do something to raise money to de-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham.
ed you have rumb1ing sound or inper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inAamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

WHY so WEAK2
Kidney Troubles May be Sappins
Your Life Away. Brownsville People
Have Learned This Fact.

When a healthy man or woman
begins to run down without ap-
parent cause, becomes weak, Ian
guild, depressed, suffers backache,
headache, dizzy spells and urinary
disorders, look to the kidneys for
the cause of it all. Keep the kid
neys well and they will keep you
well. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys and keep them well.
J.P. Anderson, carpenter, liv-
ing in the southern part of
Corpus Christi, Texas, says:
my Kidneys have given me mere
or less trouble for the past two
years. A sharp twinge of pain at
times, darting through my back,
loins and the secretions were too
frequent and caused much annoy
ance, especially IN the winter. My
son saw Doan's Kidney Pills adj
vertised and brought home a box.
I used them and obtained great
benefit. The action of the kidneys
was corrected and my back has
given me no trouble since. I can
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
with pleasure.
Plenty more proof like this from
Brownsville people. Call at J. L.

European Postal Superiority.

In New York it takes two hours
to send a special delivery letter
from Harlem to Twenty-third
street. In Berlin, through the
Rohrpost. a letter can be sent a
similar distance in two minutes.
1t would be advantageous to all
people if the statesmen of the world,
foregoing for a season their provin-
ciaI boasting, would convene in in
ternational session and exchange
ideas regarding the worlds pro-
gress. I was impressed with this
fact when I had occasion in Buda-
pest 20 send a registered letter. In
stead of having to wait for clerk
to copy the superscription and
hand me a receipt, 1 had simply to
show the letter properly stamped,
and then drop it in a mechanical
continuance, which Immediately is
sued a ;.eceipt card automatically
dated and numbered. It makes the
system of registering a letter in
Hungary as simple as dropping a
piece of mail in a letter box in
America. I desired to test this in
and so I mailed letter
in Budapest addressed to myself in
a hotel at Munich. Two hours
later took the train to the Bava-
rian capital, and the day after I
arrived in the hotel I received word
that there was a registered letter
for me at the postofice. The Ger
man system of postal money orders
is far superior, it seems to me, to
the American. You hand the
money into a German postof6ee,
give the address of the person to
whom it is sent, and walk away
with the receipt. That ends your
The government

even to the room of the ADDRESSED. |

THE anti-free pass law has re-
ceived its first blow from the judi
ciary. In a decision handed down
by Judge Kittrell he sustains the
contention of the Wells Fargo Ex-
press Company that the Texas and
New Orleans railroad must live up
to its contract and furnish transport
tation for the employees of the Ex-
press company Judge Kitrell says:
The most casual reading of the
act will show that it was intended
30 prevent free transportation.
This being true it is manifest that
the bill does not apply to and can
not affect the agreement between
che plaintiff and the defendant, for
It is obvious that transportation
for which party has paid millions
of dollars, and for which he will,
before the contract has expired,
pay millions more. is not free"
The Judge does not pass on the
constitutionality of the act but
merely takes judicial cognizance
of the contract feature.

SEWERS are extremely important,
and the town must have them as
soon as possible. THE HERALD
realizes this as much as anyone.
But, every sane man knows that a
sewer system can never be built
without having water-works first,
and it is simply absurd to say that
because we cannot build both at
once, we should not build the wa
ter-works. It will be very few
wears at most, before the city can
issue sufficient bonds, on the in
creased taxable values, which will
result from the growth of the town
once the water and light systems
are installed, in order to build the
sewers. The city can then own all
three, instead of giving away these
very valuable franchises to corpora
.tions which would naturally want
to make all they possibly could
out of them, while the city will
only need to make expenses on
them. Sewers will soon follow the |
water-works, but the water-works
are bound to come first.
