had a talk with the school
children, explaining to them
the wonders of plant growth,
and the Importance to them of
a knowledge of plant life both
as an educational training and
for it's practical benefits. He
thought it should be a part of
the educational system of our
public schools.
At the meeting in the after
noon, at 3 o'clock, Mr.. Barrow
spoke of the Importance of the
organization of a fair associa-
ton, and urged upon them the
necessity of using every effort
for the organization and mainte-
nance of such an association.
At 8 o'clock in the evening
DR.. Dodson lectured to a lagre
audience of ladies and gentle
men, citizens Of Abita and the
surrounding country. DR.. Dod-
son used moving pictures to il
lustrate his lecture, and Incl
dentlally explained to audience
its mechanism and manner of
working. Everybody was very
much pleased with the lecture
and some lessons were learned
that may bear fruit in better
agricultural methods.

In the case of Percy S. Ba-
relli VS.. Louis Wehrli, which
was taken to the Supreme Court
on appeal from a decision of
Judge Burns in the Twenty
sixth Judicial District Court,
the decision of Judge Burns was
sustained. The Court had the
following to say in the matter:
Where both parties intended
that a building contract should
be in writing, and the contractor
submitted plans and specifca-
tons, accompanied by a formal
contract in writing signed by
himself, and to be signed by
the owner. and also bv someone
as surety for the contractor, and |
the owner never signed the
instrument: held, that the con-
tract was inchoate and incom-
plete, and that either party had
the right to recant before the
instrument was executed.
Judgment affirmed.

quiry when the California Railroad
Commission meets tomorrow to re-
sumo its hearing of the 1000 cases
of rebating charged against the
Southern Pacific railroad.
In the opinion of COMMISSIONS
Summerland of Los Angeles, the
hearing will occupy much time.
There will be much evidence" he
said, 'and many witnesses, post
ponements and delays, and several
lawyers representing the different
parties. | think the investigation
may take months. But, knowing that
this investigation is to be made
every individual in the state who hat
any evidence to offer or any kick to
make should come forward or be
sit as board of judgment. The
Traffic Association and dissatisfied
shippers should present their char
ges; the railroad should make an
swer."
I'VE will contend that there has
been no discrimination against any
shipper" said Peter Dunno, attorney
for the road. "All the refunding
which has been done has been on, ac-
count of competitive or local condi-
lions, and each shipper has enjoyed
the same privilege in the matter.
We have offered every facility to the
railroad commission in examining
our books and records, and we are
ready now to proceed with the hear

RULES FOR GOOD DIGESTION.
A Simple Way to Prevent and Cure
Stomach Trouble,

The sufferer from indigestion and
stomach weakness should eat slowly
and chew the food thoroughly
But as the majority of people have
already so abused the delicate stom-
ach that they suffer with distress af-
ter eating. flatulence, headaches,
coated tongue, spots before the eyes
and the many other symptoms of in
digestion, it is necessary for them to
use Mona, the only remedy that
will strengthen the muscular walls
of the stomach and increase the flow
of gastric juices so that Indigestion
will be cured.
Mi-o-na puts the whole digestive
system in such shape that it can
care for all the food that is eaten
without pain or distress.
Hood & Curtin give an absolute
guarantee with every so cent box to
refund the money unless Mi-o-na
does all that is claimed for it. A
guarantee like this must inspire
your confidence in the remedy. 2SS

Resolutions of Respect.

To the officers and Members of
Camp Winnie Davis:
Your committee appointed to
draft resolutions on the death of
Comrade VIM. Schuster submit the
following: "Comrade Schuster was
born at Saxony, Germany, Janu-
airy Goth, 1874, and soon after reach
ing his majority emigrated to the
United States. 1t was one of the
committees pleasure to know Com
rade Schuster from his early man
hood and for many years closely as
ISOLATED with him in business, and in
all his dealings he possessed that
noble spirit that characterized him
through life. He enlisted in the Con-
federate army in 1865, joining Com
pany G, twenty-fourth and twenty
fifth regiment, consolidated, Walkers
Division Was married at Brennan,
Texas, and as a result of this mar
riage he leaves two sons and one
daughter, Carl and William Schust-
er and Mrs. c. w. Walters, all OF
this city His wife, the bosom COM
panion of his life, departed this life
April 9Th, 1882, in this city He
died February 7th, 1908. A good
man has passed away. Comrade
Schuster is dead. Only at our last
meeting we placed upon him the
mantle of chaplain for our camp
Worthily would he have worn it but
the Master called and he obeyed the
summons. The camp has lost one of
its most regular and devoted mem
bers, the Presbyterian church one of
it's most true and faithful members
and the community one of the most
useful citizens. He was the main
stay of his church to which he was
so devoted that the membership
looked to him for council and guild
ance. His love and fidelity to the
Lost Cause" and this camp will
keep fresh and green in the hearts
of his comrades, he was kind and
gentle as woman, quiet in all the
walks of life, he loved his friends
and neighbors, he loved and was de-
voted to his family in whose great
loss, this camp smypathizes deeply,
but he has gone to his fathers
house. May that father lead him
gently through the meadow valley
where the river flows in sweet song
Eternal, is the prayer of your COM
mittee."

COLORS AND PRESERVATikE rs.
Confcctioners and Bottlers Said to
Be Using Illegal Articles.

BE Using Illegal Articles.
We have been making an eXami-
nation of the colors used by confec-
TONERS, bottlers and meat markets
and have found that practically all
the colors in use in Texas are of the
coal tar type and are therefore ilIe-
gal. There are only seven coal tar
colors prepared especially for use in
food products and are admitted
harmless by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture; namely:
Red shades :Amaranth, Ponceau
3R, Erythrosin. Orange shade: Or
ange /. Yellow shade; Napthol Vel
low S. Green shade: Light green S.
F. Yellowish. Blue shade: Indigo di-
sulphoacid.
We respectfully advise that those
dealers who desire to use coal-tar
colors buy those named above but do
not buy colors from any manufact-
urer or jobber until he has filed
an affidavit with the United States
Department of Agriculture or with
US, that the color he is selling is one
of mixture of those named above.
The phrase Guaranteed under the
Food and Drug Act of June 80,
1906" does not cover the affidavit
mentioned above 1t is of no value
as it simply means that the article
in question is guaranteed unadulter
ated Bismark Brown has been sold
under such a guarantee to packing
companies, Notwithstanding the fact
that it is a poisonous color and
therefore illegal.
BY purchasing colors from those
who have made the affidavit men
toned above that they are the
above colors you may be exempt
from the operation of the law in
case such colors turn out to be
harmful OF course if you do not
mind taking chances it will not be
necessary to comply with our sug
gestion
The attention of meat dealers is
respectfully called to the fact that
there are many illegal preserva-
tives on the markets sold under
various trade names.
When in doubt as to the legality
of any color or preservative or any
other article used in the manufacture
of food products, dealers are respect
fully invited to confer with this de-
partment.
Yours respectfully,
J. S. Abbott,
Dairy and Food Commissioner of
Texas.

To have the pains and aches Of a

that has been a constant source Of
suffering to me for the past twenty
years. 1t was one of those dull throb-

though I tried to rid of it was not
successful. My husband got Doans
Kidney Pills for me at a drug store
and their use not only cured the
backache but corrected the irregular
action of the kidneys which had
caused me a great deal of uneasi-

this remedy which proves it to be all
