AT times when you don't feel just
right. when you have bad stomach.
take something right away that will
assist digestion; not something that
will stimulate for a time but some
thing that will positively do the very
work that the stomach performs un-
der ordinary and normal conditions,
something that will make the food
digest. To do this you must take a
natural disgestant like Kodol For
Dyspepsia. Kodol is scientific pre-
paration of vegetable acids with
natural digestants and contains the
same juices found in a healthy
stomach. Each dose will digest more
than 5000 grains Of good food. 1t is
sure to afford prompt relief;it digests

taken into the stomach

Everything taken into the stomach
should be digested fully within GER
tain time. When you feel that your
stomach is not in good order, that
the food you have eaten is not being
digested, take a good natural digeS-
tant that will do the work the diges-
tive juices are not doing. The best
remedy known today for all stomach
troubles is Kodol, which is guaran-
teed to give prompt relief. 1t is a

The Texas Anti-Tuberculosis
Association is one that the

financial support. It's object is
| to conduct a campaign of edu-
cation in order that the fright
full loss of life due to tbuercu-
losis may be lessened and final
ly averted. 1t is estimated that
tuberculosis costs the State
$500 lives annually, and when
the economic value of these is
considered together with the
cost of the care of the sick,
the support of orphans and
other dependents, the money
waste reaches a total of $780,
100000 year.
If it were proposed to tax
the people $46,000,000 annual

the voters would turn the State
upside down, and yet this ire

Cost Of Hauling.
Bad. Roads Make 1t High

We have been told by author
tiles that the American farmer
loads an average of a little more
than 1000 pounds on his wagon
and draws it IL miles at a cost
of So. This equals % cents a
ton mile. Ii we assume that.

So; anif wes assume that the
9,404,4 30 persons in agriculture
in:.this country use half of the
products of our farms, and that
the other 66,568,350 persons use
only the other half of these
products, the cost of taking
these to market would be $780,
$4,000. YAH,
Many tests have shown that
loads may be drawn in. Wagons

dition at cost only a little
more than one4third that of

this is correct, Saving of
$3.50, 768,680 might lie made in
the cost of marketing half our
crops of a year, if they could
be hauled over macadam rather
than over common earth roads.
That saving would equal. $1.72
apiece for us, or much. more
than all our roadwork for the
year costs.
But macadam roads cost
must money. Still, it may be
that the first cost will concern
the American people less than
will the question: What will
the investment in good roads
actually pay us? Of course ev-
erybody knows that this nation
can get, at moderate rates of
interest, all the money it will
spend on improvements which
will pay interest and sinking

honestly.
This is a peaceful nation, but
in the decade mentioned it spent
for war purposes $2,021, 39O,306
or forty-three times as much as
was allotted to agriculture. Yet
our farms have for generations
been our most effective defense
against aggressions by other ma
tons. No power dare so war
on us as to check the flow of
the mighty river of life that
flows from America to feed the
old world. Europe could not
permit such stoppage, and live.

ensure peace.

This formation is particularly no.
ticaable in the rich ore bodies be-
ing exploited by the Continental
Mining Co., operating the old Panu-
co mines. The ore fields owned
by the Progresso Mining Company
also show indications of like ma
ture. Both formations carry gold,
values, with a good percentage
OF copper and trace OF silver. The
metamorphic formation carries clean
quartz, which readily yields good
values to the free milling process.
or course, these true quartz ores
constitute at present the real value
of the properties, though there are
undoubtedly large bodies of sedi-
mentary ores which will later be
treated by the cyanide process.
Shipments Of copper sulphides to the
shelters, show 10 per cent to 50 per
cent copper.

The Texas Land, Mining 6 Pros
pecting Company, with offices at Sal
Antonio, Texas, and comprised OF
business men and capitalists Of the
Alamo City, owns sevetal promising

company was formed for the purpose
of thoroughly prospecting the min
ing fields OF Mexico, and its officers
are: A. M. Fischer, president; G..
w. Cannon, vice president; j. j..

lett, secretary.
The Progresso Mining Company,
Of which DR.. William Hope Davis is
president, owns 500 acres of rich
mineral land, comprising twelve
groups of properties, which consist
of 200 claims. Considerable work
has been accomplished ON this prop
erty by sinking five shafts, 80 to 100
feet deep, with numerous crosscuts
and two tunnels, 100 and 800 feet
in length, respectively. The pay ore
consists of gold-bearing quartz, cop.
per carbonates and copper sulphides
with both iron and copper ores in
the oxidized state. Assays show as
high as 80 per cent copper, and in
free milling ore, gold values as much
as $85 to the ton. A stamp mill and
concentrating plant have been placed
in operation for the treatment Of
the free milling ores and a cyanide
plant is under consideration. This
particular district is situated at al
altitude of $500 feet above the SEE
level, and while there is little run
ming water on the properties nov
being operated, it seems that wa
ter strata is in existence, which
when tapped furnishes plenty of wa
