The First Requisite Of Beauty.

The first requisite of beauty is
a clear complexion. Orino Laxi-

blotched complexion as it stimu-
lates the liver and bowels, and the
eyes become bright and clear. You
owe it to your friends to take it if
your complexion is bad. Orino
Laxative Fruit Syrup does not
nauseate or grippe and is very pleas
ant to take. Refuse substitutes.

RAINFALL.
According to the Records it Is
Amply Sufficient fer General
Agriculture.

If we accept the records at
Plainview and other inland towns
for the past ten or twelve years, it
would give the Central Plains
country an average rainfall of
twenty-four inches. Letting these
go however, because not official
and accepting Amarillo, because a
government station and official, we
still have for the country mention
ed-the Central Plains-an aver
age rainfall of twenty-five inches
This record taken for fourteen
years back and compared with the
official record of that portion Of
the State known as the Central
West" only loses two inches an
nually in favor of that portion of
Texas which as a farming country,
all things considered, will rank
with any part of these United
States west of the Mississippi
river and east of the Rocky
mountains.
In making this comparison of
rainfall-the Central Plains
against Central Texas-it must be
bornein mind that we of the Plains
get almost all of our rains during
the crop or growing season while
our Central Texas farmers gets
most of theirs in the fall and early
spring when not needed. Take
the crop season and there is no
disputing the fact but that the
Central Plains, one year with
another, gets more rain than does
Central Texas.
The News man can remember
distinctly when Central Texas as a
farming country was only an ex-
pertinent, and only to many of its
citizens, a very poor one at that.
These doubters of the seventies,
and eighties, many of them there
yet, will tell you that the climate
has changed" that it always rains
more when the country is settled. "
They believe, of course, and are
ready to swear to it any old day;
but, alas, the facts are all against
them.
No greater fallacY exists today
than the theory, announced and
believed in by many, that the rain
fall of a given territory is Increased
by settlement and the turning OF
the soil. The News is emphatic
in this statement because official
records, as previously stated, are
all against it. These records, in
Texas, some of them running back
to the days when it was a republic,
show thatd and wet seasons have
alternated all along from the be-
ginnining as they do now; and,
further, that the general average
annual rainfall, when taken in re-
RODS of ten years prior to farming
operations, is about what is now.
And so it is with official records
dealing with other climatic condi-
tons.
Taking then these official rec
ords as facts, which they undoubt-
edly are, we see that Texas, today,
in so far as annual rainfall and
other climatic conditions are con-
cerned is about the same she was

BTHE PROOF OF TRACTICE.

With the closing of the year we have every reason
to be pleased, as are better prepared to meet the
annual settlements than before and much better
than the average house can be- We placed our bust
ness upon strictly cash basis June Is and since that
time every dollars worth that has gone over our
counter has been paid for We have kept no books
during that seven months and Our total losses during
that time will not exceed $40. We now have no bills
to collect and are prepared to discount our own.
All this has an immediate and direct action upon
the prices able to make and the way the word
has gone abroad that lit is cheaper at Wrights" is
one of the most pleasing things we have to remember
this Christmas
AT first we thought our trade would fall off little
when we put on the cash system but to our surprise
and qualification has steadily increased. The peo-
pie saw the point, that they were not paying any
bodys bills but their own when they bought grocer
les and dro goods for cash. and today we are doing
mole business than at any time since we began bus
mess and there is every to believe it will con-
tinue to grow the people realize the great advan-
tage in paying cash and getting cash prices.
We would like to have your trade in 1906 and
know we can save you money all have to buy, and
at the same time give you as good or better goods
than you would get anywhere else
Why not try it a month ? Trade with us in Ian
uary, and you will find the saving sufficient to JUS
tify trading with us the entire year.
Yours for cash and economy

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so

Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
Il corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug

Cost Of tuberculosis.

DR.. Harmon Biggs of New York
(American Medicine, after careful
estimation, places the annual expense
of tuberculosis to the people Of the
United States at $330,0O0, 100000. He
first calculates the loss to New York
city by putting a value of $1,000 upon
each life at the average at which
deaths from tuberculosis occur. This
gives a total value of the lives lost
annually of s1,5OO,0OOOO.
But this is not all. For at least nine
months prior to death these patients
cannot work, and the loss Of service
at one dollar day, together with food,
nursing medicines, attendance, etc,
at one and one-half dollars a day, re-
suits in a further loss of $4,000, 100000,
making yearly loss to the munich
pality of s23,OQO,00OGO. For the whole
country the 100000 deaths from tuber'
culosis represent in the same way a
loss of $3.50 000O00.O0.
DR.. Biggs also states that the total
expenditure in the city of New York
for the care of tubercuIous patients is
not at present over $780, 10000 year;
that Is. 1t does not exceed two per cent
of the actual loss by DEATH etc. "lf
this annual expenditure were doubled
or trebled it would mean saving Of
several thousand lives annually, to say
nothing of the enormous saving in suf-
ferlng." Further evidence Of this is
afforded by the fact that in the last
twenty years the total number of
deaths from tuberculosis in New York
has decreased instead Of increasing,
although there has been an increase
Of 70 per cent in the general popula-
ton.
