From the Era, Bradford. Pa.
Several months ago, Miss Cora wstrous
the xtcen-year-old daughter Of MrI C.
various, a locomotive fireman, of6l Clarion
street, Bradford, Penna. was seized with a
nervous disorder which threatened to end
her life. The first symptom of the ailmept
was loss Of appetite. For some little time
Miss Watrous had no desire TO eat and com
planned of a feeling OF extreme lassitude
This was followed by severe pains IN the
head. For three weeks the young lady was
nearly crazed with q terrible headaches and
lief
Finally. after trying numerous remedies
a physician was called and began treating
the patient. lie said the trouble was
caused by Impoverished blood but after
several weeks of his treatment the Young
lady's condition had not improved and the
parents decided to procure the services OF
another physician. In the meantime Miss
"atrous nervousness had increased. the
pains In her head had grown more severe
and the sufferers parents had almost given
up hope of her recovery
1t was at this time that Mr. Watrous heard
OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.

dozen boxes had been used. the Young
ladys appetite had returned the pain In
her head had ceased and she was stronger
than at any time previous to her illness.
Miss Watrous concluded that her cure was
complete and left home for a visit to rela-
tlves in the grape country near Dunkirk
n. Y. She stopped taking the medicine and
by oyer-exertion brought the ailment back
,gatn. As soon as the returning symptoms
were felt, Miss watrous secured another box
OF pills and the illness was soon driven

Fattening Calves without Milk.

Cheap as milk has lately been, it is
yet regarded as too valuable to be fed
to calves after their first few DAYS of
lie as an exclusive article of diet. We
think 1T is economy to feed some milk
to calves. But it is best for them.

raised to maturity, to early accustom
them to n variety of food. A thin Dor
ridge made of wheat middlings, with a
teaspoonful of linseed oil added as it

to color 1t white, makes a ration on
which the calves will thrive nearly. or
quite, as well as on new milk. and bet
ter than on milk that has had its
cream removed. This should always
be given Mt the warmth of new milk
III given cold ut any time it will cause
scours. Whenever any diarrhcea oc-

flour in water and feed that for one
ration. The diarrhea will stop. and
by the time for the next feeding the
calf will be all right for its feed. II
pays to feed thrifty calf in this way
until 1t is three, four or even six
months old. There are times when
well-fattened calves are in demand.
The butchers always rely on the far

feeding 1t milk. But fed in this way

with profit until it is a year old or
even older than that.-Boston Guilt

Out of It's Element

Mr.. Beerbohm Tree relates an anus

voyage from New York. He was lying
in his cabin; the luggage and fittings
were flying around, the vessel was
rolling terribly. Suddenly there was
an extra special lurch. Mr.. Tree was

weight, and lay half stunned. On fully

Sowing Late C,bba,e s..o

1t is not too late yet to SOW cabbage
seed for late planting. Caution is
needed not to SOW the seed too thickly.
That makes its growth so spindling
that the successful first transplanting
is very difficult. After the second
transplanting the plants will be ready
to set in the open ground. The cab
haSe sown now will make much of its
growth after the first frosts, and on
fairly rich ground will not need much

burned and that it cost the county
between three and four hundred
thousand dollars to replace the rec
ords. I question this statement
because happen to know that the
court house there has not burned,
if ever, for many, many years.
Besides, if they had such an expert
ence, then is it not very strange
that recently when they tore down
the old court house and built n new
one (the finest in Texas) that they
did not put into it an independent
steel vault. 1t has no steel vault,
but just such one as I advocated
building in our new court house
and which would have cost not ex-
ceeding $3.50.
Mr.. Meyer does not seem to like

grieves because he is not and can
not be numbered with that class Of

and those who run to him with
their complaints concerning the
acts of the present county judge,
can get all the consolation possible
out of what they term his ''sins of
omission and commissions" but
they can rest assured that just so
long as he represents the people of
Lavaca county, (even if he is a
young lawyer and green), he will
not talk one way and vote another,
nor will he in his acts be governed
by the wishes of some one else, as
has been proven to be the case with
Mr.. Meyer, but he will ever act for
what he believes to be the best in
terests of the people, whose servant
he is, regardless of fear or favor,
and he is persuaded to believe that
they at the proper time will endorse
his course. Respectfully.

The Court House and
Vault Question.

10 reply W my answer W MS dIIlCle
in the GAZETTE states that | favored
building a 100000 court house, SO
permit me to state that he must
have drawn on his very fertile i'm
sagination for that information else
have obtained it from some of my
Friends (?) for he knows his state
ment is not true and that | am on
record as being opposed to eXpend-
ing exceeding $4,000, for it was /
who with Commissioner Checker
obtained the necessary information
and made the calculations and sug-
gested to the court that bonds to
uhis amount and no more be issued.
He winces as I intimated he
would do and undertakes to take
refuge behind Mr.. Heiner and
,others instead of going by the rec
.ord of the court, evidencing the
fact that he does not keep track Of
what is done by the court. / want
it distinctly understood that while
/ am responsible for my own asser,
1ions and acts, and will not dodge
any issue as Mr. Meyer has, 1 am
not to be held accountable for the
statements of Mr.. Heiner or any
other man.
Mr.. Meyer now says he is the
man who killed the bear, and claims
credit for everything done by the
court when the truth of the bust
ness is that from his statements
made at different times, no one
could ever tell what he favored,
because one day he said this, the
next day that. He is a nice man
to suggest that can make state
ments in the face of the truth when
he so far forgets himself as to state
that | talked to the court about an
hour, when he and every one pres
,ent knows that the court was not
in session an hour and that I did
not talk two minutes. Prove your
statement about this hours talk,
Mr.. Meyer.
Next he states that in my reply
/ slurred and slandered him, when
every man who can read intel
ligently knows to the contrary;
and his cry of wolf! wolff is on a
par with his other cries.
He takes particular pains to not
explain those two peculiar visits
40 him at his home, but as usual
winces and lodges the issue. 1t is
quite evident that those visits were
not made for the benefit of Lavaca
county, nor for the health of the
man who made them.
Mr.. Meyer says l am green, and
/ will admit that l was too green to
be pulled into signing a contract
Tor vault for $4,000 which we find
can be built for $3.50. Those who
read my last article will remember
I said it could and would be built
for about $4,000. viii not Mr..
Meyer now admit that | did right
in refusing to be party to a con-
tract for $4,000.
Mr. Meyer proceeds to state that
the agents for the vault companies
stated that every patent of the Die
bold Safe & Lock Co. had run out
ten years ago, and / say that they
eaid no such thing and will prove
by Mr.. Meyer that | am correct
for he says that we made it still
easier for them by inserting that
what the Diebold Safe g Lock Co.
made different from other companies
could be replaced with something
equally as good Now, if the
specifications, which I said were
adopted without being read (and
