Please permit us to use your col
umns to express to the friends of
our dear son and brother, w. j.
Patton, our sincere thanks for the
many acts of kindness shown him
in his recent illness and for the
many tokens of love and esteem CIV
en- since his death. We appreciate
beyond measure the faithful care
and close companion the fraternal
attention of the two lodges of which
he was member, and the sympa-
thetic interest of personal friends.
Such administrations have helped us
to bear with greater fortitude the
deep grief that has been in our
hearts

the infantry will. some of them,
have to hike" 200 miles. The men
will be trained in all of the essen
tials of warfare. Numerous sham
battles will be fought, breast works
thrown up, bridges built, and other
details of the soldiers duty enforc-
ed. Leon Springs has the finest of
target ranges and constant target
practice will be feature of the
maneuvers.
The Leon Springs reservation
was purchased only little over a
year ago, and is one of the largest
and best of it's kind in the United
States. 1t consists of $4,000 acres of
mountains and valleys, prettily
wooded and Astounding in running
streams and springs. The mountains
though not tall are steep and shay
gy and are covered with mountain
laurel, kinnikinik, cat's-claw, and
many varieties of oak. The numer-
GUS canyons and deep ravines fur
nish all the elements of uncertainty
for surprises and ambuscades, and
will lend interest to the maneuvers
Already preparations are being
begun. New wells are being drilled,
a large bakery built, and store-hous-
es for quartermaster' supplies.
Every sanitary precaution will be
taken to make this a model camp
The weather in the mountains in
October is invariably crisp and sun
ny and bracing, SO the men will have
perfect conditions for their ardu-
Gus training. 1t is expected that the
military pageant will attract many
sight-seers and prove an interesting
spectacle. 8
The Leon Springs mobilization
will be followed by extensive man
euvers at Manassas, where the reg
ular and militia of the eastern
states will gather. These maneuv-
ers are to carry out a definite poll
cy of military training for the cOun-
try, which will probably be follow
ed up and developed Systematically.

CATARRH A GERM DISEASE.
Success of Hyomei Guaranteed by
Hood & Curtin.

Catarrh is not blood disease,
but is caused by germs that lodge
and grow in the air passages, caus-
ing irritation with poisonous and
offensive mucous discharges. 1t is an
insidious disease of most destructive
tendency. It's approaches are I'M
alarming, and its victims are we'll
on the road to a chronic state or to
dread consumption before they real
ize their danger.
Stomach dosing is ineffective in
the treatment of catarrh. The only
healing agent is Hyomei, which is in
hailed with the air you breathe, kill
ing all catarrhal germs and driving
them from the system.
The sooner you use Hyomei the
sooner you will be free of catarrh
Hood & Curtin will sell you a dollar
outfit with the understanding that
if it does not give satisfaction your
money will be refunded 263

The following prophetic words fell
from the lips of Henry Grady and
they are directly in line with the
movement that is being urged by
the newspapers of the entire south :
When every farmer in the south
shall eat bread from his own fields
and meat from his own pas
lures, and, disturbed by no creditor
and enslaved by no debts, shall sit
amid his teeming gardens and or
chards and vineyards, and diaries,
and barn yards, pitching his crops
in his own wisdom, and growing
them in independence, making cot
ton his clean surplus, and selling it
in his own time, and in his chosen
market, and not at masters bid
ding-getting his pay in cash, and
not in a receipted mortgage that
discharges his debt but does not re-
store his freedom-then shall be
breaking the fullness of our day"

Alice Thaw was granted a divorce

calls for newspaper comment. This
prostitution of American womanhood
for title, tears and divorce court

SAYS DOCTORS MUST REPORT.
Brumby May Act in Cases of Deaths
Not Stated.


Austin, Texas, Feb. cit was
learned that the names of a number
of physicians of Austin have been
placed in the hands of the county at
torney of Travis county and that
those physicians may be called to ac-
count for failure to comply with the
health regulations prescribed by
law. 1t is claimed that some of the
physicians of Travis county have
been derelict in their duty in report
ing deaths to the state health Of
ficer, The law requires that all
physicians make these reports show
ing every death that occurs where
the patient has been under their
care. The penalty for failure to
! comply with this law is a fine of
from IS to $50. During the month
of December there were but three
deaths reported to the state health
officer from Travis county. News
paper reports show there were from
forty to fifty deaths in Travis coun-
ty during the month of December.
For several months physicians all
| over the state have been urged to
make these reports. State Health
Officer Brumby is determined to Sc
cure these reports and prosecutions
may be started in other parts of

pending proposition: There are
some who are under the impression
that the expression now being called
for by the prohibitionists is fiat de-
cision for or against prohibition in
Texas. III this they are mistaken.
The demand is merely that the legis-
lature submit the matter to the peo-
pie in the form of constitutional
amendment, thus giving the people
chance to vote on it. Under the
present policy of the democratic par
ty it would appear to be wholly out
OF order to deny to the people this
privilege; and the News is impress
ed with the belief that it might even
be claimed directly under the pres
ent election law, if properly applied
for, without limiting the application
to members of the legislature"
