JOURS AND HOME
In the Merry Foolery, "(anting u Seed"
"One of the greatest garrisons in the
[ country, and the second lieutenants have
1 better quarters than 1 live in." said (ten.
K. Z. Stoever, commander of the Depart-
j ment of Texas, last night after his re-
j turn from headquarters and Fort Sum
j Houston. The General had somewhat of
I a busy day.
j In the forenoon he visited department
I headquarters, disposed of a lot of of-
! tidal communications, then met a com-
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce and
chatted with his guests for an ho1. . or
■ so, was the guest at luncheon of Major
| and Mrs. \V. S. Scott, and afterward
I drove all over Fort Sam Houston.
Last night the General saw the show
at the (truinl Opera House and this
j morning lie will return lo Fort Bliss, at
I Kl Paso. He will l>o there until Maj.-
! 4»en. Leonard Wood, chief of stalf of the
• Army, reaches the border. He will prob-
j ably coine as far East as San Antonio
j with General W ood.
GLAD TO 11 RET Til KM,
i believe it was understood," said the
General, "there would be nothing said
for publication concerning the visit of
some of your business men to Depart-
ment Headquarters. Needless to say. I
t was mighty glad to meet all of ' the
' gentlemen in the party and our visit was
, pleasant. We chatted of a number of
i things. Beyond that, there is nothing
1 more to be said."
In this connection, it is expected that
when General Wood comes to town a
reception will be given in both his and
Genera I 8 tee vers honor. Just when this
will be is indefinite at this time. No day
has been set for the arrival of General
Wood in Sail Antonio, nor has there
been any intimation of how long he will
be in the city.
Discussing other things, General
Steever said Fort Sam Houston was one
"t the finest plants the army lias. While
he has made no extensive recommenda-
tions concerning further additions to the
post, the General has approved the plan
for better railway facilities, and that is
the building of sidetracks on the Gov-
ernment reservation and the construction
of more warehouses.
While he did not say so, or even in11 -
mate as much, it is known the War De-
partment has for some tlllie been plan-
ning to equip Fort Sam Houston with
the necessary facilities to make the
handling of great quantities of stores an
easy matter, especially should an emer-
gency arise in connection with border
matters.
UK ASKS QUESTIONS.
The General really wanted to discuss
San Antonio more than army matters,
lie asked the committee of business mon,
who told him yesterday morning that he
was more than welcome in the city, a
lot of questions about the municipality,
lie told Charles Graebner, president <>f
the Chamber of Commerce, .1. F. Carter,
secretary of the organization, and L. J.
Hart. W. I>. Tuttle, J. W. Warren. .J. H.
Savage and Jake Wolff, prominent in
its membership, that he was glad to be
here and hoped he could come to San
Antonio clt an early day to take up his
residence as department commander, but
that until border matters became settled
he could not reply definitely.
Following the visit of the Chamber of
Commerce delegation, General Steever
and his aide, Lieut. William C. Garden-
hire, were guests of Major and Mrs.
Scott. Others at the luncheon were Col.
and Mrs. Hugh L. Scott and Lieut.-Col.
and Mrs. Robert D. Uead.
The luncheon was productive of some
interesting Philippine reminiscences. Both
General Steever and Colonel Scott had at
one Time been Governor of the Sulu
Archipelago in the Islands. It was while
In that office the residents of the Fast
got a pretty good insight into the Intense-
ly human arid practical side of the Gen-
t ral.
The General believed that a more ef-
fective campaign could be waged with
the plowshare than with bullets, and he
brought the Moros to his way of think-
ing. As a result, during his term of of-
fice the tilled land Increased H00 per cent.
There followed a great increase in profits
for the natives and the maintenance of
Government cost decidedly less. So when
the General's term of service ended the
natives were sorry to see him go and a
lot <>f the chiefs, or head men, swore
allegiance to him.
WILL SPRING SURPRISE
Hoard of Health Will Visit Dairies
When Not Expected.
Members of the San Antonio Hoard or
Health are planning to visit the dairies
of this city in the near future, but with-
out pomp or ceremony. The <late of the
oroposed visit has not been announced or
is it known to members of the hoard.
It is the intention of the Hoard of Health
to make the inspections without notifying
the dairy owners, knowing they will be
welcomed even though they have' not noti-
fied their hosts.
Mayor Jones will he asked to accom-
pany the visitors when the inspection is
made.
The Hoird of Health had arranged to
visit the dairies last Sunday, but because
of the absence of one of the members the
visit was postponed. This will he the
first dairy inspection trip made hv the
reorganised Hoard of Health.

If the Church Club of St. Marks <;tn
prevent it, Santa Claus won't forget any
poor hoy and girl in Sail Antonio this
Christmas. At a meeting of the club yes-
terday the members decided to give a
Christmas party for those who might not
otherwise have any Christmas cheer, and
committees were appointed to provide ways
and means for this charity.
The meeting last night was called to
order by the club president. H. Parte©,
and the members partook of the supper
which had been provided by the ladies of
the Parish Aid Society. In effect this
is the tirst meeting of the year, and plans
\»ere discussed for those to be liehl dur-
ing the coming months. The suggestion
that a Christmas party be given was
cuthusiastlcally received. Ketweeii now

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
At the Plaza.
The vaudeville at the Plaza this week
twangs of true variety. Of the eight
acts on the bill there is no confllctlou and
(aeh ono has distinctive merit. The
wholesome fun of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Me-
Greevy in a rural skit true to life Itself
has made an indelible Impression on the
theatergoers even this early in the week.
Jack McGreevy is an old Texan and
played in San Antonio long before high-
(hiss vaudeville was as securely fixed as
It Is today. The cordial reception of this
ham by local theatergoers is greaflv ap-
preelultd by the team, as they consider
their trip over the Majestic circuit as a
"homecoming."
i he remainder of the show is receiving
praise, and justly. Arthur Ladrlne has
a delightful tableau musical comedy, tl.
Paiilhuu troupe plays a spirited game o;
backet-ball on bicycles, which excite.,
interest'; the Misses Campbell are sweet
singers of sweet songs. Lester and Lester

"Our committee will continue their

paign and the Democratic National Com- i
inittee has received only $400,000 up to j
date. We Democrats who have been
sighing for a party victory for nearly
twenty years must not allow this oppor-
tunity to be thrown away for lack of I
money with which to meet the legitimate j
expenses of the contest. I trust rexas
will come up to expectations by con-
tributing at least $So.0('Ki. I hope San An- 1

great work."

For sale by
"The Balkan Princess."
Fresh from its remarkable New York
triumph nlid with the hallmark of Lon-
don stumped Indelibly upon It "The I'.ul-
kan I'l lncess" will he st en ;it the Grand
next Friday, Saturday and Sunday ni(4htM
with matinees Saturday and Sunday.
The production Is under the pergonal
management of Samuel K. Itork, who
has given us many musical treats in the
past. For a year before "The Balkan
Princess" had been produced In Now
York much of Its luneful music had been
heard 111 public places. The success nf
; the piece in London, where it was origi-
nally staged, soon became noised about
New York, with the result that when it
was finally brought out in that city It
was like an old friend being welcomed
Home. As to tile book, the chief point is
that it lias substance and poise as a }
romantic story, aside from the comedy I
'. lenient involved. The dramatic ipialltv
is particularly In evidence In tills un-
usual comedy, in that the second and
third acts end with "situations" Instead
nf the conventional ensembles. The finish
is in the fashion nf a straight senti-
mental comedy. .Miss Julia Clifford, with
the voice of a nightingale, heads tlie cast
of Metropolitan favorites, which Includes
Harry Llewellyn, Adelaide Harland, Wal-
lace Hecry, Dorothy Kills, George Poult-
liey. Vera Roosmore, Harry O. Lyons,
William Meyer, Fred Harnden and Low
Birch. One of the special features of the
performance is the chorus of forty Balka-
nese beauties.
At the Hoyal.
The Hoyal programme for this week Is
headed by the Vour L'Aeollans, clever
musicians. One of them portrays a black-
face character and offers a brand of
negro that Is received very enthusiastic-
ally. <Compressed Into the comforts of 20
minutes' entertainment, tin* Four L'Aeo-
laiis epitomize all tiie possibilities nf a
scenic musical feature. The comedy thev
enact is entitled "On Sunset Beach," and
It is being liberally applauded. Roberts
and Fulton are liked for a breezy number
which is far from the ordinary." Wagner
and Dlggs score for a combination of
various forms of entertainment that
proves wonderful versatility. Gus .loers
and Mario llogue nffer a delightful sing-
ing and talking diversion entitled "Cast-
ing a Seed." High-grade motion pictures
contribute towards making the pro-
gramme one to be appreciated.

T5he Best and Most Comprehensive
October Silk Sale
We Ever Held
Just as every woman in the land must have silk of some grade, so tins sale answers that need
in eve, v detail troin the least expensive hut dependable silk up to the iinest that is woven.
I hesc biannual Silk Sales are not a matter of days or even \^eek- the preparation is started
months ahead, when our buyers go on a buying ;our that takes in every mill importer and jobbe*
of note in the country.
This question ot tact also answers the query ot an inquiring customer uho wanted to know
why we could not have such silk bargains ail the 'ime.
It can easily be seen why this would be impossible, when we call attention to the tact that
almost every yard of silk in this sale is at less than it could be bought at wholesale todav.
II you have doubted the quality or values offered, an investigation of the October Silk Sale
and its methods will dispel that doubt as the sun catters the fog. The silks are exacth of the same
ehaiactei and grades as sold by Vt. & M. all the year round and not in any way less desirable.
f5he Enthusiasm of This Great Sale
Has been transmitted like magic to our customers It is gratifying to find that in practically every
instance where a careful study and comparison of values has been made, people have bought here
with a feeling of absolute satisfaction.
Not only their own eyes give them assurance of true economy, but the W. & M. personal
guarantee of quality and accurate statement of value goes with every yard of silk sold.
It is a great sale, but how great it is impossible to tell until you make comparisons.

pimplej and itched and ulio would scratch it
and cause soros to form. Iler head wan
very sore and her hair fell out In bunches.
She was very cross and fretful an* could not
aleep at night. I tried many remedies, all
failed, then I tried Cuticura Soap and oint-

I put the Cuticura ointment on, and a half j
hour after washed her head with the Cuti-
cura Soap. I used theno a month and slio ;
was cured entirely." (Signed) Mrs. W. B, ]
