A HERALD man saw and tasted
the famous drink pulque for the
first tiYe this morning. The pull
que is extracted from the Maguey,
about 5000 plants of which are
growing at Point Isabel, where the
sample seen by the reporter was
extracted. 1t would be difficult
matter to describe the taste of pull
que, but most HERALD readers are
doubtless familiar with it. Pulque
is said to be a splendid kidney
medicine and bids fair to become
a lucrative business some day.
Mezcal is one of the products OF
the maguey plant also, and IS a
drink quite familiar along the Rio
Grande, and one concerning which
Uncle Sam has much trouble with
smugglers.

How the Evening of Life May Be Made
 Happier For All.
 "If people only knew the good that Vinol does old people" said Mir. D. q. Fowler, our well known druggist, "col- umns of space in our newspapers would be devoted to the subject for the ben eft of mankind in general. l can truly say that we have never sold anything in our store equal to Vinol as a strengthener and body-builder for old people.
 You see, with old age comes feeble- ness and loss of power the organs act more slowly and less effectually than fin youth. the appetite is poor the di- gestion weak, and there is not that same renewal of body tissue
 There is nothing more pitiful to ma than to see old people tottering around. I know that Vinol cannot bring back lost years, but it will lengthen life and brighten the years that remain.
 we are hearing from all over the country remarkable results which prove my statement. and we have received letters from sons and daughters of old people telling how father or mother has been made well and happy by the vigor and strength which Vinol brings the old.
 'Tt was only a few days ago a letter was brought to my attention from MT John G. Nichols of Lawrence, Mass. in which he said that he had not felt so we'll for fifteen years as he had since taking Vinol; 1t gave him a good ap- petite, and he feels strong and well and Is working every day from o'clock in the morning until o'clock at night"
 Tt is just this way" continued MT Fowler, ''Vinol invigorates the stom- ach first of all, creates an appetite and enables the stomach to separate from food the elements needed for rich, red blood, healthy body material and sound steady nerves. In this natural manner it repairs worn tissues. checks the natural decline and replaces weakness with strength.
 For any one suffering from any weakened. rundown condition Vinol will do the same; and it is because we know so we'll what Vinol will do that We guarantee It's action, and we will gladly refund the money paid for if to any one who is not satisfied I wish every old person in this vicin' tty would just try vinol on our guar antee. If 1t does not satisfy. then Il will not cost them a cent" E. C. Fowler, Druggist.

 Among this class the symptoms of female diseases are early manifest by weak and aching backs, pain in the lower limbs and lower part of the stomach. In consequence of frequent wetting of the feet, monthly periods become painful and irregular, and fre- quently there are faint and dizzy spells, with loss of appetite, until life is a burden. All of these symptoms point to derangement of the female organ ism which can be easily and promptly cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta' ble Compound.
 Miss Abby F. Barrows, Nelsonville, Athens Co.,, Ohio, tells what this great medicine did for her. She writes:

ONE OUGHT TOKNOW
HOW TO STRENGTHEN THE ,OR-
 CANS OF INDIGEsTION.
A Course of Treatment That Really Cures Indfgestiun Instead Of
 Merely Relieving symp- toms,

There are plenty of remedies by which you can relieve for the time heartburn, pain and gas in the stomach and can smother nervous sensations and induce artificial sleep. But when you take your next meal all your trou- bles begin afresh.
 You can humor your stomach by giving 1t predigested food still there isn't much fun in that kind of eating and when you want to get some pleas ure out of your meals again, you find that your stomach is weaker than ever.
 There Is only one sensible thing to do. Strengthen the stomach and when 1t is once in proper condition it will do its own work better than any pro- cess devised by man can ever do 1t. When it is again strong don't abuse 1t. Choose rational food and study the effect even of that, as yours may at best be a freakish stomach.
 For a weak stomach, lazy stom- ach, a broken-down stomach you need a tonic that will rouse the stomach to do the work that will keep 1t robust. |. The best remedy ever found for this purpose is the one used by Mrs. Nettlie Darvoux, of Detroit, Mich, whose re- coverey from dyspepsia of nine years standing attracted widespread atten- tion in September last.
 Mir. Strong read with interest her statement that she had been cured of chronic dyspepsia by a few weeks use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. He had suffered in the same way most of his life, and just then was having very severe attack. He began the same treatment at once and in a few months wrote that he too, had realized a com plete cure.
 For years" state Mir. Strong. "l suffered greatly from indigestion. tried many remedies and some of them would relieve me for a time, but the trouble always came back. About six months ago I had an unusually severe attack. and while I tried everything I had ever heard of, I found nothing that would reach the difficulty this time
 "One day read in a Memphis paper an account of the very remarkable cure of a Michigan woman. sufferer from dyspepsia of most stubborn type. Twelve doctors had at different times treated her without success, bu, at last she was entirely cured, and ir a short time, too, by use of Dr. Wfl. iians' Pink Pills. Her statement led me to try the same remedy and Il proved just as successful in my case. I took only three boxes. and am con vinced that I am permanently cured I have not had the slightest symptoms of indigestion for the last two months
 Multitudes of cases that had defie6 all other remedies have been quickly cured by Dr. Williams Pink Pills MT. E. B. Strong lives at Capleville Shelby County. Tennessee. The rene dy which he used with success can bt found at any drug store,

coroner Was Angry.

When the Board of Revenue met to- day County Auditor Robert A, Morris presented a report on the bill sup mitted by Coroner w. D. Paris for the investigation into the explosion In the Virginia mine February 20. 1905. The auditor expressed the belief and quoted law showing that the coroner was en- titled to only $5 for the investigation outside of travelling expenses. which will hardly run to S30. and that the claims of the jury in the case were ex- cessive.
 The coroner entered into a war Of words with the auditor and said If anything personal was intended he would retire to the hall" The audi tor announced that there was nothing personal intended in his report, but he was carrying out his duty The matter was taken under advisement by the Board of Revenue. The attor- ney for the Board of Revenue has ad- vised that $250 was not too great an amount.
 The coroner is man without hands and his offer to retire to the hall With the auditor was sensational.

COST OF LIVING.
Novelist Haggard Cannot Understand
 Conditions Here.


 Cleveland, (Ohio) Dispatch. q have heard much about trusts in this country, but I really don't know anything about them,' said Rider Hag- gard, the famous English novelist. He is in this country as a representative of the British Government, investigat- Ing the Salvation Army farm colonies. Yesterday he was at the colony at Mem tor near here.
 q don't see why living in this coun- try should not be cheap he continued.
 we are not troubled with trusts to any extent in England, and we can
 buy your products in England cheaper than they can be purchased here. Liv- ing seems to me to be unnecessarily expensive here. Occasionally there Is disposition in some places on the part of some to put up the prices in England, but it is only local. There is too much competition for price boost ing there.
 Everything seems to be dear in this country. I was impressed with the way people in New York live. They must all be wealthy. Why the only cheap thing I found in New York was the tram cars.
 Since I have come to this country 1t seems to be charge, charge, charge, and tip, tip, tip. A tip of cents in Eng land Is considered a very good tip.
 Fancy offering a tip like that in this country. In England they are jolly we'll satisfied with what would be con sidered very small tip in America. "The cost of living is small in com parison to what it is here. Take 1t in the country districts outside of the large cities for example An agricul- tural laborer can rent a comfortable home there and live very nicely on $4
 week. Everything he buys he can
 buy reasonable. I really do not under
 stand how everybody in this country lives so high, unless they are all rich.
