Mr.. Tippin bought and shipped IA car

horses that will compare favorably
with those Of the state now so famous
In the development Of the class of

Missouri owes much to "Joe" Potts

it will do much for Texas. Identified

MANY HOSPITALS IN
CITIES MEXIC0'S SIZE.
Prominent Medical Travelling Man
Says They Never Fail to Pay
When Properly Conducted
Mexico is an Ideal Loca-
tion.

A f. Goetze, Brunswick, Mo-, trav-
cling representative OF johnson g.
johnson, New York firm, called at
this office Thursday and had the fol-
lowing 10 say about hospitals: II
have often wondered why Mexico has
never had hospital, and II tie citi'
zens fully realized the Importance and
saving powers OF such an institution
the present movement can meet with
nothing but success Many tosns,
this size, and some smaller, have
flourishing hospitals and quite few
OF them have been enlarged because OF
an increase In business.
I'm some places the women OF the
city form aid socie ties with dues OF
ten TO twenty-five cents per month.
the money going to outfit wards.
The hospital authorities usually have
arrangements to take care Of both the
city and county poor, that are i'll, at a
rate much below what 1t costs them
to be cared for in their homes,
"You will find, by looking up sta
tistics in the matter, that very large
per centage die each year from infec-
tion, whereas with hospital such
danger are almost totally eliminated.
The benefits of a well conducted
place of this kind are innumerable
and must be experienced to be real
lied. The following cities have hos
pItals, some more than one: Maiden,
Poplar Bluff, Cape Girardeau, Jeffer-
son City, Boonville, Maryville, Joplin,
Springfield, 3; Carthage, Bonne Terre,

TERMINAL CHANGES HANDS.
Francis is Now in the Hands Of the
Chicago & Alton ROad-More
Crews Will be Located Here
Move a Sudden One.

One of the most sudden moves made
in the railroad history Of Mexico, for
several years, was to-day when the
Alton road took charge Of the termin-
al at Fraucls which has been in the
hands Of the Burlington Route.
Local railroad men appear greatly
surprised at the change and no one
here knew previously Of the move.
Superintendent W. G. Corbett, of
the G. s. a. and Superintendent Rice,
Of the @. B. s. @. spent the day at
Francis, Thursday, with the master
mechanics Of the two roads perfecting
all plans that the change has required.
More Alton crews will move to this
city, now, and while little can be as
certained regarding the results OF the
change it is believed that it means
much to Mexico.
The Terminal has always been IN
the hands of the Burlington though
several times the present change has
been rumored.
Mr.. Corbett when seen by LEDGER
representative stated that the III
crease in business had necessltateo
more crews and yard space therefore
the change, aud that the number ol
crews would become greater as the
work grew.
The yards will be conducted ironl

NOT A REPUBLICAN SPEAKER
Prof Hugge Interviewed on Question
of Vital Interest Marriage and
Connubial bliss.

The recent lecture, at Cottonwood
Springs, by Prof. l. Lyka Hugge,
recognized authority on hymeneal
matters, aroused no little comment
among the many members of the
thinking colony there. Believing an
Interview with this famous partisan OF
antirace-suicide would be interesting
reading LEDGER representative
called on the professor, at his cottage,
and asked just what qualifications a
husband should have to please the or
dinary American Miss.
"We are in an age when the matter
of race suicide is a serious social ques-
tion, "began the learned gentleman.
In France the problem is indeed grave
for the population is making scarcely
any advance whatever. English
sociologists are worried becaus the bet
ter classes are multiplying too slowly
and the lower status of social life too
rapidly. In America the ultra fash.
ionables prefer a dog or TEDDY
Bear" to a baby. Conditions are OF too
significant an Importance to be over
looked and will eventually lead to a
diseased social organization II not
remedied."
"Babies are a worry, fact that
stares one In the face most forcibly
after walking three hundred laps
around bed room In the 'wee sman
hours Of the morning with ten pound
bunch Of squirming humanity In your
arms. Yet this same man, who be-
means his fate and wishes the "kid"
some place else, has sat In moonllt
park three times as long, as the hours
the above mentioned foot race con-
sumed, and held 10 bis arms a bunch
Of female loveliness, weighing In the
neighborhood of a hundred and fifty
pounds clad In fluffy conception Of
some dress makers, and babbled just as
as uninteligbly as bis offspring
1t is the inconsis tancies Of the race
that must be reckoned with.
1.-THE question Of what to name the
baby and how to hang picture, with
out swearing, are as nothing beside
the cares Of an embryo pater familias.
The good father should know just
where to find the paregoric bottle, at
3, p. m, without awakening his wife
express no views on the mother. .in-law
question Except where no one will
hear himl: grimly eat the biscuit,
made by the latest cooking school
model, without saying unpleasant
things about something mother used
to make, and, above everything, use a
stuffed club In preference to a slipper
when impressing matter Of import
ance on the wife.
~ am not married and therefore
may observe these things from the /!
point of disinterested party without
the slightest prejudice. Connubial
bliss is The outcome Of diplomatic
sagacity on the part of all concerned |
and is as essential to the household of a |
modern family as the bait on a fishing |
