the general attack upon Port Arthur
would be renewed upon the following

the japanese siege works at Rihlung-

How to Grow Ctnysanthemums.
ENNMaMlkNs tHknN zQxNMKNMNH ANE

Extract by James Morton
There are few plants that viii.
exist under as much neglect AS
the chrysanthemum, while there
are none more capable of being
highly developed under suitable
conditions than this popular
plant. Very few amateurs give
the chrysanthemum proper treat
ment. At all times during the
summer the ground around the
plants should be kept clean and
well worked, never allowing it to
become baked. Water always in
dry weather. chrysapthemums
should never be allowed te suffer
for want Of water. An excellent
plan, when the supply of water is
abundant, is to place them in
trenches that can be irrigated at
will. Through the intense heat
of July and August a little mulch
of grass or litter may be thrown
over the surface of the ground,
close to the stem, to prevent the
roots from drying out too rapidly.
A simple but good compost in
which to grow chryssnthemums ls
three parts rotted sod, and one
part rotted manure, adding a
tablespoonful of bone dust to a
ten-inch pot of the compost.
When cultivated IN the ground all
summer and potted in the fall,
the time of transferring them is a
critical period, and the potting is
most safely done about the mid
die of August or first Of Septem-
Der. This should be done with
the greatest care to avoid iniuring
the roots and branches. After
potting, give thorough soaking
at the roots and keep in the shade
sprinkling the foliage frequently,
until all tendency to wilt seems
past, when they may be gradually
Injured to the sun. After potting
the pots ought to be sunk in the
ground up to the rim, to keep
them from drying out 80 RAPIDLY.
Liquid manure may be given free
ly after the plants are potted and
have recovered from the effects of
the operation. 1t should be given
after the plants have filled the
pots with roots, weak, at first, and
in a short time the plant can en-
'dure stronger applications of this
stimulant, If the soil is rather
dry always give soaking of pure
water first. Rain or soft river
water is best if obtainable, but if
hard water must be used, it will
greatly improve by exposure to
the sun for some hours before
using.

A GREATER SAN ANGELO
Some of the Things Tor Which the
Mayor and CouncH Have plaE-
ned aud Are Working.

Some of the fruits of the yeer's
work of the municipal admins
tratjon are soon to be realized.
Among them are:
A GREATER FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The council having ordered Il
hose cart at cost Of $500, and
1000 foot of hose it is believed
when these new apparatus are in-
stalled that the city will have adj
vanced one more step towards it's
desired goal. The hose, If found
satisfactory when tested, will be
supplemented by a like number
of feet. The hose cart is to be
kept at one of the livery stables,
the proprietor of which will guar
antee to keep a deiver in attend
anee at all hours and will furnish
feed for the two horses and room
for the cart for $50 a month.
The terms of the contract with
the manufactures Of the cart are,
one-third cash, balance in one
and two years. The two carts
now in use will be supplied, one
to each North and South San An
gelo provided each of these por-
tions of the city will organize a
volunteer fire company.
Nine new fire plugs have been
installed IN different paSts of the
city. Already the citizens of |
these vicinities have been reaping
some of the benefits. A few of /
them have been renewing fire
insurance policies and have found |
their new rate to he 25c on the
hundred dollars less than the old .
rate. So that now, with o far
better system of fire protection
assured, property owners in all
parts of the city will witness a
reduction in insurance rates.

terests Of harmony TO allow these
penalties to go unimposed.
MATTER OF sHAPLEIGH BONDS.
The Mayor has had quite lot
of correspondence with Mr..
Skinker, attorney for the Shap-
leigh interests and has succeeded
in getting the holders of these
bonds TO agree to refund them at
AZ instead of 6%. There will be
fifteen or twenty years further
time on them if arrangements
can be perfected to that effect.
NEW SANTA FE DEPOT.
Mayor Powell is working earn
estly for new depot for San An
gelo. This matter is getting TO
be very interesting one and
from the tone of the letters from
the railway authorities it is be.
lieved there may be something
doing along this line pretty soon.
On the whole, San Angelo
could find no body of men who
would take mora interest in her
welfare than the ones to whom
her government is now entrusted.
In course of time many good
things will come. 'Twere folly to
expect them this week but as long
as we hammer at it along these
lines some good will surely come.
Three cheers for San Angelo
and her municipal authorities

LET US help YOU TO HEALTH, .
Dodson's Pharmacy Want Every Ca
tarrh Sufferer to Use Hyomei
and Be Cured.

Statistics show us that at least 81 out
of every 100 persons in this state suffer
from catarrh in sumo form.
While the disease is one of the most
common, it is also one of the most dan
gerous and offensive, leading to con
sumption and other diseases of the re
spiratory organs.
Prior to the discovery of Hgomei and
its Introduction IN this section by bod.
sons Pharmacy, every method of treat
ment had bee n found worthless.
The discovery of Hyomei and its
growing popularity has already reduced
the percentage of those suffering from
catarrh. This wonderful remedy IS the
simplest and most pleasant of treat
ments. Put 90 drops of Hyomei in the
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit, and breathe it for a few minutes
four times day. Reli will be seen
after the first treatment and complete
cure will soon follow, Breathe the
HYomei in this way, and the catarrhal
germs even in the most remote air cells
are destroyed. The irritated mucous
membrane is soothed and healed, and
perfect health restored.
D0dson's Pharmacy says to all catarrh
sufferers, "Let them help you to health,
they are cor fident Hyomei will cure, so
confident, in fact that they guarantee
to refund your money if it fails. A COM
plete outfit costs but 81, and if it does
not help you. your money will be re-
turned promptly"

"When the grapes are crushed and

touched Then d wine expert goes
through the butts, testing them by
smell. His nose is the only means
used to determine the value and fine
ness Of the wine.
''Now, it is a peculiar fact and one
that has never been explained that
from the same vintage, secured under
the same circumstances, many different
grades of wine will be secured. Some
Of it will be pale, some medium, some
dark Only about one-third of it will
be of the. best quality. 1t is the duty
Of the wine tester, by means of his
