Let's all get to work for the
quickest development of this sec
ton. Our town will not amount to
what il should as long as the con-
tiguous territory remains in an un-
developed state. Ifyou have lands
tor sale, cut them into tracts of
from ten TO as many acres a man
wants. If you have 5000 acres,
sell half OF il to actual settlers, and
the remaining half will be worth
more TO you. In this way the
country will soon be dotted with
thrifty farms, and an era OF pros
perity will soon be ours. DO it
now. Brownsville Herald.
If the people of The lower Rio
Grande want this section developed
TO the high degree that it is pos
sible for it TO attain they will take
the advice the Herald offers to
them. The day of the big cattle
ranch is passed. This is so because
highclass farming land is too, val
liable TO devote several acres to the
use of one scrub animal that is sold
well if it brings $50. That same
land, if well titled and properly
watered, will yield farm products
to the value of several hundred
dollars. Furthermore, the capacity |
of land as a producing area will
soon be the basis for tax calcula-
ton in Southwest Texas, and /
when that time comes pasture rails

story. Those cattle raisers who
are able to appreciate and see the

that a poor young man has no

country, he had lost sight of the
fact that once he was himself an
obscure journalist who didn't have

is a notable example of the OPP
portunities which this country
affords for a poor young man who
has ability and industry to rise in

ONE good way TO keep back your
town and pull down what others
attempt to build is to be continual
ly criticising and ridiculing what
ever your fellow citizens attempt to
do. Another is to turn up your
nose at local business institutions
and find nothing good enough for
YOU in the home stores, but send
away for what you eat and wear.
Still another is to abuse your local
paper, and point out its every mis-
take-"it never gets anything
right"-ignore its efforts in behalf
of the development of town and
country, and ridicule it, no matter
what it does or says. There are a
few individuals in Brownsville who

FAMILY TREE DE LUXE.

gies For the Wealthy.
The family tree de luxe is the latest
development in the ever increasing in
| terest which rich New Workers are tax
ing in their ancestors, says the New
York Tribune A few years ago socie-
! ty was content to talk about their
notable forebears, to assert that they
could trace their family back to such
and such year or to this duke or that
| lord. Mere assertion no longer suf-
fees Any one could assert that they
came from such and such a stock, but
not every one could prove it.
The demand now is for an absolute
and undOubted record without any miss
ing threads and written down in such
form that there can be no doubt about
it. An artistic woman of Baltimore
who is an officer in number of Mary
land historical societies and the au
thor OF a book on Maryland history
conceived the idea of working out the
family histories of the rich old fami-
lies of that state after the style of
the old Illuminated missals in the Brit
ish museum and the Vatican.
Her first effort is to work out the
family history from the old records of
the south and to follow them back to
their English or French origin This
is a work of several months for each
family. Sometimes one puZzltng an

before his place and position can be
fully established Again the thread
which she follows backward will snap,
perhaps because some county court
house was burned years ago and the
records destroyed, as has happened in
a number of Maryland counties. This
means more trouble.
Once the record is complete the task
of putting it into de luxe form begins.
The history is written by hand on
sheets of vellum, hand so perfect
that it reads like engraving. The para
graphs are punctuated by Illuminated
lettering. There are water color illus
trations also. showing the old houses
that figure in the family history. Such
book only the rich may hope to pos
sess. The afternoon caller glancing
through its pages cannot fail to be i'm
pressed.
One of the first Of these handmade
genealogies to come to New York is
the property of Mrs. Francis Lemoine
Loring. 1t is manuscript record of
the Holland family Of Maryland and
England. Of which Mrs. Loring is di-
rect descendant.

INsURING AGAINST TWINS.
Rare Forethousht of an Englishman
of Limited Means.

An English gentleman OF limited
means had married recently into d
very prolific family. says Leslie's
Weekly. There was prospect of an
addition to his household.
Twins, - reelected the gentleman,
''are much more expensive to support
than one child" And he sent his brOk-
err to one of Lloyd's underwriters. The
underwater set an actuary to look
over the vital statistics and make a
few calculations. Then, for the sum
of twenty-five guineas, he insured the
gentleman in Fl, 900 against the advent
of twins.
This somewhat threadbare tale
shows fairly both sides of the game OF
insurance. The evident side is chance.
The underwater invited a loss OF
1913. 10, for which he would haVenoth-
inc to show. The other side:
The point of the story is that the
lady presented the impecunious hus-
band with one fine son. The UNDER
writer, deducting, say E2, as the value
of his time and his actuary's, set
down a net profit of G24, for which he
had advanced nothing-but the risk,

A LEADING PHYSICIANS OPINION
How Col. Dillingham; Accompanies
Remarkable Results Which Are
Startling Dawson People.

Owing 10 the interest that has been
aroused in this county over the re-
markable cures Col. Dillingham; S
| Plant Juice Linamenthas been making
in cases of partial deafness, paralysis,
stiff limbs and different aches and
pains. an opinion was asked OF one OF
| the leading physicians of this section
as to lust what method Col. Dilling-
ham uses to produce such remarkable
results. The physician in question
said: II have been skeptical as to the
| ability of any medicine to do what is
| claimed Col. Dillingham; remedies
do. but after hearing the testimony of
the numbers of people who have used
it on two different occasions when 1t
restored to use an arm that was for
several years paralyzed, | am forced
to believe that the medicine actually
does as stated, is liniment Of un-
usual power, which is highly stimulat-
ing to the nerves, and VIXEN applied to
the paralyzed part stimulates it to a
certain extent into action, but the
main reason for the remarkable re-
suits it produces is, | believe, that it
is a wonderful massage agent and that
it works on the old principle Uhat the
bIucSb way Vs. IGSCCLC d lJol dI y HCNt POI
to its normal function is exercising by
means of massage.
This as a rule has to be continued
from day to day for weeks, sometimes
for months. and sometimes for years,
but this remedy evidently possesses
unusual power. which can accomplish
in one short treatment results that the
ordinary methods take long time to
produce.
This | believe to be the method by
which it obtains the results that are
startling Dawson people, as far as
partial paralysis, stiff limbs and diff
lerent aches and pains are concerned.
How it is able to alleviate partial
deafness of years standing in a few
minutes is beyond me to say.
THAT it does so seems to be beyond
question, but [ am absolutely unable
to say what is the nature Of the method
or compound that he uses in produc-
ing the results.
II shall at the first opportunity in
vestigate the linament and see for my
self what is being accomplished by
it"
The drug stores of Dawson report
gratifying sale of the remedies, and it
would appear that the cOmmendable
work done by Col. Dillingham; in de-
monstrating his remedies has made a
reputation for them in Dawson that
will cause them to be used and rec
commended by the people for years to
come. 1t looks as if Plant Juice rem !
edies have come to stay.

London Flats,

London has spent and is spending
millions Of pounds in building huge
blocks of fat dwellings. In few
years it may have to begin spending
millions to do away with them
In these words distinguished west
end physician who has taken AL impor-
tant part in calling attention to the
physical deterioration question eX-
pressed his view about the fat system,
which is said to be responsible for
some Of the increase in London lunacy
owing to the monotonous conditions it
entails.
London is spending millions in
clearing away slums, and huge blocks
Of fats five or six stories high are re-
garded as the panacea," he said to an
Express representative. But I think
it is time that the London county coun-
Gil, for instance, began to consider
whether the fat system Is not introduce
ing evils Of its own.
There is at any rate ground for sus-
pecting that the building Of these huge
blocks Of dwellings Is a mistake. Flat
life means less exercise, less air and
less light and consequently must make
for a less healthy condition Of body
and mind. The question as regards
children is Of grave Importance. -
