mother has been using Duffy's Pure

me tell you that she felt its strength-
ening effects at once. We know’ that
it has done her a great deal of good.
She is 114 years of age and needs
something to sustain her strength.
She thinks it is a great stimulant and
no old person should be without it.
I myself know what she says about
your medicine is the truth.”
These letters and interviews are convincing and forceful truths
about the world’s greatest body builder and renewer of youth.
Men and women in all walks of life testify as these women have

LINE NEXT WEEK
Turns Over Estate as "Guaran-
tee to Build It —Not Fighting
San Antonio Project. \
"I expect tlie laying of rails to be-
gin next week. I have been waiting
on the Southern Pacific and the I. &
G. N. to put in their sidings but faild
tire to do this has delayed my
two months. I have already graded
the line for these roads to put in their
sidings. My contract calls for the
completion of the road by June 1 and
I expect the road to be in operation
by that time.”
So said Dr. C. E. Simmons at the
Menger hotel 'this afternoon in regard
to the railroad which he is building
from Macdona to Simmons City a dis.
tance of about 70 miles. Dr. Simmons
stated that material is here waiting
for work to begin.
Dr. Simmons has just returned from
St. Louis where he has turned his es-
tate over to the St. Louis Union Trust
company he said for the building of
the road in the event of his death. He
has just recovered from an illness and
says the road will be built whether he
lives or dies.
Here for Conference.
“I have a forfeit of $300000 up that
I will build this road and I am surely
not going to forfeit this by not build-
ing tne road” said Dr. Simmons. "I
don’t want to be placed in the attitude
of fighting San Antonio with my rail-
road proposition for I am not. It is
a busines proposition with me and
I must build the road.”
Dr. Simmons is now conferring with
land judges who represent the states
of Oklahoma Missisippl Kansas Lou
isiana and Nebraska and were ap-
pointed by the governors of these
states to indicate to the surveyors the
tracts of land through which
is to run. There is also a land judge
in Texas. He is County Judge J.
Frank Burmeister of McMullin coun-
ty but he is not in the city.
Dr. Simmons stated that two ship-
loads of steel rails are to leave Bos-
ton in the next day or two and that
eight carloads of spikes and bolts are
on the way here. The first thousand
telegraph poles are on the way here
from Texarkana all creosoted. One
hundred thousand ties are being load-
ed and between 20.000 and 30000 ties
are on the ground.
“Mr. c. N. Kight who has been
working tinder Judge J. O. Terrell
getting the right-of-way and bonuses
for the road reported to me that he
has about completed his work” said
Dr. Simmons.
THIEVES GET DRESSES

Two men who entered the dry
goods and grocery store f of Andrew
Meyer on South Laredo street late
yesterday afternoon succeeded in
stealing two dresses one valued at
$l5 and the other at $B w’hile the uw-
prietor was within a few feet of them.
Mr. Meyer has furnished the officers
with a description of the men. but as
yet no trace of them has been found
the men turned the trick when Mr.
Meyer turned to wait on a woman
who entered the store and while hfs
back was turned the men took the
dresses and left.
SCALPED GIRL IMPROVES.
Miss Margaret Watson who was al-
most scalped when her hair caught in

tive organs causing a lack of gastje
juice. Your food sours is only half di-
gested and you become affected with
loss of appetite pressure and fullness
after eating burning sensation a feel-
ing of vomiting heartburn water
brash and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach slimy tongue bad taste in
the mouth constipation nausea belch-
ing of gas dizziness sick headaches
mental depression and many other
common symptoms.
You can cure all this by .not eating
by not putting any food ini’your stom-
ach to ferment; but hov/ about the
nourishment needed to .Sustain your
bodily strength? If yoq are a stom-

A VALUABLE KIDNEY TEST.
Any One Can Do It And Tell if His
Kidneys Are Healthy.
It’s well known among doctors but
perhaps not generally among other
people that three-quarters of all dis-
eases attack the kidneys and that the
urine is an absolutely perfect barom-
eter of the conditions of the kid-
neys.
Let some morning urine stand in a
glass or light-colored bottle for twenty-
four hours and if it becomes cloudy
or particles float about in it or if a
reddish-brown sediment forms you
can depend upon it your kidneys are
iu a serious condition utterly unable
to do their work and if left to run
along without proper treatment
Bright’s gravel uric acid
blood poisoning with death in terrible
agony will surely follow.
The [remedy that leading doctors
and hospitals have been using for fifty
years with such splendid success in all
diseases of kidneys liver bladder and
blood is Warner’s Safe Cure.
Made of pure herbs and containing
no opium morphine or dangerous
drugs generally found in so-called kid-
ney cures. Safe. Cure leaves no bad
after effects. It quickly drives out the
disease germs soothes the Inflamma-
tion aud heals the delicate organs
restoring them to their original con-
dition of perfect health.
Don’t neglect your kidneys for even
one day—it's too dangerous. Get a bot-
tle 6f Safe Cure at nearest drug-
gists. Two sizes 50c. and $1 a bottle.
