and bills falling due. The sale is be-
ing put on and managed by ]. S.
Langhorne of the Consolidated Sal
wage Co. of Chicago Mr.. Langhorne
says it is a big proposition to raise
$4,000 in ten days, but if plenty of
goods and thousands of genuine bar
gains will accomplish it, it will be
easily done. The Consolidated Sal
wage Co. are acknowledged kings of
merchandise, and the greatest bargain
givers known. The store is closed
today and everything will be in read
mess for the opening tomorrow Ma
turally many of the choicest bargains
will go first, and it will pay you to be
among the first Mr.. Langhorne
states that he very often is compelled
to close the doors in short time
after they open, so great is the rush.
Should you find the doors closed, you

THE AIRDoME u
A Large Crowd Was Present to En-
joy the Pictures, Music, Etc.

The Airdome was filled for the
first performance last night, and a
fairly good crowd saw the other sue
ceeding shows. The pictures were
exceptionally good. The vaudeville
was also very clever but could be i'm
proved by emitting some jokes that
were too rough for an Airdome audi
ence. However, the management
disclaim any blame for this, as these
are outside people, and they do not
know what is going to be said. Mr.
O'Connell says, however, the man.
agement is going to try to see that
it is not repeated.
The Airdome pictures are among
the best ever shown here, being
clean, clear, and handled by a good
operator through a good machine.

ten hundred dollars a mile the com
missioners took him up promptly and
contracted for several additional
miles. But while this work was go
ing on some of the commissioners got
to studying the matter, figuring the
cost, etc, with the result that when
the contractor asked for additional
contracts they said him nay. They
had seen a light, and decided to
build their own roads, and the county
now has something more than a hun
dred miles of good road, and most of
it has been built by the county di-
rect at an average cost of less than
one-fourth the cost under contract.
And that county is still building

SHORT SHOT HIM.
Hotel Proprietor Ragged Big Gator
on the Neches River.

Messrs. E. H. Short and NJ A.
Davey have just returned from Mr..
Davey's camp near the Neches river,
and give glowing accounts of Ander-
son county resources in the fish and
squirrel line. They brought back
with them the skin of an alligator
they killed that measures twelve feet
six inches. The above parties, to-
gether with Captain Synnot and G.
NJ Morley, were in a small boat on
Saline Lake when they ran into the
alligator hole. Mr.. Alligator, for a
while, threatened to make kindling
wood of the boat and its occupants,
but the contents of both barrels of a
shotgun in the hands of Mr.. Short
soon put him out of business. The
skin is on exhibition at the New Lin
dell Hotel today. Messrs. Short and
DaVey will go on another alligator
hunt in a few days and they both
say that if Teddy Roosevelt could
have seen the way this monster stir
red up the water he would have hunt
ed in Anderson county for a strenu-
Gus time, instead of Africa. For a
long time they did not know whether
they have the alligator or the alli-
gator had them, but the excitement
was fascinating, and they both de-
clare that fish and squirrel are no
longer attractive, and for real sport
they will only hunt alligators here
after.

DAILY DIET HINTS
By DIR. 7. j. ALLEN
Food Specialist.
FOODS WHICH AGREE TO-
GETHER.

Improper mixing of foods Is
common cause of dietetic trou-
bles. Certain classes of foods are
comparatively compatible, 9TH
ers the reverse. Naturally acid
fruits 90 well together-appIes,
peaches, lemons, oranges-but
it would be better to take lem
ons alone or apples alone for the
best effect. All cereals are COM
patible, and they are the nearest
to nuts, wheat being very SINH
lar in it's aIbumen and corn and
oats having also a small per
cent. of oil as the nut has
large percentage. Flesh foods
are compatible with each other.
Cereals and milk are fairly COM
patibIe, especially as the cereal
breaks UP the lndigestible case
In Into finer particles. Acid
fruits are not compatible with
milk or cereals or vegetables.
Each food requires special dlges-
tive action. The further they DIFF
fer, In time of digestion and in
chemical composition, the more
incompatible on this principle,
and turnips or potatoes or rad
ishes, or other sloW-digesting
vegetables are Incompatible with
prunes or dates.

Quite a deal of criticism is being
passed on ex-President Roosevelt for
what the critics are pleased to call
the wanton slaughter of monkeys in
South Africa The Herald is I'M
able to judge of the merits of the
case unless it knew more of the facts.
If the monkeys were killed just for
the purpose of Shooting monkeys"
then we, too, would say that it was a
wanton act below the dignity of the
big stick and without warrant from
the viewpoint of the true sportsman.
But there may be something more
behind the act. Roosevelt may have
heard news from over here that i'm
pressed him, impulsiye as he is, that
some monkeys needed killing, and as
typifying his ideas in the matter he
may have shot up a few of the long
tail species just to convey his idea
home. We have been watching the
proceedings at Washington, observ-
ing the tariff moves etc, and we
have been impressed with the idea
that a few monkeys need killing off
at least Let's not be
hard on Teddy until we know more
of his purpose.

We claim to be civilized people,
and measured by many others we are
the cream of the cream, but despite
our civilization thousands of men and
women live and die in this highly
civilized country and never get the
real viewpoint of life and its purpose.
To many people life means simply ac-
emulation or a fight on the bread
line to earn the means of living,
while to many women the whole
scheme of life is how to get a new
gown and a new hat or make the
old ones do another seasons work.
And all of this is about as far from
the real purpose of life as Palestine
is from being a bad town. Life is a
span of opportunities and privileges,
and some of these opportunities are
to get pleasure and satisfaction out
of the sunshine and air, and some of
the privileges are to do good unto
those around us: Life is an exist
ence and not task, as many make it.

is question whether the farmer
will let nitrogen impoverish him

any one conceive of any good reason
for buying at 20 cents per pound
what he can get for nothing-can
even get paid for taking? For the
legumes not only supply nitrogen,
they make the finest feed for all
sorts of stock; and if one third The
land planted in cotton were each
year devoted to leguminous crops, in
five years there would not only be
more bales of cotton made at much
smaller cost per bale, but there
would also be more and better live
stock in the South, better crops Of
all kinds, fewer bills to pay for feed
and supplies" more money coming
in and less going out, rich farmers
and more prosperous country.

CUTICURA SOON CURED
HIS FEARFUL ECZEMA

"About a year ago an itching humor
began to appear around the back of my
hand. It started in to spread and
pretty soon it covered both my hands
ard got up over my wrists and even
up to the elbows. The itching and
burning were terrible. My hands got
all scaIy and when I scratched, as l
was doing good part Of the time, the
surface would be covered with blisters
and then get raw. The eczema got so
bad in around the pit Of my thumbs
that I could not move the thumbsa
without deep cracks appearing: went
to my doctor, but his medicine could
only stop the itching and did not seem
to heal my hands up at all. At night
I suffered so fearfully that could not
sleep, often lying awake until well toward
morning, then waking up still tired;
I am chef and steward by trade and
l had to give up my place, as my hands
were 80 terrible to look at thay they
did not like to have me around about
them with water, but when l positively
had to get my hands clean would rub
them with oil.
This sort Of business went on for
three months and I kept trying zinc
and tar ointments and such remedies
with no particular benefit. / did not
know what to do, for I was fairly worn
out. For long time several friends
kept asking me why / didn't use Cuti-
cura and at last I thought I would.
First / got the Cuticura Soap, then
Cuticura Ointment and at last Cuticura
Resolvent. I put the Cuticura ,Oint-
ment on at night, covering my hands
with light cotton gloves. In the morn
ing the inside Of the gloves would be
lined with scales, sometimes half as
long as your finger, leaving nice heaied
places where the scales had been. In
month I was cured and have kept so
now for nine months. My hands and
arms are perfectly clear of all traces Of
eczema and I think I am we'll rid Of it..
