Keep out of Drafts. Avoid
Exposure. Eat and Live
Right and Take
Dr. King's New Discovery.
You catch cold because your system is
below normal and finds itself unable to
throw off the cold germs. To recover you
should first take a remedy to kill the
germs. Then be careful of your eating.
Avoid exposure. Go to bed early and
save your strength in every possible way.
To kill the germs take Dr, King’s New
Discovery.
Just the minute Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery touches the cold germs they begin
to shrivel and die. Your irritation ceases.
The cough eases and you begin to get
better. Dr. King’s New Discovery is just
laxative enough to expel the dead germs
and poisonous secretions.
The board of stewards of the
Methodist Church held a most im-
portant meeting last night. The
oyster supper and reception was
post oiled on account of Mr. Jack-
son s death at Talpa. The follow-

covery make it an excellent congh and
cold remedy. Don’t endure the annoy-
ance of coughs and colds. Don’t keep on
suffering. Don’t take the risk of more
serious illness. Take Dr. King’s New
Discovery. Watch your eating and habits.
You will find your cough and cold under
easy and natural control and be assured
of a speedy recovery. At all druggists.

EVERYBODY NEEDS
PURE, JCH BLOOD
Pure blood enables the stomach,
liver and other digestive organs to do
their work properly. Without it they
are sluggish, there is loss of appetite,
sometimes faintness, a deranged state
of the intestines, and, in general, all
the symptoms of dyspepsia.
Pure blood is required by every
organ of the body for the proper per-
formance of its functions.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla makes pure
blood, and this is why it is so suc-
cessful in the treatment of so many
diseases and ailments. Its acts di-
rectly on the blood, ridding it of
scrofulous and other humors. It is
a peculiar combination of blood-puri-
fying, nerve-toning, strength-giving
substances. Get it today.

Ernest Graves, one of the pros-
perous young farmers of the
Ilatchel country, was in Ballinger
Friday and sold 17 hales of cot-
ton, the last of this season’s crop,
at 12 cents all around.
G. II. Dierschke of the 01 fin
country, had 48 hales in the mar-
ket Friday evening, hut did not
sell as the prices did not quite
reach his demands.
These gentlemen, like many
others in Runnels County this
year, are able to hold their cotton
until the prices reach what they
think the cotton is worth. They
have all their debts paid, plenty
of feed on their farms, and fat
hogs in the pens. Diversification
has brought about this state of af-
fairs and as son as all the farmers
of the county get in that shape,
