The VALUE OF TRUTH

Truth in business is just important
as truth in everyday life; truth creates
confidence, establishes goodwill and
builds reliability that will not be
wrecked by the storms Of competition.
Through three generations people
have learned to place reliance on the
advertised words of SCOTS Emulsion,
because they are untamished, unex-
aggerated truisms about a household
remedy Of real and actual worth.
The popularity of SCOTS Emulsion
is increasing as intelligence advances,

San Antonio's example and establish
their municipal bat roosts,"
Tr. G. A. h. Campbell. VINO has
made special study of bats, is re-
sponsible for San Antonio's bat roost.
The institution came into existence
last spring. 1t was not "A success
in its first year owing to the fact that
it was established late in the spring,
and its population was not numerous
enough. This spring there is
large army of bats on hand, and it is
expected to get an early start.
DR.. Campbell says that one bat in
the course of single day will eat
one thousand mosquitoes. He expects
hordes of mosquitoes to perish daily,
and that by the end of summer the
pestiferous insects will be almost, if
not entirely, missing from this To-
cality.
The fight of bats will begin about
February 10 and from then until
April 80 they will fly about all night
long, trailing and devouring mosquit-
oes. Dr. Campbell says that the more
typhoid and other germs a
carries, the better the bat
1t.
After April 80 the bats grow less
hungry and more sleepy. BY the end
Of July their flights total only about
two hours. Soon thereafter the sea-
son for baby bats arrives.
A neighboring city, having written
to DR.. Campbell asking him to get rid
Of mosquitoes. he replied, Breed
bats" Then he got another letter
nquiring, "But, when you've got rid
Of the mosquitoes, how do you get rid
IF the bats?"

must relieve them, like you relieve
your bowels; removing all the body's
urinous waste, else you have back
ache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your
stomach sours, tongue is coated, and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and
you are obliged to seek relief two
or three times during the night

physician at once, or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast
for few days and your kidneys
will then act fine. This famous salts

clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine

The work of the board is fully re-

is directed to the work of tick elimi-

the work shows the vision that is

been dipped 34S,11S head of cattle.
These 34S,11S head of cattlc have
been dipped on an average of eight
times, making a total of 2,031,lS2
dippings, or an estimate of 10000
head of cattle to the county Twenty.
one counties are actively engaged and
four more have recently begun tick
eradication work.
"The work has been carried on
most successfully, due largely 10 the
hearty cooperation of the state, fed
eral and county authorities. DuriuG
the season the state spent $1S,65S,93;
the federal government So, 5000,
and the counties $6G,O1O.94, or a total
expenditure of $13S,525.47.
Much credit is due certain private
individuals, who have built and main
tanned their own dipping watts. there

ties have 4i2 vats, or total of 574

head on the original number of cattle,
34S,21S head, on account of tick eradi-

bring if free from ticks and not COM

"Deducting the sum of $13S,525.47,

ication work, from the increased value
of the cattle, or $2,43G,S26, you nave
a net increase in the valuation of the
cattle, or $2,29S,3OO.52.
"On account of heavy rains and
swollen streams, during the early
part of the season, and other OBJ
