HURRICANE ON

CUT OFF.
SWEEPS INTO MEXICO
STORM HAS BEEN RAGING FOR
SEVERAL DAYS WITHOUT
AeATINo.

San Antonio. Texas, Sept. 15.-Indi.
cations were that the center Of the
hurricane was north Of Brownsville.
A report from that place through
army radio to Fort Sam Houston said
telegraph and telephone lines to the
interior were cut off. Padre Island
and Brazos Island were reported un-
der water. Point Isabel Is surrounded
by water and the United States coast
guard quarters are believed to have
been destroyed. although the men are
safe. Reports from the Galveston
island said 1000 bales Of cotton were
afloat in the bay, and that salvagers
were being paid $40 for each bale re-
covered.
Dallas. Texas.-Driving furiously
into the Texas coast, principally In
the section southwest of Galveston,
the tropical hurricane that has skirted
the United States gulf coast for near
ly a week. apparently has swept In
land near the Mexican border. Wire
communication was interrupted In
most Of the affected area and the ex-
tent Of the storms damage could not
be learned accurately. but there were
no reports Of fatalities.
Brownsville and Corpus Christi ap-
parsntly felt the brunt of the storm.
which has passed on Into Mexico.
where 1t dlssipated in the Mexican
mountains.
Galveston, where considerable anx-
iety had been felt, apparently was
struck by the edge Of the storm area
and again the city was saved from
any considerable damage by the pow
erful sea wall constructed after the
1900 disaster.
Water was reported to depth Of
six feet In sections Of Corpus Christi
and information received by the
weather bureau ut San Antonio said
the water was three feet deep In the
lobby of q Corpus Christi hotel.
Isolation Of Brownsville was com-
plete, 50 far as wire communication
was concerned, the only Information
coming from that city being contained
In a brief wireless dispatch from Fort
Brown to southern department head
quarters at San Antonio reporting q
seventy-flve.mIle wind at 4 p. m.
The storm struck Galveston and
caused the tidewater to flood the busi.
ness section and the north side Of the
island to depth Of three feet. The
sea wall wlthstood the onslaught Of
the pounding waves, however, and
there was no damage to the causeway
connecting the city with the main
land.
By night most Of the water had re-
ceded from Galveston's streets. al
though an area OF several blocks still
ran with water to the curb top. Mer-
chants declared their loss was not
great. Galveston marine circles had
no reports Of shipping loss.

Why Water Runs Off Ducks Back.

The reason thai water runs off a
ducks back is that the feathers OF
ducks are oily and, as water and Oil
will not mix, the water runs Off in
stead of soaking in, one reads in the
Book of Wonders, published and copy
righted by the bureau of Industrial
education, inc, Washington, d. G.
The feathers on a duck are so thick
on the body of the duck. top and bot
tom, that even if it were not for the
oil which is on the feathers the water
would have some difficulty in soaking
through the feathers. But the main
reason why the feathers on a ducks
back cause water striking then to
run off is that the duck has an Oil
gland which is constantly producing
grease or Oil, and which the duck uses
in giving his feathers a thin coating to
make them slick, and when any water
strikes the duck it runs off. Other
birds which live in the water a great
deal have this Oil gland for the same
reason.

You Don't Feel Just
Right? Try Bonds
Liver Pills

When you wake up in the morning
with a bad taste in your month, q tlr-
ed, sluggish feeling or a sick head
ache you may be assured that some
thing within your system is radically
wrong. Colds, pneumonia and influ-
enza are readily attracted to a disor-
dered system.
Nine times out Of ten the trouble
may be found in an overworked or
poorly regulated liver. Regulate your
liver and the eliminative organs can
easily be controlled.
Bonds Liver Pills are better than
a laxative. They give you that Life
is worth the Living" feeling. These
pills clear the eliminative organs of
all impurities, stir up the liver, stim-
ulate the action of the bowels in an
effective manner, yet they work so
mildly that no weakness, gripping
pains or discomfort are felt by the
patient.
There is no remedy on the drug
market today that is q worthy sub
stitute for Bonds Liver Pills. Sold
by all druggists at 25c q bottle. Your
money will be refunded if these pills
do not satisfy you. (Adv.)

How to Prevent Seasickness.

In the future, sufferers from seaslck-
ness will not be forced to undergo that
dreadful trial just to get across tine
pond." Wen have airplanes to go
from America to France and the tun-
mel passage from France to England.
But for those who still cling to sea
craft, inventors are trying to do away
with the rolling motion of ships cab
ins. which is the chief cause of the
trouble. The principle on which they
are working is hat of ~suspending the
cabin from a fore-and-aft axis by
means of a gyroscope with a vertical
axis of spin. BY this means they hope
to control the oscillation of the cabins
and make sea voyages, a JOY to all.

Superstition Has Remained
Powerful in China

America yea its superstitiOns apOl
ogetically. The Chinaman is prouf
of his; they are his encyclopedia
social guide ana legal adviser rollet
into one. Feng Shut is the Chinese
creed of superstition. Feng Shut, OF
wind and water, is q combination OF
two mysterious and powerful elements.
the azure dragon and the white tiger,
which must meet at an angle for ia
vorable conditions to prevail. Even
when lucidly and c%opiously explained
Feng Shut remains a shrouded mys-
terry.
To the C%hinaman, Feng Shut Is the
great thing in life. Following it's COM
mands he warily avoids chances of Ill
luck. When he builds a house he places
the windows at various angles in or
der to confuse the evil spirits who may
try tO get in. When his neighbOr
builds q house he watches proceed
ines, and if the structure shows signs
of becoming higher than his own he
voices a protest on the plea that the
good spirits who have been hOnOring
his household with visits will be IN
able to find their way over a project
ing oof top. Strangely enough, these
arguments are proposed and received
with dignity, and unless the offender
can mir of some apt retOrt to show
that he is not doing injury to his
neighbor, he usually complies with the
request.
The complications of Feng Shut are
quite beyond the western mind. 1t is
doubtful whether the Chinese under
stand the mystic symbols and portents
about which they so seriously ant
gliblv heir belief in the
power of Feng - IS, however, I'm
disputable. Imagine an American de
Gliding whether to get married, wheth
er to ave an aching tooth pulled o.
where to plant a rose bush by con
sulting the direction of the wind ant
taking the sign seriously, and yo'
have some idea of the Chinese guild
ing rule in life.

Whv Quail Should Be Protected.

The most expensive meat in Amer
lea is that of the quail. The price OF
the bird may be moderate enough, u
the loss caused by killing it is another
matter.
Competent authorities estimate that
each quail is worth from $40 to S2o to
the American farmer as a destroyer OF
insects and devourer of weed seeds.
This is particularly true in those
parts of the South afflicted by the boil
weevil. Quails are a fond of weevils
as weevils are of cotton, and
than one farmer has noticed that when
his fields are we'll stocked with quail
the cotton crop is safe.
There is liable to be some very
vigorous game preserving in Dixie on
economic grounds rather than for
sport, during the next dozen years.

CLAUD.

Again WE are called upon to
chronicle the death of another es.
teemed citizen. The great call
came to our beloved brother, J
M. Wilson, November %. His
death was not unexpected, yet it
has cast pail of gloom and sad
ness over the community and
brought to those who knew him
l:the consciousness that in the pass
ing away of Mr.. Wilson they lose
valued friend.
Brother Wilson had many warm
friends not only in the community
ia which he lived, but scattered
over a large portion of the county,
He was man who stood for high
moral principles, and in his pass
ing from the realm of probation
the Church of Jesus Christ loses
an ardent devotee, both in service
and financial support. He was a
leader in moral and religious is
sues and will be hard to duplicate.
He was a man who was always
ready to aid in any worthy cause.
For years he lived only a few
yardsaw from the church ct Har-
mop Greek, where he was regular
attendant at Sunday school and
other services, always leading and
encouraging the young to give
their best to the service of the
Master, and we are wondering, in
the face of the consciousness of bis
great leadership, who will take bis
place and say as he did, Come
boys, let us go into worship
He leaves wife, son, several
grandchildren and a great number
of friends to experience the pain
ful consciousness of good friend
gone away to return no more. But
