keep the eggs from Matching can ac-
complish a great deal. Experts state
that 9S per cen of the eggs are laid
in stable manure and ? per cent in
garbage and other filth. The period
of incubation is ten days. Among
methods Of prevention suggested are
the spading of the stable refuse into
the ground every day and placing the
refuse in pits covered so as to make
them inaccessible to flies.
The campaign against mosquitoes
has driven yellow fever out of cities
where it formerly reaped a yearly
harvest, and has rendered remote
the probability of that disease in this
country. A vigorous var against the
fly is the next thing in order-Anti-

POOR CLASS OF WIT.

1t is a poor class of wit indeed
which must needs parody holy writ
for the sake of saying something
funny. No doubt Senator Williams
of Mississippi will agree with this,
since he came to the conclusion that
the parody on the Apostles Greed
with which he entertained the SEN
at recently would better be eX-
plunged from the Congressional
Record. The alleged witty adapta-
ton of that sacred confession Of the
Christians faith to existing political
conditions may have passed muster
with the senate, but after its author
had heard from home, he must have
felt something like the author of the
Purple Cow" who m%ournfully on
fessed:
I'm sorry now | wrote it,"
Religion is too sacred a thing to
be made a jest of. Even the atheist,
when he remembers how he once
bowed his baby head at Mothers
knee and lisped the little prayers
she so lovingly and earnestly taught
him, should respect the faith which
was hers.

THE PESTIFER0US FLY
DEATH DEALING PEST
Carries Millions of Disease Germs,
Including Typhoid Fever and Con-
sumption Feet are Germ
Catchers.

Recent issues of the medical jour
nails have devoted much space TO lit
erature on the fly and its menace to
health, and a vigorous campaign
has been started against the pest.
Once flies were considered merely
a nuisance, but since science began
delving successfully for auses of the
ills that afflict mankind it has been
discovered that they were the car
riers OF disease germs and primarily
responsible for many of the fevers
that are deadly during the summer
months. In the interest of health il
therefore becomes important to de-
wise mea of eliminating flies or
reducing their numbers by as many
millions as possible.
Screens and due attention to the
flies that manage to force entry To
the house afford protection, but the
greatest safeguarding Of health in
general lies in preventing the pests
from breeding. When il is realized
that the descendants from a single
fly number more than a million dur
ing az season it will be readily un-
derstood that systematic effort TO

Police Whistles for Women
Are Favored.

Minneapolis, Minn.-Little silver
police whistle, monogramed and at
tached to silver chains, may take the
place of the chain purse, the powder
book or the silver encased mirror
as a result Of the statement made by
Michael Healey, chief of police, that
he favored women carrying whistles
for their protection. AS a result of
the recent attacks upon women, Aid
erman McInerney has promised to
frame an ordinance authorizing all
women to carry such whistles. The
suggestion came from club women of
the fifth district Of the federation of

HALF A LOAF.

After about two years of earnest
endeavor to secure a double daily
mail service on the Brownsville
road, the railway mail service has
at last rewarded the efforts Of our
citizens by granting what might
properly be termed half a loaf. In
stead of putting Oh a mail clerk all
the way from Houston to Browns
Vile on the night train, the desired
service was ordered only for points
between Corpus Christi and Browns
vile. This at first was considered
satisfactory to the end Of the line SO
favored, and we we're inclined to
leave The towns on the eastern half
Of the1Brownsvple Road to fight it
PIT fer tAeNselVss
. but, when it came to putting the
new mail service into operation, it
developed that the railway mail SER
vice, with an economy which might
be truly c~ommendable if applied to
some of the operations of the postal
service, had decided that simultan-
eously with the Inauguration Of the
double mail on the main line, the
service hitherto in operation on the
Branch line between Brownsville
and AarEfageu should be discon-
tinnedt 49,
The great inconvenience which
such a change must u people all
over the Valley is too plainly evident
to require pointing out. The inter
course between Valley towns by let
ter which has been constantly going
on will be greatly hampered, and
the business which has ben conducted
by this medium must suffer more o
less, on account of this retrenchment
on the part of the postofice
authorities. Brownsville probably
will lose more than any other town
in the Valley thereby. The fact that
mail from this place or from San i
nito or Olmito, destined for Harlin-
gen or for any points on the Hidalgc
Branch must go by the early, or
4:5O, train, in order to be delivered
the same day, or else be delayed until
the following day certainly is not
agreeable. Points up the Valley
must experience the same inconven-
fence, as letters mailed by them for
points this side Of Harlingen can
not be delivered until the arrival of
the train which reaches Browns
Vile at 1850 p. m. This fact will
result in delays in answering such
mail, which no doubt will be very
annoying.
Thus il looks as If Brownsville
after securing a double daily mail
service for all points on the main
line south of Corpus Christi, would
have to make another fight to secure
the restoration Of the mail service or
the Branch train from here to Har-
lingen.

THE FATNEsS OF HEALTH.
Simose Fills Out the Curves and
Makes Thin People Fat.

If you are thin, your health is not
it should be. If you are losing
weight steadily, there is something
wrong that should be attended to at
once. You cannot be healthy and
strong if you are thin.
Perfect health and good. solid
beautiful flesh can only come through
the use of Samose, the remarkable
flesh, forming food.
This makes the thin and scrawny,
plump and robust, it mikes with the
food 80 that all of the elements that
make solid bone firm muscle and
good flesh are thoroughly assimilat-
ed and retained in the system.
Samose is not a drug or stimu-
liant; it is a scientific flesh forming
food that restores thin people to a
normal condition of good healthy
flesh.
These statements are confirmed by
Koeppen & Bros. who offer to refund
the money to anyone buying and us
ing Samose who does not gain in
weight as promised, The risk is all
Koeppens. The thin and scrawny
can buy Samose at druggist Keep
pen & Bros. store, with the knowledge
that IL it is not successful it will cost
absolutely nothing.

ten it has occurred that something re-
markable has happened upon some
part of the earth at the same time
that a large spot was located upon
the surface of the sun, but this is
merely a coincidence. About the on
ly effect sun spot has upon the
earth is that two or three nights later
an aurora makes its appearance"
The lecture by Professor Brooks,
who is the discoverer of the famous
Brooks comet" which made its ap-
pearance last summer, was illustrated
with colored pictures. The professor
in referring to the heat of the suns
rays, declared that each square yard
of sunlight when it reached the earth
was capable of one horsepower. He
stated that if the suns rays which
drop on Manhattan island each day
were made capable of driving ma
chinery they would be able to move
every steamship in the world.

YOUR GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH

A feeling of sadness accompanies
the discovery of the first gray hairs,
which, unfortunately. are looked up
on as heralds of advancing age. Gray
hairs, however, are not always an in
dication of advancing age, for many
people have gray hairs quite early
in life. OF course. it is natural, and
indicates that there is something
wrong with the individual, and that
Nature needs assistance in correcting
the trouble. The same is true of hair
that is constantly falling out anr be-
coming thinner every day. If every
thing is right with Nature, the hair,
even in comparatively elderly people,
should be long thick and glossy,
without even streak of gray.
The ideal assistant to Nature in re-
storing and preserving the hair is
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair REM
edy, a cleangand wholesome dressing
for daily use. 1t not only removes
dandruff, but strengthens weak, thin
and falling hair and promotes it's
growth A few applications will re-
store faded or gray hair to its natural
color.
Get a bottle today and let it do for
you what it has done for thousands Of
others. q
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle and is
recommended and sold by special
agent, Pendleton Drug Co.

HOLD EXAMINATIONS FOR
NAVAL ACADEMY THIS WEEK

University of oregon, Eugene, Ore,
Jan. 24.-From the number of entries
in the competitive examination to be
held at the State University Thurs
day. Friday and Saturday of this
week, which is to determine two ap-
pointments to the Naval Academy at
Annapolis, it would seem that a mil
itary or seaman's life does not hold
any vigorous appeal to the young
men of the state of Oregon. So far
but six have signified their intention
of trying for the appointments. 1t
OF Pendleton are not aware of this
excellent opportunity to get into the
Naval Academy. There is no politi-
cal, social, or family pull connected
with these two appointments, which
are to be made this spring. Candi-
dates must be between seventeen and
twenty years old. The two young
men who pass the highest mental
tests in Algebra, Geometry, Arithme-
tic, Grammar, Geography, Writing,
Spelling. Reading, Ancient History
and United States History, and also
the highest physical tests. will be
given the appointments. The exami-
nations are given by the University,
the appointments are made by Sena-
tor Chamberlain. Entries will be
open until THURSDAY morning. January

ON MARS HAS
DOUBLE CAPACITY
Astronomers Believe Change Indicates
Artificial Construction

Artificial Construction.
Flagstaff, Ariz.-Observatio at
the Lowell Observatory show that the
Martian canal Titan has doubled since
the last presentation of this region six
weeks ago. The canal then was
single gossamerlike filament running
nearly straight north from the Gulf
OF the Titars across the equator and
far into the northern hemisphere of
the planet.
A perfectly parallel line has now
appeared to the east of it, the distance
separating the twins, being somewhat
more than a hundred miles. Both
filaments have no appreciable width
and they leave similar caret-like hicks
in the coast line as starting points.
Although of no sensible width,
these canals are perfectly straight
and enormously long, exceeding two
thousand miles. They are strongest
nearest the hicks and have been in
creasing in visibility northward, which
shows that what gives rise to them is
slowly travelling down the disk from
the southern hemisphere, where for
months the snow cap has been melt
ing, into the northern one, which is
just entering upon its spring. They
leave the great bluegreen areas of
one hemisphere to traverse the i'm
mense equatorial region to oasis in the
other.
This doubling of certain Mart ain
canals at certain seasons is one of the
mysteries of the great planet. 1t is
one of the many proofs that the can
ais are of artificial construction.
