Ticky Cattle Brinq Low Prices.
After an eight months’ fight, the
foot-and mouth disease has been
practically stamped out and the
danger of another great destruc
tive animal plague averted. For
this the country has reason to be
thankful, for American live stock
already suffers from disease to an
extent of which few persons are
fully aware. Hog cholera, tuber
culosis and the cattle tick cause
annual loss to the country which
reaches so high into the millions of
dollars that it is almost impossible
even for trained statisticians,
to estimate it. The direct loss in
deaths can be computed with reas
onable accuracy, but the indire-t
losses which agriculture in all its
branches suffers whenever and
wherever there is a scarcity of
stock cannot be reckoned at all.
Hog cholera and tuberculosis
prevails throughout the country;
cattle ticks are confined to one
section—the South. Hog cholera
and tuberculosis present problems
which science has not yet thor
oughly solved; cattle ticks already
have been eliminated in an area of
more than 253.288 square miles
and can be eliminated in the rest of
the infested territory when ever
the people really determine to rid
themselves of the pest.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one v.'ay to cure deafness,
und that la by constitutional r medies.
Deafness Is caused by an inllamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube is Inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect
he-ring, and when It Is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the In
flammation can be talon out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will bo destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.

u«
When I’ve consumed a goodly
dinner, I’ve charity for every sin
ner upon this mundane stage; I’m
full of love for all creation, for folks
of every tribe and station, of every
sex and age. This life seems finer,
nobler, sweet, to every earnest,
zealous eater, just following a
meal; the music of the birds seems
grander, when he is full of roasted
gander, or porterhouse or teal.
The skies seem lovelier and bluer,
the girls seem niftier and truer, all
things are fair to see; there is no
sign of grief or sorrow, and any
man can come and borrow two bits
or more from me. If there’s on
earth a sour surmudgeon, who
views his fellowmen with dudgeon,
be sure he cannot eat; he does not
know the joy of gnawing a slice of
sweitzerkase or chawing the
pickled porker’s feet. The sour
man is, without question, knocked
out by active indigestion, his works
won't come across; the pulses of
his heart would quicken if he could
eat a goose or chicken or roasted
albatross. I dread no ill, I fear no
foeman, when I have in my large
abdomen eight pounds of sirloin
steak; and all the pessimistic bleat
ing must come from fellows to
whom eating imparts a stomach
ache.—Walt Mason.
Don’t Dodge.
Do not dodge. Whatever the
difficulties to be met, they are not
made easier by trying to dodge
them. In trying to dodge a missile
from one direction you may come
in line with one from a different
direction. When we dodge trouble
we are more than likely to get into
other trouble no less easy to en
dure. Look with courage on what
must be met. Fared with courage,
difficulties are half conquered.
Better to meet and conquer diffi
culties than to dodge them. Do
not dodge duties that devolve on
you. Duties performed add
strength and dignity to character.
It matters little what they are;
though they be of the simplest and
humblest, well and truly done, they
acquire dignity. Stand up bravely
and squarely to meet the difficul
ties of life. With courage you will
conquer. You will come through
life with fewer scars than by trying
to dodge duty or difficulty. Trying
to evade begets in a man a cringing
spirit. He gets a habit of truck
ling, and upright, self-respecting
manhood is gone. Don’t dodge if
you would hold yourself above
meanness.—Milwaukee Journal.

Rev. S. K. Burnett, Pastor.
Elbert Bede Says
A mixture of sympathy, tender
ness and love is the only salve that
will heal a broken heart.
It is never too late to do a kind
ness.
Open up your heart enough to
let the sunshine in. *
The grouch never wants for
something to growl about.
Patience is usually a virtue, but
there are times when it requires
too much humility for us.
A wise man often makes such a
fool of himself we would doubt his
wisdom but for the fact that he
recognizes that he is an idiot for
the time being.
Vlfe believe that some hyp
ocrites succeed in fooling them
selves.
The greatest fault of the Ameri
can people is said to be over eating.
Empty honors should make a ro
bust nation.
A pretty, musical voice will hide
multitudes of sin.
There’s a difference between be
ing in love and being married, but
there are no differences when the
proper amount of both are blended.
It's really funny how the funny
men think of so many funny things.
There is no necessity, physically
or morally, for covering a pate all
ready well covered with hair. Both
men and women are in this respect
abject slaves of fashion.
There is quite a difference be
tween a pessimist and an optimist,
especially when the two are to
gether.
Of course we don’t know, but we
suppose some wives must look
back to their sweetheart days and
form their own conclusions upon
the evolution of man.
Women are fast acquiring men's
rights, but here’s hoping they won’t
assume their ways.
Every woman knows her hus
band is the best one on earth—and
must often feel deep sorrow for
what other wives must have to put
up with.
Mexico acts like a little boy who
tantalizes a grown man, feeling se
cure in the thought that the latter
would be ashamed to jump on a
baby. ________

Household Helps.
Glean your brass beds with a
woolen cloth wet with kerosene.
Rub dry and polish with dry woolen
cloth.
More juice may be obtained from
lemons by boiling them. Put over
fire in cold water and bring slowly
to a boil. Continue boiling slowly
until they begin to soften; remove
them from water and when cool
enough to handle, squeeze until all
the juice is extracted, strain and
set in a cool place until needed.
Steel knives should not be used
on fish; they impart an unpleasant
flavor.
Be systematic—even the odds
and ends of housekeeping should
be attended to regularly. Set a
day to attend to clothing closets:
examine storerooms and pantry
and see what is needed; look over
fruit and vegetables that need at
tention and see that they are used
before too late.
Mildew can be removed by rub
bing the spots with green tomato
and salt and exposing the spots to
the sun.
Tincture of camphor, ten to
twelve drops to a tumbler of water,
makes a good daily wash for the
teeth.

WOMAN’S SUFFRAGE F">OM THE
VIEWPOINT OF LEADING
FARMERS.
Why should women vote? That Is
t^ie question that is ringing from
ocean to ocean and reverberating from
the Canadian boundary to the Mexi
can border. It is the mission of a
newpaper to give the news and the
action of the Texas Farmers’ Union
In opposing woman's suffrage when
that question was recently before the
Texas legislature is significant as
representing the attitude of the or
ganized plowmen. We reproduce In
part the argument presented by lion.
W. D. Lewis, president of the Texas
Farmers' Union, in opposing the bill:
"It is gratifying to note that it is
not the farmer's wife who is clamoring
for the ballot. She is too busy
trying to make happier homes, mold
ing th% minds of future citizens and
sharing with her husband the cares
of life to indulge in political gossip.
The ballot will give her no relief from
drudgery, give no assistance in cloth
ing the children or bring to the home
additional comforts, conveniences or
opportunities in life. It is. as a rule,
the city woman promoted to idleness
by prosperity, who is leading the suf
fragette movement.
r rom many standpoints, perhaps
a woman has as much right to vote i
as a man. So has she as much right
to plow as a man; she has as much
right to work In a factory as a man;
she has as much right to shoulder a
musket as a man, but we would rather
she would not do so Nfrom choice
and we regret thut necessity ofttimes
compels her to earn aSTliving by en
gaging in gainful occupations. We do
not consider misfortune a qualifies
tion for suffrage or a business acci
dent a reason for granting franchise.
We are opposed to woman at the
ballot, box the same as we are op
posed to woman in the field. In the
>pUgl -*m**m. ihs. »rmy %»<* tor the
self-same reasons. We bad rather
see her plant flowers than sow wheat;
gather bouquets than pick cotton and
rear children than raise political Is
sues. although she may have as much
right to do one as the other.
Opposed to Unsexlng Humanity.
"Sex qualification for suffrage may
have its apparent Inconsistencies. No
general rule adjusts Itself perfectly
to all conditions. It Is a favorite ar
gument advanced by the proponents of
woman's suffrage that many cultivated
and noble women are far more capa
ble of Intelligently exercising soh
erelgnty than a worthless negro, blit
the South never was anxious for
negro suffrage, and while culture and
refinement, and even morality, are
deslpable virtues, they are not the
only qualifications for franchise.
"The primary, inherent and Insep
arable fitness for suffrage is support
ing a family. The plow handle, the
fwge and the struggle for bread af
ford experience necessary to properly
mark the ballot. Government is a
great big business and civilization
from the very beginning assigned
woman the home and man the busi
ness affairs of life.
"There has been much freakish leg
islation euacted during the past de
cade that no doubt appeals to woman's
love for the ridiculous, but to under
take to unsex the human race by law
Is the height of legislative folly and
a tragedy to mankind.
"We are opposed to the equal rights
of woman—we want her to ever re-'
main our superior. We consider
woman’s desire to seek man’s level
the yellow peril of Twentieth Century ’
civilization.
“Woman Is the medium through
which angels whisper their messages
to mankind; It Is her hand that plants
thoughts In the intellectual vineyard;
It is through her heart that hope, love
and sympathy overflow and bless man
kind. Christ—the liberator of woman
kind—was satisfied to teach the lessons
of life and lie was a man. He chose
to rule over human hearts and re
fused worldly power and men followed
after Him, women washed Ills feet,
little children climbed upon His knees
and the Ruler of the universe said
that In Him He was well pleased.
Can woman find a higher calling?”
Height of Sea Fogs.
The height of fogs, on both land and
sea. varies with the conditions. Some
times they are not much higher than
the masts of vessels, and again they
may extend to a height of hundreds
of foet.
Richest Phosphate Mine.
The world's richest phosphate mine
is on the island of Curacao.

You’ll find a good refrigerator very
profitable. The secret of buying a
refrigerator is to get one so well built
that heat can’t get in and cold can’t
get out. Such a refrigerator saves
ice and keeps the temperature low
enough to save your food. The
LEONARD One Piece Porcelain and
THE RANNEY are good Refriger
ators. They have many unusual
points which cannot be found in any
other make. Our enormous output
enables us to buy two solid cars for
this season, thereby securing the low
est jobbing prices. This saving we
hand on to our trade, and it is an ad
vantage. which no other dealer in this
section is able to offer.
