ENDORSED AT HOME.
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any Bryan Citizen.

The public endorsement Of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When a man comes for.
ward and testiies to his fellow-citi-
zens, addresses his friends and neigh
bors, you may be sure he is thorough.
ly convinced or he would not do SO.
Telling ones experience when it is for
the pubic good is an act of kindness
that should be appreciated. The fol-
lowing statement given by a resident
of Bryan adds one more to the many
cases of Home Endorsement which are
being published about Doan's Kidney
Pills. Read it.

Eye Of a horse.

The appearance Of white In the eye
Of a horse indicates a vicious nature.
because a high tempered horse con-
stantly looks about, apprehensive OF
danger or desiring to do mischief
The quick motion Of the eyeball in OPP
posite directions exposes an unusually
large surface Of the white. which
thus becomes an evidence Of the tenn

Nests on the Water.

1t is almost unthinkable that a bird
should build a nest on the water. Yet
that is exactly what the grebes always
do. With reeds. grass and plant stems
the grebe makes a regular floating is

usually near the open water of a

eral kinds of grebes. but their nests
are much alike. sometimes moored to
the reeds, but usually floating freely

Conspicuous by Absence"

Tacitus, the great Roman historian.
was the originator OF the phrase, Con
spicuous by his absence" when. de
scribing the funeral of Junia in his
"Annales," he said the images of her
famous kinsmen, Brutus and Cassius,
shone by their absence. Lord John
Russell popularized the phrase in Eng
land in 1859 by saying of Lord Derby's
reform bill, "One provision is conspicu-
u by Its presence. another by It's alb
sence."

CAN DIEGO'S PROBLEM

- San Diego is wrestling with the
problem of municipal ownership of the
domestic water system, which John
ID. Spreckels is offering to SELL 1t
never fails that when a question of
this character arises a good deal of
antagonism is awakened. But it is
also almost invariably true that the
people Of a city do well when they
take over the water system to oper-
ate for themselves.
There is no standard by which the
value of water system can be meas
ured, but it surely is a fact that the
value grows with the growth Of popu-
lation, and in a city developing with
the rapidity of San Diego it is evident
The value will never again be so low
as it is today.
