PROVISIONS OF THE
NEW SALOON LAW
Stringent Rules for Control Of Liquor
Business Violation of Law Forfeits
License.

The new liquor or saloon law
passed by the legislature lately goes
into effect on July II next. Under
its provisions liquor saloons will
have to pay $3.50 instead of $500
and beer saloons SIPS instead of
500. A permit will have to besecur-
ed from state the comptroller and
then proceed as formerly through
the county judge, etc. The license
will be forfeited if the dealer sells
to minor or allows one to enter
and remain in his place of business;
also if any game of chance prohibit
ed by law is allowed; also if lewd
women are allowed to enter and re-
main in his place of business; also
if he keeps open after II O'Clock
at night or Sundays from Satur-
day night at II to o'clock Mon
day morning. The bond is the
same-s5ooo for liquor and $1,000
for beer only. The proposed deal
er has to be resident two years
and law abiding.
The new law will make it diff
cult for a saloon to violate any law
as it gives any citizen the right 10
file a charge before the county
court and secure a hearing

BrownsviIle's Great Need.

Nothing has served more to at
tract attention to the Brownsville
country than the wonderful success
with sugar on the Blalack farm
near this place. Hundreds of let
tiers of inquiries concerning the
subject have been received by the
various land agencies and other in
dividuals here, and hundreds of
copies of The HERALD containing
reports of the analyses of the Bla-
lack sugar have been sent broad
cast over the land. The fact that
over $500 per acre can be cleared
on sugar here is going to be
strong drawing card in inducing
immigration to this section.
Brownsville Herald.
Brownsville and its section are
attracting much attention from the
outside world, not only on account
of the possibilities of sugar cultiva-
ton, but because of the general
richness of the soil. The city
should get busy and build first
class hotel to accommodate the
numerous prospectors who will Wis
it that section before the year is
over San Antonio Express.

THEY CANE; THEY SAW,
THEY CONQUERED.

It was a great day for Browns
vile, when eighty of the leading
business representatives of the
great city of Houston came to
make this town social visit. And
now that it is all over THE HER
AID can truly say that Browns
vile is HEARTILY glad that they
came, and sincerely hopes they
come again. The pleasant rela-
lions that will result from this cor
dial mingling of the best business
elements of both cities cannot but
result in mutual and lasting bene-
ats. The Houston invasion was
success. They came, they saw,
they conquered, and Brownsville
surrendered as a willing captive
before the batteries of smiles, good
wishes and hearty hand-shakes
with which the white-capped bri-
gade of Houstonians assailed the
town. Brownsville would be hap
.py to have them do it again.

BARRIERS WILL HAVE
TO BE. SKIN EXPERTS
Will Be Examined on Cutaneous Diseases
by Board.

Governor Campbell signed the
barber bill Friday and it will be-
come operative ninety days after
the adjournment of the regular
session of the legislature. The
passage of this bill is Endorsed by
the leading BARRIERS of the state but
there is no doubt that it will put
some who are doing barber work
out of business, as they will not be
able to stand successfully an ex-
animation that the law requires.
One of the requirements of the
law is that BARRIERS must have a
good knowledge Of skin diseases
and how to treat them and must
secure from the examining board,
which will be composed of BARRIERS
in good standing, a certificate or
license before they will be allowed
to work in any barber shopin Tex
as.
The examining board will be ap-
pointed by the governor on the
recommendation of BARRIERS of good
standing and will have to show
for the place. This
board of examiners will visit the
different towns at stated times to
hold examinations, at which all
who desire to engage in the barber
business must report, stand the
examination aud secure certificate
or license.

Riches In Cernstalks.

Prof Wiley of the Department
of Agriculture says that inasmuch
as every hundred pounds of con-
stalks will yield six and a half
pounds of absolute alcohol it is
obvious that the ignorant agricul
turist has been allowing an enor-
nous amount of wealth to go to
waste
Say that one acre will yield from
ten to twelve tons of grain stalks.
or about 10000 pounds, and you
have "a quantity of raw material
which will produce 1900 pounds
of absolute alcohol, or 216 gallons.
Alcohol at the present time is
worth 40 cents a gallon.
Ground in wet condition and
dried, cornstalks may be kept in
definitely, and are ready at any
time for conversion into alcohol.
Prof. Wiley says that the alcohol
derivable from the cornstalks that
now go to waste in this country
would not only drive all the mach
inery of our factories, but would
furnish the requisite power for all
our railroads and steamboats,. run
all of our automobiles, heat and
illuminate all of our houses, and
light the streets of every city in
the Union.

New Way to Telephone.

The new way of using the tele-
phone, supposed to have been hit
upon by one of the many health
cranks who are concerned with
keeping clear of germs, which is to
press the receiver against the chest
instead of holding it close to the
mouth and talking in the usual way,
the voice, it is claimed, being car
Eied perfectly. is now quite popular
IN Philadelphia. The less clothing
there is between the chest and the
receiver the better, but if the pres
sure be firm the usual amount of
wearing apparel, 1t is declared,
does not interfere. The scientific
explanation of this phenomenon is
that the sounds of the voice which
are made in the chest are carried
by the bones as they would be by
a sound board. Philadelphia Rec

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Uncsasins Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many dis
eases and symptoms-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot,
dry skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel,
disorders of the eyesight and hear
ing, dizziness, irregular heart, de-
bility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep
the filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.
]. W. Strait, Fifteenth, St..
Brownsville, Tex. says: For sew
eral years have had much diff
Guilty with my kidneys. 1t occurred
in a form of an irregularity of the
kidney secretions which was very
annoying, particularly at night as
l was forced to rise many times. 1
tried many different remedies but
found no relief until procured
Doan's Kidney Pills. One box of
this remedy regulated my kidneys.

Truck Shipments Soon.

William Doherty. traffic man
ager of the Brownsville line, said
yestesday to Post reporter that
nine carloads of homeseekers are
now on that road. This is the
greatest number that has taken ad-
vantage of the homeseekers' rates
this fall. From now on the influx
of homeseekers In the Brownsville
country will increase.
Mr.. Doherty said that he ex-
pected even greater results than
last year would be obtained in the
way of securing actual settlers,
when the men who come
into the country with the view of
settling learn what is being &C
comp1ished this year in the way of
growing truck. Shipments will
soon begin of all sorts of truck, the
prospects for which were never
brighter.
