Cures Coughs
After Ordinary Preparations
Fail—Wonderful New Mix-
ture Made at Home.
An investigating chemist of national
reputation just recently discovered in
a compound known to the medical
world as essence menthelaxene a
most wonderful virtue as a curative
laxative cough syrup and the best
part of it is it can be made at home
about 8 timeb cheaper than one can
buy labeled cough syrups. It immedi
ately relieves the severest cases of
asthma bronchitis coughs and chronic
colds on the lungs and it effects a
cure too because it has a laxative
action when 8 to 16 doses are taken
daily. In very short order it will
loosen the tightest cough and one can
feel it '‘taking hold" in its curative
action. Obtain of the druggist er have
him order from wholesale firm 2to
ounces essence menthu-laxene. Empty It
into a pint bottle. Make a syrup with a
pint of sugar and a half pint of boil-
ing water stir and let cool. Then fill
up the bottle with syrup shake well
and take a teaspoonful 8 to 10 times
daily or as needed. Give children less
according to age. It is very pleasant
to take.

I Tone Up the Hair
From Root to Tip
(Mrs. Rohrer in Style and Fashion.)
“Many women cannot wash the head
for reasons of health —all find it In-
convenient to do so at times. These
can prepare a shampoo powder at
home that will make the hair clean
fresh and glossy.
“Mix four ounces of therox -with
four ounces of orris root. Sprlnjtle a
little of this mixture on the head once
a week and brush it thoroughly
through the hair. It is particularly
good to use when the hair is dusty
dull or greasy and no other shampoo
or tonic is necessary.
"Therox has beneficial properties
that make the hair grow and preserve
its natural color. A shampoo powder
made as above has a delicate perfume
and makes the hair beautifully soft
and fluffy. It is non-greasy refresh-
ing and revitalizing."

THURSDAY
BIG FAIR 11
NOT GF HELD
Directors Say $50000 Talk Is
No Bluff and That Amount
Must Be Subscribed.
Notwithstanding the great amount
of optimistic talk indulged in. there Is
really some doubt as to whether the
annual International Fair will be held
this year. The directors have stated
that they would put on the fair as
usual this year if the $50000 asked
is subscribed. Not nearly all of this
amount has been pledged as yet al-
though some of the most influential
men of the city have been actively
conducting a personal campaign to
raise the amount. It was hoped by the
directors that at the end of this week
the full amount would be subscribed.
It probably will not be.
"The idea apears to prevail.” said
one of the directors this morning
"that the talk about not giving the
fair if the money is not subscribed
was a bluff. It is not a bluff. We
mean it. If the people of this town
want an international fair this year
they will have to produce enough
money to pay off a part of the debts
and then have enough left over to
build the first part of an exposition
hall out there. If money enough for
this that is $50000 is subscribed the
fair will be held. If not the same
action will be taken by the Interna-
tional Fair association as was taken
by the Horse Show association. The
Horse Show association voted not to
hold a show this year.”

HOUSTON ST.
UNSPRINKLED
Merchants Complain as Wind
Whirls Dust But No Attention
Given By Street Department.
Now that the charter election is
over the hombres and even some of
the widows are getting walking pa-
pers. The city has no more money
to pay them with—so it is claimed.
The latest thing to be dispensed with
Is street sprinkling on Houston
street.
As It was windy today the absence
of the Houston street sprinkling
wagons was very noticeable. The
gusts and whirlwinds gathered clouds
of straw dirt litter of all kinds and
blew it into the eyes of passers-by
and into the stores. This latter nuis-
ance Is serious and costly along a
business street like Houston.
Like other city machinery the
sprinkling wagon privilege is given
out to bartenders storekeepers and
other favorites —even to women.
These In turn hire the Mexicans who
do the work. The city pays $3 a day
or more and the hombre gets 80
cents or more per day by the month.
So the abolition of one sprinkling
cart may be felt tn more than one
family. But the election is over and
there is no further use for votes un-
til May.
SPLIT IN RANKS OF
PROS IS WIDENED
Special Dispatch.
Afctln. Tex. Feb. 16—A further
split in the ranks of the pros occur-
red this morning when Senator Per-
kins called up the quart law pro-
hibiting the drinking on the premises
and the sale of liquor in greater
quantltes than one quart for the pur-
pose of setting it for consideration to-
morrow.
The majority of the antis voted to
have the bill set but Cofer and
Vaughan and other pro leaders voted
against setting the bill as such a
motion required a four-fifths vote.
"You will have a hard time ex-
plaining that to the prohibitionists.’
said Perkins.
"I will explain it by saying the sen-
ator from Collin (Perkins) made the
motion." said Cofer.
The pro leaders still regard Senator
Perkins as a deserter to their cause.
The pros kept several other bills front
being set. They want the calendar of
bills considered in the regular order.

Each Day.
Baltimore Md. Feb. 14.—Henry
Norman Crist arrested for non-sup-

town."
According to Mrs. Crist her hus-

half in eating and the other hour
and a half In visiting.
Asked whether he would accept a
position in picking flowers of a cen-
tury plant. Crist replied to Magis-
trate O'Neill: “I suppose I would if
it's a light lob." Ho thought it was
too laborious work to serve on a jury
and “ too strenuous to catch fish.”

man simply has to lie to his wife.”
"That isn't the worst of it. There
are times when he can't get out of
tell'ng her the truth." - —Cleveland

“Why don't you give her Vinol?”

nostrum just a simple and delicious
cod liver and iron tonic—and the best
strength creator and general all round
tonic we have ever sold in our store.
Take a bottle home and try it. We'll
return your money if it does not help
her.”
Within ten dass the father came
back tor another bottle of Vinol. say-
ing that fie had never seen such a
change in a girl in his life and he
felt sure one more bottle of Vinol
would restore her to ther normal con-
dition.”
