Mothers who cling to the old

revolt is well-founded. Their ten-

by them.
If your child’s stomach, liver

but gentle. Millions of mothers
keep their harmless “fruit laxa-

to clean the liver and bowels and
sweeten the stomach, and that a

Are You One of Them?
There are a great many people
who would be very much benefit-
ed by taking Chamberlain’s Tab-
lets for a weak or disordered
stomach. Ate you one of them!
Mrs. M. IL Searl, Baldwinsville,
N. Y., relates her experience in
th<‘ use of these tablets: “I had a
bad spell with my stomach about
six months ago, and was troubled
for two or three weeks with gas
and severe pains in the pit of my
stomach. Our druggist advised
me to take Chamberlain's Tablets.
I took a bottle home and the first
dose relieved me wonderfully,
ami I kept on taking them until I
was cured.” These tablets do not
relieve pain, but after the pain
has been relieved may prevent its
recurrence.

closed session or executive ses-
sion, nnd none but members of the
Union will participate in the pro-
ceedings. The second day has been
designated as Ballinger’s day,

furnish prominent speakers. The
local committee is sending out in-

The latest report from the sec-
retary of the union says that
there will be three or four hun-
dred delegates here in attendance
upon the meeting and in addition
to these it is ........ted that a

said.

Dr. Bizzell, president of the A.
& M. College, gave out a state-
ment while in Dallas this week
concerning the plans of the new
college to be built at Abilene, pro-
vided the court does not block the
recent decision of the locating
commission. The Dallas News pub-
lished the statement given out by
Dr. Bizzell, ami says:
The West Texas Agricultural
and Mechanical College to be es-
tablished at Abilene will be a cav-
alry institution of the first class,
Dr. W. B. Bizzell, president of the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col-
lege of Texas, said yesterday in
the first authorized statement re-
garding bis plans for the future of
the school. Dr. Bizzell, by virtue
of his presidency of the Texas
Agricultural and Mechanical Col-
lege, will be president of the
West Texas school. The Texas A.
A' M. hoard will be the governing
board of the new college.

cient in the teaching of the mount-
ed soldiers as the Texas A. A: M. is
in the infantry branch. The high
altitude of Abilene will be condu-
cive to the rearing of horses. A
feeding and breeding station will
be maintained at the school.
The entire appropriation of
$50(1,0(10 carried in the West Tex-
as A. & M. hill as passed by the
Thirty Fifth Legislature will be
spent in the construction of
buildings. Dr. Bizzell said he hop-
es to have work on the buildings
under way within a short time.
Before contracts are let, however,
an expert landscape engineer will
make a detailed study of the Abi-
lene site ami his recommendations
will be followed, Dr. Bizzell said.
The entire plant of the school is
to be constructed upon a definite
and well-laid plan, the same style
of architecture being followed ami
materials, harmonizing in all the
buildings, will be used.
“The administrative building
will be an imposing structure,”
said Dr. Bizzell. ’‘It will be am-
ple and sufficiently large to take
••are of the administrative offices
and needs of tin* college for all
time. The Abilene site furnishes a
very beautiful eminence, com-
manding the surrounding country,
for the location of the administra-
tivc building.
“Grouped at the extreme wings
of the administrative building
will be two quadrangles.
“(hie of them will be for the ac-
commodation of the agricultural,
including animal husbandry, live
stock, dry farming and related in-
dustries building. The other
quadrangle will be the engineer
ing group. Especial emphasis will
be laid on hydraulics and engin-
eering problems connected with ir
rigation ami agricultural engineer
ing.
“About 50(1 acres will be set fl-
part for the drill grounds. This .................Ir.
large area is to accommodate thejturned to his home in Brownwood

partment of the college will em-
phasize cavalry training.”
Dr. Bizzell has let it be known
to his- friends that lie looks upon
the planning of the new school as
