Win recognise them, sad con-
sult s physician at once; otherwise
the diabetes may reach a very dif-
ficult stage to handle, without ex-
citing apprehension on the part of
the patient.
To begin with, diabetes is not a

■lal
manifestations appear!
____ _ _ _i that quar-
ter. The patient’ notices at fin*,
very great over-action of the kid-
neys, with output as clear as water
in the majority of cases; it may
roach one, two or three gallon in
quantity per day. An inordinate
tjuaiiiaej y» —
craving fox sweet* mar be noticed;
severe constipation (a the role,
though not constant—many people
are constipated without having
diabetes. Then, there is a “prog-
ressive feebleness" — the growing
weaker and weaker, without appar-
ent cause. I once saw a strong
man begin to grow weak—“tired*
all the time with no exertion te
cause it; Ms limbs ached so much
that he fancied he had rheumatism.
Asked about his kidneys, he assert-
ed that “they had never In life
acted so well, two gallons or more
a day!" This man died within
three months—of diabetes, the dis-
ease having advanced teo far to be
remediable by any means known at
that time, about twenty years ago.
Whenever this feebleness sets in,
and the patient’s muscles begin to
grow fiabby with loss cf flesh.
IN MEMORY OF
UNCLE PORTER HARRIS
Monday morning, when the
birds twittered to the early
dawn, and began to call their
mates, there was one poor
soul, who sat shrinking by the
bed of her mate, praying God
to spare him to her, but He
saw fit to call William Porter
Harris from this earth.
Is life a dream or a reality,
who can "say? Some say we
are what life makes us, others
say life is what we make it.
The life of this good man
should teach us that life is
what we make it. For his was
one of unending loyalty, love
and devotion.
He trod the narrow path
that leads to glory, and he
avoided temptation as it
tempted him in its earthly
colors. His view of life was
beautiful, for is not this
world’s fruits lovely to us all,
but he saw that which most of
ns do not see, that the beau-
ties of this earth will fade. He
! anted a seed that grew and
ripened and which in the end
brought him fruits that will
never wither nor decay, _ but
will last throughout eternity.
He was tried in many ways,
he was tempted to do many
things, but he withstood these
trials bravely and now he has
received his reward. He, no
doubt had a tiny regret in
leaving this world, for did he
not leave a dear, sweet loved
one here, who has beer, faith-
ful to him for fifty-five years.
Young folks, think what a
number of years that is, will
we ever live even that long? I
am afraid not, for are we not
growing weaker with each
retreating year?
Dear young people he once
blossomed in his youth just
as we do today, except in dif-
ferent mannerisms. He had
just a vague understanding of
the weaknesses of the younger
generation today.
The beautiful floral offering
and the throng of friends who
gathered at his last resting
place showed that his friends
were numerous, and that he
was loved and respected . by
all who knew him. He was
kind to every living thing. His
most ardent wish in life was to
see his loved ones happy.
He was a member of fhi
Methodist church, a true hus-
band and loyal father. He
served in the. Civil war and
was a noble citizen of his
county.
While there is spring in our
hearts, and a light song on our
lips, young folks, let us be
kind to the old, for we have
not the least idea their aching
old hearts are suffering. Let
us drop a word of cheer wher-
ever we are. Don’t we know,
can we not feel, how his dear
old wife will miss him.
She will listen, but there is
no sound, no he cannot be
heard. Death is dark but it
carried him away like a beau-
tiful white bird. His body is
gone, his hands can no more
caress you, but he’s listening
to your every foot fall, he
knows in God you will be
true. Yes. he is with you night
and day, his spirit is hovering
near, so be careful, wear a
smile always, lest he find on
your face a scalding tear. *
He was old in years, eighty-
eight, but his voice was new

Washington, March 15.—
“In the last 90 days the Feder-
al Land Bank of Houston has
done the heaviest business in
its history, having handled ap-
proximately §20,000,000 in
applications for long-term
on farms
Refunding of 1 Iheitp
Largest of Tn
first mortgage loans
in the state,” stated M.
Gossett, president of the bank,
who is in Washington confer-
ring with the farm loan board.
"In December we did the
largest month’s business in our
whole 10 years of service,
closing 1150 loans aggregat-
ing 84,022,400. Our new low
interest rate of 5 per cent and
the low price of cotton are the
two principal reasons for this
remarkable increase in de-
mand for loans.
'The bank r.ow has out-
standing more than $130,000,-
C00, cf which $19,580,000
were loaned last year. This
means that 50,000 farmers in
Texas have received the bene-
fits of these long-term low in-
terest rate loans. Not a dol-
lar has been lost by the bank
to date on any of its thousands
of loan3. We were forced to
foreclose last year on only
.three farms and the total num-
bs ber of foreclosures to date is
only 38. Of these, 14 of the
farms have been sold at a
profit and 22 are still owned
by the bank. There have
been a few foreclosures by_na-
tional farm loan association*
but in each case the farm has
been sold without loss to the
association.
“Despite the comparatively
low-price of agricultural pro-
ducts, especially cotton, the
total delinquency in payment
of installments due the first of
the year was less than % of 1
per cent.
“During the 10 years, m
which this bank’has been op-
erating,” continued President
Gossett, “the farmer-borrow-
ers, who are the stockholders

loan associations, have pur-

—Seven school children were
bitten Monday by a rabiesrin-

near the Helm school. Exam-
inetion of the dog’s head after
officers had killed the animal
showed it to be infected with
rabies, and treatment of the
children was begun immedi-
ately. The dog charged vici-
ously at the sprinkling of chil-
dren on the street, inflicting
wounds principally on the
arms and legs of the terrified
