Scalp Humor Cured by Cuticura
Soap and Ointment
AFTER ALL ELSE FAILED
"I was troubled with a severe scalp
humor and loss of hair that gave me a
great deal of annoyance and inconven-
ience. After unsuccessful efforts with
many remedies and so-called hair
tonics, a friend induced me to try
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Tho
humor was cured in a short time, my
hair was restored as healthy as ever,
and I can gladly say I have since been
entirely free from any further annoy-
ance. I shall always use Cuticura
Soap, and I keep the Ointment on
hand to use as a dressing for the hair
and scalp, (signed) Fred'k Busche,

AUSTIN, Tex., June 29.—In response to
an inquiry from Walter Collins, chair-
man of the Democratic Executive Com-
mittee of Mill County, as to the meaning
of a certain section of the general elec-
tion law, Assistant Attorney General
Claude Pollard has written him as fol-
lows:
"Replying to yours of the 23d, you are
advised that it is my opinion the execu-
tive committee of each county in this
State should he very liberal in their con-
struction of the Terrell election law in
the matter of placing the names of can-
didates upon the official ballot, for the
reason that the provisions of this law
are unknown and untried, and whenever
a party has made a bona fide effort to
secure his name upon the official ballot
in the proper manner, or has been pre-
vented by some unavoidable contingency
from complying with the law, it should
not be so rigidly construed as to prevent
his name being placed upon the official
ballot."
COURT MAKES BAD RECORD.
Criminal Appeals Leaves Many Cases
Undisposed of Over Vacation.
Special Telegram to The Express ^
AUSTIN, Tex., June 29.—The v rt of
Criminal Appeals this morning ad mod
after transferring" 110 cases to I'ylcr,
which is the largest number transferred
in the history of the court. Only 161
eases were decided here at this term, as
against 264 decided at Dallas. Had the
court disposed of as many cases at this
term as it did at the Dallas term of sim-
ilar length, the dockct would have been
nearly cleaned and no wholesale transfer
made to Tyler. Judges Davidson and
Henderson wrote about 72 opinions each,
while Judge Brooks wrote but an even
dozen.
Among the cases which went over to
the Tyler term was that of A. S. Busby,
ex-assistant financial agent of peniten-
tiaries, who was given three years for
embezzlement.
Just before the court adjourned appli-
cation for writ of error to the. Supreme
Court of the United States was made ill
the case, of 11. L. Mays, from Bexar
County, the negro who has been sen-
tenced to hang on Aug. a for the murder
of a young white man. The grounds al-
leged wt re that discrimination against
the negro race had occurred In the selec-
tion of the jury that convicted Mays.
The Texas court refused the application
because the issue of race prejudice had
not been raised in the trial court, but
only came at this, late day in the appel-
late court.
The court today denied a rehearing
to Marcellns Thomas, from Harris, and
he will have to hang.

Eminent Doctors Praise Its Ingredients.
We refer to that boon to weak, nervous,
suffering women known as Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
Dr. .John Fyfe one of tho Editorial Staff
of The Eclectic Mkdioal Review says
of llnicorti root (Helonias Dlolca) which
is one of the chief ingredients of the "Fa-
vorite Prescription" :
"A remedy which in variably acts as a nwr-
Ina invliiorator * » * makes for normal ac-
tivity of the entire reproductive system."
He continues "In Helonias we have a medica-
ment which more fully answers the almvo
purposes than any other ilrug u'lth which J am
acquainted. In the treatment of diseases pe-
culiar to women it Is seldom that a case Is
seen which does not present some Indication
for this remedial scent." Dr. Fyfe further
says: "The following are amoiiK the leading
indications for Helonias (Unicorn root). Pain
or aching ill the back, with leucorrhora;
atonic (weak) conditions of the reproductive
organs of women, mental depression and ir-
ritability. associated with chronic c .aeases of
the reproductive organs of women, constant
sensation of heat in the region of the kid-
neys; menorrhagla (flooding), due to a weak-
ened condition of tho reproductive system;
otnenorrhu'a (suppressed r>r absent monthly
periods), arising from or accompanying an
abnormal condition of the digestive organs
and antemlc (thin blood) habit; dragging
sensations In the extreme lower part of the
abdomen."
If more or less of the above symptoms
are present, no Invalid woman can do
better than take Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, one of the leading ingredi-
ents of which Is Unicorn root, or Helonias,
and tho medical properties of which It
most faithfully represents.
Of Golden Seal root, another prominent
Ingredient of "Favorito Prescription,"
Prof. Finloy Ellingwood, M. D., of Ben-
nett Medical Colli go, Chicago, says;
"It Is an important remedy In disorders of
the womb. In all catarrhal conditions * * *
and general enfoeblement. it Is useful."
Prof. John M. Scudder, M. D., late of
Cincinnati, says of Golden 8oal root:
"In relation to Its general effects on tho
system, there Is no medicine in use about which
then U such general unanimity n/npininn. It
Is universally regarded as the tonic useful In
all debilitated states."
Prof. Bartholow. M. !>.. of Jefferson
Medical College, says of Golden Seal;
"Valuable In uterine hemorrhage, menor-
rhagla (flooding) and congestive dysmenor-
rhea painful menstruation)."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription falth-
fullv represents all tho above named in-
gredients and cnrcs the diseases for which
they are recommended.
DISCRIMINATION
IS CHARGED IN
WEST TEXAS
Southwestern Tariff Committee
Has Hurt Business in Several
Lively Jobbing Towns.
TEXAS COMMISSION
CANNOT REMEDY IT
Daily Express Austin Bureau.
APSTIN, Tex.. June 29.—The Railroad
Commission has received a number of
complaints from the commercial bodies
of towns in Western Texas which have
been excluded from common point terri-
tory under the new readjustment which
was recently made by the Southwestern
tariff committee.
Although the common point territory
established by the Railroad Commission
still applies to these towns it only con-
cerns .state shipments. The readjustment
complained of ap; lies to interstate ship-
ments, over which the Railroad Commis-
sion has no control.
The commission is powerless to Rive
any reli. f to those towns which have
been placed in differential territory,
much as that body would desire to do so.
The removal of a number of thriving
jobbing towns of Western Texas from
common point territory as regards inter-
state shipments places them at a serious
disadvantage with their competitors
who enjoy the privilege of lower inter-
state rates.

AUSTIN, Tex., June 29.—The effort of

respective organizations up to the highest
degree of efficiency.
The troops will be. better equipped than
at any time in the history or the organi-

will learn many things of value to them
through the presence of several thousand
Federal troops at the summer camp.

ARID LANDS 10
BE TURNED INTO
GREEN FIELDS
Irrigation Will Work Untold Pros*
perity to Barren Regions
of Western Texas.
IS INCLUDED IN THE
RECLAMATION ACT
"If the people of Western Texas avail
themselves of the irrigation facilities
soon to be offered by the Federal Gov-
ernment, under tho provisions of the
rcent reclamation act. they can in a short
time convert the arid districts into a
paradise, in which anything from a to-
mato vine to an orange tree will flour-
ish."
These words were by C. D. Ulmer of
Flint, Mich., who spent yesterday in San
Antonio, on the way home from Cali-
fornia. Mr. Ulmer is interested in every
phase of irrigation, and has for some
time been engaged in establishing irri-
gation systems and plants in the orange
regions of California.
Water Is
Cheaper Here.
"Western Texas will not be confronted
with the difficulty that the orange rais-
ers in California had to overcome, name-
ly, a sufficient water supply. The or-
ange groves of California are supplied
with water from two sources—from ar-
tesian wells and from mountain streams
that arc conducted into the planted area
by large irrigating conduits that have
been constructed by moneyed corpora-
tions for this purpose.
These ditches must be tapped with
pipes that carry the water to each of
the irrigating plants. If the wells are
used, pumps must be installed to pump
the water into the area desired to be
drained.
"The water rights are expensive in
either instance. The Federal Government I
will acquire the supply of water by |
damming some natural waterway, from
which the water will be led into the
various districts by ditches. There will
be a number of these reservoirs, with
laterals leading in all directions, carry-
ing the water for miles and miles through
the arid districts. The only expense that
the farmer will be put to will be the
cost of furnishing piping to carry the
water throughout the particular area he
wishes to cultivate. There will be little
or no charge for the water rights.
Would Transform
Big Arid District.
"The reclamation act contemplates in-
cluding <i great portion of Western Tex-
as upon which it is practically impossible
now to cultivate anything but sagebrush
and cactus.
"Through the operation of irrigation
systems land in California, when planted
in orange groves, has increased from
$20 to $1000 an acre in valuation. When
planted in vineyards, tlie land has in-
creased from $15 to $500 an acre. This
higher price for land is due to nothing
but the successful operation of irrigating
systems, which will indisputably work
the same transformation in the arid re-
gions of Texas as it has in California.
"There is little hi the nature of cli-
matic conditions to prevent the cultiva-
tion of the El Paso grape throughout
the districts into which the Government
purposes to transmit water. That grape
has a most delicious flavor and demands
a ready price in the market. It is possi-
ble. too, that the orange industry could
be worked to a degree at least, regard-
less of the higher altitude. The benefits
to other agricultural pursuits, however,
will be Immeasurable."
THE DOG FOUND A KEY.
Hotel Clerk Tells of Canine Who As-
sisted Guest.
"Speaking of the intelligence of dogs,"
said the night clerk of a local hotel, "and
their ability to understand the actions
and wants of men. I have a canine friend
that in one instance at least exercised
the function of a human mentality.
"A stray dog took up at the hotel one
day, a wiry, ncglected-looking Scotch
terrier. I gave him a meal and the next,
day bought a tag for him. From that
day to this, 'Tramp,' as I call him, has
been a privileged attache of the hotel.
"Early one morning while I was at
work, Tramp came bounding down the
stairs and rising on his hind legs at-
tempted to push open the door. I paid
no attention to him. which seemed to
annoy him. He whined and jumped
about as if in trouble. When he came
inside the enclosure where I was he ran
up to me. wagging his tail and uttering
suppressed whines. I did not know what
was the matter with the dog and ordered
him to be quiet.
"At the sound of my voice he turned
and ran toward tlie door. He stopped
there and looked up at me. I did not
move. The dog then came back to me.
caught hold of the leg of my trousers
and tried to lead me to the door.
"To humor t'.e dog. I followed him.
With a. yelp of joy, he bounced ahead of
me, wagging his tail. I followed him out
the door and un the steps. He would
stop every few feet to see if 1 were fol-
lowing him.
"Reaching the third floor, the dog led
me around a hall, and there, in front of
room 117, I discovered one of the guests,
slightly indisposed from drink, trying
to insert a corkscrew instead of a key
into the lock.
"Since that time I have been con-
vinced that Tramp has more than or-
dinary canine intelligence."

INSPECTING NORMALS.
M. Bralley of State Department of
Education Says 10.000 Teachers
in Summer Normals.
F. M. Bralley of Austin, Chief Clerk
of the State Department of Education,
was in San Antonio yesterday 011 his
return from a tour of inspection of the
summer norm lis In North Texas.
"There are 10,000 teachers in summer
normal schools in Texas," said Mr. Bral-
ley, "and the number is increasing every
year. I think that that figure represents
an increase of about 2000 teachers over
the enrollment of last year.
"About five thousand of these teachers
will stand tho required examinations for
first grade certificates at the end of
the term. It Is possible that the majority
will successfully pass the examinations,
which will be given for both the two-
year certificate and the life certificate.
"There are about one hundred and
thirty-nine summer normals in the State,
and I believe that they are in a more
flourishing condition than ever before.
I visited about fifteen cn mv recent
trip and found them in excellent con-
dition in every respect.
"The department of education has fol-
lowed the rule of sending one of its of-
ficials to the different normals in the
State for the purpose of acquiring a
familiarity with the general condition of
the schools that may be of service in
the department's work."

t PURIIY VEGETABLE
The forests and fields are abundantly supplied with vegetation of vari-
ous kinds, not alone to beautify tk>; land, but to furnish the ingredients for
making a remedy for every ill and ailment of mankind. Medicines made
from the roots herbs and barks, which nature has placed at the disposal of
man, act better in every way than do strong mineral mixtures and concoc-
tions—the products of the chemist's shop. Mineral medicines work danger-
ously on the delicate parts of the system, especially the stomach and bowels,
by eating out the lining membrane, producing chronic dyspepsia and often
entirely ruining the health. S. S. S. enjoys the distinction of being the
only purely vegetable remedy on the market. It is made entirely of gentle-
acting, healing, purifying roots, herbs and barks, possessing properties that
build up and invigorate all parts of the system, in addition to removing all
impurities and poisons from the blood. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Scrofula, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood Poison and ali
disorders of the blood by cleansing the circulation of the cause, and it cares
Safely as well as permanently. It is as safe for children and old people as
for those in the prime of life, and is the one blood medicine that may be used
without fear of bad after-effects. Book on the blood sent free to all who
write. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO- ATLANTA, GAm
