DESTROYING the Alamo

Americans have been accused OF lack
of reverence for great historic places,
and the charge must be true, as the
Texans have begun to tear down the
Alamo, the famous fortress in San An
tonic, which Crockett and Bowie and
Bonham and Travis and their comrades
defended to the last man against the
hordes of Santa Anna, says the New York
World.
If there is any deathless story in Amer
lean history it is this. For its like you
will have to go back more than 20o0 years
to I.eonidas and his 800 Spartans in the
Pass of Thermopylae. There is no Amer
lean who has not thrilled when he read
the tale. The Texans numbered about 100,
and Santa Anna brought up his thousands.
While a way of escape was yet open,
Travis addressed the Texans, and said
that any who wished could CO. but the
others would stay and die. They stayed.
The event stirred the whole civilized
world. and when. few months later the
Texans under Sam Houston. destroyed the
Mexican army at San Jacinto, Remember
the Alamol' was their battle cry.
The old building, of course, has suf-
fered from decay, and some years ago
the state made an appropriation for its
restoration. But the money gave out.
and now the upper story has been Aorn
away and much of the restored material
has been sold for commercial purposes.
1t is said that in spite of the efforts of
Governor Colduitt of Texas. the whole
building is in danger oe being DESTROYED
very soon.
This valdalism seems incredible, but
it is fact. and the public cannot learn
of it too soon. The Alamo belongs not
alone to San Antonio, nor alone to Texas
but to the whole nation.

GREEK TO MEET COSTELLO

The last of the elimination wrestling
matches which are being conducted by
the Athletic club for the purpose of
finding a suitable opponent for DR..
Roller who will wrestle here on Feb
ruary 90 will be held Thursday night
between Gus Kervaras, the Greek
Lion" and Gus Costello. the giant Ital-
ian grappler. The winner of this bout
will be matched to meet Rol>er.
Since coming to the city Kervaras
has become a general favorite throug.,

which he has participated he has gained
clean cut victories over both of mis-
opponents, Mike Donnelly and Bob
Allen.

bond for $4,000 to guarantee that the en-
try of the new league clubs into South

deficit in the net income ef the Southern
league below the average of the past

phases of the proposition
The meeting tonight was preliminary to

tentative schedules will be considered, ac-
eording to President Kavanaugh, who
also said that the probable opening dates

As to weight, the Italian grappler
will have an edge on the Greek cham
pion. Keravas, on the other hand, is
no doubt possessed of more science than
the Italian Both Keravas and Costello
are anxious to secure match with Dr..
Roller, and the winner will have an
opportunity to meet the great physician
athlete.
Kervaras, who is already In good
condition, is daily going through n
course of strenuous training so as to
be in the best possible condition when
he tackles Costello. Costello's mana
ger reports his man in good shape. due
to his having had some hard matches
in Chicago recently
The bout is attracting a good deal
of attention and to the fans who like
plenty of action it should prove a
thriller. 1t will no doubt be slam
bang affair from start to finish and a
case of give and take of plenty of the
rough wrestling. Both wrestlers are
big and strong and consequently can
stand plenty of good, hard milling.

How To Grow Long
Beautiful Hair
BY a Hair Specialist.

1t is not hard to stop the hair from
falling out and promote its growth ii
the right means are used. There is no
hope for the scalp where the hair
roots are dead and the scalp is shiny.
However, to those who have not reach
ed this condition, immediate steps should
be taken to stop it before it is too late
Here is simple recipe which you cam
make at home, that will stop the hair
from falling out promote its growth
and eradicate scalp eruptions and scalp
humors. I know of cases where the hair
has grown from four to five inches in j
lew months after using this simple ra
cipe: To a half pint of water add oz
bay rum, a small box of Barbo Com
pound and 4 OF. of glycerine, and apply
to the hair, rubbing with the finger tins
two or three times week. These in !
gradients can be obtained at any drug
store at very little cost and mixed at
home. This recipe not only promotes the
growth of the hair but darkens streaked]
faded gray hair and makes 1t soft and
glossy.

Osteopathy's Basic Principle.

Health is not q mystery. It IS the sum of all the organs of life op- eratng naturally. Disease is not mystery. It is the result of one or more organs acting improperly. The cure for disease, then, is plain; Set the tissues a-right make the indi- vidual cells act alright; then the or gans will act alright.
 To operate naturally all parts of the machine must be correctly plac- ed and well adjusted with regard to the rest of the organism. Get clear-cut conception of this truism which is the basic principle of os- teopathic philosophy, the key to in terpret osteopathic practice. It is so simple it is usually overlooked and forgotten
 Andrew Taylor Still, M. D. a phy- sician and surgeon of the old school, the founder of osteopathy, puts it somewhat after this fashion:
 .If every structure in the body is. in it's normal place and condition that is to say, properly adjusted with regard to all related structures-the body may be counted upon to oper- ate properly, because it is, first of all mechanical contrivance, ma chine; and any machine that is per- fectly made, complete in all it's parts and exquisitely adjusted-as is the human body-will run accurately just as long as it remains in correct me chanical form and adjustment.
 "If the human machine fails to run properly the first presumption should be-just as in the case of any ma chine-that some structure, some part of the anatomy, hss gotten out of it's proper relation to other structures. Some fault has developed in the form, or position, or adjustment of some part of the organism"
 This viewpoint of disease is new 1 and revolutionary, yet simple, under standable and eminently practical. ] Man is a machine. Like all machines, the laws governing the body and it's operations at basis are mechanical. Whatever mechanical cause might throw the parts of any machine into
 ll-repair--such as jolt or strain, for example--may throw the human anatomy into improper adjustment, may put it in bad working order, thus producing a arrangement of health. The right cure, obviously, is adjust ment. Osteopathy is adjustment. adv
