tious and so havory.
Minnesota" Macaroni is one Of the
best and most nourishing foods known

dish. Serve it at least twice week in
place OF meat. You will save money

fine for children-it builds strong

BROWNSVILLE HERALD PUB. CO
SOME

AS The Herald recently had occasion
to observe, our neighbOr the Sentinel
seems to experience some difficulty in
keeping itself in line with itself from
day to day.
When called to order for its unkind
and seemingly unjust criticism of
Brownsville people on a certain Occa-
sion, we hear:
1. Many Of our fellow citizens misbc-
haved.
:. One man misbehaved.
,. If the Sentinel had said fifty per.
Sons had misbehaved The Herald woul0
prove it wasn't 50. (For which reason,
doubtless, it refuses to take up the cases
Of the other forty-nine.)
4. The Sentinel is a small paper. OF
any man fails to see the bearings of this
fact on the matter under discussion. il
is perhaps his FAULT
8. The Sentinel gives its mite to the
poor without publicity. Except, %
course, when it is forced to publish the
fact to sustain its charges against
brownsville society people,
6. The Sentinel can write its check for
$50, and the same will be honOred ut one
of the banks. MAY ii ALWAYS have Il
balance in the bank: and may we all.
in due time, come to the mental condition
when we can discover the relation OF
that fact to its charges against its fellow
citizens who attend parties across the
river
z. That The Herald cannot prove it is
right for a man to sit down while women
folks stand.
:. When properly approached, or per-
haps not waiting to be approached IA
all, it will give its mite to charity; bu!
if we fool with it on the subject Of the
premature stranger at the table. if will
even give 800 for charity-if it fails t0
prove the man was there al right. al
may appear at first sight, for. aS far as
The Herald knows, no one mas ever dis
puted the existence of this lone sinner
against social conventionS.)
This brings us face to face with this
dilemma: How is anybody going to
argue with an argucr from Arguville
like the Sentinel"

large and announces that Mercedes
is a live town, in a live and growing

the reader that Mercedes can be
