LETTER FROM GARNER
REGARD TO EXTENSION OF IN
TERCOASTAL.

The following letter was received thi
by the Brownsville Chamber 0
commerce, in answer to the latter's tel
gram of the 14th instant, in regard t
he extension of the IntercOastal canal:
Washington. July IL, 1913
Brownsville Chamber of Commerce.
Brownsville, Texas.
Gentlemen:
Your night letter Of the 18th received
on the morning of the fifteenth.
| made the best argument | could
before the board of engineers pre-
Senting all data that was in my
hands.
As YOU know | succeeded in placing
on the statute books the order au-
thorizing Il survey, but that is about
all that | can do until favorable
report is made.
| am glad to note that your organ
izatiOn is taking an interest in the
matter and | trust that it will take
sufficient interest to present all the
data possible to Colonel Richie in or
der to convince him of the necessity
of this improvement.
If the IntercOastal Canal can be
extended down there it will certainly
give you relief in the way of freight
rates, and it will be what your sec
ton badly needs.
As | have said 50 repeatedly no ap-
preparation can be secured from con-
grcsS without a favorable report from
the board of Army Engineers There
fore | do hope that YOU people who
are vitallv interested in that section
will bring every influence to bear on
Col. Richie to convince him of the
commercial necessity of this water
way improvement.
Please command me freely in every
matter in which | can serve your
section.
Very truly yours.
JNO. y. GARNER.

SALAD ACCESSORIES.

In the list Of these accessories may
be classed onions, chives. cabbage
sweet green peppers, pimentos, cheese
fruits and nuts Of various kinds.
A relish dish is a convenient recep-
tacle for these salad additions. into
one subdivision put celery clipped IN
%julienne shaped lengths, into another
thin shavings Of raw onion and into a
third long slivers of sweet green pep
per. BY passing these at the same
time with the plain green salad each
person at the table is at liberty to
follow his individual taste. A vegeta-
BILE or a fruit salad can be made a mat
ter of personal choice by serving Sec
tons Of grapefruit or orange in one
subdivision Of a relish dish and quar-
tered tomatoes or shredded cabbage
in another.
Where the taste of the household is
divided as to salad dressing it is little
more trouble to provide both French
and mayonnaise dressings. Have the
French dressing we'll mixed in a pretty
cruet and the m~ayonnaise in a glass
bowl about the size of a finger bowl.

FATIGUE A FOE OF BEAUTY.
Causes Sunken Eyes, Sagging Muscles

Fatigue is the great American beau

which they control, says McCalls
Magazine. "A gradual deterioration Of
the muscular tissues sets in which

One of the simplest methods of

it in cold water and then mop it off
with cologne. This will stimulate the
circulation and is restful and soothing,
