Check Receding Gums A Remarkable Healing Agent and Perfect Dentifriee i'm One Tube.

Too little care is taken of the teeth. A great majority of adults are more or less afflicted with soft gums.
 The trouble starts years before we notice 1t. We do not pay enough atten- Tion to soft, spongy gums and to the starting of cavities and the accumula- Eion of tartar
 We should have eur teeth examine ed and cleaned every six months. We should thoroughly cleanse our mouths and teeth after each meal, before orea kfast and before retiring.
 These facts suggested to Dr. R. J. Forhan of New York the idea of ex- perimenting for an ideal home cura- tive agent. He succeeded. His product. called DIR. FORHAN'S DENTAL CREAM, is producing remarkable re- suits. It fs recommended by every dentist familiar with its merits.

bill escaped death today i'll the house
by a very narrow margin. Its final pass
age is still a matter of doubt. The
house today, after debating OF the
measure all of yesterday afternoon and
up to noon today, by a vote of 50 to SO
voted down an amendment to strike out
the enacting clause. The bill is now up
for engrOssment. The bill was framed
so as to exempt interurban lines from
its provisions, also railroads of 45 miles
or less. And also that the act shall not
apply to any railroad that hereafter may
be equipped with the block system.
The house committee on criminal re-
forms today reported favOrably the
house bill by Representative Rowell
which seeks to abolish hanging in Texas,
and substitute electrOcutiOn.

THIS SEASON THAN LAST-EX-
PRESS CO. BUILDING SHEDS.

Three Wells Fargo officials are in the
Valley during this week looking over
the vegetable shipping situation, and
into the general condition of the vege-
table crops. Included in the party are
G. \. Campbell of San Antonio, district
superintendent, G. w. Simpson of Hous-
ton, industrial agent, and George f.
johnson of Houston, traffic manager.
According to Mr.. Campbell, the vegc-
tables shipped by express during the
present shipping season already amounts
to five or six times greater than that Of
last year. The company has shipped
twenty-three cars of lettuce from the
Valley during the month Of January,
and will handle five or six cars during
this month.
Work is progressing slowly on the
shipping sheds the express company is
erecting at various stations in the Val
ley. One shed, the first to be erected, is
about completed at Mercedes, and work
is starting on another at that town. The
next shed to be erected will be at Donna.

the governor will have sixty days within
which to approve the plans. Mr.. Cole
said this morning that at this time he
has no outlined plans whatever for the
proposed lines, and he was unable to
state what the cost per mile of the lines
would be, nor what additional lines
would be constructed outside Of that
called for within the next seventeen
months.
The general terms of the franchise are
similar to that granted on this side of
the Rio Grande; however, instead of the
five cent fare collected on this side. the
fare in MatamorOs will be four cents
American money, or eight cents Mexican
money.
The new franchise holders have a
frontage Of one mile along the Rio
Grande from Santa Cruz north, and they
may reach the river banks with their
line at any point within this district.
Mr.. Cole said that a connection with
lines in Brownsville is not considered
at this time, though it is well known
from information previously given out
that it is the ultimate intention to run
cars direct between Brownsville and
MatamOrOs.
Asked as to date upon which work on
the proposed line would begin. Mr.. Cole
stated that it is uncertain at this time.
The beginning of actual construction
depends upon the many small prelimin-
airy details which must be taken care of.
but it is certain that the required track
age of a little less than two miles will
be completed within the required seven
teen months.

MONTHS.

Upon his return from Victoria. Tams.
Mexico, Mayor A .B. Cole of this city an.
nounces that all details have been closed
by which he is granted a franchise for
the construction and operation of a
street car system in the city of Mata-
mOros. The franchise was signed by
himself, Governor Matias Guerra of the
state of ~Tamaulipas, and by BasiliO
Ramos, secretary of state, Monday. The
holders Of the franchise are to have
three kilOmeterS, or a fraction less than
two miles, in operation within seventeen
months.
Mr.. Cole deposited a guarantee of
$1,000, Mexican money, that the grantees
will hold to the terms of the contract,
and have the line in operation within the
required time. The franchise is made
for fifty years, the first ten of which the
builders may operate gasoline-electric
motor cars, similar to those in operation
in Brownsville, and after which time
they must electrify the lines. operating
electric street cars. exclusively.
The lines are to be exempt from all
taxes for fifteen years, with the excep-
ton Of taxes for school purposes. The
grantees have the right to operate on
any of the streets within a certain fixed
boundary, even where the mule cars of
the Armendai estate are at present
operated, and the latter estate will con-
tinue to operate on such streets as will
permit of the occupation by two lines.
However, the rights of the Armendai
people will be subservient to those of
the new concern, and wherever there is
not space for two lines the Armendai
lines will have to withdraw.
In the event other parties seek a
street car franchise on the outside of the
boundary within which the grantees are
now allowed to build, the Cole holders
will be given the prior right to a fran
chise on streets sought by any later APP
plicants for a franchise.
Mr.. Cole hast thirty days within
which to submit plans for the proposed
system to Governor Guerra, after which
