Something Good.

So many go to their druggist and
merely ask for something good" for
a cough or cold. Now if the druggist
has several remedies he certainly will
sell the one that does not cost much.
When you go to a drug store better
know what you want. Ask for Gooch s
Mexican Syrup if you want the incest
and quickest cough cure Is cents will
buy. Take no other.

lands can be raised at great saving. At
the present time every head Of stock landed
here has cost the government nearly 81 900

few. and such cases where cavalry regi-
ments are. practically speaking. crippled
through the lack Of mounts would not exist
The government can raise its own stock
by having its own ranch. at a cost rang
ing from $50 to 500 gold a head. A horse
raised here would be smaller than the aver
age American horse and be adapted for
cavalry service in this country.
1t is acknowledged by many cavalry ex-
perts that the American horses are in
the majority of cases. too large for scout

Soup Questionable in Paris.

tHe Louuon leleSrapn
Cooks are railing at tickle fashion in
Paris. which has practically abolished one
of the most important branches of their
art. The "potage" has been ousted from
it's place on the menu. The art of soup
making is consequently in allegiance. The
cooks hand can no longer lovingly COM
pose mysterious veloutes and quintessential
creams of vegetable. nor can his magma
ton find vent in imparting to them strange
exquisite hues, from flesh pink to opal
green, and in devising curious edible orna-
ments to be set floating on their surface
No self-respecting Partisan hostess will
now permit her cook to serve aught up for
the first course of dinner except cold con-
somme, a sadly simple dish and distressing
ly inartistic. The humble broth is set be-
fore the guests in bowls, either of silver
and of ancient make or of modern art
pewter. The most remarkable thing about
the new fashion is the way in which it
originated. Partisan ladies found that hot
soup destroyed the interesting pallor of
their cheeks and gave them, in fact, red
faces. This being obviously intolerable,
and any kind of cold ''potage" except con-
sGmme being out of the question, the de-
cree which distresses conscientious cooks
who love the subtleties Of their art went
forth.
