The Baton ROUGE GaA Advocat

The Baton Rouge Na.) Advocate
says: "a new plan for a gigantic
governmental loan or issue of credit
is proposed by Hon. Barnett Bibbs,
late lieutenant governor of Texas.
Mr.. Gibbs suggests the establish
ment of circulating banks based on
real estate values, by which every
owner of land can come forward and
borrow a "wad" on the faith of his
acres. The experiment is new to
Texas, but Louisiana has already
passed through long and bitter
with landed banks. and
knows the fallacy and folly of such
institutions. Our landed banks
wrecked themselves and everybody
else"

Woe! Woe! UnutterabIe Woe!

Why endure it daily, nightly, we had we'll
nigh said hourly. They do who are tortured
by chronic rheumatism. The remedy, bo-
tanic, pure, safe and prompt, is at hand.
Were the evidence in behalf OF Hostetters
Stomach Bitters collated. it would be found
to TEEN with well authenticated proofs that
the medicine is both a preventive and a
remedy in this malady of varying agonies
and ever present danger. To forestall its
chronic stage is the dictate of prudence.
Renounce dangerous medication. Far more
effective, more certain, more permanent in
the benefcient consequences is the use of
the Bitters. Experience indorses, the recon-
mendations of physicians sanction its use.
Begin early, use with persistence, and expect
relief. Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters relieves
constipation, biliousness, kidney ailments,
dyspepsia and malarial trouble.

Let us Hear the News.

If you know anything of interest
don't hold it from your county paper,
send it in. If friends from a dis
lance are in the city, let US know it.
IF you contemplate making improve.
ments of any kind, establishing a
factory or building a hen house, let
US here about it. If a former resi-
ident writes you any news about
himself, it might interest his other
friends and acquaintance if made
known through these columns. If
you have suggestion to make, that
you think will be benefit to the
city, or county, you are welcome to
space to make it known, but don't
SEMI any item to which you would
be ashamed to sign your own name,
not that you will be expected to
do this, but if you are not ashamed
to do this it is pretty good evidence
that you are not trying to make a
cats paw of the paper, OF trying to
mix US up in any of your quarrels,
or family affairs that don't concern
outsiders. Don't feel offended when
your items are condensed or some
of them left out entirely, for was a
paper to publish everything that
reaches it, it would soon appear in
court as defendants in a libel suit,
so it must use its discretion as to
what Is available and what is not,
but we will thank you to send us the
news, it will help make the paper
more interesting, call attention to
your part of the city or county as
the case may be and thereby help it
in an indirect way.

Brenhann to the Front .

Brenham's competitor for the
Houston Post scholarship to the
Hamilton University, at Lexington,
KY, in Saturdays Post led the van.
Over a thousand votes was sent
down Friday from Brennan, and
with what she had already, run up
over eleven hundred votes to her
credit. If Miss Nettie Estes don't
get the scholarship, the girl that
beats her will. Her many friends
here, and that means everybody in
the city, are interesting themselves
in getting the coupons, and the fact
that over a thousand have been
gathered in the past three days, is
Sa attesto Of the interest that is be-
ing taken in the matter.
The BANNER hopes to see her get
the scholarship.

Houston Post contest for the schol-
arship in the Hamilton Seminery,
Lexington, Ky. She started off
Thursday with A votes on the first
day of her entrance, and if she is
not winner in the contest it will
not be because of any lack of popu-

some other section gets more Posts
than that in which she is known.
The young lady is Miss Nettie
Estes, and her many friends here
will vote over and often for her.

Tempcring Tools.

The following is said to be the Swiss
method of hardening cast steel for cut
ting tools. Mix in n. suitable vessel
four parts of pulvcrizcd resin and two
parts of train oil. Stir we'll in this ono
part hot tallow. Into this mixture tho
article to be hardened is plunged ut
low red heat and held there until thor
oughly cooled. Without cleaning off,
the piece is again put into the fire and
suitably tempered in the ordinary way.
An examination Of steel thus hardened
indicates that the hardening is deeper
and more uniformly distributed than is
commonly tho case, and that the steel
Is less brittle. Articles thus hardened
have excellent nnddurablc cutting quail

Gas AInao from Wood.

The local gas company in the town
OF Attlcboro, Mass, has recently put in
IN apparatus for the manufacture of
gas from wood and crude Lima OIL It
is claimed that wood gas is not only the
most healthful, but the brightest gas
made. 1t is said that one cord of dry
wood and 800 gallons of Lima oil will
yield $4,000 to $4,000 cubic feet of gas of
20 to 30 candle power, with residue of
nearly two barrels of fine tar and 05
bushels of merchantablc charcoal. The
gas is made in rctorts in from two to
three hours. The retorts differ but
little from those used in the mnnufac-
ture of ordinary coal gas. The wood
used is maple.
