SHE LOST TT Sallow Complexion Went Glimmering.

What is more natural than that a ion?
 There is one sure way to secure and maintain a good skin if nature has been even a little kind on the start.
 Proper food, deep breathing, pure air; and one must absolutely avoid coffee and tea. as these beverages ul timately produce a bilious, sallow skin. Anything that causes dyspepsia or indigestion, or interferes with the liver prevents the nutrition necessary for making good blood and 3 fair complexion.

Signs Gambardclla and Local Artists
 Participate.

4 small but appreciative audience enjoyed good program we'll rendered at the Y. M. c. A. concert given in the Foy auditorium last evening. Promin- ent among the artists who appeared was Signor Gambardela, Miss Walker and Miss Pearl Young.
 Signor Gombardella is a young man of whom great things may be expected He has voice of great fiexibility and beauty coupled with an unusually fine dramatic instinct. It Is a rare pleas ure to listen to him
 Miss Walker is young singer of whom serious notice will have to be taken in the near future. Her artistic equipment is of the very best quality and she sings with great refinement of feeling, conviction and good Judgment. Miss Pearl Young has a voice of great promise, as yet somewhat ham pered by a disturbing tremolo. but a few more years of conscientious work will eliminate that and then her road to fame will be comparatively smooth The Nevin quartet sang well and re- ceived generous applause.

Washington's busiest man in the sum

tondent OF the Capitol building and

a conservative estimate, thirteen jobs.
When he wakes up in the morning.
he sits up in bed and checks of on his

he must map out ard provide for all

ACTION OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
HEARTILY ENDORSED.

There has been a great deal OF dis
cussion lately in regard TO danger in
case of fire OF some of the public
buildings in Bryan. AT a recent meet
ing OF the firemen the matter was
discussed and Mr. c. Il. Jenkins, sec
rotary Of the firemen reported that
the school buildings had ample fire
escape, there being no possible
chance of danger at either the east
or west side school. but owing TO the
fact that the opera house had but
one exit he deemed It advisable 70
petition the council for additional ex-
it's. The result was that a committee
was appointed TO take the matter up
at once. Following is result Of the
work:
We, the undersigned citizens of
Bryan. heartily endorse the action of
the Bryan Fire Department in their
erdeavor TO have the city council pro-
vide proper and additional exits to the
opera house. We conider this move
imperative and ask the city council
to take immediate action:

GOLF CLUB OPENING.

As previously announced the Golf
Club is to be formally opened this
afternoon. Tom Mcnamara, pro-
fessional from Boston, but wintering
at Houston, is to be with the club,
and will probably be accompanied by
three other Houston payers. This
will enable Bryan TO see a match
game OF golf by the best golfers in
Texas
The grounds will OF course be open
to everyone, and no doubt quite a
crowd will be out at $3.50 TO see the
Start around the links. Interest in
golf is growing and il is a matter OF
qualification to know that Bryan
stands with Dallas. Fort Worth Hous-
ton. San Antonio. Austin, Galveston
and FL Paso in this respect, as those
are the only cities in Texas with golf
clubs.
