tbonld never fail to take this tried and true women's medicine.
Mrs. L. Labsok’s statement proves our claims; she says: "I suffered
for many years with woman’s weakness and kidney trouble. I would have
dreadful backaches and pains through my side and stomach. I became very
weak and nervous could not sleep nor eat. I would have fainting spell’s
and would fall right over. My doctor did not seem to be able to give me
anv relief and finally told me nothing but an operation would help me—this
I did not want. I began at once taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
and this medicine restored me to good health which I am still enjoying to
thia day.”
This prescription of Dr. Pierce’s extracted from roots and herbs is a
temperance remedy. Ingredients printed on package.
To get rid of irregularities or catarrhal conditions to avoid pain at cer-
tain times to overcome irritability and weaknesses waste no time but get Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription in liquid or tablet form this very day; or write

MILLIKEN HIS
NOPUNSYET
FORS.H.U.&G.
St. Louis Banker Comes to
Make Tour of Inspection
Over Road.
GOES TO COAST FIRST
"Belief in the Future of
Southwest Texas Un-
bounded” He Says.
John T. Milliken the St. Louis
banker who now holds the stock and
bonds of the San Antonio Uvalde &
Gulf railroad is making a tour of
inspection of the lines he thus con-
trols with a view of determining his
future plans regarding the property.
Mr. Milliken's purchase of the stocks
and bonds is contingent upon a 90-
day option which will expire March
15 and not until then will it be defi-
nitely known whether he is to take
over actual possession of the road or
whether it will be retained by the
former owners. Meanwhile the road
is being operated under the direction
of A. R. Ponder the receiver.
Mr. Milliken arrived from St. Louis
Thursday night on the Sunshine
Special and was registered at the St.
Anthony hotel. In company with
Mr. Ponder and other officials of
the San Antonio Uvalde & Gulf he
left at 10:30 o'clock Friday morning
for Corpus Christi and from there
will proceed to Raymondville in the
Rio Grande valley where he recently
has acquired some property. It is
his plan to return to San Antonio
Sunday when he will again go out
over the San Antonio Uvalde & Gulf
this time proceeding over the west-
ern branch by the way of Crystal
City to Uvalde.
Believes in Southwest Texas.
“My belief in the future of South-
west Texas is .unbounded” said Mr.
Milliken when seen Friday morning
in Mr Ponder's office “and I feel
that the development of the last few
years great though it has been is
but the start. I am convinced that
the greatest gas field in the world is
located near Corpus Christi and it
seems to me your business men ir
they are not already doing so should
be investigating the proposition or
having it piped here.
“The time is not far distant when
the situation in Mexico must be
cleared up. This is bound to happen
one way or another and that means
that the great mineral resources of
that utterly undeveloped country will
begin to seek an outlet. There is no
fuel in the world like natural gas
for smelting purposes and when the
time comes I firmly believe that San
Antonio will be the center for a se-
ries of great industries. The only
question then will be whether your
water supply is sufficient to accom-
modate the drain which will then
be made upon It.
Interview About Fair.
•*I was here last year” he con-
tinued with a twinkle in his eye “and
I got a lot of hard knocks because
of an interview J had ‘in The Light.
They were then agitating the ques-
tion of a big fair and I said then
that it seemed to me it would be
more sensible to develop the indus-
tries and establish a stable ground
for prosperity. I know this that no
city of my knowledge has ever had
one of these big expositions that it
didn’t have occasion to regret it aft-
erwards.”
“Have you any plans for the fu-
ture of the road?” Mr. Milliken was
asked.
“No not at present” he replied.
“You see my connection with this
railroad is subject to an option
which I gave and which expires on
March 15. That arose out of my
purchase of some $lOOOOO worth of
paper which had been held by the
National Bank of Commerce of
which I am a director. The bank
examiner insisted that we dispose
of that paper and it was advertised
for sale. I bought it but litigation
was started and this was only termi-
nated when 1 offered to give the op-
tion.
“So you see I cannot make any
plans because it is yet to be deter-
mined whether the road is to be re-
tained by me or not. This much is
certain if T do not retain the road
nothing will be done without consul-
tation with Mr. Ponder.”

“I OHEADED THE VERY

San Antonio Man Suffered
Terribly With Rheumatism
for Year or More.
"I couldn't ask for better results
than I've Rotten from Tanlac so far
and you may bo sure it it wasn't
doing me good I wouldn’t be in here
now buying more of it" said Emil
Fischer foreman of the Bottling
Works and living at 1102 Mesquite
street to tlse Tanlac representative
in Wagner's Drug Store a few
days ago.
"For a year or more" continued
Mr. Fischer "I suffered from rheu-
matism and painful disordered kid-
neys. and could find nothing to give
me any relief. My legs hurt me so
bad 1 couldn’t bend and stoop
about without suffering agony. My
back ached and my kidneys dis-
turbed me so at nights that I
could never get any sound sleep or
rest. My appetite was no good and
I often had severe headaches. My
food never tasted right and would
sour and ferment into gas on my
stomach and kept me feeling mis-
erable for hours after eating. I lost
weight continually I was away off
in strength and my energy was all
leaving me. I got to where I nev-
er felt like getting up in the morn-
ing and when I did get up I dread-
ed the thought of going to my work
because when I would bend and
stoop around my legs hurt me
terribly. 1 was easily tired and it
was with great effort that I man-
aged to keep going and give my
business the proper attention.
“Since taking Tanlac I have
gained several pounds in weight
and I don't have any more head-
aches. My legs and back have
stopped hurting and my kidneys
don't bother me like they did
and I get good sound restful
sleep every night. My appetite is
fine and my food tastes like it
should and I don't have the gas
on my stomach or any other bad
feelings after eating. My strength
and energy have been restored
and 1 feel like my old self again.
I can now bend about with ease
and do my work without feeling
all tired out. I think Tanlac is
great and I'm glad to recommend it
for what it has done for me."
Such statements as the foregoing
should appeal very forcibly to the
thousands that suffer from the same
troubles. Most people who suf-
fer from nervousness and dizzi-
ness. stomach and liver troubles
kidney derangements and who are
in a general run-down condition
simply need something to tone up
their system and to assist the vital
organs in performing their proper
functions. Tanlac is a wonderful
reconstructive and always produces
most gratifying results.
Tanlac is sold in San Antonio by
Wagner Drug Co. and E. J. 11.
Meier under the personal direction
of the special Tanlac representative.

DISINFECTING PLANT
OPENS AT EAGLE PASS
Mexicans Complain Strenu-
ously at Quarantine Regu-
lations Being Enforced.
EAGLE PASS Tex. Jan. 26.—
Loud and vigorous complaints are
being heard from the Mexican side
of the river on account of the en-
forcement of quarantine regulations
and the operation of the govern-
ment bathing and disinfecting plant'
which was opened in Eagle Pass
Monday. This plant has been un-
der construction for some time but
the building was only ready for oc-
cupancy Monday when it opened
full blast much to the disgust of
many from Piedras Negras.
The quarantine guardhouse is lo-
cated at the American end of the
international bridge and the inspec-
tors compel each person not bear-
fhg a I- th certificate to go to the
bathhou e or return to Mexico
whether they are carrying baggage
or i <' Fpon arrival at the plant
the persons to be disinfected are di-
vested of their clothing which is
plated in a large wire basket and
lolled into a steel cylinder about
4x7 feet which is then sealed and
live steam turned into it until the
pressure reaches about twenty
pounds and the temperature rises
to around the 200 mark.
The clothing is left in this heat for
about twenty minutes when the
steam is drawn out and a vacuum
created. After another twenty min-
utes the clothing is removed per-
fectly sterile and free of all insect*
life.
While the clothing is being treated
in this manner the owner is under-
going an operation just as effective
but not quite so strenuous. He is
first thoroughly sponged with pure
gasoline then is furnished a mix-
ture of liquid soap and gasoline and
turned into the shower baths which
are equipped witli hot and cold
water. After the bath everybody is
inspected by Dr. Hume of the pub-
lic health service vaccinated dress-
ed and permitted to leave if a local
resident but if a newcomer he goes

ANNOUNCEMENT!
We are pleased to announce that we have taken over the 500 High-
land Park lots formerly owned by L. P. Peck and the Highland Park Co.
These lots have been secured by us at a price that enables us to re-
duce prices from 25 per cent to 50 per cent less than formerly. These
Highland Park lots are going to be sold on terms of $l.OO $1.50 and
$2.00 weekly according to price—you will admit that these terms are
revolutionary for such high-grade property.
But—we must sell them—we can’t afford to hold this property for
big prices and in order to sell them and sell quick prices and terms
have been “chopped”—chopped to such an extent that Highland Park
lots are the real estate sensation of the day.
Highland Park Lots
$l.OO $1.50 and $2.00 Weekly
This is your first last and only chance to buy highly improved city
lots on “country lot terms.” Note some of our advantages:
Over $200000.00 has been spent in improvements alone in this beau-
tiful addition!
We have gas city water sewers electric lights fire plugs sidewalks
direct street car service—the Highland Park line —and last but not least
city mail delivery.
Two hundred beautiful homes are built and occupied on Highland
Park—with more under construction. There are no “shacks” at High-
land Park. 77$ .
One of the newest and most modern schools in the city occupies a
block in the center of Highland Park; —in fact this property has every-
thing that is desirable and is fast becoming one of the best residence sec-
tions of San Antonio.
Sale is now open—agents on ground—property office corner Wal-
ters and Rigsby Streets. Take Highland Park car direct to our property
office.
