STOCKTON, Cal, Jan. ~. -
Eighty-five per cent of the insan-
ity caused by overwork, shock,
grief, alcoholism or excuses is
durable by hydrotherapy 1.-THE
scientific application of water and
heat
This startling fact has been pos
itively demonstrated at the state
hospital here.
Together with the re-education
method of treating, also practiced
here with remarkable results, the
water cure" is banishing the ter
ror of the asylum.
The efficacy of the agencies
has been known for some time in
private sanitariums where big fees
stimulated research, but they are
only now being applied in the
peoples institutions.

George s. Perry, 03 years old

the Pacific coast division of the
Milwaukee railroad and known to
the brotherhood of railroad men as

trains took the lead. The North
Coast stopped at Easton, but the
Olympian continued on.
The Olympian was standing still
when the North Coast passed a
few miles this side of Easton,
when Perry's body was removed
from the cab. Another invitation
for a race was issued by the crew
of the Northern Pacific train. Pas
sengers on the Olympian said last
night that Holton and members of
the Olympian's crew wept as the
North Coast Numbered by.
Perry is survived by a widow,
two sons and two daughters.

Pimples Will Not

The Failure to Use Stuart's Calcium
Waters, a Proved Remedy for
Pimples, COnvicts You of I'm
DardOnRbIe Negligence,

Pimples are an offense to others
and a crime against yourself. Peo-
pie have only tolerated you because
they considered the condition of
your face to be misfortune
against which you had no remedy.
But now that 1t Is universally
known that Stuarts Calcium Wa
fers will cure the worst cases of
pimples, blackheads, blotches, erup-
lions, and liver spots. your contin-
ued negligence will be considered
inexcusable.
The person with a pimply face is
always unattractive and at disad-
vantage in society. Those ugly dis
figurements set at naught the eff
feet of the most perfect features. II
your face and figure had the classi-
cal outlines of n Greek statue, a
mass of pimples would still destroy
your beauty. A clear, fresh skin
is absolutely essential to any real
beauty.

The lower House OF the Texas Leg
islature adopted a resolution Saturday
expressing the sentiment that prompt
steps should be taken TO pass laws to
encourage the erection OF cotton mills,
and suggesting as slogan, Wear
cotton goods" There are. we believe,
sixteen cotton mills IN the State
These consume something like $4,000
bales OF cotton annually. Texas pro-
duces from four to FIVE million bales
OF cotton. Why not do something to
encourage more cotton mills in the
State? Southern cotton mills annual
ly consume upwards OF 100000 bales
of cotton. yet Texas. which produces
approximately one-third OF the total
crop, Is so far behind other cotton
growing States Of the South in cotton
manufacturing that by comparison one
can only refer TO the industry with a
feeling OF modification at It's insig'
nifcance.- Post.
The Eagle has long been an advo-
cate OF cotton mills for Texas and par
ticularly for Brazos County. The idea
OF won't pay" however, seems to
have gotten hold Of the people and
every fellow shakes his head dubious
ly. Some day our people will wake
up to the fact that II is foolishness to
pay freight on cotton to New England
and Europe and then on the manufac-
tured product when It is shipped back
to us. They will also come to the
realization that cotton mills can be
operated as successfully in the cotton
fields as they can thousands Of miles
away.
