Dr. Hartman Advocates Fresh Air
 AS Treatment for Lung Diseases

My treatment 10. lung diseases was food and plenty or it. suited to the taste of the patient. fresh. warm as. The. patient sleeping o. an upper fioor. If there is anything such a patient Leeds il is warmth, as well as air and sun In addition 10 this, the right sort of tenie and dinusiva stinuiant constituted my treatment for lung diseases This had been advocating all along. l VII the first doctor in this country to adXo- cate the fresh air treatment.
 1 do not approve of the fresh air treat ment as applied by the doctors today IT. some future article I am gong 10 tell why II Is sufficient for me to say TOW that the doctors have swung 10 the ether extreme. In applying fresh air to their patients they have killed many by dampness and cold and exposure U the elements By stuffing them with eggs and milk they have deraneed the digestive organs so as to hasten the end.
 With rest. home surroundings. fresh air, good home-cooScd food and Perura a greater per cent. of lung diseases re- cover than from any other treatment in this or any other country. l sincerely believe this and l propose to proclaim 1t to the people and restore somewhat the prestige of the old Peruna, now known as Katarno. in the treatment Of oatarrh of the lunss and other catarrhal diseases. Catarrh of the lungs is ;ust or dnary catarrh, not q germ disease. In treating it as catarrhal disease all making cures where others fail
 Those wishing the Revised Peruna. La cupia or Manalin can find them Tn any drug store. Those wishing to procure Katarno. the old-time Peruna referred tc in the above remarks. should inquire of their druggist for it. If he does not keep il in stock he can easily get it or any wholesaler in the United States. If for any reason he 6oes not do so write to the Katarno Company, Columbus, Oho and they will tell you how to get T..
 In reference to Katarno l wish to say again what have said many times be fore, that Katarno is manufactured by the Katarno Company, Columbus, Ohio. by my consent l personally guarantee Katarno is made strictly according to the formula of the old Feruna.

STATE COURTS HAVE
 MANY SUGGESTIONS.
Lawyers Submit Proposals Looking to Revision of
 Judicial System

Montgomery, December 10.-(Special) ) When the supreme court and the court of appeals meet in special session 10 consider the adoption of new rules of practice in the appellate. trial and chancery courts, the two courts will probably have before them hundred or more suggestions relative to changes which the lawyers throughout the state would like to see made.
 Following the request of the two courts for suggestions from judges, la awyers an dothers interested in the subject of revising existing rules of practice, every member of the two courts has received recommendations for certain changes, and the courts will probably find themselves swamped with suggestions by the time they meet in special session.
 According to members of the two courts, the ready response of lawyers throughout the state in making sug- of practice in the three courts Is taken as an indication of their desire to see the inauguration of certain judi cial reforms. It is at the same time taken as an indication of their efforts to further the work of the judicial commission, which was created by the governor for the purpose of revising the civil and criminal procedure of the state.
 The courts will again meet in special Session sometime during the present winter. In the meantime the several appointed by Judge Dow dell are busy collecting suggestions relative to changes recommended, and in compiling these recommendations Tor presentation to the supreme and ap- pellate courts.

FOR SELF PRESERVATION
Snyder Joins Sister Towns In Pro.
test Against Increase of
Freight Rates


the railroads OF this section OF Tex
as are about to move the common
point freight rate territory 100
miles TO the east OF present limit
and thus subject Snyder and other
west Texas towns to a higher in
terstato freight rate a meeting was
called last week at San Angelo to
draft a protest of merchants and
shippers against such move. j.
Monroe and r. c. Denebach repre-
sented Snyder at that meeting.
The San Angelo Standard gives
the following report OF the meeting:
At joint meeting of forty seven
representatives from the cities in
west Texas In the territory that will
be effected by the contemplated
change in the boundary line of COM
mon point territory a distance of
100 miles east of It's present situa-
tion. resolutions were adopted con-
demuing any action that might be
taken by the railroads to increase
the freight rates on interstate ship
ments of commodities in this terri
tory.
u was also the sense of the meet
ing that every town that is effected
will give both it's moral and iinaIo
cial aid to fight any change that is
in contemplation or may be made to
increase the present freight rates.
An organization was perfected a
mong the towns to hereafter stand
by one another in the fight to keep
the freight rates at fair and just
basis in this territory All of them
proposed to make determined
stand to combat any change that
may be made that will hinder the
growth of West Texas.
Il was also the sense of the meet
ing that to increase the freight
rates at this time would mean a set
back TO the development Of this sec
tion OF the state which is rapidly
filing up with farmers and wealth
producers.
The railroads within the past
month or so have been granted per
mission to increase the freight rates
on classified stuff and this was
thought to have been sufficient In
that the rates on commodities re-
main unchanged since the business
on commodities has increased pro-
portionately.
The following Executive Commit
tee was appointed comprising one
member from each community re-
presented:
r. r. Williams, Baliinger,
