A roll of silk is then placed in

as the silk passes up through the

OLD FORT SAN HOUSTON.

When the War Department issued
the order for the mobilization of
troops near the Mexican boundary San
Antonio and Fort Sam Houston achiev-
ed new fame over night, says the
Coming Country.
In Fort Sam Houston, the second
largest Army post in America, San
Antonio has one OF the show places
Of the Army. The reservation is beau
tifully situated in the suburbs of the
city, and aside from its military in
terest it's immense area and scenic
beauty make it attractive to visit.
From a post of 300 acres Fort Sam
Houston has been enlarged until it
now comprises some 944 acres of
ground. The buildings and improve
ments represent an expenditure OF
nearly 100000. The fort occupies
a peculiarly strategic position. 1t is but
a short distance from the Gulf and on
railroad lines leading north, south
east and west. 1t is close to the Mex
lean boundary line, so that troops car
be moved rapidly to the border, should
the occasion demand.
In addition to Fort Sam Houston
the government owns some $4,000
acres, the Leon Springs Reservation

ArLANrA,s ANNUAL EGG HUNT

ATLANTA'S ANNUAL EGG HUNT.
The annual egg hunt at Atlanta, Ga,
is a unique celebration, instituted by
the authorities of that city several
years ago for the delectation of its
juvenile population. On the Saturday
before Easter, Grant Psrk, one of the
oity's most popular breathing places,
is closed to the public and in the
shrubbery and grass are hidden some
10000 or $4,000 candy eggs, one of
which is gilded.
At noon on Easter day, when the
band strikes up "Dixie" the throngs
of waiting youngsters are admitted
and the hunt for the eggs begins. The
fortunate finder of the gilded egg is
presented by the city with a goat,
harness and wagon as a prize. The
eagerness with which the children
prosecute their search is a source of
infinite amusement to their grownup
guardians who accompany them and
there is a concerted rush for drink
ing fountains and refreshment stands

Honest Medicine Versus Fakes.

President Tafi's recent message sug
costing an amendment tc the Pure
Food and Drugs law IN its relation to
Prepared Medicines, does not refer to
such standard medicines as Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound and Foley
Kidney Pills, both of which are true
medicines carefully compounded of
ingredients whose medicinal qualities
are recognized by the medical profess
sion itself as the best known remedial
agents for the diseases they are in
tended to counteract. For over three
decades Foley's Honey and Tar Com
pound has been a standard remedy
for coughs, colds and affections Of
the throat, chest and lungs for chill
dren and for grown persons, and it
retains to day its pre-eminence above
all other preparations of its kind
Foley Kidney Pills are equally effec-
