The effect of the City Commission
and the ladies to rid the tovn of
weeds and filth accumulations is to
be commended. Some, however, are
paying little heed to their admoni-
tions tyid are allowing the weeds to
play riot in the front yards not to
mention the insurrection of thistles
in the back yards What are we,
the citizens of Hereford going to do
about it? It what? About those
who willfully refuse to either cut the
weeds and rake up their trash or to
assist in any way in cleaning the
town. Won't Hereford look like
winning a Holland clean town prise ?
Just as well talk about winning
wings in a burning brush heap.
While talking about weeds, would
it not be well to let the eye fall npon
the millions of bussing flies that are
swarming around the stores and
other places of business, not to say
around our dining tables at meal
time. Most of these flies are bred
and born right under the shadow of
our houses. The open vaults, the
filth piles in the rear of stores and
stables, are the principal breeding
places. If we kill all the flies others
will take their places poco tempo.
The mayor of Amarillo said the
other day that if Amarillo should
kill all their flies in one day, the
next would bring a million more un-
less their breeding places were
destroyed. Canyon has inaugurated
a "fly killing campaign," prises
amounting to $10 being offered by a
lumber company. This is all right
as far as it goes, but they should
offer a prise to the boy who would
find a clean privy or a clean stable
in the town.
Scraping the City.
The Commission has set about
clearing the streets of obnoxious
weeds and has employed J. P. Wood
to scrape the gutters and streets
with a road plow or scraper. This
machine takes up a lot of weeds,
but there are many corners and
nooks and places where the plow
cannot be pulled. The work done,
however, will be a long step in rid-
ding the town of weeds.
Weeds and Flies
The nuisances of any town are
weeds and flies. Both are the direct
result of pure and unadulterated
laziness; official inactivity of the
c ty authorities or the shameful
negligence of the citizens. Beginning
in time, both the weeds and flies
could be eradicated, but to wait
until our streets, alleys and yards
are full of weeds, and our stores and
houses are swarming with flies, J nd
then to make a noise like the ap-
proach of a national election, is
simply to the thief to steal our
horses while we hold the door open.
But it is well to provide against
losing a second horse.

121 Household
Remedies
25 Toilet
Preparations
It is well understood that there are many ail-
ments and diseases which for a variety of rea-
sons do not come under the observation and
care of the family physician. In the slight ail-
ments and injuries which are of every day oc-
currence, household remedies are universally
employed. It is because of this fact that the
Penslar remedies have been prepared and are
offered to the pnblic. They consist of a series
of well made, scientific preparations, each one
designed for a particular purpose, and each one
the best combination of remedies that can be
secured for the treatment of that particular
condition. The ingredients made use of are
the ones which experience has shown to be effec-
tive, and the proportion in which they are com-
bined has been made the subject of much care-
ful study in each case.
The PENSLAR REMEDIES are not sold
with the intention that they will to the slightest
extent take the place of the services of the
family physician, who should always be e*>n-

and we extend an invitation to every lady and gentleman in the city to call

suited at once in case of serious illness.
There is nothing secret about the composition
of the PENSLAR REMEDIES. Their active
constituents are standard remedies of the Phar-
macopoeia and in ever^ case the ingredients are
plainly stated. They are compounded by
pharmacists who have made a study of the art
of combining remedies, and no pains have been
spared to render them pleasant and palatable,
so far as this result can be secured without the
sacrifice of efficiency.
Furthermore the PENLAR REMEDIES are
guaranteed by the manufacturers to conform to
the requirements of the Pure Food and Drugs
Act, the label in each case bearing the guaran-
tee in accordance with the provisions of that
Act.
We believe in the efficiency of the PENSLAR
R EMEDIES, and have no hesitation in recom-
mending them unreservedly, believing that they
will meet the indications of the various condi-
tions for which they are offered.
