Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they do
not grippe. they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in q way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really q sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes cloeged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
] had my way would prohibit the sale
OF nine-tenths OF the cathartlcs that afe

soon destroy the lining of the stomach.
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are q tonic
to the stomach. liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich tho blood instead of impoverish
It: they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel. no
dope; they are soothing. healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels

San Antonio, Where American Troops
Concentrated, Former Home Of
One Of Most Picturesque From
tiersmen Of Nation.

The center of interest in America
today Is historic old San Antonio.
which is the point Of concentration for
the bulk of troops that have gathered
in Texas to be utilized in the present
emergency. Just beyond Fort Sam
Houston, which may be termed the
citadel Of San Antonio, is a grass GOV.
cred plain. 500 acres in extent, where
the great camp is situated. The
troops are massed by regiments, which
are encamped in squads. all facing in
the direction of Gen. Carter's head
quarters, which are located on top OF
a little hill that is the only elevation
to break the monotony of the land
scape.
The interesting city of San Antonio
consists Of three parts: the old town.
or San Antonio proper. between the
San Pedro and the San Antonio riv-
ers: chihuahua, west of the San
Pedro; and Alamo. east Of the San
Antonio. The old town Is the busi-
ness quarter and has in great part
lost its Mexican character. having
been almost entirely rebuilt since
1860. chihuahua Is almost exclusively
Mexican In character and population.
The houses are one story high. built
partly Of stone and partly Of upright
logs with cane roofs. Alamo is the
largest quarter of the city. Is consid.
erably larger than the other two and
is mostly inhabited by Germans.
In the north part Is the Alamo
plaza. with the fort of that name
which. g. years ago. was the scene OF
a savage and sanguinary encounter
between a small company Of Texans
and Americans. and a greatly superior
force Of Mexicans. which resulted in
the capture Of tho fort and the mas

Personally l am not much of an
admirer Of carpet or ribbon bedding
or the designs" which the enthusi-
astic amateur gardener frequently at
tempts, but is pretty sure to abandon
later in the season, because he discov-
ers that designs work out unsatts-
factortly in ANNALS.
The fact is. carpet bedding plants
are only effective when certain kinds
of foliage plants are used because
they can be kept within their proper
limits by shearing and pruning. while
the ANNALS have too much Sprawl
to be tractable and very few kinds
give a sufficient mass Of bloom to
produce the desired effect.
We are likely to think that because
a plant has yellow. red or blue flow
ers. that 1t will prove effective wher-
ever these colors are desired. but we
lose sight Of the fact that the flow
ers will be SO few In number and SO
far apart that there is seldom any
solid color effect such as Is necessary
in properly working out patterns.
This being the case. only the sim.
pier designs should be attempted with

II is not advisable to put axle
grease on fruit trees in order to pre-
vent rabbits and rodents from gnaw-
ing them. A little grease might not
do any damage. while too much might
injure the trees. Where the climate
permits some green crop. such as
oats. rye or wheat. will tempt the
rabbits. The trees can also be pro-
tected by wrapping them with old

Taste for Poetry.
From Current Literature.

From Current Literature.
Il have no patience" said the Dean
of Salisbury in a recent address, with
people who SYSTEMATICALLY say they do
not care for poetry, for they say they
do not care for some OF the ~loftiest
products of the human mind If you
have not, at present, liking for poetry
added the dean, then make one
But how? Choose poet who is gen.
orally acknowledged to be a true poet,
the speaker went on to say, and then
every. day. even If it be but for five
minutes, read a page carefully, noting
every suggestive word and visuahzns
every scene" The important word in
that advice is the word carefully"
Poetry must. be read carefully or it were
better unread. Its beauties should be
looked for, for the subtlest and sweetest
beauties are not those that hit you in
the eye. Read carefully and read hon.
estly. Don't, for heavens sake, make
any pretense of enjoying something you
do not enjoy or of seeing beauty that
you do not see. Better far never read
a line than to do that But hunt for
something that really appeals to you and
when YOU find it tie it to you and make
it yours. if it is nothing more than a
happy phrase. You will be surprised to
find how quickly you will grow adept in
the search for sdch beauties, even as a
schoolgirl grows adept in the search for
four-leaf cloyers or an archeolo2ist in the
search for flint arrowheads.

Sunday it was stated that along with
the dread of diphtheria and the bubonic
plague and having your children sold into

it lies within the memory of any man or

tol and 1st streets. the broker found a
house which his customer agreed an
swered her every requirement.
A deposit was asked for and gwen. the
title papers were prepared and everything
was ready for the formal transfer of the
property when the customer, in reading
over the documents preparatory to plac-
ing her signature upon them, discovered
that the lot upon which her prospective
home was built was numbered III. and,
horror of horrors, the actual house num-
Der. 81" when added, equaled 13. Rarely
has a real estate transaction terminated
so quickly as did that one. The customer
threatened to have Mysteries. Then she
fled. nor could she be persuaded for sew
eral days to look at other houses any
where. There We're several dwellings, in
the same row which were built after the
same plan, but all of them had been sold.
and ultimately the woman was prevailed
upon to buy for the same price a house
sirable. but '13'' was conspicuous by its
absence from the numerical equipment Of
the home.
In the category of unluclsy houses 1918
18th street is in a class alone. Every
broker knows that this unfortunately
numbered house is hoodoo 1t cannot
be sold and it cannot be rented. and on
the few occasions when stOically in
clined tenants have been found for the
premises, it usually develops that the oc-
Some Houses Bear Names.
Other houses, in other streets, bear IL
as a terminal number, and scores of in
stances could be cited where the .13'
has given way to ILL., when the unpop-
ular figure proved too much for the SUI
perStitions of the owners or the occu-
pants. Still other dwellings, though
properly numbered .'13," have been sep
arated altogether from their numbers and
given names instead.
In direct contrast to the superstition
which prevents many persons from maxi
ing investments in real estate in which
'13' enters into the numbering scheme is
the attitude of we'll known local mer-
chant toward property of this character.
He has prediction for the hoodoo
numeral. and whenever he considers an
investment in real estate he is never SO
we'll pleased as when he finds that the
lot or house he is about to purchase car
ries this figure. For example, his resi-
dence is numbered 1913, and he owns sew
eral pieces of property in the 1860 blocks
in different streets. In his business he
seems to have the greatest success with
special sales in which the bargains Of
fered carry the price of "13" IN either
dollars or cents.
