PECAN SMELLING.
Many Hundreds of People Occupied in
Extracting the Kernels of Nuts.

Some idea of the magnitude of the
pecan nut meat industry may be had
when it is stated that in San Antonio,
Tex, alone there are 100 members OF
the Pecan Shelters union. labor or
ganization composed of men engaged as
a regular business in the Smelling OF
pecan nuts and extracting the delicious
kernels.
Not all of the pecan shelters in San
Antonio belong to the union. There are
several hundred other men, women and
children in that city who gain a hvei-
hood from the work. There are branches
of the Pecan Shelters union in Austin
and several other towns of the state.
The pecan nut Smelling season lasts
from October ] to July !. The new crop
of nuts begin to come into market about
October |, aud from then until January
! the business of extracting the kernels
is very active. The kernels are shipped
in large bulk to New York, 81. Louis
and other cities, where they are used by
coniectioners in the manufacture of can
dies
Pecan Smelling is n comparatively new
industry. 1t had its origin, SO far as its
becoming a recognized business is con
cerned, "A few years ago when candy
manufacturer of New York visited
Texas.
lie ate some Of the candy made and
sold by Mexican street vendors IN San
Antonio. Pecan kernels form an inn
portant ingredient of this candy. AS an
experiment he arranged for n small ship
ment of the pecan meats to be made TO
him.
The kernels were received in due time.
and the highest art of the candymaker
was employed in their use. The pecan
candy became popular almost instantly
and other orders for the pecan kernels
were placed.
That was the beginning of nm industry
which now gives employment to several
thousand people. There is big demand
for the pecan kernels in every large city
in the country.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
SUFFER
From Constipation, Bowel and Stom-
ach Trouble.

Q. What is the beginning of sick
nessI
A. Constipation.
q. What is Constipation?
A. Failure of the bowels to carry oil
the waste matter which lies in the ali
mentary canal where it decays and poi
sons the entire system. Eventually
the results are death under the name of
some other disease. Note the deaths
from typhoid fever and appendicitis,
stomach and bowel trouble at the pres
ent time.
q. What causes Constipation?
A. Neglect to respond to the call OF
nature promptly. Lack of exercise. tx
cessive brain work. Mental emotion
and improper diet
.. What are the results Of neglected
Constipation:
A. Constipation causes more suffer
Ing than any other disease. 1t causes
rheumatism, colds, fevers. stomach, bow
ell kidney. lung and heart troubles, etc.
1t is the one disease that starts all 9TH
ers. Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhoca,
loss of sleep and strength are its symp-
toms-piles, appendicitis and istula, are
caused by Constipation. Its conse-
Quences are known to all physicians,
but few sufferers realize their condition
until it is too late. Women become
connrmed lnVallds as result OF Sonst-
patton.
Q. Do physicians recognize this?
A. Yes. The first question your doc
tor asks you is Are you constipated!'
That Is the secret.
O. Can it be cured?
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics,
such as pills, salts, mineral water, cas-
tor oil, injections, etc, every one of
which is injurious. They weaken and
Increase the malady. You know this
by your own expeoence.
Q. What, then, should be done to cure
It?
A. Get a bottle of Mulrs Grape
Tonic at once. Mull's Grape Tonic will
positively cure Constipation and Stom-
ach Trouble in the shortest space Of
time. No other remedy has before been
known to cure Constipation positively
and permanently.
Q. What is Mul's Grape Tonic?
A. 1t is a Compound with 40 per
cent of the juice of Concord Grapes. 1t
exerts peculiar strengthening healing
influence upon the intestines, so that
they can do their work unaded. The
process is gradual, but sure. 1t is not
a physic, but it cures Constipation,
Dysentery, Stomach and Bowel Trouble.
Having q rich, fruity grape flavor, it is
pleasant to take. As a tonic it is un-
equalled, nsuring the system against
disease. 1t strengthens and builds up
waste tissue.
q. Where can Mull's Grape Tonic be
had?
A. Your druggist sells ii. The dollar
bottle contains nearly three times the 80
cent size.
Good for ailing children and nursing
mothers.
A free bottle to all who have never
used 1t because we know it will cure
you.

wood-process syndicate. Specimenel
were prepared and sent OUT to num-
Der Of tropical countries. After Il,
somewhat protracted trial news has
been received from the Madras presi-I
dency that the specimens sent there
have successfully resisted the attacks
of the white ants. The process I'M
proves, toughens and strengthens the
wood. This is accomplished by boiling
the timber in saccharine solution, and
afterward drying it at high tempera-
ture. A revolution in the export tim
her trade to tropical countries is prob
able, rs in places where termites
abound soft wood will be used instead
of the more expensive varieties.

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, il does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer SO severely. Menstrual
ton is n severe strain on a woman s
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to a serious de-
rangemeut of the whole female organ
ism.

Pinkham that Lydia Il. Pinkham $

Knew the Difference

In court room in North Carolina,
according to story related 10y Hcpro-
sentative Small Of that state, II man was
ON trial for larceny. His sanity was
doubted, and the district attorney
thought it best to prove il. He put the
following question TO one Of the leading
witnesses:
"Do you think the prisoner can dis
tinguish between right and wrong and
good aud badE'
81 think he can, sir" said the wit
ness, for ] saw him take drink of
whisky over Mt Bill SINNERS bar and
he said it was powerful good stuff.
Yes, sir, | think he knows the difference
between good and bad"
The Bar enjoyed a good laugh and
the proof was accepted. Charleston

much less. The ideal stall has space.
between feed rack and gutter of eight
feet and is five feet wide. \ feed rack
is arranged so that the animal may
get at the hay or rOughagc easily, yet

the rear there is stapled to the floor
u piece Of 2X4 material to keep the
bedding in place and the animal from
stepping back into the gutter. The
idea of the fencelike sides is to insure
ventilation, and if any two animals are
inclined to quarrel they can be Scpar
ated by having an empty stall be

dividing fence. The illustration shows
the idea perfectly.
