VALUE OF RIGHT BREATHING.
Health Comes From Knowing How ane
What to Breathe.

Dust laden with the germs of con-
sumption or other disease is inhaled
by all who use the streets, but disease
is not developed unless the germs find
conditions suitable for their lodgment
and growth.
With people having catarrh there is
an ideal culture medium for these
germs, as the irritated membrane and
weakened tissues is a hot-bed where
germs must thrive and multiply until
they are numerous and active.
II you have catarrh, you should use
the easiest, simplest and quickest cure,
the direct method Of Hyomei whose
wonderful medicated air is taken in
with the air you breathe, directly fol-
lowing the destroying germs that have
been inhaled repairing any damage
they may have worked and so healing
and vitalizing the tissues as to render
catarrh and germ infection no longer
possible.
The unusual way in which Hyomei is
sold should dispel all doubt as to it's
curative properties, for Mcbride &

whom it fails to benefit. You do not

tues of this breath of life, for with

SAFETY TO PUMPS PARAMOUNT
If Main Should Spring Leak Present
Direct Pressure System Might Play
Havoc With Big Pumps at Station
Tank Would obviate Difficulty =
Council Defers Consideration.

The city council, at its adjourned
session Monday night, took up the re-
port Of the water works committee
relative to the proposed construction
of a 1OO,00O-g gallon elevated tank in
connection with the city water sup
ply plant, in an effort to overcome the
risks due to a direct pressure system
in cases of breakage of mains, and to
lessen the strain on the pumps by the
constant variation Of pressure. Def
mite action was deferred until the next
meeting, to be held in another week.
Chairman Clark and McMains, Of
the committee, signed the report. and
Devine and Psenicka, while not dis
senting, did not attach their signatures
because they did not consider them
selves sufficiently familiar with the
conditions to warrant any recommen-
dations on their part.
Superintendent of Mains Mack made
comprehensive report to the COM
lllllGe, WHICH, SHdll Nisl N PFC
sented to the council, and Hans Mad
sen, superintendent of the pumping
station, outlined to the council the
conditions.
The Holly system of direct pressure
is the one in vogue here, the same as
in nearly all other plants erected years
ago. Mr.. Madsen stated that at the
present time the pumpage at the water
works is as low at certain times as
$4,000 gallons an hour, and at other
periods of the same day reaches as
high as 100000 gallons an hour This
variation is due largely to the heavy
demands on the mains made by the
soldiers home, railroads and factories
that use immense quantities Of water.
When the variation comes the pres
sure is bound to drop, despite the gov
ernors on the pumps, and 1t will vary
just so much as the pumps are taxed
to furnish the supply for consump-
ton. This constant variation is hard
on the machinery, and causes wear
and tear that, in time, is going to tell
on the system. Mr. Madsen said that
with 100000 invested in pumps he
thought the expenditure for an elevated
tank might well be considered from a
business standpoint
Both Mr. Mack and Mr.. Madsen say
that an elevated tank will obvate the
difficulties that now arise from a direct
pressure system. 1t will allow the oper-
alton Of the pumps at a uniform speed,
and also save fuel in addition to the
wear and tear on the machinery. In
oF hrao1y IN, tho mains II
any time, when pumps have been
known to "run away" and practically
result in their ruin, the elevated tank
would act as safety valve, and pre-
vent any such condition resulting.

Have Bo0kmarks
of Many Kinds

Thoughtless and careless persons
who are borrowers OF books from the
public library, have given to that in
marks, the like of which cannot be
duplicated in the city. This collection
is constantly being added to. and be-
ing changed as other boolmarks are
added to it, while others are returned
to their owners.
After each borrowed book Is re-
turned to the library, it is shaken be-
fore being placed on the shelves, and
from between the leaves OF many some
curious articles, used for bookmarks,
have dropped out. The list includes
handkerchiefs, eye glasses, knives. let
tiers and post cards in great num-
bers, photographs. pieces of lace, turn
overs" pledge and Sunday school
cards, matches, and even scissors. AS
the borrowers card is removed from
the book as soon as the book is re-
turned and before 1t is searched for
articles left in It, 1t becomes impossible
to tell to whom the articles belong
except in cases where they bear marks
to SO indicate. in the case Of letters
and post cards they are, Of course,
easily returned. But the collection Of
unmarked and unreturnable articles is
gradually growing. The library has a
great assortment of handkerchiefs Of
all kinds.

ward buildings has a faculty for
marking her place with letters. and
then forgetting the letters. The IL
brary returns to her regularly small
packets Of these forgotten letters.

Don't Dump on the Market.

Some say they won't hold their cot ton any more. If enough say that and act we will see cotton sell for i've or six cents, the old price received before farmers began to do business like oth- CT business people. This is the year to hold. The reason that cotton has run down now Is because they think the farmers are going to dump again this year, but just as soon as they see that you intend to hold for just price, cotton will go up. If we farm CTS had the nerve that the bankers had last fall, bulk our cotton and issue script, say $3O to $50 per bale for twelve months bearing interest, you would soon see where the price would go. Now, we can do that, but will we? You know the bankers met and put whatever kind of paper they had up with a committee as collateral and then issued a certain per cent of scrip on that collateral and you know there is no security as good as cotton in sured in a warehouse.
 The Burnet (Tex.) Bulletin editor says that people want to pay high for what they get, which is one way of keeping money in circulation. He says: "The average man on given occasions acts curiously. Let cattle go out of sight and almost every man will not only decline to sell, but will bend his energies to buy more. Let sheep reach the top notch and every man who can run sheep not only keeps what he has, but buys more. Let horses sell for twice what they are worth and every man in the community becomes horse dealer. Let hogs go up and everybody wants hogs. Cotton at 12c looks too good to go, while at Sc the market is glutted with the staple. Several years ago when land could be bought for a song nobody wanted it, but today with the price almost prohibitive the coun. try is land mad"
