ARE LONG SUFFERING.
NEW MAIL SCHEME
Mr. Pope Came Here to Induce Steam-

Land Letter Bags at New-
port England.
Associated Press.
New York Nov. 30 —S A Pope. as-
cistant general manager of the Great
Western railway of England has just
finished three months tour of railroad
inspection in the United States and
Canada In the interest of his comi*any.
He sails for Contend tomorrow on
the liner Caronia In an interview
yesterday Mr. Pope said:
"The principal object of my visit
to America was to get the Atlantic
•teamships to land their mails at our
Newport on the coast of Pembroke-
shire. It Is 259 miles from I»ndon
and the journey is made in 11 hours.
The Cunard Une with Its new steam-
■hlps can no longer use Quenstown
as a port of call for the mails. When
I camo out on the Lucania I waited
there for four hours and missed land-
ing In New York on Friday night.
"I have seen the postmaster general
here and in Ottawa to discuss our
scheme with them. I have been much
Impressed with all I have seen but
the railroad conditions iti Bngland are
Very different to those in this country.
In America freight comes before pas-
kMgers and with us ft is the reverse.
"The safety signals in America
could be very much Improved and the
appalling number of accidents pre-

that ths English people would not

are packed into Pullman cars at night.
(With us each person has a compart-
ment and a bed. The road beds in
the east are good but they are bad In
the west and so they are in Canada.
"Americans are a long suffering peo-

RHEUMATISMS
THE STRONGEST CONSTITUTION
Rheumatism is caused by a sour acid condition of the blood brought
on by curouic constipation weak kidneys poor digestion and a general
sluggish condition of the system. Because of these irregularities the
refuse an 1 waste matters of the body are not promptly expelled but
are left to s ir and ferment producing irritating acids which are taken
up by the blood : 11 distributed to all parts of the system. This acrid mat-
ter weakens and -vases the blood so that instead of supplying the body
with nourishing healthful properties it deposits the poison with which it is
loaded into the muscles nerves bones and joints and Rheumatism gets
complete control ! the system. Some suffer almost constantly with the
disease while others have intervals of freedom during which they
live in constant dread of the next attack when an exposure tc
Cold or dampness or some other irregularity will cause the symp-

REMEMBERED
THANKSGIVING DAY OBSERVED
IN SAN ANTONIO ON LARGE
SCALE THIS YEAR.
SUNSHINE IN JAILS
nmates There Had Their Turkey Din-
ner as Did Also Patients in the
Different Hospitals.
Thanksgiving day was generally
j ceebruteri in San Antonio on a larger
: icale than usual. It 1* doubtful J
there was anyone overlooked in the
invitations sen: out by various snd
sunuii heads of tammes. Turkeys
wue slaughtered unmercifully by all
classes and conditions of man. Pris-
on-rs in the county jail pnseners in
■he city jail and old bacnelora were
all looked alter by the kind-hearted.
San Antonio is prosperous end all
the country surrounding it is in the
same condition consequently all had
I something to be thankful for.
Sh< rift Tobin rook care of the in-
mates of his little rock jail. The ev
eryuay fare which is really bet'er
than one ge's in an ordinary restau-
rant was discarded and in its place
tin real Thanksgiving article. It
is difficult to see just what some of
his guests on the occasion had out of
the ordinary to be thankful for but
each had a Tittle something.
At the city jail the menu was strict-
ly up to the highest standard. There
was a trifle more for the prisoners
here ot be thankful for. None of them
has to stay long.
Thanksgiving day was celebrated at
' the city hospital also. City Physicians
S. Burg and R. L. Withers and Mrs.
Nat Washer each donated a number
of birds. The steward. C. A. Zoeller or-
deied turkey for the day Instead of
the usual meats. The patients who
were able to eat anything had an en-
joyable time.
Services were held at nearly all of
the churches in the city tests being
appropriate to the occasion.

Can You Use Food
When You Get It?
Thousands of Stomachs Starving
Where Mouths Are Well Fed.
Costs Nothing to Relieve
This Condition.
Eating is fast becoming too much a
part of the dally routine if not a mere
tickling ot the appetite—a thing to be
gotten out of the way as quickly as
possible. Little thought is given to
"what kind of food." its effect upon the
system and whether It will be of use
in building up the tissues of the body.
Yout stomach will revolt. If It is not
already doing so. It must shut up for
repairs. What of the dizziness and
sometimes pain which stop you after
a hurried lunch? What of the general
distress after a heavy dinner a feel-
ing of pressure against the heart
which calls a halt and makes the
breathing difficult? Is It common for
you to be oppressed with belching and
sour eructations? Are you constipated
and then do you laughingly toss a
dime to the druggist for his most pala-
table relief? Beware of temporary
cures that are but pallatives. Many
antidotes for the common ills which
our flesh is heir to seem at first to
relieve but in reality if not injecting
poison into the system lay the foun-
da* ion for a deeper-seated and more
far-reaching disorder.
Three-fourths of all diseases origi-
nate with a breaking-down of the di-
ge.Mlon and nine-tenths of all digestive
troubles originate with one or more of
the sy mptoms named above.
Beware then of Indigestion and
Dyspepsia If you find yourself aching
listless lacking in ambition when you
should be on the alert.
Do not doctor the stomach.
It needs a rest from food and drugs.
Do not flush out the bowels.
It takes more than forcing food
through the passageway to make
blood and tissue and nerve.
Do not starve your stomach.
Food la a thing to be worked for all
there is in it and your stomach
u 111 do the work If you will help
it In Nature’s way.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets contain
nothing but the natural elements which
I enter into the healthy stomach and in-
| testines to perform the function of dl
eestion. Governmental tests and the
investigations and sworn oaths of ex-
pert chemists attest this fact. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets go to the source
of the'trouble and positively restore
i th • glands and fluids of the mucous
! membrane to their proper condition.
I They promptly relieve the distress of
all troubles originating in the stomach
or bowels (with the one exception of
cancer).
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are rec-
ommended by pnysicians and ail reli-
able pharmacists. If you are a sufferer
from indigestion or dyspepsia try a

ASKS QTY’S AID
OPEN LETTER SENT TO NAT M.
WASHER ON HARBOR DREDG-
ING QUESTION.
WANT TO GET DATA
Federal Engineers Said to Have Inti-
mated That Work Would Be Done
If Conditions Warranted it.
The following open letter has been
sent to President Nat M. Washer ot
the San Antonio Business Men's club;
Aransas Pass. Tex. Nov. 28 19U6.
Mr. Nat M. Wasner President Busi-
ness Men's Club San Antonio Tex.
Dear Sir—1 take the liberty of ad-
dressing you in this open letter on
a subject which 1 consider of para-
mount importance to San Antonio and
all west and southwest Texas.
The people of this section had a
very satisfactory meeting with the
government engineers at Corpus
Christi on last Saturday. All regret-
ted that San Antonio did not have a
strong delegation there to aid in fur-
nishing the desired information to the
engineers as to the necessity of open-
ing the harbor at Aransas Pass.
It is not too late for your club and
the people ot San Antonio to furnish
to the board of engineers the desired
information.
In asking Information the boar;!
says: "While oral statements are of
value lmi»ortant facts and statistics
should be submitted in writing for
the board. In order that they may be-
come of record In accordance with
law."
All the Information secured must
be sent to the board of engineers for
river* and harbors Colorado building
Washington D. C.
The engineers gave us to understand
as far as they could consistently do
so. that if the people Interested in
the improvement of this harbor would
furnish data to justify it the improve-
ment would be put under the continu-
ing contract system and pressed to
completion as rapidly as possible.
We have all the commerce neces-
sary to induce this improvement. If
can place the facts as they ac-
tually exist before the board of en-
gineers. Now Is thR titne for your
city and county and every town
counts In the territory tributary to
Aransas Pas* harbor to prepare a
plain and correct statement of the
products such as cotton wool and
hides and every other product which
b shipped out of the county and also
a statement of all lumber merchan-
dfst and every other article brought
into the cities town* and counties. 5
Also prepare a statement showing
approximately the number of acres
of agricultural land in the county not
in cultivation.
I respectfully cal! the attention of
every newspaper. In all this territory
to this most Important matter and
ask them to urge their people to or-
ganize secure the data and forward
without delay. •
I respectfully ask the business clubs
In every town the county Ju a and
all the business men In every county
r>mnJ*A- •>«»>>• the data from their
Mrs. WHALEY
county and forward as soon as pos-
sible.
The real estate men should take an
I active part in this work. Nothing
I would expedite their sales so much
as the knowledge that this port was
to be open to commerce.
I need not go into details as to the
benefits which would result from open-
ing this harbor.
There is a sure way to secure
speedily prosperity for all west and
southwest Texas and that is to secure
deep water at Aransas Pass without
delay.
There is a store way to secure deep
water at Aransas Pass without delay
and that is for every one Interested
i tn organize and furnish promptly to
| the board of engineers the data that
thej- request and that will convince
them that commerce demands the im-
mediate opening of the harbor at Ar-
ansas Pa c s.
Yours truly T. B. WHEELER.

"Two Bottles ot Cooper’s New Dis*

THE COOPER MEDICINE CO.
Gentlemen: —For year* I have been a vic-
tim of stomach trouble. Everything I ate
disagreed with me and I did not seem to
derive any nourfshment or atrength from
my food.
When 1 began taking Cooper'* New Dis-
covery. I did not expect the result* would
be different from all the other medicine* I
had used but before the second bottle was
gone every trace of my aliment had disap-
peared and I could eat and enjoy a hearty
meal and am gaining in strength and flesh.
Cooper s New Discovery is a splendid rem-
edy. I know that it cures stomach trouble.

Can You Eat and Enjoy a Hearty Meal?
If not then you need Cooper’s New Discov-
ery. It builds up the gastric juices of the stom-
ach so that food digests instead ot fermenting
and the blood receiving pure nourishment from
the digested food. Instead of the poisonous acid
from food which has fermented strengthens
every organ of the body through which it flows.
PURE BLOOD IS THE LIFE.
COOPER'S NEW DISCOVERY
MAKES PURE BLOOD.
Cooper's New Discovery costs 11.00 per bot-
tie; six for 35 00. Cooper's Quick Relief the
assistant remedy costs 50c. per bottle. Buy
from the dealer whose name appears below or
where we have no dealer send the price direct
to the Cooper Medicine Co. Dayton Ohio and
the medicines will be forwarded to you charges

Mississippi there would be an equal
number coming here through New Or-
leans. but the newspapers In th’ south-
west will not print advertisements ;>t
Texas and the railroads there will not
join in a rate to Texas that would
make traveling possible to people wno
are hunting new homes. In those old
states they are afraid of losing all
their population.
