II Must Come.

AS inevitable as the changing seasons of
the year is the change which comes to
every woman. And just as one anticipates
the changes of other seasons it is wise to
anticipate this change of season and pre-
pare for it. In this way the discomforts
and disasters suffered by mar women at
the period of change can be avoided or
overcome.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, a med
icine for every season of woman's life, will
entirely meet the needs of women at this
period of change. 1t cures the physical
depression usually associated with this
critical period. 1t tranquilizes the nerves,
encourages the appetite and induces re-
freshing sleep.

MUST Be A CLEANING UP
DR.. Tabor Sends Letter to the
Health Officers.

Following Is a copy of circular
letter nailed this week by State
Health Officer Tabor to every coun-
ty and city health officer in Texas:
On account of yellow fever exist
ing in several places in Mexico, in
cities near Texas, and wishing to
preYent it's introduction into this
state, / request that you take up at
once with the proper authorities the
matter of sanitation in your cOmmu-
mites. l especially urge that means
be adopted for the destruction of
mosquitoes, as these insects are
now known to be distributors OF yell
low fever. The expense required
for the total determination of mos
quitoes would be very small, and
the means very simple.
The free use of kerosene oil in
tanks, cisterns and pools of stag
nant water, or in sewers will effect
the destruction Of these insects.
The oil should be used twice a week
An ounce of refined oil put into a
cistern will destroy all wiggletails
and mosquitoes, and will not affect
the water. Crude oil could be used
in other places
In addition to these methods for
the destruction of mosquitoes, other
measures should be adopted for the
purpose OF putting ysur cities and
towns ~ thorough sanitary condi-
ton by a general cleaning up and
burning Of all trash and refuse mat
ter aud free use of disinfectants
such as lime, carbolic acid, bichlor-
ide Of mercury aud ashes. This
should be done for the prevention of
other diseases as well as yellow
fever.
AS yellow fever is near Us, having
made its appearance on the border,
/ respectfully request that this be
given your prompt attention and
that you take the matter up with
the proper authorities, and secure
also the cooperation OF all your
citizens.
Prompt and vigorous action may
prevent a disastrous epidemic.
Please impress upon your officials
the necessity Of clothing you
with proper authority ana giving
you financial assistance to put these
measures into immediate effect.
The delay of day may prove dis
astrous.
Earnestly soliciting the prompt
cooperation OF every health Official
ia the state, / remain,

State Health Oficer

FIRST SCOOP FOR RECORD
Fort Worth's New Morning Paper
to Receive Associated
Press News.

New York, n. Y, Sept. T.-For
the first time since the suspension
of the Fort Worth Gazette in 1897,
Fort Worth is to have a full Asso-
ciated Press and Leased Wire ser
vice. The directors of the Asso-
ciated Press today elected to men,
bership Clarence Ousley. editor OF
the Record, which 10 to succeed the
Register. The service will start
with the first issue of the Record
about October LIST, and will be iden-
teal with the service going to the
Dallas News, the Houston Post and
San Antonio Express.
Fort Worth's fight for the fran
chise has been interesting and some
times dramatic since Mr.. Ousley be-
gan the campaign last May, and the
happy elimination today has
brought him the congratulations of
all the newspaper people here, few
of whom believed he could win
without paying large sum. The
situation was complicated with a
plausible appearance Of vested rights
in the franchise by other parties,
and much credit is due to President
Noyes, and Secretary Stone for the
patience and skill they have en-
ployed in handling the matter.
With the full Associated Press
service and a joint service in COM
binatiou with the Houston Post, the
people OF North Texas may be as
sured that the Record will meet the
highest expectations.

Every day is a busy day H. Waxa

appeared to be better than usual.
All day long the public square and
streets were thronged with cotton
wagons and the buyers were kept on
the move the greater part Of the
day. The receipts today were the
heaviest OF the season and the
price paid ranged from 10 TO TO- /,
cents per pound. The business
houses were crowded with custom
ers and trade in most all lines was
