Famous Formula
y
and Why it Cures
Hoods Sarsaparilla is famous
throughout the world because it has
effected the largest number Of radical
and permanent cures.

2 It has done this not because it is Sar-

more than fourteen different remedial
agents, many of which are just what
the profession prescribes for troubles
of the blood, stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels. -
j But the combination and proportions
are peculiar to Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and this is why Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures when all other medicines fail.

END OF FISCAL YEAR.
All Appropriations VIII Become
Available Next Month.


Available Next Month.
Austin, Texas, July 28.-The pres
ent fiscal year, as far as the state
government is concerned, ends on
August 81, 1908, and with the begin
ming of the new year all apprOpria-
tions made by the thirtieth legisla-
ture for the second of the two years
will become available. Deficiencies
were created by several of the de-
partments and state institutions to
tide over the time until the new. ifs
cal year rolls around. The state
treasury will not find itself in bad
shape, so to speak, at the end of
this fiscal year, as there will be a
balance Of about 100000 to the
credit of the general revenue fund.
From the start the expenses OF
the state for the new fiscal year will
be exceedingly heavy. First will
come an expenditure of nearly ST.
100000 for the state purchasing
agents department to pay for the
supplies bought for the various
eleesmosynary institutions of the
state. Then the state will have to
pay for the additions made to sever
al of the state institutions, conse-
quently for the first few months Of
the new year the state treasurer will
be kept busy paying out big wads of
cash out of the vaults of the treas
ury.
With the end Of the present fiscal
year also comes the annual reports
of the various state departments and
state institutions. This year the re-
port of every department and state
institution will have to be printed, az
this is the year for the legislature to
meet. In off years only a few of the
reports are printed and the bulk of
them are made out and submitted to
the governor without printing, for
his consideration

TEXAS AS A TOBACCO STATE
Fine Grades of Sumatra Wrappers
and Cuban Filters Grown Here


Texas sends glad news to the
smokers of America, instead of
scarcity of wrappers and filters that
would make a good smoke too steep
for the average mans pocket book,
Texas is getting in line to furnish
the manufacturers the finest Suma
ira wrappers and Cuban filters, at
prices that minus freight and duties
will in a few years make ten cent
cigars five cents. and the ''two-fors'
no longer badge of dishonor. Gov
eminent experiments carried on on
an extensive scale for or 5 years
have demonstrated that Sumatra
wrappers and Cuban filters can be
raised here. Commercial utilization of
these experiments is now being made
on a large scale, and Texas is des-
tined to become in a few years the
greatest tobacco producing state in
the union
Speaking for these planters, John
r. Hearne, mayor of Palestine, one
of the largest of them, reports ex-
! cellent financial returns, and says
that after four years tobacco has be-
| come his most profitable crop. He
raises the Sumatra wrapper under
| shade. having II acres covered, u.s.
ing 10000 lineal feet of lumber for
this purpose. He averages 1900
pounds to the acre which sells for
| fifty cents a pound. The crop is ex-
pensive to handle, but he says yields
| net profit of $500 per acre The
Sumatra wrapper on account of it's
| extreme thinness and lightness is
| used exclusively as wrappers for ci-
| CARS, and is much sought after by
manufacturers, who pay fancy pri-
ces for it. The Texas Sumatra wrap
per is pronounced by experts to be
so nearly identical with the foreign
product that it is difficult to tell
(! them apart.
| Texas also produces fine cigar fill
| lers. This grade is much less expen-
sive to cultivate and yields about
$100 an acre to the grower The
Texas filler is very much like Cuban
tobacco. Formerly, indeed it was the
| custom of the Cuban planters to
come to Texas to get the seed of the
wild tobacco that grows so abundant
" IN hr
use 1t to cross fertilize it with the
cuban plants. A big syndicate sup
posed to be backed by the Tobacco
trust is raising tobacco in East
! Texas
In addition government expert
ments at Hallettsville in the San An
tonic territory show the same soil
and the same quality of tobacco. A
company composed chiefly of Chi
cago capitalists, and headed by c..
| l.. Pearce, now resident Of San An
tonic have acquired large holdings in
that neighborhood and will develop
| the tobacco industry.
/ Tobacco is also demonstrated
crop of the Rio Grande valley, where
the rich alluyial soil made by success
sive deposits Of silt in floods, gives a
| condition peculiarly adapted to
/ raising true Cuban tobacco. A big
| development is planned for that sec
| ton, and Texas holds out the glad
hope of a good smoke of the fifteen
cent variety at half the price.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
