The Good Old
Spring Medicine
• \
New blood—pure blood, rich in color and full of red corpus-
cles, an increased circulation—the system thoroughly cleans-
ed of impurities and invigorated. That’s what you need this
spring—free yourself from the conditions arising from an
indoor life—gather renewed energy and vigor for the coming
summer months.
A Bott'e of Earl’s
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla
With Iodide of Potassium
Will make you feel new
Cleanses the blood and makes it nourish the system—stim-
ulates the liver, kidneys and bladder and assists them in
their functions. :—: It will rouse your energy to top notch,
brighten the eyes, clear the brain and give you that springy
step accompanying perfect health—you will feel it too. You
won’t enjoy the summer—your work will hang—in fact, ev-
erything will be unpleasant unless the whole system is thor-
oughly cleansed and placed on a new basis- EARL’S COM-
POUND EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA WILL DO IT-
and we never heard of a case where it failed to do as we say.

A boom has been launched for
Theodore Roosevelt as the pro-
gressive nominee for president
in 1916. On the same day the
boom was launched Mr. Roose-
velt caught a dik-dik in South
America, which means that he
will catch hades two years hence.
Houston barbers are feeling
the touch of the law which has
decreed for perfect sanitation in
the big city on the bayou. Be-
fore a Houston barber can scis-
sor the head adornment or re-
move the whiskers of a patron he
must go through a system pf
cleaning up equal to that required
of a fellow who has tussled with
smallpox. The ordinance says
the barber must wash his hands
in clean, clear water, dry them
on towels that have been stere-
lized, sterelize razor, comb and
brush and powder the patron’s
face with an individual powder
puff. The law will doubtless
prove a splendid sanitary meas-
ure, but we are wondering what
time in the morning the crowd
that shaves on Saturday night
will get home._
A few weeks ago Secretary
Daniels prohibited the use of in-
toxicating liquors on American
battleships, and last week Jacob
Coxey, leader of Coxey’s army
of tramps, prohibited drinking in
the ranks of the hikers. John
Barleycorn is rapidly losing out
in this country. Fighters and
tramps may no longer tarry at
the cup that cheers. If you want
to drink you must be a fisherman.
Cooper, the capital city of ou-i
neighbor county, Delta, has just
received a $7500 fire engine.
Cooper is probably the smallest
town in the state that-owns an
auto fire engine, and the pur-
chase stamps her a leader among
the progressives. Hurrah for
Cooper.

SPRINGTIME IN TEXAS.
The man who can’t sing a little
song to Texas when the spring-
time robes have been donned by
the grand old commonwealth is
so dumb that he cannot praise
the beauty of a cherry-lipped
maiden or offer prayer to his Re-
deemer. In the souls of some of
us there isn’t much music, but
when the latter days of April
draw on and grand old Texas is
turned into a bower of beauty
and song, when the new and vel-
vety leaves cast their lace work
of matchless beauty through the
tree tops everywhere, when the
rising sun that gilds the vernal
morn turns the dewdrop on ev-
ery leaf and flower into a dia-
mond that puts to shame the
most splendid gems of Kimber-
ley, the soul that doesn’t sing a
little is numb. Lagrippe and
rheumatism and the cold steel of
politics have driven nearly all
the melody from the Signal’s
soul and put the Signal’s min-
strel out of commission for a
time, but a rhapsody of Texas
springtime Signal readers must
have, so we gladly print the fol-
lowing tuneful lay of the Fort
Worth Star-Telegram:
“No bride in the glory of youth and
beauty was ever arrayed for her soul-
mate more charmingly than Texas is
adorned to please the eyes of all men
in later April and early May.
“If, at this season, one of the heralds
of the ancient gods could kidnap a true
son of Texas, convey him to the Elysian
fields and offer him a full section of the
best land, already enclosed with devil-
proof fence, at two dollars an acre and
five years’ continuous residence, no
doubt the home-sick native would
promptly answer: ‘Nothing doing, Old-
head; this is a pretty good country, but
it’s not like home. Keep your apple
orchards of Hesperides and let me go
back to Texas, where ripening straw-
berries right now are big as a boy’s
spinning top, where the magnolia
blooms and cape jessamines have your
floral outlook here beaten to a frazzle.
Let me go back home, where the spot-
ted wild fawn sleeps in its cool sylvan
bower hidden by riotous bloom, where
the honey-bee swoons beneath its de-
licious burden, where the watermelon
nestles under the clustering vines,
growing as fast as a neighborhood
scandal and fostering its red, ambrosial
heart against the day of the picnic and
fish-fry and of languorous malingerings
on the shady side of the camp meeting
tabernacle. Let me go back to God’s
own countiy, and you can rent this re-
gion out to heathen and primitive peo-
ples who have never been used to much
and who might be satisfied to stay on
the reservation.’ ”
It never was intended that
the impossible should be de-
manded of anyone, and the
command to ‘ ‘Love thy neigh-
bor” does not extend to a
Don’t Sleep Well
No Good Reason
Just Can’t Sleep
Some people can’t sleep. There
seems to be no special reason. They
have no disease of the nervous sys-'
tem. Digestion is fairly good. Their
habits are pretty good. They may
smoke a little or drink a little, yet
their habits are fair. Still they can’t
sleep well.
Just a little unbalanced in the nerve
centers. That is all. They should
have a little “righting up.”
A tonic will generally do this. The
right sort of a tonic. Peruna is ex-
actly the tonic. Digestion is hurried
by Peruna. The stomach is empty
and ready to rest for the night. The
circulation is equalized. The brain
is relieved of all congestions and irri-
tations.
The Peruna acts on every blood
vessel in the system. It acts on all
of the nerve centers. One begins to
sleep and hardly knows why.
Take a teaspoonful to one table-
spoonful of Peruna before each meal.
Sometimes another tablespoonful at
bedtime is necessary, where the sleep-
lessness is very pronounced.
Just try it, neighbor. You will be
glad if you do. One bottle will con-
vince you. Peruna is no sleep medi-
cine. It is not a nervine. It contains
no narcotics. It is nothing of that
sort. It is simply a regulative tonic.
Every home should be provided
with the last edition of the “Ills of
Life,” sent free by the Peruna Co.,

THE SECOND TERM PLEA.
The old idea that obtains in the
Democratic party of self succes-
sion for at least a second term in
office works an injustice on the
tax payers and is not in any way
commensurate with the progress
of the age and latter day business
methods and should be uprooted.
When officers are competent men,
fair, upright, honorable and
broadminded there is no reason
why they should not hold office
for many years or even a life
time. On the other hand, if an
officer, while serving the first
term, proves himself incapable,
narrow-minded, seeking his own
selfish ends to the detriment of
the public good, he should be dis-
placed by a better and more
capable man. This custom is cal-
culated to result in official des-
potism. The Record would rec-
ommend for good, unbiased, pro-
gressive and fair executive ad-
ministrations, that people lay all
consideration of the number of
terms aside and elect a man to
serve them and not retain the
polypus who has attached him-
self on some institution that ex-
ists on the support of grafters
and by the main strength and
awkwardness o f grafting. —

case where the neighbor has
a hat that costs $26.98, while
you have been forced to trim
over a seventy-cent sailor.—
Claude Callan in Star-Tele-
gram.
It does not. There are im-
plied limitations even to scrip-
tural injunctions. No woman
with a 70-cent retrimmed sailor
is expected to love the neighbor
who owns a picture hat that cost
above $25. ,The woman who
planted flowers and saw the flow-
ers scratched up by a neighbor’s
chickens and then loves her
neighbor as herself hath fulfilled
the law of love and is slated for
a good bunk in paradise. The
hat question is another matter;
women wore shawls when the
Christian system was given.
May 7 is the date of the next
White House wedding. On that
eventful day Miss Eleanor Ran-
dolph Wilson, the youngest
daughter of the president, will
become the bride of William Mc-
Adoo, secretary of the treasury.
Miss Wilson is young, Mr. Mc-
Adoo is on the shady side of fifty
and has grandchildren. Miss
Wilson is bright and passably
pretty; Mr. McAdoo is rich. May
they live long and prosper.
If you are a knocker beat your
hammer into a horn and do some
tooting. Of course the scars
made by the hammer will' re-
main for a time, but a loud blast
from your horn will turn the peo-
ple’s eyes from the scars. Make
a joyful noise and do some good.
