Mrs. R. M. Gannon writes to have
her Tribune changed from Houston
to Eagle Puss, where they will make
their home, tho professor being in
charge of a busnless college in that
city. Mrs. Gannon also says she will
visit friends in Bay City before going
to Eugle Pass.
If wo will all take things as they
come and work for the success of the
future of this grand old town we will
scute the rough places with all ease
and. once over, will wonder why we
ever entertained any forebodings. A
cheerful spirit works wonders.
Do not neglect the warning of na-
ture. If your appetite is poor, breath
bad, tongue coated, you will be sick
unless you take steps to put your sys-
tem In good condition. Prickly Ash
Bitters is tlie remedy you need. It
purifies the bowels, strengthens di-
gestion and regulates the liver. Price
$1.25 per bottle. Matagorda Phar-
macy, Special Agents.
A burning sensation in the throut
and chest means bad indigestion: and
digestive trouble is tho starting point
lor many serious diseases: particulur-
ly kidney disease. Better take Prickly
Asli Bitters and put your stomach and
digestion in sound condition before
serious trouble begins. Price $1.25
per bottle. Matagorda Pharmacy,

This weather is quite a relief from
the oppressive heat of the past few
weeks. Let us hope that the change
will ulso put a stop to the Incessant
rains which have wrought so much
damage.
Rice is soaring in price and there
Is a considerable scramble for it by
mills und other buyers. In other
words, the market is strong, the price
of the last few days being equal, al-
most to the highest prices ever paid.

Which Has
the Greater Appeal?
EVERY MONTH YOU PAY RENT MEANS YOUR
HOME IS THAT MUCH FARTHER AWAY
Don’t burden yourself with an elab-
orate plan of savings which you cannot hope
to carry out.
NEW EDISON
••rhf fh,<"tn>ph with • Stul"
You can own your own home if you’ll
learn to save small sums. No man in mod-
erate circumstances ever paid all cash, for
his home. Lay your foundation now by
saving regularly.
Start saving small sums—even as small
as a dollar a week. Learn to save system-
atically. Put your savings in War Savings
Stamps where they will earn interest as
you are adding to them.
A talking machine that reproduces
music in a cold mechanical way, or—
The only phonograph that two thou*
sand representative music critics say
Re-Creates music.
Music Re-Created by
is as real as the singing or playing of the
artists themselves. In fact, if you were
to hear the New Edison alongside the
artist, you could not distinguish one from
the other.
You cannot appreciate Mr. Edison’s
new phonograph until you have heard
it. Convince yourself that there is only
one phonograph that does actually Re-
Create music.
Convince yourself to-day!

The weather is bad and a great deal
of our crops have failed us. but we
must remember that the whole State
is in the same box. and realize that
it is our duty to make the best of till
conditions under any and all circum-
stances. Adversities come nil tlie
time, but many of us are prone to
look too much toward the dark side
when. In reality, that side is not near
so dark as we picture it in our mind's
eye. Let us look nt it this way:
Be sure to attend
service at the Methodist Church Sun-!

Afternoons of Gladness
Afternoons for housewife and afternoons for maids.
Afternoons for reading, for children, for sport, for visiting,
with a clean, bright, dustless house to be glad about.
Do you want such afternoons? If you do, you can have
them. Get a Torrington. Electric Vacuum Cleaner and
spend a few minutes, in the morning, letting it brush and
suck the litter and dirt off your floors and out of your rugs
and carpets.
If you have electrictiy in your house, use it. Five cents
a week lets it work for you. There is no excuse for tiring
yourself out when a telephone call to a dealer will bring a
Torrington into your house and open up your afternoons to
women’s widening interests..
