STA Tablets Is manufactured by a new
process which develops its greatest
efficiency. Pepsin supplies to the di-
gestive apparatus one of the most i'm
portant elements of the digestive
fluid, and exerts tonic influence
upon all the glands which supply all
the other elements necessary to prop
err assimilation and digestion.
The carminatives add properties
which promptly relieve the disturb

food
The perfect combination of these
ingredients make remedy absolute

A tribute 10 the booster is paid by
the Brownsville Herald which says:
I'VE meet him with smile, because
we see in him big, warm, CHEEKY
nature that loves the world and be-
lieves in it himself, and his people
We cant help from liking him be-
cause he believes in bringing out the
best in people. The term booster is
not a pretty word. but it means a
world of things. 1t stands for prog
ress and development. 1t stands for
a break-a-way from the old order Of
things and plunge into the newest
of the new. Your booster sees the
immense possibilities of things and
is not slow to proclaim them from
the housetops and beyond the citys
gates. He is a town builder and
desirable citizen"

RECOVERING GOLD FROM SAND
New Device to Discover Treasure in
Sunhen Ships.

To the mouth of the River Coline,
lOH BrightlingSea, an extraordinary
machine was towed and anchored
yesterday. 1t is to be used in a final
attempt to recover the 500. 900
pounds treasure of gold, in coins and
bars, which is said to have gone
down in II. M. S. Lutine in 1897 near
the island of Terschelling, off the
coast of Holland, says the London
Daily Mail
A portion of the treasure has been
recovered, but all ordinary dredging
plants are now useless, as the YES
sci has sunk into the sand. The new
device is great steel tube nearly
100 feet in length and wide enough
to allow a man to walk erect down
it's center. At one end is metal
chamber provided with windows and
doors, and at the other medley of
giant hooks and other tackle.
The apparatus has just been COM
pleted after years of work by firm
of shipbuilders. "One end of the
tube" explained a member of the
| firm yesterday, will be clamped to
| the side of a steamship or barge The

| the bottom. Then, by means of COM
pressed air, all the water will be
| forced from the tube and also from
| the chamber at the bottom of it,
flush upon the bed of the sea.
Divers will walk down a stair
way in the center of the tube until
! they reach the submerged chamber.
! Here they will don their diving cos
tunes, and opening a series of water
weight doors will step straight out
into the water. Engineers will be
stationed in the chamber, and follow

means of portable telephones, they

which are fitted to the sides of the
tube. These dredgers, it is hoped,
will suck away the sand around the
sides of the heavy chamber until it
gradually sinks by its own weight
right down on to the deck of the
wrecked ship Then the divers, max

the deck of the ship and thence to the

JAPAN GETS 4 NEW ISLAND.
It Was Previously Unknown and 1t
Bids Fair TO Be Wealthy.

The Japanese report the discovery
Of a previously unknown island
about $50 miles east of Formosa.
The discovery is somewhat surprls-
ing at this late date. The japanese
flag has been raised over it, and the
name Nishigawa has been given to
the island, says the New York Sun.
A Japanese agent, Mr.. Nishihata,
is very enthusiastic over the dlscoV-
cry. He says it has great natural
wealth.
He found in the waters between
the surrounding flat reef and the
shores of the island several kinds OF
market able shells and mother OF
pearl in abundance. There are also
ineXhaustible supplies of commercial
coral: and better still he found enor-
nous quantities of calcium phosphate
on the reefs, that will AFFORD the
best of artificial fertilizer, and he
thinks the supply is sufficient to
keep miners busy for fifty or sixty
years.
AS his vessel approached the is
land Mr.. Nishihata saw cloud OF
birds lowering over it, and he found
later that they We're of a species
of which the Japanese call osadori.
These birds abound there in great
numbers and are counted among the
valuable resources Of the island, as
there is good market for their
plumage in Europe, particularly in
France. Trade in these feathers has
already begun, and they are the first
of the islands resources to be ship
ped to Europe.
The flora is tropical, but the is
land seems to be fairly healthful NO
reptiles or yenomous insects can be
found. and the only quarruped that
the island seems TO possess is va
yiety OF rat about the size of rab-
bit This addition of a few score Of
square miles 10 the known land sur
face of the earth bids fair to add
title 10 the worlds wealth.

ROTATION OF CROPS.

Intelligent farmers everywhere
are beginning to realize that some
system Of diversification in cropping
is necessary to secure the best re-
suits
rhe growing OF one crop on the
same land year after year results in
exhausting the natural elements Of
plant foods and depletes the supply
Of humus in the soil which is so
necessary to the growing crops in
soils of every character. When the
farmer changes his crops ne changes
his methods of culture and, there
fore, places his soil in better con-
dition to respond to cultivation. Dr.
versity of crops enables him to bet
ter preserve the natural fertility of
the soil and when this is done a
large yield is secured.
The one-crop farmer does not rep
resent our most progressive farming
class. He is creature of reverses
and when he elects to go forward he
does so without regard to safety or
expense. He does not belong to that
class that believes that progress is
the law of our race; who holds that
no man OF enterprise can afford to
stand still while the world goes for
ward-that inactivity means simply
stagnation and decay, and that the
surest proof of vitality and vigor
both of muscle and brain, is the
steady, forward movement of wise
and practical men who are always
intent on working out better meth
DDS.
Diversification and rotation simply
means skill in farming.
farmer can overcome difficulties
much more successfully through
skillful operations than through the
operations of mere physical strength.
The day for purely physical strength
has passed and men who would farm
with prOIlt must farm WITH Skill. Inc
hands should serve the head for it is
better to use the brain than the mus
Gle.
To succeed in the diversification
Of crops it requires a wide range of
ledge-knowledg of how to
cultivate the various crops and the
soil to which they are best adapted.
The farmer who grows a number
of crops-cotton, corn, grain, forage
crops, vegetables and fruits-for the
market is the one who never fails
to realize a profit on his labor. True
