Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1906-02-09

A city without trees or shrub
berry is like river without wa
ter-pitifu!ly suggestive Of des-
olation. No matter how many
handsome and expensive houses
line the thoroughfares, if trees
and flowers are not there to lend
the softening touch of nature to
the scene, the effect is cold, for
bidding and inartistic. Morti-
tying it may be TO the vanity of
mankind, but the fact remains
that no amount of art or indus
try can equal the beauty of Ma
ture's productions. l. v i ; h
thousands of dollars upon your
home, tax the ingenuity and
skill of world famous artists,
sculptors and those whose life
work is to bea utify and adorn,
and, after all, a bed of fragrant
lilies, climbing vine, a flower
ing shrub surpasses the grand
est creations of mortal kind.
Plant flowers and vines and
shrubs, and when the mysteri-
Gus miracle of growth and frui.
ton has been accomplished, 10
you will be due the praise as CO.
workers with nature for the
production of beauty and incense
unrivaled by the arts of men

oIsFIGURINo SKIN HUMoR
Impossible to Get Employment, as
Face and Body Were Covered with
Sores-Cured by Cuticura.

"Since the year 1894 I have been
troubled with very bad case of &C.
zema which I have spent hundreds of
dollars trying to cure, and I went to
the hospital, but they failed to cure
me, and it was getting worse all the
time. Five weeks ago my wife bought
a box of Cuticura Ointment and one
cake of Cuticura Soap, and I am
pleased to say that am now COM
pletely cured and well. It was i'm
possible for me to get employment,
as my face, head and body were COW
cred with it. The eczema first ap-
peared on the top of my head, and it
had worked all the way around down
the back of my neck and around to my
throat, down my body and around the
hips. It itched so I would be obliged
to scratch it, and the flesh was raw.
I am now all well, and I will be
pleased to recommend the Cuticura

speedy and permanent cure of skin

tnat a wife made to her husband when
he came home at three o'clock in the

''The man came home very quietly.
In fact, he took off his shoes on the
front doorstep. Then he unlocked the
door and went cautiously and slowly
upstairs on his tiptoe, holding his
breath.
But light was streaming through
the kephole of the door of the bed
room. With a sigh he paused Then
he opened the door and entered.

PAINTING SPELLS
Cured by Or. Williams Pink Pills, the
Kennedy Which Actually Makes
New Blood.

NEW 9toO6s
Anamia makes the patient short of
breath so that there is often a sense of
suffocation, sometimes there is a cough
and the sufferer seems to be going into
consumption, at others there is a mur-
muir of the heart and heart disease is
feared. In the following case severe
fainting spells were an alarming symp-
tom resulting from IS too little blood %
Mrs. George Forester. of 2 Curtis
street, Watertown, NY, says: s.Some
time ago took heavy cold and it left
me III q very weak condition. I be-
came worse and worse until finally I
had anaemia. I lost flesh and appetite,
had no color and was subject to fainting
spells. Sometimes they would attack
me suddenly and would fall to the floor
with hardly any warning.
"I had one of our best physicians.
but after he had been attending me
about a month without any improve
ment in my condition, I decided to see
what DIR. Williams Pink Pills would do.
"The pills were well known to me
for, about two years before, members
of my family had taken them with the
best results. I soon found that the pills
were just what needed for I soon be-
gan to notice an improvement. After I
had taken them while longer was en-
tlreIy cured, and we all believe in DR.
Williams Pink Pills and recommend
them highly
DIR. Williams Pink Pills actually make
new blood. They do that one thing and
they do it well. Impoverished blood is
deficient in red corpuscles. DIR. Williams
Pink Pills increase the number of these
red corpuscles and in this way send
health and strength to every tissue.

reason
If her system is in deranged condi-
ton, or she is predisposed to apoplexy
or congestion of any organ, it is at this
time likely to become active and, with
a host of nervous irritations, make life
a burden.
At this time, also. cancers and tumors
are more liable TO begin their destruc-
tive work. Such warning symptoms as
sense of Suffocation, hot flashes, diz-
ziness, headache, dread of impending
evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, pal
pitation of the heart, sparks before the
eyes. Irregularities, constipation, varia-
bic appetite, weakness and inquietude
are promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the period
of life when woman's great change
may be expected.
We believe Lydia z. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound is the worlds great
est remedy for women at this trying
period.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound invigorates and strengthens the
female organism, and builds up the
weakened nervous system as no other

THE WAY TO EMO THE TRUSTS.

A leading member of the New York
supreme court the other day delivered
a remarkable address on the failure
Of the government in the nation, states
and cities to enforce the laws for the
people as against the corporations. He
broadly intim ted that all corporations
could be made to live up to their obli-
cations or else lost their franchises.
The New York justice says:
''Gas companies and railroad com
panies and the like are not mere pri-
vate companies like companies manu-
featuring wall paper or carpet or
clothes On the contrary. they have
been given public franchise to do
a public duty or service, and for that
purpose the Governments power to
take the property of individuals for
public purposes has been conferred on
them by government. That great pow
er could not be conferred on them ex.
cept on the theory that they are en-
gagged In government service. II they
fail to give proper service their fran,
chlses can be revoked"
The remedy. as Justice Gsynor
points out. is in electing lawmakers
who win serve the people. He says;
I'VE cry out against trusts, but the
legislators whom we elect busy them
selves passing laws to enable trusts
to be formed; and then they pass laws
70 curb trusts called anti-trust laws;
in fact they sometimes pass both
kinds Of laws in the same session.
Could anything be mere ludicrous?
The people are taken for mere fools
by their chosen representatives. An
of the trusts are formed under statutes
enabling one corporation to win the
shares Of other corporations. 10 that
way any number of corporations may
be brought under the control Of one
corporation, and there IS your trust
This sums up the situation correct
~ Were charters and franchises
granted that would practically revoke
themselves in the event Of any com
bination. trusts would be impossible
and there would be open competition
that would benefit the public.
Franchises should be given 70 bene
fl the people, not 30 oppose them.
