NEW USES OF COTTON OIL.
This Great Southern Product Fast Be.
coming Household Remedy.


Nearly everybody these days knows
the usefulness of cotton oil, as an edi-
BILE in place of olive oil, and as a cook
ing fat in place of lards and com
pounds, and a high grade butter fat,
but few indeed know its value as a
household remedy.
In booklet recently sent out by the
Texas Cotton Seed Crushers' Asso-
citation the following home remedies"
are given, and an authority for each
and every one of them.
Burns, scalds, cuts and wounds of
all kinds are soothed and benefited,
and rapid healing is induced by bind
ing with bandages soaked with cotton
oil
The most painful earache is fire.
quently relieved by dropping cotton
oil in the ear, and if from cold or
catarrh the nose is raw and sore, drop
some warm cotton oil into the nostrils
holding the head bach to allow it to
penetrate the nasal passage.
Delicate and sick babies and larg-
err children are rapidly nourished and
fattened by frequent rubbing with
cotton oil, and a baby so thin at
birth as to be almost despaired Of will
raidly take on flesh and health with
no other treatment than frequent cot
ton oil messages, gently administered.
For stiff joints, either from cold,
fatigue, or strain, or incipient rheu-
matism, or for sore throat, a rubbing
with cotton oil offers a quick and
pleasant remedy and for bad colds,
coughs or sore chest, a few doses of
cotton oil will give relief, and indeed
mas even been recommended and
'ound effective in tuberculosis trou-
lles.
Nearly everyone would be benefit |
ID by taking two or three tablespoon
uls of cottonoil a day, for it is not on
Y a food but medicine. 1t adds nu-
rition without distress or repletion,
md is a gentle and grateful lubricant
o the intestines.
IF you are troubled with constipa-
ion the juice of one orange and two
of cotton oil taken just
,efore retiring will relieve any but a
cry obstinate case, and at the same
ime furnish healthful nutrition. -

The Bryan High School is also afIil-
lated with the State University of
Texas, and the fact of being con-
nected with two of the greatest uni
versities of the South is quite dis
tinction for the Bryan schools. The
University of Tennessee is the Oldest
in the South of schools now ranking
as great institutions except the I'm
iversiy of Virginia. The fact that the
faculty of the Tennessee University
las accredited the Bryan schools
without a personal inspection from
some member of the faculty is also a
high personal tribute from his native
state to Supt. Lawson, and gratifying
to the many new friends with whom
he has surrounded himself since com.

Mo Partialitv.

The workings of justice as recorded
by Major Il. {. Johnson in his "TraCk
of the Crescent" were trifle erratic.
An EngliShman was travelling in a
wild part of Hungary, and anxious to
see the institutions of the country he
made an application to town magis-
trate, asking to hear how justice was
conducted.
The magistrate, gorgeous in mag
niticent Magyar costume, received him
cordially and sent for any case which
might be awaiting trial. A gigantic
gendarme in an immense cooked hat
ushered in prisoner, a plaintiff and
witness. The prisoner was accused
of stealing the plaintiffs goose.
"Well, sir" said the magistrate to
the accuser, what have you to say|'
please, your high mightiness, the
prisoner stole my goose"
The magistrate turned to the wit
ness.
What have you to say?'
please, your high mightiness, saw
the prisoner steal the goose
"pris0ner, what have you to sayT"
please, your high mightiness, did
not steal the goose"
The magistrate then delivered the
sentence.
Il give you fortnight in prison."
he said to the accused, "fOr stealing
the goose" TO the plaintiff he said,
Il give you fortnight In prison for
not looking after your goose and
turning to the witness, You shall
have II fortnight in prison for not
minding your own business"

me. get lots Of pcttng everywhere |
go, and honestly like it.
She was very attractive, this silent
Margie. Silent is not the word at all
either, for she was anything but 81
lent. She was the embodiment Of mo-
tion. graceful. alluring motion. Her
yellow hair blew gently in little rings
about her delicate face, in which the
color came aud went inceSSantly; her
eyes glOWed aud laughed and changed
from gray 10 almost black with her
changing thoughts; her pretty mouth,
though denied the power of speech,
could smile with IA score of meanings,
and her tluttering, slender fingers
spoke grace itself. BY the time we
had driven through the mustard fields
and wound around the sweet scented
hills | was regarding this girl with
strange feelings, considering the fact
that ! was confirmed ceibate, or
thought was.
How Margie loved flowers! The
roses which gave the house its name,
the pinkS. naSturtiumS, the red gera-
NUNS, which Calfornians are inclined
to dub common she reVeled among
them like golden butterfly. But bet
ter. | think, did she love the wild
things of the hills. When we came in
from our horseback rides, fragrance Of
monardcla and southern wood and
good medicine" mingled their sweet
ness and tloated from her garments
like incense from about some beauti-
full, golden crowned sun goddess
We never saw that girl morbid. She
was like Il spirit from paradise with
its brightness still touching her. One
day | asked her how she could be so
when she had been so cruelty afflicted.
Nothing can work me damage eX-
cept myself" she answered. Some
one has said that the harm we sustain
we carry about with us and that we
are never real sufferers except by our
own fault"
THAT doesn't prove up. Is it your
fault that you are deprived of hearing
beautiful words and making them"
perhaps your idea of damage and
mine are not quite th' same" she
spelled, and her eyes were very tender
Il have so much that Alcrwise
might have missed. have learned SO
much. l have learned to be happy
whether l am happy or not Here
she laughed. "Oh. tlHt can be done
but, do you know. Have a little pri
vate theory that just aroend the cor
ner there Is waiting for me so great q
happiness that I won't ever have to
pretend any more. 1t will be so mag
niticent happiness that unhappiness
will be impossible. It's sure waiting
just around the corner"
Another day we sat on the hillside
idly watching birds and butterflies
and creeping things at our feet.
Are you going TO stay here. as your
aunt wishesy' | asked her.
"Oh, no" The answer came quickly
''In few days am going to work.
