health of the child depends on the health
of the mother, both before and after birth.
Heredity is strong and it is every womans
duty to give her children the best possible
chance in life. Nothing that she could pos
sibly give them can be as valuable as health.
Wealth cannot be enjoyed without health.
Nothing can be enjoyed without health.
Health is life. People who are not healthy
are only half alive. The child who starts
out with robust body and vigorous, vlrile
health, has everything to be thankful for
and nothing to be afraid of. You cannot
expect such a child to spring from weak
and sickly mother Most all of woman's
weakness and particularly the weakness
that most strongly influences the health of
children, comes from some arrangement or
disease of the distinctly feminine organs.
All such trouble is as unnecessary as it IS
terribly distressing. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription will cure all troubles of this
nature. There is no guess-work about this
statement, and there is no qualification.
The Favorite Prescription should be
used promptly and persistently until the
symptoms entirely disappear. In every
case, it restores perfect health and strength
and assists in the healthful ard regular per-
formances of all the natural functions. The
"Favorite Prescription F" should be taken
regularly by every woman during the entire
period of CESSATION. It gives strength to
all the organs involved, lessons. the pains
and danger of childbirth and insures the
health of both mother and child.

of their road away from here, and
shipped 1t to Shreveport. Mr..
Morley is appointed as its custodian
in the above city. We thought
this would be a hard blow to bear
at first, but now that they have
sent a gentleman here who bears
the name of Shook, and who brings
with him the title of General
Manager-commercial agent--local
and general ticket agent-general
and local baggage checker-aud
general utility-gentleman," what
should we care about the loss of
Mr.. Morley, Mr., Cavett, Mr.. two or
more clerks, and a negro, No sirl
We are satisfied that Mr.. Crane
(our Texas Attorney GeneraD knew
exactly what he was doing for Tex
as when he snapped off Morley and
his staff for Shook. We can say we
don't care a snook if he did trade.

OUR TOW LINE.

We hardly ever throw out our
STOW line" but what we make a
landing. Some time ago we started
on a crusade for a "curfew ordi
nance" We did not do this just to
be doing something other cities had
done, but because we wanted to
keep the the bad boys off the
streets, and to keep them from con-
Eliminating the ones willing to stay
indoors at night, but easily per-
suaded to leave parental protection
in order to keep the tough ones
from laughing at them.
Our tow.line caught on quickly
on the West side and our good
brothers over there passed the or
dinance.
On this side the ordinance was
drawn at or about the same time
the one one the West side was
passed, but for some cause not
known to us, it was pigeon-holed
and there It stayed until Tuesday
night, when Alderman Huckins
dived down in the compartment
and found It, read 1t over several
times and remembering he himself
was once a bad rod-headed boy and
and was tempted many and many
a time, to throw stones at windows
Of vacant houses, smashing glass
and otherwise damaging property,
besides cutting up other ugly didos,
he thought he would pat a stop to
other boys falling in his Trilby
tracks. With this in view and
knowing that the other aldermen
had been as bad boys, lull of mis-
chief as himself, he could get the
ordinance passed aud introduced It
aud IL went through like wid-lire,
We are glad our tow.lne has
gathered fruit and now that we
have 1t back, we propose to launch
Il out again soon for other needed
reforms, and for the good Of our
city.
