SHOIIT ON STATISTICS.
The April number of the bulletin
issued by the State Board of Health
complains of lark of co-operation in
gathering inormation for compiling
mortuary statistics on the part of
doctors and city officials and regrets
its inability to build up the depart-
ment to a point of statistical effi-
ciency where the federal govern-
ment will recognize its tables.
Statistics an; the best index to the
progress and development of a coun-
try but the state of Texas has made
very little effort to gather data of
any sort apparently leaving that im-
portant field to I'ncle Sam and the
Commercial Secretaries.
In as much as it has never been
charge*} otherwise we are unable to
understand the nature of the call
that Is responsible for continued
declarations through the organs that
the honors recently conferred upon
Randell were not in the nature of a
political preferment. This activity at
this time would indicate that while
the friends of the north Texas gen-
tleman were considering the selec-
tion of Choice B. only in the nature
of a personal compliment there are
others of a heretic persuasion who
feel very much disgruntled at the
turn affairs in congress have taken.
All this makes us surmise that we
shall see what we shall see.
PKItPKTVATK CI.I W CP l>AY.
The State Board of Health is well
pleased with the results of "Clean
uy> day" and have decided lo povpet-
I uate it by making 1911 a clean up
| year and the bulletin has something
to say about the virions carelessness
of our neighbors.
Our state board of health is doing
some effective work for Texas and it
merits the co-operation of all good
citizens as well as a more liberal ap-
propriation from the thirty-second
legislatu re.
On last Friday the Texas delega-
tion in congress unanimously elect-
ed C. B. Randell as chairman of the
delegation. That night the tip came
probably from the upper house that
said action was a "reflection" on
somebody and so on Saturday the
matter was reconsidered and after a
long and bitter fight Randell was
again chosen chairman by a vote of
eight to six. which means that of the
fourteen present eight were for
Randell and six for Bailey. We are a
little anxious to see the list as they
lined up on that occasion.
While the cry is going up all over
Texas to "take the schools out of
politics" is a Rood time to considei
the selection of those men as trus-
ters at the ensuing May election who
will not allow their bias as politi-
cians to control to the detriment of
the public schools ( sing a trustee-
ship as one of the means for the pro-
moting of political schemes is not
calculated to recommend a man for
faithful service.

j PROCLAMATION MARK
FOR MOTRKRS' DAY
With Due R«*s|»cct to Requests Made
by Citizens May I I Is Offi-
cially Set Apart.
Austin. Texas. April 17 —The fol-
loving is the Governor's Mothers
Day proclamation:
"It has been suggested that Sun-
day the 14th of May. be designated
throughout the state of Texas as
Mothers' Day and the Governor of
Texas has been asked to issue his
proclamation recommending its ob-
servance as such throughout the
Com mon wealth.
'• 'Mother' is the sweetest word |n
the English language: she is the
sweetest and dearest friend to all
the human race. On this Good Fri-
day 1 am reminded that she was
the last at the Cross and the first
at the tomb of the Redeemer. As
we go about our daily labors if we
accomplish them with honor and
credit to ourselves we always have
the smiles encouragement and plau-
dits of mother. If we meet with
misfortune or fall in error and sin.
she is the first to come to our res-
cue with sympathy and love; in sick-
ness she bathes our fevered brow
watches over us through the vigil?
of the night and encourages us to
hope with a mother's kiss; in death
she showers her heart's tears of love
upon us; in our wrong-doings she
forgets our injustice to her and
pours out her soul of love sympathy.
We can uot honor 'Mother' too
much. It was at her knee that we
'learned the great principles of
truth and justice.
''The following written by a tramp
is not out of place in this proclama-
tion :
"Near the campf ire's flickering light
In my bl.twket bed I lie.
Gazing through the shades of night
At the twinkling stars on high;
O'er the spirits in the air
Silent vigils seem to keep.
As I breathe my childhood s prayer
"Now I lay me down to sleep."
Sadly sings the whlppoorwlll
In the bows of yonder tree;
Laughingly the mountain rill
Swells the midnight melody.
Foemen may be lurking near.
In the canon dark and dfeep:
Lo. I breathe on Jesus' ear.
"I pray thee Lord my soul to
keep."
Mid the stars one face I see—
One the Savior called away
Mother who in infancy
Taught mv baby lips to pray.
Her sweet spirit hovers near.
In tHe lonely mountain brake.
Take me to her. Savior dear.
"If 1 should d\i- before I wake."
Fainter grows the flickering light.
As each ember slowly dies:
Plaintively the birds at night
Fill the air with saddened crfos;
Over me they seem to cry
You may never more awake;
Lo I lisp if I should die
"I pray thee Lord my soul to
take "
Now I lay me down to sleep
) pray thfe. Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
1 pray thee. Lord my soul to
take."

ings. and let us show our apprecia-
tion by wearing a sweet flower—the

TEXAS IS SECOND PLACE
III Ml BUILDING WORK
New York Only State fluM Lead
TV.xhs in S|H*mling Money 011
the Public Highways.
Activities in road building in the
state of Texas last year took second
place in the I'nited States New York
being: the only state that spent more
money for highways. In that state
$8000000 was expended in perma-
nent road building. Texas came sec-
ond with $7000000 and this year
is planning to spend $15000000 in
road work. The report of highway
work in the various states in the
Union recently made public sets out
very clearly the fact that in the mat-
ter of road building the south is
taking the lead. Last year Georgia
spent $3000000 for road purposes
Virginia. $850000 North Carolina
$800000. West Virginia $1150000
and other states similar amounts.
There is. however significance in
the fact that Texas spent more money
for permanent highway work than
all the other southern states. In
no other state in the I'nion has per-
manent road building taken such a
thorough hold upon the people. The
farmer has taken to the automobile
as a means of rapid transit. This
emphasized the necessity of good
roads and this with the advanced
valuation that comes to lands as the
result of serviceable roads have made
the farmers of the state a unit for i
permanent highway building. Hun-
dreds of municipal districts have
voted bonds some of them as much
as $100000 for road building. It is
predicted that no state in the Union
will have better thoroughfares par-
ticularly in the matter of roads
across wide stretches of country
than Texas when present plans are
worked out.
Has Proved a
Great Surprise
It seems that Root Juice invaria-
bly proves a great and agreeable sur-
prise to those who have lost all con-
fidence in any kind of medicine as
many throughout the country who
were persuaded against their will to
try Root Juice are now as loud in
praise of it as anyone. Many of our
local people have tried Root Juice
for nervous weakness stomach trou-
bles. rheumatism «md kidney com-
plaints. and those who gave it a fair
trial seem eager to recommend it to
all who suffer as they did. The rem-
edy removes irritated i>nd sore con-
ditions from the inside linings of the
| stomach bowels aud bladder. It
heals an strengthens the liver and
kidneys and soon rids the system of I
uric acid and other poisons. The lo-
cal a gene jr is proud of the wonder-
ful merits of Root Juice and will
gladly tell all who are in leed of it
of much of the great good i is doing
here. Curlin Drug Co. j

MUM WORK SHOWING
GREAT dCTIVITY III TEXAS
A Company Recently Organized to
Build Line from San Antonio
to Rio Grande Valley.
Railroad building is showing
greater activity in Texas this year
than at any time in the past decade.
Recently a construction company
was organized with a paid up cash
capital of $50000 to build a road
from San Antonio to the lower Rio
Grande Valley. Work on this line
will begin in the next fifteen days.
A few days ago a charter was filed
with the Secretary of State incorpo-
rating another construction company
with paid up capital stock of $100-
<•00 to build a line from Aransas
Pass on the Gulf coast to Eagle Pass
on the Rio Grande river a distance
of more than 200 miles. The incor-
porators are A. W. Lilliendahl of
Saltillo. Mexico; R. H. Valentine of
Brooklyn New York; Robert P.
Coon of San Antoniy Texas; Lee
Frisbee of Beeville Texas: and Al-
bert Tolle. of San Antonio Texas.
The purpose of this company is to
build the road between tne points
named through almost the entire
length of the fertile Nueces valley.
The officers have not been selected
but it is certain Mr. Valentine will
be named as president. Mr. Lillien-
dahl has been working on the prop-
osition many months and has suc-
ceeded in interesting Mr. Valentine
in fanancing the undertaking. Mr.
Valentine recently came into a for-
tune appraised at $10000000 and
has become convinced that Texas
is the place to put a part of this
sum into operation. He is the prin-
cipal shareholder in the construction
company. Under the direction of
Lee Frisbee who has also been at
work on the proposition for a num-
ber of months several surveys have
been made but it is not determined
yet which will be followed. The
road will pass through San Patricio
county on the Gulf coast thence
through Bee Live Oak McMullen
LaSalle Dimmit and Maverick coun-
ties. This road will traverse one of
the most fertile beits in the world
partcularly the Nueces valley which
will soon be a rival in productiveness
for the now famous Lower Rio
(Irande valley. In addition to the
agricultural land of rare fertility
the road will pass directly east and
west through the vast lignite coal
fields natural gas and oil country
and near the famous kaoline beds
which exist in many places in the
territory named and will tap the
famous coal fields at Eagle Pass. It
is hoped to have this line in opera-
tion within eighteen months.
The Sound Sleep of Go<xl Health.
Can not be over estimated and
any ailment that prevents it is a me-
nace to health. J. L. Southers Eau
Claire Wis. says: "I have been un-
able to sleep soundly nights because
r>f pains across my back and sore-
ness of my kidneys. My appetite was
very poor and my general condition
was much run down. I have been
taking Foley Kidney Pills but a
short time and now sleep as sound as
;i rock my general condition is
greatly improved and 1 know that
Foley Kidney Pills have cured me."
