ARE YOU NERVOUS z
Then Look to the Condition Of
Your Blood You Cannot Have
Strong Nerves If the Blood
Is Thin and Weak.

The cause of much nervous trouble is
poor blood. The continual demand
upon the nervous system by the work
and worry OF the daily lie will result in
breakdown unless the blood is pure and
rich, for it is the blood that gives to the
nerves and other tissues of the body the
nourishment they need. A case in
proof, which illustrates the proper treat
ment for many nervous disorders. is
that OF Mrs. John Z. Reagan, of Elk
hart, Texas, who took DR.. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People upon the adj
vice of her father-in-law, the late Hon.
John Fl. Reagan, who was Postmaster
General of the Confederacy, u. S. Sena-
tor for a number of years and Chairman
of the Railroad Commission of Texas.
Her husband was formerly County At
torney of Anderson county. She tells of
her cure, as follows:
My sickness began several wears ago.
as a result of worry and OVERRIDING.
while nursing my child during sickness.
I was living at Jacksonville but was
moved to Crockett to my sisters home.
/ was in bed for about six months and
was constantly under the care of doc
tors. They pronounced my case ner-
vous prostration and gave me tones to
keep up my strength as well as they
could. / was finally able to get up from
bed but could just get around and did
not gain in health I suffered mostly
with my heart 1t seemed to paipitate
and / would often faint away and be
unconscious. Sometimes the exertion
of rising from my chair would cause me
to faint away. I was SO nervous that
couldn't bear to have any noise or ex-
element near me. I was pale and had
no strength or life at all. My stomach
was weak and didn' seem able to digest
anything but the lightest foods.
My father-in-law, the Hon. John
Fl. Reagan, who had taken DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People for rheu-
matism and who was cured by them, per-
suaded me to give the pills trial. In a
short time I could see that was mend

New York. Oct 1.-The first great
steamer to be equipped with the Frahm
anti-rolling tank. the Victoria Luise

from Hamburg this morning with 531
cabin passengers. In rough sea this
device has reduced the rolling of the
steamer from sixteen degrees from TIE

comfort to the poorest sailors The de-
vice consists of two U shaped tanks

vessel. The ship so equipped is said
to carry its own waves. which tend
to neutralize its motion and hold tire
decks in horizontal position.

1t is the hope Of the promoters to
interest all the owners of the land

contract to take the water. A quantity
equal to II inches of rainfall will be
offered at SIS for each acre irrigated

City in Texas Has Scheme for Irrisa-
ton Dam Which Will Create a
Seven Mile
Lake.
WILL CREATE POWER
Cotton Gins and Electric Railway Can
Be Operated by the Force
Of the Wa
ter.

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. Am irrigation
scheme that is counted on to double
the value of 10000 acres of already
dear Travis county land and multiply
the cotton crop by four or five, is near
realization just below the city in the
Valley of the Colorado. The rich, level
lands of the Del Vale and Hornsby's
Bend neighborhoods-4,00 900 acres In
the former, 5000 in the latter-are
those to which the promise of never
falling moisture comes.
A dam is to be constructed across
the river near the old Hergotz ford.
which is four miles down the river
from Metropolis bridge-four miles by
the road or eight by the river. The
promoters, who are large owners of
land in the irrigation district, declare
that the entire lay of the ground is
ideal for the carrying out of their
plans. Since under the federal irri-
cation laws only the conserved food
waters can be used for irrigation, and
not the normal flow, fortunate cir
cumstance Is seen in the fact that a
deep creek joins the river just above
the dam, which, after a retaining wall
has been built across the mouth, can
be utilized for a storage reservoir.
The flow of the river will be utiliz-
ed to generate power which, among
other things. will operate the machine
cry that will pump the surplus water
of the river into the reservoir. The
power will also be harnessed to a
cotton gin, 1t is affirmed, and 1t is
even limited that an electric railway
may be operated through that thickly
settled section.
The promoters of this attractive en-.
terprise are Pat Daniel P. j. Jones,
j. G. Jones and D. B. Matthews, who
among them own 1000 acres of the
irrigable land, and j. C. Dumont, the
engineer
| Mr.. Daniel said last night that in
compliance with the state drainage
law, the plans and specifications of
the project will be filed this week
with the county clerk, which act will
bind them to begin work within nine
ty days The dam is to be Of rein
forced hollow concrete, Is feet high
and $50 feet long, costing something
like s35, 900. A lake seven miles long
will be formed.
The Del Vale land is on the west
side of the river and that in the big
bend is on the east, and the bodies Of
land, it is declared, will be joined by
the dam. The water from the storage
reservoir will be pumped into sys-
tenn of bitches watering the Del Vale
tract, the water 70 be carried across
and drained into Onion Creek, to re-
enter the river later by this route.
Since the Hornsby's Bend land is low
