FOOD FERMENTS
Causes Indigestion and Stomach Dis
tress.

Indigestion or any chronic stomach
trouble leads to loss of vigor and vi
tally; half the nervous wrecks in
America today can blame indigestion
for their condition.
Fermentation of food means that
your stomach is rundown; that your
food does not digest and that the
blood, not being supplied with nutri-
tious elements cannot supply the va
rious organs of the body with suffi-
cient nourishment.
That's why indigestion often causes
eye weakness, brain flag, palpitation
of the heart and inactive liver.

up your rundown stomach, will Danish

tenn in good condition If you will give

Pain and Sudden Death

In angina pectoris, agony spasm of
the heart, there are two chief features
pain and sudden death. The pain Is
coming and going, intense. peculiar,
strange, awful, usually in the chest
around the heart and spreading into
the shoulders and abdomen. Death,
which comes in a higher percentage
than in any other known disease, for
few ever get over it, is usually sudden,
often. as the poet says, life struck
sharp on DEATH" There are indeed in
this disease many mysteries remain

closed on Sundays. The movement
for closing the postoffice on Sundays
was started in New Orleans a few
weeks ago by the clerks, who claimed
that there was no necessity of their
working on the Sabbath, and the fu-
ture events proved that the community
was heartily in accord with the clerks.
The Picayune says:
Postmaster w. J. Behan stated
yesterday that thus far no opposition
had been made in this respect, and in
view of the fact that the postmaster
general had left the matter in the
hands of the various postmasters
throughout the country, he thought
that it would be a wise thing for him
to follow the example of Detroit and
order the office closed on Sundays.

Texas, the home of so many new things, has actually developed a freak legislator. The lawmaker and represen- tative of the people is so much out of the ordinary that he has announced he will not .yote for any measure he does not understand This is so unusual that his declaration has caused much comment It is believed, however, if this man can induce other members of the legislature to follow his example, that Texas will have fewer freak laws and more hopeful legislation. It is not considered a reflec- tion on the ability of members of the legislature when they say there are many laws passed at previous sessions which they do not understand. The fact is, the learned judges of the courts have been raeking their brains in an effort to un- derstand some of the laws passed, and have been compelled to confess that the intricacies. It is to get away some of the intricacies+ It is to get away from such legislation as this that has prompted the member to declare he will have to see clearly before he votes.

COTTON FIELDS MADE FROM CACTUS TH|CKET Irrigation Has Revolutionized Texas Cotton Farming NEW USE FOR MOTOR GAR Interurban Lines Used to Haul Truck From Farms to RalIroads-Texas
 Claims the Only Freak
 Legislator
NEW USE FOR MOTOR GAR

San Antonio, Tex, February 6.-(Spe- cial )-From a mesquite and cactus thick ct to irrigated cotton fields in a period of three years is the record made in ~the lower Rio Grande valley. This year that section of the state will have more than l., 5,000 acres In irrigated cotton. Just now farmers and truck growers in that region are shipping hundreds of carloads of cab bage, the crop being the largest ever grown in that section. As fast as the cabbage is removed the ground is pre- pared for cotton and planting there will be moving rapidly within the next four weekss
 With the farmers in that section dry farming cotton is a thing of the past, cotton by irrigation having demonstrated that two or more bales to the acre can be produced. This effort is not confined to any one locality in the valley, but will be carried on extensively at Mission Gone field here containing 1000 acres), Mercedes, McAllen, Harlingen and San Benito. At the two latter named places thousands of acres are going into cotton By this new method of cotton farming two crops year from the same land are assured, one of cotton and one of vegetables. As an evidence of what can be aecomplishe ed, the experience of college graduate near Harlingen last summer Is sufficient This young man, without any previous knowl- edge of farming other than that obtained on north Texas farm, went into the valley and devoted his energies to five acres of irrigated cotton. When the picking season closed he had made aslittle more than two bales to the acre. giving him net profit of more than s100 per acre. It. is this and other experiments that are rapidly converting the valley to one continuous cotton field for one crop of the year.

Something really new in the use of the interurban motor car is being demon strated in most practical manner at San Benito. Tex, by Samuel Robinson MT Robinson is one of the live wires in that section of, the state. One year ago he conceived a plan of connecting the truck farms with the railway station by interurban, thus giving farmers rapid transit a. a rate so cheap that they could not afford to transport by wagon to the shipping point. The plan met with universal favor and now MT. Robinson Is extending his system to all parts of the lower Rio Grande valley in the vicinity of San Benito, Brownsville and Harlingen. In addition to carrying produce of the farm, the line will be equipped with a passenger car service, modern in every particular When MT. Robinson finishes his road, which is now in course of con- struction he will have the most unique interurban system in the world, his being the only road taking the products of the farm at the field and delivering them to shipping points on a steam railway. The idea is MT. Robinson's own and in this he is setting an example which it is be- lieved will be initiated in other parts of the country.
