1t seems to be in the very air,
this spirit of prosperity that per-
meates every corner of San
Angelo and the Concho Country.
On every hand and on every side
the merchant, the baker and
even the candlestick maker
seems to feel and think that bet
ter times are IN store for San
Angelo than ever they even
thought of before. The mer-
chant is placing a better order
with each wholesale house he
deals with, the baker is stock
ing up on bread and whistling a
merry lay as he makes his dough,
the candlestick maker is as
happy on present prosperity and
prospects as a man can be-San
Angelo News.

song of Deming and Luna county

comes in.

Deming naturally has the best
prospects Of any town in New
Mexico. If self could be forgot
ten long enough for the people
to get shoulder to shoulder and
push, things would soon begin to
hum. One of the most import
ant features in giving any town
an impetus is advertising, ever
lasting advertising. The real
estate men and the citizens of
Deming should join hands ard
put the advantages and mani
fold resources and blessings of
this country before the world.
San Angelo, Tex, is one of the
best illustrations of this we
have seen during our less than
four years residence in the
great blooming, booming West.
San Angelo has grown in two
years from a town of 5000 to a
city of 1900 to $4,000. Why?
For no other reason than it was
advertised. The Commercial
Club, the real estate men and
the citizens generally joined
hands and advertised their town
in every conceivable way.
Advertise peming properly
and it wont be long before the
town will grow as it should.

MOHAMMED's BLOODY HAND

History of the Imprint on . Pillar In
the Church Of st. Sophia.
In the course Of our exploration in
Constantinople we visited building
In an obscure and poor quarter
STEAMBOAT inhabited solely by Moham-
medans.
1t is called the Mosque Kahrie, but
it is or was a church dedicated to the
Blessed Virgin. The beauty Of the
mosque ceiling and walls not even CEN
turtles of neglect have been able to OBJ
literate.
When we returned to the great
Church Of st. Sophia, now mosque,
and saw again the print Of the bloody
hand of Mohammed, which Is pointed
out high up on the wall Of that once
Christian church, we understand Its
significance better than we had at first
sight
Mohammed II. after advancing his
outposts gradually and stealthily had
finally, as If in night, crossed the
Bosporus from Asia and raised his
forts on the European side of the
stream. Just the day before, on a
trip up the Bosporus, we had seen the
ruins Of those Notifications.
The rulers of the city had protested
in vain against this encroachment.
When the Moslems finally attacked
the city the Christians fed In terror to
st. Sophia. An ancient legend, firmly
believed, promised that this sanctuary
was absolutely safe.
Mohammed proved the fallacy OF
their trust by breaking down the doors,
numbering those who had sought safe
ty there, men, women and children
80 many Of them that finally, forcing
his horse over the great pile Of dead
bodies, away up on the side OF pillar
he planted his bloody hand on the
clear wall in token Of his victory over
the Christians. That CORY hand still
overshadows the fairest portion OF
southeastern Europe.-Rosary Maya

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the eusta.
chan tube. When it is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness Is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out, and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition on the mucous
surfaces

LETTER TO r B RUST,
Monterey. va.

Dear Sir: We should like to set
your boys and girls at work on
this question in arithmetic and cas-
uistrv.
A farmer is fatting three hogs in
three small pens; they have equal
room and straw and care, and are
fed in these three ways: first hog,
on a certain proportion of milk
and cooked cornmeal; second hog,
on the same, half water; third hog,
on the same, half water and saw
dust. How long will it take, how
much will they weigh, how much
will they cost,ana what'll the prof
it be on the three?
And similar question in pig
mentry. That same farmer is 60
ing to paint three barns same size;
and he says to three painters
"what'll you take to paint that
barn?"
First painter scratches his head
few minutes and says: "f'll do it
for $50"
Second painter; 1915"
Third painter: SOFAS
Will they each get barn to
paint. or one get two, or one all
three, or nobody any; and whatll
they make on the job?
That's about how painting goes
sometimes.
But there is a way to reckon: IS a
gallon. The difficulty is in know.
ing how many gallons to buy.
There's way out Of that.
