How To Cure a La Grippe Cough.

Coughs that hang on" demand
treatment. Stop and think Reason
and common sense tell you that it is
folly to grin and bear it." Those
racking la grippe coughs that wrench
the body and cause soreness and
pains in the lungs yield more quickly
10 Foley's Honey and Tar than to
any other treatment. Forty years rec
ord Of successes proves this. For
coughs, colds, Group and other dis
tressing ailments Of throat, chest,
lungs, larynx and bronchial tubes, you
can fnd nothing that will compare
with this reliable remedy. 8. G. Wall,

Experiments will be made the COM
ing season in the growing of peas for
canning. 1t is claimed by those who
have had experience in the work that
the best crops can be produced and
that the business will pay even on
the high-priced land. AS a stock feed
there is nothing better for mixed
ration and every acre yields an I'M
mense amount of vines which stacked
in the field in a proper manner can
be used through the winter with the
best results. Could a sufficient acre
age be obtained there is no doubt but
the canning company would put in
machinery especially adapted for the
work and it is believed that peas will
prove a paying crop. The Otero Coun-
ty Agricultural association will ex-
pertinent with several varieties of
peas for the purpose of determining
the kind best adapted for climatic
and other conditions. 1t will be as
sisted by the government and by par
ties in another state who are inter
ested to know what the crop will do.

This Is a Bad Month.

The indoor life of winter, with lack
of outdoor exercise, puts heavy load
on the kidneys. Nearly everybody
suffers from rheumatism, backache,
pain in sides and back, kidney and
bladder ailments. A backache may
not mean anything serious, but it
certainly does not mean anything
good. It's better to be on the safe
side and take Foley Kidney Pills to

SNAP SHOTS AT WORLDS

Beginning the new year, England
views clear paths in the seven seas
for her commerce. From authorita-
tive estimates, it is learned that 80
per cent of her vessels over 100 tons
displacement are plying the oceans,
and they represent 81 per cent Of the
gross tonnage of the United Kingdom
vessels. Germany has less than a
dozen big vessels known to be at sea,
and $50 other ships of over 500 tons
that are not accounted for, giving her
at the topmost estimate some 40 per
cent Of her commerce now plying,
and in tonnage percentage only 10.7.
Over 1900 German ships have been
captured, detained in British or allied
ports, or are safely harbored in Ger
man ports, all useless in navigation.
The total number of English vessels
held idle by the war is 1876, of which
40 have been captured, rs detained
in German ports and II held up in
the Baltic and Black seas. This es-
innate puts the number of British
vessels of 100 tons gross now plying
as 10000.

With Skaggs on the Mexican
Border in Texas.

Castellon Peak, Jan. a, 1915.
Some one is supposed to bring the
mail down from Terlingua about ev-
cry three weeks, but sometimes it is
a clear miss. Evidently the ma
tives" are not literary people, yet
are far from being crazy. Some
months ago one Of them made time
purchase from Chicago photo en-
larging house and owed balance of
$3.75. Yesterday he brought me a
stenotyped letter from the Chicago
firm in which dire vengeance and all
sorts of bad luck was threatened up
on this native if he failed to come
through in ten days. They even
threatened to sue him in the local
courts and thereby bring disgrace
upon him and his household and in
bad repute with his neighbors. The
letter being translated to him, here
is what he told me to say in reply:
My Dear and Highly Esteemed
Senors: The pictures you sent were
landscape scenes in the Netherlands
no want him. Nearest court one
hundred miles My postoffice is Ter
lingua, Tex. live south of the river
on the Mexico side. Now what you
tink bout it, eh 2"
Another neighbor, native. brought
in his troubles this morning. He
owed So balance on house trade
transaction with party in El Paso.
He brought along three late duns re-
ceived by mail and wanted me to write
and tell the creditor that he paid it
two months ago and had the receipt
to show. However, having failed to
bring it / sent him back home. In
a couple of hours the old man, al
most breathless, rushed into my tent
holding the receipt papers" triumph
antly in both hands. 1t proved to be
a money order purchased at Terlin-
qua postoffice and had not been for
warded. "Why, supposed that this
receipt from the postmaster was quite
sufficient and that he would send the
money on" was his explanation.
Striking his right breast repeatedly
this hombre stated that he wanted me
to know his heart was in the right
place, anyway. And it was, only that
the old man hammered on the wrong
side of his chest.
Some italian laborers were told
that the common turkey buzzard, so
plentiful along this river, were only
black chickens, SO having shot half
dozen, prepared them into a big Sum
day stew. Four of them died next
day, but the doctor manager to save
the fifth one. When slightly con-
valescent the living patient had this
to say to the doctor: "Doc, de black
chick no good, no good; take him
away; me no like de black chick"

Notwithstanding the slough Of de-
spond through which the coal mining
industry of the United States was
compelled to work its way during the
last nine months of 1914, decidedly
hopeful tone prevailed at the end of
the year, and the opinion generally
expressed to Edward w. Parker, sta
tistician of the United States geologi-
cal survey, was that the receding tide
had reached its full ebb, and op-
timism was apparent regarding the
coming year. According to Mr.. Par
ker's estimate, which is based upon
numerous estimates received from
leading coal mine operators and 9th
ers familiar with the industry, the
total coal production of the United
States in 1914 was about 510,000,0 900
short tons, decrease of about co.
100000 tons compared with the record
output of 1913. Practically all of this
decrease was in the output Of the bit
uminius mines. The production OF
Pennsylvania anthracite in 1914 was
not materially different from that OF
the preceding year, which was 3d.
71S,6S0 long tons. In 1914, however
about 100000 tons principally nut
and steam sizes) went into storage
so that the quantity sent to market
was about 100000 tons less than ir
1913.
