SIX FINE Bulls FOR
THE BULL FIGHT
Splendid Specimens Of the Famou
Espiritu Santo Stock Arrive i
Matamoros.

The famous Espiritu Santo bulls
noted throughout Mexico for their
fighting auolities. which were bought
for Sundays bull fghis, reached
Matamoros Thursday night. visit
to the pen where they are kept re-
vealed six magnificent animals, of
powerful build, towering high above
the meek and lowly oxen THAT assist
in keeping their more strenuous
brothers in good humor
Three of the bulls are pain ed ones.
They are looking beasts, and If
they do not prove worthy Of the
matador's steel. then we miss our
guess
One of the bulls. a beautiful speci-
men, of dark red color, was horned
in the right keen as soon as the ami
mails were released from the car. The
wound is an ugly one to look at. a
part of the flesh being torn away,
yet it does not seem to annoy him
very much. Mr.. Puig will not permit
this bull to enter the ring unless
some of the other animals funk,
which is hardly probable. The other
wo bulls are of a dark brown shade
and dangerous looking animals They
no doubt will give a good account Of
them-elves.
Mr. Puig has has had the Plaza de
Toros renovated recently. A portion
Of it has been repainted and the box
seats numbered. Mr.. Puig expects a
record-breaking attendance, and has
made arrangements to care for all
that come.

We may, therefore,, fairly conclude
that there is no hope for the ac-

Remarkable Progress.

while the public has not yet
realized the all-important nature Of
extension teaching 80 far as agricul-
tural topics are concerned, the work
has already made remarkable pro-
gress. Six years ago practically
nothing had been done along this
line save the organization of farmers
institutes Now there are extension
departments in more than thirty
states employing several hundred
men as specialists.

HOUSEWORK Is A HEAVY BURDEN

The woman who "keeps house. has
enough to do when she is in good, sound
health, but if she is weak. tired all the
time, and suffering from morn to night
with an aching back, house-work becomes
a heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do,
the worry and strain of bearing and rear
ing children, the lack of proper exercise;
all tend to it.
Backache, bearing-down pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness, fits of "blues," and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently in kidney
disease. When any one of these ills ap-
pears, together with a discolored condi-
ton of the kidney secretions, with passages
too frequent, scanty or burning, just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak,
and be quick to help them.
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped a great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means so much
added misery. They do not disturb the
stomach or bowels and contain no poison
Gus, dangerous nor habit-forming drugs.
Doan's are harmless for children too.

DIVORCE MADE EASY
Law In Norway Makes Separa-
ton Practically Free.
Some NorWeglans Think That They
Have Solved the Problem of CIV
~IlIzatlon In Recently Enacted
Statutes.

London.-Norway has now solved
the divorce evil. At least so declares
Fru Ella Anker, one of the leaders OF
the Norwegian women's movement.
In explaining the divorce law Fru
Anker said: First | want to make 1t
clear that this law which has done so
much to solve the divorce evil in my
country was one of the direct results
of the enfranchisement Of my sex
The law was passed by a Liberal gov
eminent, but 1t had the support of all
parties. 1t is based on the principle
that mutual love between the husband
and wife Is the only moral basis for
marriage. When that feeling fails or
Is seriously shaken 1t Is absurd to
bind the two together any longer. The
law ought Their to step In and provide
the means for a divorce. Our law pro-
vides admission to separation as the
preliminary to divorce when both par
ties request 1t, and similar relief when
n requests 1t on such grounds as to
make 1t probable that mutual good
will is ruined. If there is agreement
between husband and wife, the law
grants a divorce without inquiring
into the reasons, but as security that
the step has been we'll thought over
before action, 1t provides that a year
of separation must intervene between
the application and the actual grant
Ing of the divorce. II the request is
made by only one party two years OF
divorce.
I'm my country divorce Is not
looked upon as a disgrace, but rather
