Zephyr Relief Fund.
Brow-nwood: O. B. Couch, chair-
man of the Zephyr relief committee,
has issued a statement which shows
that almost $15,000 has been received
from all sources for the Zephyr relief
fund. It is stated that lumber is being
received now and that building will
commence at once. So far only four
or five houses have been built. This
is caused largely by the fact that lum
ber could not be had.

Kingsville: Later reports from io

line between Raymondville and
Brownsville and Samfordyce branch
confirm Thursday's report as to dam-

rain did not subside until about 7
o'clock this morning. Buildings were
blown down and unroofed at Donna,
San Benito, Harlingen and other pointe

Railroad cars were blown off several
sidings and two box cars were unroof-

Covering a wide area, the precipitation
reported ranged from light showers to

Expenses May Be Held Down by Side-
tracking Dispensable
Undertakings.
Washington. July 1.—The new fiscal
year, which opens today, starts out
with a deficit of more than $90,000,000.
This deficit, of course, includes the
year’s expenditures on the Panama
Canal, amounting to $31,500,000, which
cuts the deficit for current operations
of the Government proper to less than
i $60,000,000. Congress having fixed the
amount which the Government is ex-
pected to expend for the new- fiscal
year, President Taft will have to rely
on increased customs, internal revenue
and miscellaneous receipts, and on an
1 economic administration of affah-s this
I year in order to make a substantial re-
duction of the deficit.
There is one method by which the
authorized expenses of the Government
1 may be held down. 1. — —

Alcohol and Tuberculosis.
The most prominent tuberculosis
specialists in the country agree that
alcohol will not cure consumption. Dr.
S A Knopf says: “Alcohol has never
cured and never will cure tuberculosis.
It will either prevent or retard recov-
ery.” Dr. Frank Billings of Chicago
and Dr. Vincent Y. Bowditch, ex-presi-
dents of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis; Dr. Lawrence F. Flick of Phila-
delphia and Dr. Edward L. Trudeau of
Saranac Lake, the founder of the anti-
tuberculosis movement in this country,
are all of the same opinion.
What banks fear is not so much a
burglar's gaining access to their prem-
ises by forcing doors, but by tunneling |
and other equally cunning and daring
methods, the Strand says. A few
years ago a cashier In one of the na-
tional banks of the United States, in
New Mexico, was busy at work one I
evening in the office when his quick
ear detected some curious sounds.
They seemed to proceed from a sub-1
terranean region; and he was not longl
in concluding that robbers must be
tunneling from an adjoining building I
to the vault in the bank.
Guards were immediately posted in I
and around the building. Soon they I
observed the masonry of the bank
giving away. Meantime the robbers
appeared to be hard at work and quite
unaware that they were being
watched. At one o’clock in the morn-
ing a Mexican volunteered to descend
into the bank cellar so as to discover
the actual situation. Scarcely had he|
gone a few paces down the stairs than
he met some one coming up. The
