The Herald viii Issue a Folder.

TIE HERALD has for some time had
in view the publication of an illustrated
folder or booklet advertising " Greater
Brownsville" and the resources of the
Brownsville country. 1t will be hand
somely gotten up, published on fine
book paper, and illustrated with num-
Der of half-tone cuts, showing the lead
ing buildings here, and views of interest
in this section.
It is expected that the leading bust
ness men and promoters of various en-
terprises in this section will subscribe for
these folders in hundred lots or more,
the advertisement of each Individual or
firm being printed on the back of the
number of folders subscribed for. Sew
eral of our leading real estate firms have
agreed to take a large number of these
folders, and it is expected that others
will patronize the enterprise with equal
liberality. Fuller explanations will be
published shortly, and a canvass made
among our citizens to secure subscrip-
tons to these pamphlets, which will be
an advertisement of very high order
for Brownsville and the lower Rio Grande
valley.

Big Stick for Teddy.

A very large walking cane made
of Mexican coffee-wood and hand
somely carved was on display at
Rutledge's jewelry store today, be-
ing an object of general interest
from the label which it bore, A
Big Stick for Teddy" As the in
scription indicates, the cane is to
be sent to President Roosevelt as a
gift from Brownsville citizens,
with a suggestion that he use it to
make the Senate Committee give
Brownsville fair showing in the
investigation of the negro soldier
outrage. The stick weighs ~
pounds and would be an effective
weapon in the hands of so strenu-
Gus a person as President Roose-
welt.

CABALLEROs DE HONOR
HAVE NEW LODGE
Benevolent Mexican Order Which Or.
isinated at Brownsville Gives Eyi.
denee Of Prosperity.

The local lodge of cabaileros d.
Honor (Mexican Knights of Hon.
orr has moved into its new home
which was lately built for the
ledge on upper Adams street. The
Caballeros have reason to fee
proud of their achievement and
deserve congratulations upon the
success which has enabled them,
in so short time, to build a house
of their own. The new lodge is a
neat two-story frame building,
which was lately finished and
painted. The lodge room, in the
upper story, is quite commodious
and makes a comfortable and con-
veuient place. The building cost
81. 500.
Brownsville has the honor of be-
ing the birth place of this order,
which was organized about ten
! years ago, the late Seyeriano T.
Cara being its founder. The or
der now comprises about fifteen
subordinate lodges, including a
nunber of towns throughout
South Texas and Northern Mexico.
The order now has about $1,000,
U. S. currency, in the treasury
and is in a thriving condition.
Like its American prototype, the
Knights of Honor, it is a mutual
benefit order, paying sick benefits
and insurance to families of deceas-
ed members.
Brownsville Lodge No. is the
Grand Lodge of the Order, the
officers being as follows: Wistano
Cara, supreme councillor; Manuel
Cneto, grand secretary; Arnulfo
Correa, grand treasurer. The
local lodge now has membership
of 240, including many of our
most substantial Mexican residents.
The three officers named are well
known business men of Browns
vile.
The lodge will celebrate the in
auguration of the new lodge very
shortly.

LATEST FAD IN MEDICINE.
opsOnic Theory VIII Explain Why
You Are Sick or Immune,

/ lou are SICK or Immune.
| Immunity from illness according &
The opsonic theory, the latest discovery
in medicine, was the subject Of DR.
cleveland Floyd's public lecture al
the Harvard Medical School recently
'0The reason why one person will
come down with Sickness" said DR.
Floyd, while others living practically
| in the same environment remain inn
mune, according to the opsonlc theory
IS that the amount of serum and white
corpuscles in that persons blood is
below normal.
THE body is being continually at
tackled in every portion by disease-pro-
ducing germs and organisms. When
ever any portion is infected nature pro-
yides that an increased amount of
blood is sent to that spot.
This is easily seen in the redness
that surrounds a boil or other form Of
Infection.
Mature rarely does anything with
ont purpose, and the reason why
more blood IS sent to the point Of at
tack is that more white corpuscles and
more serum may reach the spot The
white corpuscles and serum are the
means which nature uses to drive out
Infection.
"The serum, which is the sticky.
clear, yellowish fluid often seen around
Il scab, reduces the vitality of the germ
or organism and the white corpuscles
gorge themselves with the germs dl-
costing ana destroying them.
1t Is this feeding of the white cor
puscleS upon the germs Of bacteria that
gives the name to the theory. The
Latin word opsono means prepare food
for and the adjective opsonic conveys
that idea Of feeding on which the the
ory is based.
The usual practice in treating dis
ease, according to the opsonic theory,
is TO increase the amount Of white
corpuscles and serum in the" blood,
which is done by incubation with anti
tcXins and vaccines.
This form of treatment has proved
very effective in skin diseases, diph-
iberia, typhoid and tuberculosis. 1t
also has produced speedy results in
driving pus from the abdomen after
operations for appendicitis and in heal
iug running wounds and sores. "-BOs-

TELEPHONE CLOCKS.
Put in Like Telephones and Run Entirely
from Central Office.

Telephone companies are now fur
nishing their subscribers at a small an
nual rental self winding electric clocks
that give absolutely accurate time
The clocks car b. laced anywhere in
the house, says FaruiGr Mechanics, and
are connected to the telephone wires by
means of concealed wires
The telephone clock never stops, for
it never runs down, and should it vary
a second or two in the course of tie
twe1tyfour hours it will be correct again
within a few hours, for each day all the
telephone clocks in the city are syn
ehronized or set.
This setting is done from the central
office at some hour when the telephone
is least likely to be in use, say 3 O'Clock
a. IN. The setting requires only ma
ment and is accomplished by separate
current from the master clock.
The operation Of the telephone clock is
simple. The winding is done by means
Of dry batteries. which energize the mag
net and cause it to lift alternately two
small round weights, each one of which
in falling once will operate the clock
seven and oGe-half minutes.
The system is said to be absolutely
safe. The rental of a clock is about tie
same price as people pay for having
clocks cleaned each year.

Graves of the stone Period.

Stone Chambers, which once formed
places of interment, are frequently dis
covered within large barrows of earth
raised by the hands of man. They are
to be referred to the period of the
Danish Invasion, which is generally
termed among antiquaries the 'Stone
Period" because the use of metals was
then in a great measure unknown; and
while few are to be found in Great
Britain, there are many more of them
in Denmark. These tombs, which are
covered with earth, have most prob
ably contained the remains of the
powerful and the rich. They are al
most all provided with long entrances,
which lead from the exterior of the
