The Royal Month and the Royal
Disease.

Sudden changes of weather are es-
pecially trying, and probably to none
more SO than to the scrofulous and con
sumptive. The progress of scrofula dur
ing a normal October is commonly great.
We never think of scrofula-its punches,
cutaneOus eruphons, and wasting of the
bodily ubstance-withou thinking of
the great good many sufferers from it
have derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla,
whose radical and permanent cures of
this one disease are enough to make it
the most famous medicine in the world
There is probable not city or town
where Hood s Sarsaparilla has not prov
ed its merit in more homes than one, in
arresting and completely Graduating
scrofula, which is almost serious and
as much to be feared as its near relative,
consumption.

what it enables the owner to do for

HE RAILROAD OUTLOOK.
An Inviting Field Lies Between
San Antonio and Brownsville.

n North Texas man who has fall
en- in love with San Antonio and
its vicinity and intends to move
there expresses some very sound
opinions regarding the great agri-
cultural possibilities of Southwest
Texas, in an interview in the Ex-
press. Among other things, he
discusses the railroad outlook, as
follows:
Railroads, those great civiliz-
ers and developers, are looking to-
wards this territory as we'll as peo-
pie, aud | expect to see other trunk
lines built to San Antonio and
beyond. The Frisco is coming
just as sure as fate, and You can
rest assured that the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas is not going to
rest always where its present term
mus Is. The country from here to
Brownsville is an inviting field and
it will be occupied. Railroads
made North Texas the populous
section that it is, and they are
more progressive, more public
Splrited-mOre IN touch with the
people today than they have ever
been. They show a disposition to
aid in building up section because
to do so adds to their business.
Railroad men of today are like
their tracks, broad guage, and they
can do world Of good when they
try.

ties at Brownsville, Texas, urging
that the instructions of the S,ecre-
tary of War revoking an order to
send four companies of troops to
Fort Brown be recalled, and reply
ing thereto permit me to say that

from the Philippine Islands, was
first ordered to Texas, the Depart
ment Commander, under the i'm
preston that the regiment was
coming home with something. near
it's full strength, had proposed to
send portion of the regiment to
Forts Brown and Ringgold. 1t was
subsequently learned that after
leaving in the Philippine Islands
all the men of the regiment who
had one year or more to serve and
such as desired to remain in the
Islands, the regiment had been re
dueed in strength to less than $50
men, or an average of 80 men to a
company, and that these men after
arduOuS service In the Philippine
Islands and long sea voyage re-
quired time and opportunity to re-
cuperate. For this reason they
were assigned to Fort Clark and
San Antouio, where there were al
ready considerable garrisonS.
Aside from this, troops cannot be
sent TO Forts Brown and RinggGld
without the expenditure of consid
cradle sums to put those posts in
suitable condition, while at Fort
Clark and San Antonio the posts
are in such condition as not to re-
quire any immediate expenditure
on account of barracks and quar-
tiers.

Washington, Dec. 3.--The secretary
Of agriculture opens his report with
