Meadames Maokay and Bel-
mont, two women in the million-
aire class in New York, are fight-
ing for control of the suffrage
movement. Getting into politics
before they can vote. They are
certainly going to show that they
arc qualified to vote.

A few days ago a heading in
a daily paper read: "Campbeell

it reads: "Campbell at Hunts-

laying for the new agricultural
building at the Sam Houston
Normal Institute.
Cone Johnson says Poindexter
is not a safe prohibitionist. Cone
has already demonstrated that he

May be Cone is judging other

Poindexter is liable to turn from
pro to anti as he himself turned
from anti to pro.

knew that in the Kast they meas-

dollar, but did not think they had
actually begun estimating their
human products by the pound
and the dollar. Well, perhaps
they are worth no more there
than the price they say. but there
are no scales fine enough to get
the weight of one of our Texas
babies; then, besides, with every
baby born in Texas goes a crown
of glory and a legacy of freedom
that they obtain nowhere else.—

WATER PROBLEM MASS
MEETING.
Entnis, Texas, Feb. 22.—A call
has been issued for a mass meet-
ing to be held at the city hall
here Thursday at 3. p. m. to de-
vise some plan by which the wa-
t?r in the two city lakes can be
reserved exclusively for the
Houston & Texas Central railroad
It is generally rumored that
Mexia has made the railroad com-
pany a tempting offer in the way
of a big cash bonus and plenty of
pure water if the company will
move its shops to that place. It
is believed that arrangements
cam be made to keep the shops
inl Ennis. !
The above item appeared in
one of the state dailies Wednes-
day and will prove of interest to
our readers. It shows what it
means to have plenty of water and
what it means not to have a
supply of the life giving fluid,
Mexia with her unlimited sup-
ply shoidd be able to land, not
only the Central shops, but other
enterprises as well, and with a
little get up and push on the
part of our people it is only a
question of a short time until we
could double our present popula-
tion.
A few men cannot push a
town along. It takes all to do
any real good. In the past wo
have brought public enterprises
hero and the same can be done
again.
And this would be a good year
to push. Prospects of a good
crop and other evidences oi pros-
perity ought to spur our people
up.
Let all get busy and push
Mexia to the front.

At the A. & M. College of Tex-
as, l)r. Mark Francis, professor
of veterinary science and surgery
and his associate Dr. R. P. Mar-
steller, have just concluded the
inoeulation of ;i lot of fine bred
c.iitle against Texas Fever. Sonn
of these came from the Taft
Ranch at Gregory, Texas, some
from the Santa (Jertrudis Ranch
near Kingsville and others belong

They included several kinds of
fine breeds, and some of the iridi

WE HAVE BEEN EDUCATING AND TRAINING YOUNG MEN for
the railway telegraph service for the past TWENTY TWO YEARS.
A large per cent of the telegraph operators in Texas and adjoining
states, who are receiving from $75 to $150 per month, got their start
through us, many of whom came from the farm, whose education was
limited to reading and writing.
TELEGRAPH OPERATING IS NOT DIFFICULT TO LEARN—It is
very simple, all practice. We will guarantee to teach any young
man, and place him in a position in from 3 to 5 months time.

THERE IS NOTHING that strikes terror to the
hearts of parents more than to be awakened in
the night by the ringing cough which accompanies
an attack of croup. The child may retire with
nothing but a slight cold and a few hours later the family
be aroused by the ominous symptoms. Every home where
there are small children should be prepared for these sud-
den attacks, as prompt treatment is necessary. Do not
experiment with remedies of doubtful value, but get
CHAMBERLAIN'S
COUGH REMEDY
that has been in use for nearly forty years and never known
to fail.
Mr. Homer Krolin, of Lisbon,
Iowa, in a letter to tile manufac-
turers of Chamberlain's Con<;h
Remedy praises thi< ineilieitie for
what it hiis "lone for his children.
He says: "It has not only saved
them once but many a time. Onlv
two weeks ago my hoy had the
rroup so had in the niiiht that had
it not been for havine l>ottlc of
Chamberlain's Cotiuh Remedy in
the house he would have choked
before a doctor could have gotten
to the house. It is a medicine that
no one should be without at anv
time." It is pleasant to take and
many children like it.
"We guarantee every 1>ottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,"
says W. M. Parish, I'almerston,
Ontario. "Out of the many littles
sold last winter not one was re-
turned. We recommend it espe-
cially for children with croup."
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
famous for its prompt cures of
coughs, colds and croup. When
given as soon as the child becomes
hoarse an attack of rroup may be
averted. This medicine is entirely
free from narcotics or injurious sub-
stances of any kind and may lie
given to the little ones with abso-
lute safety.
Attack* of croup are most likely to occur during the early
winter months, and every family with young children should
be prepared for it. Keep a bottle of CHAMBERLAIN'S
COUGH REMEDY in your home. It only cost* a quarter,
large size 50 cents. Your druggist sells it
