PORTLAND, MAINE, CHILD
III, Weak and Emaoiated, Re-

stored to Health by Vinol
Our little daughter, six years Of age,
after a severe attack of the measles,
which developed into pneumonia, was
left pitifully thin, weak and emaciat-
ed. She had no appetite, and her stom-
ach was so weak it could not retain
food. She lay in this condition for
weeks, and nothing the doctor pre-
scribed did bit of good, and we were
beginning to think she would never re-
cover.
"At this time we commenced to give
her Vinol, and the effect was marvel
Gus. The doctor was amazed at her
progress. and when we told him we
were giving her Vinol, he replied, 1T
Is fine remedy, keep it up We did
80, and she recovered her health and
strength months before the doctor
thought she could" J. w. Flagg,
Portland, Me.
Vinol cures conditions like this be-
cause In natural manner it increases
the appetite, tones up the digestive
organs. makes rich, red blood, and
strengthens every organ in the body.

that Isabel is destined to be a very
great and salubrious place. It is re
markable for its pleasures in both
summer and winter.
It is unostenstatious and does not
seem to know its importance. The
tourists who chance to visit this point
are struck at once with surprise at
the varied facilities here for enjoy
ment. The weather is ideal The
sports are unexcelled for the gunner
and it is veritable paradise for the
anglers. Isabel has one of the best

ALFALFA IN THE LOWER
RIO GRANDE VALLEY
Fine Results With Wealth Producing
Forage Crop ON This AIIuviaI
Soil.

F. A. Briggs, stan correspondent for
the Galveston News in a recent article
on the Lower Rio Grande Valley has
the following to say in regard to al
/ falfa:
Next to sugar cane, alfalfa will be
a leading crop in this Valley. At the
present time there is a larger acreage
of alfalfa than there is of sugar, and
several farmers are devoting their en-
tire acreage to that crop.
Alfalfa is not new product, but
the abundance of its yield in this Val
ley astonishes every yerson who has
either grown it or seen it grown in
other parts of the country. Cutting
alfalfa three times in one season is
considered most remarkable in other
alfalfa districts. Here it is cut from
eight to nine times per year, yielding
each cutting an average of one ton
per acre, in many instances much
more, after it is baled. The present
demand in this valley is greater than
the supply. Nine tons per acre, a
seasons yield, at SIS per ton on the
farm, gives to the grower a return of
S135 with no work to do except cut it
and bale it after the first year.
"A new settler from Indiana re-
Gently purchased an eighty-acre farm
which he is now preparing for alfal-
IA He win put the entire tract in
alfalfa and expects to clear from
$4,000 to $4,000 per annum after he
gets q good stand. Could a good in
come be derived with less worry and
labor?
The danger of Cutting the mar
ket with alfalfa is so remote that it
should cause no worry. The great
hay markets o fthe United States
never saw alfalfa. The present supply
hardly reaches 100 miles from where
it is grown. Hay buyers in New
York are yet to be made familiar
with its wonderful food qualities. and
as the territory in which the grass
will thrive is limited, it is hardly
possible that prices will ever go much
lower than the present levels"

But Bunsen started in to make fun

AS no RURAL HONIEsTEADs.
Supreme Court OF Texas Hands Down
Decision of Wide Interest.

Under date OF Dec. >, press dis
patches from Austin, Texas, report
the following as part of the proceed
ing of the supreme court of this
State:
The court granted a rehearing and
reversed and Temanded the case of
Autry ct al VS.. Reason ct al and an
inundated an important doctrine in
the matter of rural homestead exemp-
ton or definition. The court decided
the case differently last term, but
now reverses itself and says:
ANY expressions in our former
opinion TO the contrary are with
drawn"
The court holds that land rented in
the country for shares does not bring
that land in the category of a home
stead, even though the owner hauls
his share from the field. After quot
ing section so, article xvi. Constitu-
ton, defining rural homestead, the
court says:
1T is clear. therefore. we think
before a homestead can be claimed
upon land it must be used for some
one purpose of a home, either by cul-
tiyating it. using it directly for the
purpose of raising family supplies or
for cutting firewood and such like"
Continuing:
In the case of Blum vs.. Rogers We
held that the building of a house
within a town on a certain lot and
renting it deprives it of its homestead
character We see no reason why
the same rule should not apply to a
rural homestead
Then follows the withdrawal OF
any former contradictory view.

CLUSTERS LAST FIGHT" OPENS
STRONG AT THE COLUMBIA

With powder playing the heavy part.
Clusters Last Fight" opened the sea
son at the Columbia Theatre last night.
This is one of Hal Reds strong melo-
dramatic productions, and from the rise
of the. curtain until the home, sweet
home scene at the end. there is not a
still moment. The play has n swing
and dash through its four acts and ten
scenes thai is only equaled by Buffalo
Bits ride on Betsey Baker through Red
Canyon on his way to carry aid to Gen
eral Custer.
Especially c~ommendable were the
portrayals of Buffalo Bill by John F..
Mackin, of General George Custer by
Olaf Kavlan. Bounding Elk by Richard
Ogden. Dove Eye by Margaret Nelson,
Crystal by Lottie %Smithand, n Louise
Ramsey by Genevieve Farmare.
The play tells a story of military and
frontier life, with the usual thread of
love interviewer. The scenic and light
ing effects are excellent. History is
followed accurately, n realism is
brought into the scenes by both ex-
cellent acting and settings.
The staff of the theatre remains about
the same this season as last. Morris
