"Down By
the Old Mill
Stream"
: Brings Before Us the Memory of Bygone Days
The old method of milting was good in
its time—the product was satisfactory
because it was a decided improvement
over the primitive method of making
breadstuff. The scientific methods of
modern milling have perfected the pro-
duct. An example of modern milling
perfection can always be found in a
sack of
"Home Made"

HENRY GRADY ON SALOONS.
At the time the speech from which
the following is taken wm made,
Beady was editor of the Constitu-
tive, Atlanta, Ga. There was a hot
pMhibltlon fight on in that city,
which resulted in closing saloons;
"Saloons do business by authority of
these who vote for them. Rvery
vafter Is, therefore, responsible for
What saloons do.
'Today it strikes a crust from the
li|H of a starving child, and tomor-
row levies tribute from government
itd#f.
"It defies the law when it cannot
ceerte suffrage.
"It Is flexible to cajole, but mer-
clless in victory.
"It is the mortal enemy of pence
sad order, the despoller of men and
terror of women, the cloud that
shadows the face of children, the de-
aten that has dug more graves and
it more souls unsaved to judg-
it than all the pestilences that
have wasted life since God sent tho
plagues to Egypt, and all the wars
slace Joshua stood before Jericho.
"It comes to ruin, and it shall pro-
fit mainly by the ruin of your sonB
aat mine.
"It comes to mislead human souls
aat to crush human hearts under its
rumbling wheels.
"It comes to bring gray-haired
■ethers down In shame and sorrow
ta their graves.
"It comes to change the wife's
lave into despair and her pride into
shame.
"It comes to still the laughter on
the lips of the little children.
"It comes to stifle all tho music of
the home and fill it with silence and
desolation.
"It comes to ruin your body and
mind, to wreck your home, and It
kaows it must measure its prosper-
ity by the swiftness and certainty
with which it wrecks the world."
Kansas this fall. This remarkable
confession Is the outgrowth of the
bitter feud between Kansas Republi-
cans and Bull MooBers. The latter
control the party organization and
their state and electoral candidates
are running as Republicans—thus
depriving the Taftltes of the use of
their party name.
In retaliation many thousands of
Kansas Republicans have Joined the
Republican Party league, an organi
zatlon committed to the support of
Democrats in preference to Progress-
ives.
The Journal sums up the situation
In these words:
"It must be admitted that condi-
tions in Khnsas seem to justify this
awakened hope of Democracy, Al-
though Kansas is normally Republi-
can in a presidential year by at least
30,000 or 40,000, no Progressive
candidato can hope to be elected by
any such majority this year. As
long as the Republican ticket is
made up largely of Roosevelt parti-
sans, Republican voters fool no alle-
giance to it as a whole. They are
no lesB Ibyul Republicans for thiB
sentiment but all tlie more bo. They
feel that the only way their party
can be restored to its rightful place
in Kansas is to send to defeat every
candidato who trlen to deceive tho
voters by wearing the Republican
badge while warmly supporting a
man who is trying with all his might
to destroy the Republican party."
If this Republican row gets much
fiercer, the electoral college may
have the opportunity to elect Wil-
son and Marshall by acclamaUon.—

BOYS IN POOL HALLS.
A representative of this paper was
a visitor at the office of Ta* Assess-
or I. K. Reeves a few days ago,
and In'going through the books
found that the total property valu-
ations of Collin county for the year i
1912 showed a decrease of $1,083,-!
t> 10 under the total valuations of the
year 1911.
For the year 1911 the city valua-
tions of property amounted to $2,-
190,G45, compared with $2,262,3f.5

shows an increase in the city proper-
ty of $01,720 for the present year.

tive and will be read with Interest.

A WONDERFUL HEALING IN-
FLUENlE IN KIDNEY
TROUBLES.
A year and a half ago I was taken
with a severe attack of kidney trou-
ble that pained me to such an extent
that morphine had to be given me.
Was attended by a doctor who pro-
nounced It as stone in the bladder
and prescribed Lithia Water. I took
Lithia Water and tabletB for some
time and received no relief from
them. 1 stopped talcing medicines
for some time and having some of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root in the
house, I decided to try it and felt
much relieved; while taking the
second bottle commenced to pass
gravel; in all at least a half a dozen
or more and nave not suffered the
slightest since and in all have taken
one bottle and a half and feel very
grateful to Swamp-Root.
Yours very truly,

REPUBLICANS HOPELESS.
The Kansas City Journal is a stal-
wart Republican paper. It wears
the party collar and supports the
policies of that party whether it be-
lieves In them or not. And yet this
paper freely admits that the Demo-
•vats stand a good chance to carry
The executive committee of the
Chiefs of Police and City Marshals'
Association recommends a law to
exclude minors from pool halls. The
suggestion Is wise, for there is
much evil In the surroundings and
practices of these pleasure resbrts
as many of them nowadays are con-
ducted.
If current report Is correct there
is no little gambling among pool
players. Of course, It is gambling
of n kind, for tho loser to pay the
charge for a game, but that may be
accounted a harmless forfeit which
Is common in many sports. But that
isn't the gambling which we have in
mind. Besides paying the proprie-
tor's necessary charge, it is fre-
quently the case that the players lay
wagers on the result and many per-
sons are tempted to engage in the
sport for the hope of gain. It may
be granted that proprietors are not
aware of these wagerB, or cannot
prevent them, and still the practice
calls for some remedy, especially
with respect to weak and indiscreet
youths who may be easily led astray
and become victims of the gambling
passion.
It is true, also, that pool playing
in most cities and towns, especially
where there are no organized sports,
is indulged in beyond reasonable
hours or tempts youths to neglect
their school duties or their business
responsibilities. The pool playing
habit may easily bo acquired and if
not restrained in some manner will
cause many a young man to wasto
his time or to spend his recreation
hours In an unwholesome atmos-
phere and with demoralizing com-
panions.
We are far from discouraging le-
gitimate sports. Men as well as
boys must have recreation, and
clean games are to be approved, but
the ordinary pool room these days
Prove What Swamp-Root
For Yon.
Send to Dr. Kilmer ft. Co., Blng-
hamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle.
It will convince anyone. You will
also receive a booklet of valuable
Information, telling all about the
kidneys and bladder. When writing
be sure and mention the Weekly
Democrat-Gazette. Regular 0fty-
cent and one dollar size bottles for
sale at all drug atores.
Is far from ideal In respect to
health or morals.
There will be no little difficulty
In framing a law to cure the evils
of pool rooms without infringing
upon proper freedom of business
and healthful liberty of recreation
but the subject deserves attention.

A man who has a weak and impaired stomaeh and whe

uate of the University of Texas, and
also of the Yale University Law
School. He was in private practice
only three years when he was sent
to Congress, and now he is to adorn
the Senate.
It has been complained of late
that eloquence Is no longer heard In
the Senate, whose walls formerly
reverberated to the most profound
oratory. Sheppard will revive the
ancient custom. He is the long dis-
tance talker of Congress and can
use more adjectives In a given num-
ber of words than any man living.
His poetic sould would burst If he
did not get off an occasional fancy.
He is said to be a greater orator
than Clay, Webster and Calhoun
combined, which is going some even
for Texas.— Philadelphia Inquirer.

Messrs. T. J. Moreland and Lewis
Whltson, both prosperous farmers of
Ardath, and who live on adjoining
farms, were in town Saturday. In
conversation with a representative
of this paper these gentlemen stated
that they had sold their farms to a
Mr. Gordon, at Waxahachle. Mr.
Gordon purchased the farms with
the Intention of moving on them and
making this county his future home.
Mr. Moreland had 100 acres In his
farm and Mr. Whltson 50 acres.
Both farms are well Improved and
have good dwelling houses. These
gentlemen received the fancy price
of $100 per acre for their land.
Mr. Moreland said, "Mr. Whltson
Is going to move to South Texaa, but
I am going to stick to Collin conn?
