most of the states lare made the as
ease reportable. In3 New York city,
where reporting has been in force FOR
many years, over 5000 eases of tu-
berculosis are registered with the De-
partment of Health.% Those familiar
with the situation heEeve that the nd
dition of unrecOgniHpd and Lnreported
cases would make the number nearer
$4,000. The very careful health sur
vey conducted during the past two
years in Framinghans Mass, revealed
200 cases of tuberculosis in popuia-
ton of approxims telyf15,000. If these
proportions hold true for the United
States as a whole they would indicate
that about one in every hundred per-
sons is tuberculOus. Each Of these
constitutes a source Of danger to be
guarded against"

DR.. Thacher' Liver & Blood Syrup
will do all that calomel will do and
without the latter effects"

Years ago, when people were bilious,
when the liver got lazy and failed to do
its work or the stomach was out of
condition, calomel was the standby.
By and by the use rs of calomel found
that the 'safter effects" of taking the
drug were as bad and more often worse
than the ailment for which it was
taken.
DR.. Thacher, in seeking . medicine
to take the place of calomel-one that
would do all the good that calomel
would do, and yet leave none of its evil
effects perfected DIR. TEACHERS Liver s.
Blood Syrup. This WAS In 1853, and
each year since has added to the conf
dence of those who have used it.
Miss Susie Brewer, Of Chattanooga,
Tenn, tried calomel. She was suffer-
ing with very serious cold and grippe
and had no appetite whatever. After
the calomel failed she tried DR.. Thach-
es's Liver & Blood Syrup. She felt
better after taking three doses and she
soon got entirely we'll. 81 think DR..
TEACHERS Liver and Blood Syrup is a
wonderful incidence she said, "and I
am very thankful tried it," -g.
For nearly three quarters OF century
this sterling preparation has been an
sold standby" in thousands Of homes
in treating rheumatism, dyspepsia, in
digestion and other stomach and liver
complaints. Itisa powerful tonic and
blood purifier and can be used with
the utmost confidence.

wire for an expert who was due here

best that can be rendered with old

He has had twenty years experience

sONE QUESTIONS ON
THE COTTON SITUATION

/. What did Il cost the farmers
OF East and South Texas TO make
this years crop, where II takes from
10 80 acres 20 make a bale?
2 What did It cost the farmers
OF West Texas to make this years
crop, when IL has taken 3 years TO
make It?
3. If II cost more than as cents
a pound, on an average in the whole
state to make this crop, according 10
the estimate OF the State Department
of Agriculture, why should not the
farmers get II? Are they not en-
&tled to some Rtoit she same as
other people?
4. Cannot the farmers. merchants
and bankers Of the South cooperate
so as TO control the price and thus
enable the farmers TO get for their
cotton what II is worth? Is II not
their duty TO do so?
3. Why is II middling stained
cotton in other parts of the State
is selling for $15 TO $50 more a
bale than is the middling white cot
ton of West Texas? VIII not the
farmers, merchants and bankers of
West Texas unite and stop this un-
just discrimination
G. Is there a combination, as
many think, among the buyers OF
West Texas, to eliminate all com
petition and thus get the cotton Of
West Texas at reduced price?
II such a combination does really
exist who is financing it? Are there
any local banks that are lending the
money OF their depositors, many Of
whom are farmers to this combina-
tion of spectators 20 buy the farm
er's cotton for less than cost Of pro-
duction?
Il behoyes every farmer and busi-
ness man of West Texas TO consid-
er these questions and arriving at
correct and just answer. to act ac-
,ordiaely.
Respectfully,

Conrt Stons the Coal Strike

| The hand of the Government of the
United state is stronger than that of
any one class, clan or combination OF
people The coal miners under the
influence of radical leadership pro-
posed to stop the production of coial.
There were reasons 20 give them hope
of winning their Doint. The whole
country Is in a state of unrest. Al
most every element of the social and
industrial world is contending for
mastery. Living prices are abnor-
nally high. revolution is in the at
mosphere. foreign laborers are being
melted 10 anarchy, winter time is at
hand and the Coal miners believed
that the conditions were ripe for
pressing their demands. They SEEM
ed TO have forgotten the interest OF
the public. The very element which
the Federal Government most stands
ready to protect.
The strike was called for November
1st, and since that time there have
been nearly half million idle work
ers The government authorities saw
the danger to come from agitation
among miners and an injunction was
sued out to prevent further conspir-
acy and to restrain strikers from in
terfering with people who might
want to work.
This tied the hands of the strike
leade.s and they became wiling to
negotiate. they told Alto :L.'y irnrI-
~ rtlm,r that If he would withdraw
the injunction the strike ynU'. he
called off, but that offici i replied
that the injunction would take its
-.s - ana would not be Withdrawn
rrlcss tie strike was first cL'ipd off
rh,o g. last Saturday Federal
Jude Anderson at indianapolis sus-
aimed the Injunction and issued an
order for the cancellation of the
strike by Tuesday. November II, at
5 D. m. and il was understood that
he miners would be at work by

A.. To the Farmers OF Scurry County /.
At a meeting OF the tockholders

Warehouse and Marketing Associa-
tion, held IN Snyder. Nov. 10, a plan
for marketing the cotton OF farmers
who desire TO avail themselves OF the
facilities offered by the Warehouse
and Marketing Association, was
adopted.
Under this plan cotton will be
sold in lots of so bales or more to
export buyers. The cotton placed
with us for sale will be classed by
our classer and settled for upon his
classification. We guarantee the
correction OF his classification. Sales
made under this arrangement will
enable farmers OF this locality to
receive the market value OF their
cotton and relieve them of the neces-
sity OF supporting a bunch of middle
men who operate between the farm
ers and the exporter.
Those who desire to sell cotton
under this plan, must have their
cotton placed in the yard at the
Warehouselnstead OF in the public
yard. No charge for storage or
yardage will be made. Simply take
your cotton to yard u the Ware

your cotton in the next list, and We
will do the rest You do no have
to wait for the cotton TO reach its

buyers can get for their cotton, be-
