THAT SAN ANTONIO GANG.
wm -
The better element of people
Emghont Texas are taking special
ice of the big movement on at San
Antonio to put the criminal gang of
city out of business, and an are
. hoping that the influences at work
will bring about the conditions they
are striving to obtain. The San An-
tonio gang has been notorious for
laany years, rfnd( for a long time seem-
ed to have the situation in hand until
the better people, the people who be-
lieved in law and decency, were un-
able to break tWir power. But the
City is thoroughly stirred now, thanks
to the head of the United States army
located in San Antonio, and when
the present fight is over the immoral
forces will be completely broken.
And it will be a great victory for San
- ■ ~z-' .- *
Antonio. The Herald hopes the fight
will go through to a finish, and it will.

The “This Reminds Me” Club has
been in continuous session ever since
the big snow fell, and they are estab-
lishing a Dew high record as plain and
fancy liars.
the only , difference being wide pub-
licity given to such cases, because of
the recent enactment of prohibition in
this county. It is how a matter of
congratulation to evew good citizen
of Dallas that they can travel on her
street cars*or interurbans and her
splendid thoroughfares without com-
ing in contact with mauldlin drunk-
enness on every side.
Concerning bawdy bouses the re-
port notes that many immoral women
went elsewhere when prohibition be-
came effective.1
We have thus quoted liberally from
this report in order that our readers
may file for future use the gratifying
facts therein contained. These facts';
it will be noted, did not occur in some
far-away state nor are they recited by
partisan advocates of .prohibition, but
they occurred right under our own
eyes and are attested by a body of men
sworn to investigate and report the
whole truth and noticing but, the
truth.—Texas Christian Advocate.
REMARKABLE EFFECTS OF PRO-
HIBITION IN DALLAS COUNTY.
In our issue of January 3rd we in-
troduced the Dallas Evening Journal
and Judge Bennett Hill, judge of the
corporation court, and witnesses to
the fine effects of prohibition: in the
city and cdunty of Dalla§. WTe now in-
troduce a more imposing witness—the
Dallas County Grand Jury.
This jury was impaneled October
1st, twenty days before local option
went into effect in Dallas county.
There is every evidence that this jury
has made a careful survey of all mat-
ters usually committed to such bodies.
Concerning the effect of local op-
tion on the decrease of crime the jury
says: . '
. Since prohibition went into effect
ih this county the decrease in crime
in all of its different grades is truly
marvelous: The number of prisoners
in the city and county jails, compared
with one year ago, is most remarka-
TO ESCAPE PNEUMONIA.
ble. in the city dTHfiks agd others de-
tained have been reduced more than
one-half, while in the county jail there
is a reduction ol not less than 30 per
cent. ...
This difference also in our convict*
camps is so marked that some of the
camps have not as many prisoners as
they have guards. Under these condi-
tions, and in order that the county
may not be burdened ^*ith the ex-
pense of keeping useless, guards,
teams and machinery, we recommend
that a part of ou'r camps be discon-
tinued, their equipments be sold and
the proceeds be placed to th©\ coun-
ty’s credit, and that the remaining
camps take charge of the few prison-
ers which are found in them at this
time. ■ ;.; •. ...vf
The criminal district attorney antf-
his office force have given us faith-
ful and efficient service.
Concerning bootlegging the report
says:
There is no evidence that those who
formerly kept the open saloons have
any connection whatever with the
present violations of our local option
law; moreover, we find that a large
per cent of those who have been found
guilty of bootlegging since prohibi-
tion went into effect were engaged in
the business more or less pridr to the
time the saloons were closed. This
being true, we doubt whether there
are any more sales of whiskey in Dal-
las In violation of law than in cities
of the same size with open saloons.
The Sun has no personal acquaint-
ance with H. Addington Booth. We i
have met him only once. That was j
through the . medium of* the Waco ’
Morning News. Mr. Booth, or perhaps
we should refer to him as Doctor
Booth, was talking very earnestly. To
the Sun it seemed that he was saying
some very fine things on a highly im-
portant question in which all of us
are always interested, that is to say,
life and health, or health and life, as
you my prefer to write or speak it.
The Sun thinks v»'e should give Dr.
Addington Booth a hearing. Here is
what he was saying when we met him
in the Waco News:
The pneumonia season is once more
under full swing. Already this dread
disease has claimed thousands of vic-
tims. There is every reason to fear
that it will claim thousands more be-
fore balmy springtime puts it to flight.
To lfessen the danger that you will
be one* of those seized in its deadly
grasp there are certain precautions
you should take—precautions that will
virtually guarantee you immunity
against pneumonia. . ...j
In the first place, and of chief im-
portance, avoid excesses of every
kind. . /
Practice temperance in eating,
| drinking, working and playing. Make
moderation your rule in all things.
The man who clogs his system by'
overeating, who poisons himself with
alcohol, tea, coffee or other stimu-
lants, who works or plays to exhaus-
tion, is precisely the man most like-
ly to find himself laid low byv pneu-
. ■- >/t-
monik. •
Avoid excesses, avoid late hours
likewise. Get plenty of sleep e\ ery
night. And while sleeping, lot- p’enty
of fresh air in the bedroom.
Good . fresh air will never give you
pneumonia. On the coP.-ary, the
.pneumonia germ thrives where there
is poor ventilation. That is wny street
cars, churches, theatres, .stores, etc..
' often are danger^pots during the
pneumonia season.
Keep out of these as much as you
can, particularly if fatigued. In fact,
as far as possible make it a rule to
go into no crowded place when tired.
In crowded places it always is dif-
ficult to get ample ventilation. Be-
sides. where there are crowds there
is increased likelihood of parumouia
germs being in the air you breathe.
These germs, remembw. arf let

clothing so heavy’as to set you in a

Walk at least two miles every day
briskly with chest out and head UP,
Make it four miles if you can spare
the time, • • -i s.
Walking is one of the best forms of
■exercise, and to take exercise every
day is one of the simpliest and surest
means of safeguarding against pneu-.
.monia.
But don’f force yourself to exercise j
when tired. Don’t eat when tired.
And don’t do any real nard thinking
when tired.
At all times try to conquer any ten-
dency to worry.
| Worry means physical as well as
j mental exhaustion. It is a depressant
| that acts on the entire bodily system,
lowering the physical vitality to a
dangerous degree.
And the secret of successful ward-
ing off pneumonia is to keep jthe vital-
ity up to the highest point possible, j
Bear this well in mind.
Everything that reduces your bodi-
ly vigor is an ally of pneumonia.
Everything that makesayou more vig-
orous is your ally and pneumonia's
4nemy.—Ccfrsicaitid Sun.
