ACHES AND DIZZINESS.
A MICHIGAN MAN TELLS HOW
DIR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS
CURED HIS INDIGESTION IN
THE ONLY RATIONAL WAY.

The symptoms of stomach trouble
vary. Some victims have a raven
Gus appetite, some loathe the sight
of food. often there Is a seling of
weight on the chest, full feeling in
the throat. Sometimes the gas
presses on the heart and leads the
sufferer to think he has heart di-
sease. Sick headache is a frequent
and distressing symptom.
Experience shows. that thase
troubles vanish Just as soon as the
stomach is made strong enough to
digest the food. In other words, II
needs tonic that will rouse IL to
do the work of changing the food
into nourishment.
A very delicate stomach requires
easily digested food bot nature
never intended that the food should
be digested before It is eaten. The
stomach must be strengthened to
perform It's own work and what II
needs is not food already digested
but a tonic. The processes of di-
gestion are controlled by the blood
and nerves, and medical science
has produced no better digestive
tonic than DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. A. ]. Higley. whose farm is
near Cassopolis, Mich. and whose
mail address is r. +. u. No. I. that
city, was cured by these pills. He
says:

with a weak stomach, Il became so

When will Brownsville become
progressive enough to establish fire
limits, and COMPEL persons who con-
template building to secure a permit,
and show exactly the kind of build
ing they will erect? Brownsville is
far behind most towns of its size in
this matter The erection of frame
buildings should be absolutely pro-
hibited within the fire limits, and ev-
cry precaution taken to prevent any
thing that would constitute a fire
risk from being built within such
limits. The present disregard for
such precautions as are taken in ev-
cry town of any pretentions to mod
ern methods will result in increasing
the fire insurance charges in the
town. Will the city fathers wait un-
til a petition from the citizens has to
be presented to show them the neces-
sity for such action?

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. %. 1908.
WHATA BALE OF COTTON
WILL DO.

Some statistical genius has figured
cut what bale of cotton will ac-
complish after it has passed from
the hands of the farmer, and an
nounces that a bale OF cotton is cap
abe CT being manufactured into cl-
leo worth S200, rope 500, mercer
lied cotton worth $1.750. thread
worth $4,000, soft bosom shirts
worth $500, and yoking worth 49,
600. There are doubtless many
more valuable products that are
manufactured from a single bale of
cotton. 1t is truly wonderful how
much value is represented by single
bale of cotton, even before it passes
from the farmers hands. 1t has not
only paid the farmer profit of about
S25 dollars or more, but has fur
nished remunerative labor to many
hands, for the farmer has spent at
least $40 for the expense of planting,
cultivating, picking and hauling the
cotton to the gin, besides spending at
least So for ginning, bagging and
ties. The seed is also valuable, the
amount from a bale of cotton bring
ing about Sc in the raw state, and
producing not only considerable
amount of the most valuable oil, but
also seed cake for cattle feed and va
rious other products. First and last,
it would be difficult to calculate the
entire amount that the production of
a single bale of cotton represents,
counting the labor that produced
and handled the machinery that is
used in its production, and the
amount paid to railroads and steam
ships, to train hands and deck hands
and all of the many who must handle
it before it is finally manufactured.
And besides all these there is the
Wall street gambler who makes a
profit out of it, without, however,
having to handle the fieeey product.
