Commissioners Court.
The couuty commissioners ad-
journed Tuesday afternoon at about
4:30 o’clock after having been in
session for two days.
On Monday the entire time
almost was consumed in canvassing
the stock law and bond issue elec-
tion returns and in the allowing of
accounts. The court found the
Firemen Elect Officers.
At the deferrc 1 regular meeting
of the fire department held last
night at the city hall the annual
election of officers occurred.
For president, Omer Penland,
vyho has held the office for two
years, was the sole nominee and
was elected unanimously. The
The monthly meeting of the
Weatherford Board of Trade was
held in the Forester club rooms
Wednesday afternoon with a moder-
ately good attendance of members.
In tbe absence of President Blair
and Vice-President Lowe, R. W.
Davis was, on motion, selected as
president for the time. Although
Mr. Lowe appeared later, lie did
not take the chair.
R. E. Bell, for the special com-
mittee appointed during the sum-
mer to investigate the chances of
getting the Rock Island to build
from Bridgeport to this place, said
that he had interviewed certain
Rock Island officials at Fort Worth
auent the question and had met
with neither encouragement nor
discouragement, they being non-
committal further than stating that
their, company now had so many
irons in the fire that they were too
busy to give any thought to new
enterprises at present. Mr. Bell
discussed the situation for several
minutes and the opinion expressed
by him was that the opportunity
was so good that he thought sure
if the town would but first start
the construction of the road, which
could lie done at a cost of $20,000,
enterprising and reliable railroad
builders would be willing to take
it and complete it for the bonds,
which ean lie issued by commission
authority to the extent of $19,000
per mile. In fact, he had been

Cucumber1, are aids ia cases of dys-
pepsia.
Psranips are two to-one ahead oi
Hood's ol any other sarsaparilla.
Onions are a ge. ancide and also pre-
vent malarial ferer.
Garlic and leeks stimulate the circu-
lation.
l’ear and beans are uio.-d nutritive and
are flesh-foimers.
The onion belonging to the same fam-
ily as the garlic and leek, is classified
among the vegetables of value as a
blood purifier; it stimulates the secre-
tions, and, like celery, is useful for
nervousness. The strong taste and
smell of onious is due to a volatile oil
rich in sulphur. \
Celery contains an aromatic oil, sugAr,
mucilage,starch and manna-sugar. The
daily moderate use of celery is said to
remove net vousness aud even palpita-
tion of the heart. For rheuuiatijkn and
kidney trouble it is conside:ed excel-
lent. Those having weak digestion
should eat celery cooked, as the fiber of
celery makes it difficult of digestion.
Cabbane, if properly cooked, is
valuable vegetable, possessing marked
anti scorbutic virtue. x
The food value of vegetables ruu about
as follows: Lima beans, 3a per cent of
nutrients; sweet potatoes, 29 per cent;
green peas, 22 per cent; white potatoes,
2t per cent; stting beans, I3 per cent.;
green sweet corn, 19 per cent; beets, r2
per cent; turnips, li per cent; cabbage,
cauliflower and spinach, 8 per cent;

DEVOURED BY WORMS.
Children often cry, not from
pain, but from hunger, altkongu
fed abundantly. The entire trou-
ble arises from inauition, the5’
food is not assimilated, but devoui-
ed by worms. A few doses of
White’s Cream Vermifuge w'*l
cause them to cease 'crying and
begin to thrive at once, very much
to the surprise and joy of the
mother, 25c at Reynolds & Hat-
