The sick man knocking at the door
of health gets in if he knocks the
right way, and, stays out if he
doesn't. There are thousands of
ways of getting sick but only one
way to get well. Do whatever you
will, if you do not put your diges-
ton IN good order, and make your
blood rich and pure, you will not
get well. Rich, pure blood is the
only thing that can bring perfect
health. Constipation is a disease
of the blood. A large pat of all
diseases are traceable directly to
impurities in the blood, and can be
cured by eliminating them with Dr.

The Senate has passed bill, that
if put through the House, will have
the effect to put an end to consoli-
dating postoffices where they are
situated in the same city, yet in
different states. This is aimed to
give border cities two postoffices,
as we once had here and will, if it
becomes a law. re- establish the Of
flee on the Texas side, and at the
same time do away with our free
mail delivery We suppose, how
ever, special acts could be passed
to cover special cases and where
there is a city that does not want
but one postoffice, a law could be
run through the law mill, covering
the case. We do not want but one
postofice here, and hope the bill
will be defeated in the house.
