Mr.. Isaac Brock, uo Years Old Last Birthday

II SAAC BROCK, citizen of McLen
l. nan county, Texas has lived for
116 years. For many years he re-
sided at Bosque Falls, eighteen miles
west of Waco, but now lives with his
son-in-law at Valley Mills, Texas.
A short time ago, by request, Uncle
Isaac came to Waco and sat for his
picture. In his hand he held a stick
cut from the grave of Gen. Andrew
Jackson, which has been carried by
him ever since. Mr.. Brock is a digni-
fled old gentleman, showing few signs
of decreptitude. His family Bible is
still preserved, and it shows that the
date of his birth was written 116 years
ago.
Surely a few words from this re-
markable old gentleman, who has had
116 years experience to draw from,
would be interesting as well as profit
able. a lengthy biographical sketch is
given of this remarkable old man in
the Waco Times Herald, December 4,
1898. A still more pretentious bioS-
raphy of this, the Oldest living man,

CONTEMPT CASE POSTPONED
Attorney Asserts Grand Jury Acted
Extra JudiciaIly

The contempt proceedings pending
against Fl. G. Otis and Harry Chandler,
as publishers of the Times, in connec.
ton with the articles in reference to
the work of the grand jury, were again
continued yesterday, owing to the in
disposition of Attorney Hunsaker, who
is suffering from sore throat.
Attorney Hunsaker said he desired
to present a motion to dismiss the pro-
ceedings, which would raise questions
of law to be argued.
What are the points," asked Judge
Wilbur.
"The points are that the affidavits of
the grand jurors do not state that the
allegations are not true, and further,
that the duty of the grand jury is to
find indictments-but that it fixed
time for the city treasurer to get the
money into his hands or be indicted"
replied Hunsaker.
,"And that was acting extra judicially
and outside their jurisdiction, and the
paper had right to comment upon it,"
continued the attorney.
Judge Wilbur agreed with the attor-
ney that the grand jury acted extra
judIcially and the argument was set
for Monday afternoon.

When old age comes, it brings with
1T catarrhal diseases. Systemic catarrh.
is almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has be-
come so Indispensable to old people
Peruna is their safeguard. 1t is the
only remedy yet devised that entirely
meets these cases.
Pe-ru.na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is
that it contains no narcotics of any
kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless. 1t.
can be used any length of time with-s
out acquiring a drug habit. Peruna
does not produce temporary results.
1t is permanent in its effect. Z
1t has no bad effect upon the sys-
tenn, and gradually eliminates catarrh
by removing the cause of catarrh
There are a multitude of homes where
Peruna has been used off and on for
twenty years. Such a thing could not
be possible if Peruna contained any
drugs of q narcotic nature.

THE OLDEST MAN IN AMERICA
Escaped the Terrors Of
Many Winters by
Using Pe-ru-nd

In speaking of his good health and
extreme old age, Mr.. Brock says
AFTER a man has lived i'm the world
as long as | have, he ought to have
found out a great many things by ex-
perience. / think I have done so.
lone Of the things have found out
to my entire satisfaction is the proper
thing for ailments that are due d.
reety to the effects of the climate.
For 116 years ! have withstood the
changeable climate of the United
States.
"I have always been a very healthy
man, but. of course, subject to the af-
fections which are due to sudden
changes in the climate and temper
ature. During my long life | have
known q great many remedies for
coughs, colds and diarrhoea.
"As for Or. Hartmar's remedy, Pc
runa, ! have found it to be the best,
If not the only, reliable remedy for
these affections. 1t has been my
standby for many years, and at
tribute my good health ard extreme
old age to this remedy.
1T exactly meets all my require
ments. 1t protects me from the evil
in good appetite: it gives me strength;
it keeps my blood in good circulation
| have come to rely upon it almost en-
tirely for the many little. things for
which l need medicine.
when epidemics of la grippe first
began to make their appearance in this
country | was a sufferer from this dis
ease.

grip. At first did not know that
Peruna was remedy for this disease.
When ! heard that la grippe was cpl
demic catarrh | tried Peruna for la
grippe and found it to be just the
thing"
In letter dated January 81, 1903,
Mr.. Brock writes:

bothers me Is my sight. If / could see

CHILD'S ERRORS
MOTHERS FAULT
POINTS ON HOW TO AVOID
SELF CONSCIOUSNESS
Speakers at Study Circle Meeting AS
eert That Children Should Be
Seen and Heard, Notwtha
standing Old Maxim

Self Consciousness of mothers makes
children self conscious.
Children are sensitive and people are
always tramping on their feet
A childs shortcomings are mother's S
shortcomings.
The belief that children should he
seen and not heard should be thing
Of the past.
Don't say don't" to child in the
presence of visitors.
These five and many other points
were brought forward in discussion
on the subject of self consciousness in
children, led by Miss Mary Foy, at the
meeting Of the Washington School
Child Study circle yesterday afternoon,
Miss Foy delivered the principal ad-
dress, in which she pointed out the
necessity of doing away with self con-
seriousness in children, and the obliga-
tion which mothers are under to the
children.
Miss Foy opened her talk by giving
several well known illustrations of
pictures, in which the principal art lay
in the fact that the central figure was
entirely unconscious of herself or the
world around her.
"No work can be great" said the
speaker, "if the slightest particle of
self consciousness enters into it. The
woman who is 4 truly great one is the
woman who can forget that the eyes of
the world are upon her, and every
fore she expects her children to have
that poise which commands the ad-
miration and wonder of all
Train Child Early
"a mother should begin early to
train her child so that he will be ready
to meet all circumstances. If q child
is brought into a room where there are
strangers, he Immediately begins to feel
that he must keep up to a standard,
ana not knowing quite what thai
standard is, becomes conscious that he
may not be doing just what is correct.
The mother becomes conscious of the
worse.
"If a child does something which you
do not approve of, let it PASS for the
time. Never say don't to a child in
the presence of visitors. 1t is unfair to
your visitor and unfair to your child.
There is altogether too much talking
and not enough training. Children are
and we are all the time
tramping on their feelings"
Mrs. f. II. Galley spoke at some
length on the subject of the necessity
Of the mother putting herself right be-
fore she attempts to correct her child.
Mothers must no longer think that
the doctrine which served as a rule for
other days that children should be
seen and not heard will do for the
present time, said Mrs. d. S. Freeman.
If a child is to be unconscious of
self it must be taught from the time
Of pabyhood. The little one should be
brought into the room when there are
visitors and should be encouraged to
talk. In this way they become used
to observing the ways of their elders
and feel perfectly at home in their
society
Several other speakers took part in
the discussion.
