Since then I have had the food for at

Senator'S Iona Iifa.

Senator Pettus was lieutenant In
the Mexican war; he rode horseback
to California with the "forty-niners"
and was advanced from the rank OF
major to that Of brigadier general in
the confederate army. He was ad-
mitted to the bar at GAINESVILLE, Ala,
when he became 81 years of age. At
this time Texas was an independent
republic. California was part Of
Mexico and Great Britain was disput-
ing the American claim to the Oregon
country. Andrew Jackson was then
supreme in politics and was yet to
succeed in making Polk president of
the United States.

MISS GRACE E. MILLER

81 am not feeling very WELL" 81
am so nervous it seems as though

it would break"
How often do you hear these signi-
ficant expressions from w om n
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
is a cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
E. Pinkham Of Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. "Woman's llls,"
these two words are full of more
misery to women than any other two
words that can be found in the
English language. Sudden fainting,
depression Of spirits, reluctance to
go anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
irregularities are the bane of woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause Of all this misery also
discovered q remedy. Lydia 3. Pink.
hams Vegetable Compound made
from native roots and herbs holds
the record for q greater number OF
absolute cures of female ills than any
other one remedy the world has ever
known and II Is the greatest blessing
which ever came into the lives OF
suffering women.
Don't try to endure, but cure the
cause of all your suffering. Lydia e.

New York's Early Name.

Manhattan island was once named
New Orange for Is months. When
the English took 1t from the Dutch the
name New Amsterdam was changed to
New York, and then when the Dutch

1t New Orange. 1t held that name un-
til the English retook 1t in November,

A COUNTRY OF
NEvER-FAILINo CROPS
The Gulf Coast Of Texas 10 a World
BeaterI

Raymondville, Tex. Feb. 10.
This town is in the central part OF
Cameron County, Texas, which county
lies along the Gulf Coast and is Dor.
dered by the Rio Grande River on the
south. The st. Louis, Brownsville &
Mexico Railway traverses the county
from north to south.
At Raymondville last spring a field
of corn attained height of eight feet
without rain or irrigation, simply from
the moisture that was stored in the
soil. After that it required irrigating.
In Cameron County, Texas, the ears
are setting on the stalks when the
Iowa farmer is planting his crop.
Roasting ears" are In the market In
that region in the early spring, as well
as In the late fall, and at Christmas
tide.
Take alfalfa, also: The Northern
farmer who is satisfied with three or
four cuttings year from his alfalfa
field will hardly believe even the con-
sentative facts about alfalfa in Gamer
on County, Texas. Here the farmer
harvests seven or eight cuttings in the
first year.
Sugar cane, az is generally known,
is grown by planting the stalks them
selves In burrows, but this does not
have to be done every year. In the
Rio Grande Valley of Texas a single
planting will last for eight or ten
years. Another point: Rio Grande
cane contains about thirty per cent.
more sugar than that of other locali-
ties. 1t was this fact that won the
gold medal at the St Louis EXPOSE
ton for cane from the Closner plan
tation. near Hidalgo. Texas. which is
Hfty miles above Brownsville.

pages, profusely illustrated and fully
