lots at $70 each and built a 23x28 two story building and sold for $950. Filed on a quarter section 33 miles N. W. of Red Deer and have spent three years on it and am well pleased. Quarter all fenced and cross fenced, wire and rail, $21/2 miles of fence. House 29x31 feet on stone foundation. Last year was my first attempt to raise grain, $11/2 acres of fall wheat, yield grand, but was frosted August 2nd, was cut August 16th and made good pig feed. Had $11/2 acres fall rye that I think could not be beat. A farmer from Dakota cut it for me; he said he never saw such heavy grain anywhere. Straw was 7 feet high. I had 4 acres of 2 rowed barley on fall breaking that did not do so well, yet it ripened and gave me all the feed I need for stock and seed for this spring. I did not have grain threshed, so can't give yield, but the wheat would have gone at least 25 bu. to the acre. Have a log stable 31x35 feet, broad roof and two smaller buildings for pigs and chickens. "I have lived in Harvey, Ills., and know something about it. I have been hungry there and though able and willing to work could get none to do. One Saturday evening found me without any supper or a cent to get it with. A friend, surmising my situation, gave me a dollar, which was thankfully accepted and later paid back. Wife and I are thankful we came here. We were living near Mt. Vernon, Ills., as perhaps you remember visiting me there and getting me headed for the Canadian Northwest, and a happy day it has proved for me. I have not grown rich, but I am prospering. I would not take $3,000 for my quarter now. The past winter has been a hard one, but I worked outside the coldest day (52 below) all day and did not suffer. We are getting a school started now that is badly needed. "Our P. O., Evarts, is about 15 miles; there is another office 6 miles, but it is not convenient to us. Wife and I would not exchange our home here for anything Illinois has to offer. "Yours truly, "(Sd.) E. EMBERLEY." Is the Sailors' Friend. Sixty thousand sailors look to H. A. Hanbury for advice and for protection. Mr. Hanbury is the United States shipping commissioner for the port of New York. He is the sailors' judge and jury. The men who sign on foreign craft now must appear before him for their papers instead of going to the consuls of the various countries.

OLD SORES FED AND KEPT OPEN BY IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD Whenever a sore refuses to heal it is because the blood is not pure and healthy, as it should be, but is infected with poisonous germs or some old blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed middle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms, legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn ulcer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated. Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore. The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason for suspicion; the same germ-producing cancerous ulcers is back of every old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one. Washes, salves, nor indeed anything else, applied directly to the sore, can I was afflicted with a sore on my face of four years' standing. It was a small pimple at first but it gradually grew larger and worse in every way until I became alarmed about it and consulted several physicians. They all treated me but the sore continued to grow worse. I saw S. S. S. advertised and commenced its use and after taking it a while I was completely cured. My blood is now pure and healthy from the effect of S. S. S., and there has not been any sign of the sore since S. S. S. cured it. West Union, Chic. S.S.S. Then the sore begins to heal, new flesh is formed, all pain and inflammation leaves, the place scabs ever, and when S. S. S. has purified the blood the sore is permanently cured. S. S.

My wife suffered for seven years with Liver Complaint, Indigestion and Constipation. I have paid up to date one thousand dollars to doctors for services but she never received any benefit. I always bought my medicine from Jordan Bros., of Alexandria, La. I spoke to Mr. Jordan one day about my wife's complaint, and he recommended Mozley's Lemon Elixir for her. I took a bottle home with me and since that time, about three months ago, I have kept it in the house and from the first day my wife took it, her bowels have acted regular, her health has improved and she can do her house work without the pains she formerly suffered. I was in Alexandria yesterday, May 21, and told Dr. F. N. Brian, one of the best physicians in Alexandria, what my wife had been taking, and he gave it the highest praise.

Simmons, San Antonio, Texas: Dear Sir—Yours at hand. I would like to have called at the office when I came back, but it was Sunday and I took the train for home. I was on your 95,000-acre ranch three days. I found it much better than I expected. I am satisfied in my own mind that with proper wind breaks, as we have in this country, oranges, lemons, apricots, figs, olives and almonds can be successfully grown there. I am sure that south of San Antonio is the natural home of the English walnut. The soil on your land is much better for fruit raising than it is in this country, because you have a good red clay subsoil, while in Southern California we have gravel and rock that does not hold moisture. We have to irrigate here at least ten times a year and continually work the orchards, but I don't think this would be necessary on your land in South Texas, at least not so much of it, because the red clay will hold moisture and will give the fruit a better flavor. Orange orchards in this country are worth from $500 to $1,000, and walnuts from $200 to $500 per acre. I think south of San Antonio to the Gulf is a better country than from Los Angeles, Cal., to San Diego, Cal., because the soil is better, there is more water, and the climate is just as good so far as I could see and hear by talking to old settlers, and the land is so cheap that every workingman should have a home. I am sure that in the near future South Texas will be a prosperous fruit growing country and will be as valuable as Southern California, and the man who will lose money in South Texas is the man that does not get in on this cheap land of yours before it is all gone. A man that has lived in Southern California as long as I have can see the future of South Texas. Never before has there been such an opportunity to secure a home in a delightful location for so little money and on such easy terms.

If every particle of the diseased flesh were taken away another sore would come, because the trouble is in the blood, and the BLOOD CANNOT BE CUT AWAY. The cure must come by a thorough cleansing of the blood. In S. S. S. will be found a remedy for sores and ulcers of every kind. It is an unequalled blood purifier—one that goes directly into the circulation and promptly cleanses it of all poisons and taints. It gets down to the very bottom of the trouble and forces out every trace of impurity and makes a complete and lasting cure. S. S. S. changes the quality of the blood so that instead of feeding the diseased parts with impurities, it nourishes the irritated, inflamed flesh with healthy blood.
