Out Door San Angelo.

"There is no place like home"
but the most ardent home lovers
among us become surfeited with
home at times and long for bit
Of out door recreation and stren-
uous rest. Each of us have our
methods Of getting the much
wanted out door change of air
and follow them according to our
individual whims. One family
spends day picknicking i'll the
shade of the Concho pecans.
Another fishes for a season, taking
the sunshine along with the
shadow as an eXhilirhnt. Some
Of us make long stays i'll the
shady hooks aud valleys, others
can get away for only II day.
But the greater portion of
tired humanity stays in town
day in and day out, summer and
winter, week day and Sunday,
their only out door recreation
being obtained in walks about the
city and in the evening hours
spent in the shade Of their cool
verandahs when the evening
zephyrs blow.
1t is this major portion of San
Angelo people that will receive
the benefits of public park. 1t

Ranch Diversification.

For years tho papers of Central,
East and North Texas preached
crop diversiiication before any
good came of it.. Farmers are
perhaps harder to convince than
any class of people on earth. But
diversliicatiou came and no COM
munlty would be willing TO eX-
change the new era for the old
order of "one crop or no crop"
Prosperity has overtaken these
people and the beauty Of their
prosperity is its substance and
permanency. Whole sections are
growing as never before.
There's a ranch Investigation
that can be practiced with an
equally good effect. Some ranch
men have found it out and it is
making good to them already.
Ranch diversiiiCation means cat
tie and sheep Oh the same past
ures, hogs in the same river bot
tom, alfalfa, Johnson grass, milo
maize and other feed stuiis on
the tillable soil; chickens,
guineas, turkeys, geese and ducks
around the feeding pens and
barns, i'll fact almost anything is
possible for the ranchman. The
"cow" ranch is passing away.
The low price of cattle il count
ing in the passing and the
ravages of the beef trust is the
deciding factor. There will al
ways be cattle in West Texas and
lots Of them. The COW will al
ways he the principal factor in
our prosperity. But the dlversi-
ficationist will prosper rs his
brother the Cow" man will fail.
There are splendid illustrations
to be found ,-practicaI proofs of
the Observation-Disclosures theory.
Geo. Richardson ranch near
Arden is one, I,eedale IS another,
Metcalfe's ranch-farm is Il
third, there IRE several of them
The sooner tho man who il rails
ing cattle comes to a realization
Of these facts the more he has adj
@ vanced in prosperity and sub
stantial wealth.

I'm A BAD Way

This Information.

When your back gives out;
Becomes lame, weak or aching;
When urinary troubles set in,
Your kidneys are Gin bad

DoNn's Kidney Pills will cure
you.
Here is local evidence to
prove it.
j. A. Thornton, the well known
real estate dealer of Fort Worth,

Adams ST., says: "SCmetime in
the spring of 1902, | believe it
was in the month of April, II
gentleman called on me and
asked me to state my opinions of
Doan's Kidney Pills. At that
time ] told him they had proved
of incalcuable benefit to me.
Sometime previous to his visit /
had purchased a box and had
continued using the pills until
cured of very aggravating at
tack of backache and kidney
complaint. 1t is fully a year
since | made this statement and
told the people of Fort Worth
therein that Doan's Kidney Pills
could be depended on to act ex-
actly as claimed. Now all that !
can add to my original statement
is that threatened sometime ago
with recurrence, Il few doses Of
the pills warded off the attack be-
fore it got any further than an
incipient stage, and | have al
ways found this to be the case.
II ! have been asked by one per-
son during the past year, ! have
been asked by a hundred to state
my opinion of Doan's Kidney
Pills in private. ! always have
the same story to tell, and reply
that it is the best kidney remedy
in the world today. Only last
week three different persons
drove up to my Office and asked
me about them. | will always

Too Great q Risk.

In almost every nelghborhood

The risk is too great for anyone
