The Coming Capital
of Atascosa County
It Has Commercial Advantages Few Towns Can Claim
JOURDANTON is a town in a class by itself. No other town in Southwest Texas has an equal record in growth.
Thirteen months old with 1300 population proves the statement. No man of business judgment can visit
Jourdanton and investigate the surrounding country without believing in the great future in store for this
town. It is the largest town in Atascosa county—twice as large as any other town in the county. It is a
railroad town. It will soon be the junction of two railroads because the San Antonio, Rio (irande & Tampico
Railroad is building through Jourdanton. Twenty=three miles of this road has already been graded; ties are being laid
and steel is coming. Trains will be running before January 1. Trains will be running direct to San Antonio in less
than a year. Every modern city convenience is at Jourdanton but there are many opportunities for the business man
who can line up with people who are "doing something." Come to Jourdanton; see what is being done. We want you
to join us in building a city of consequence here. Property values are advancing rapidly. You had better come now.
If You Want to do Something Profitable tor Yourself Come So Jourdanton
THE FASTEST GROWING TOWN IN SOUTHWEST TEXAS
WRITE FOR INFORMATION TO
The Jourdanton Commercial Club
JOURDANTON, ATASCOSA COUNTY, TEXAS
SOLDIERS WILL PRESENT A VERY
DIFFERENT APPEARANCE.
Blanket Roll Will Disappear—Sweater
is to Replace Blouse—Long Over-
coat May (iive Way to a
Pea Jacket.
Within ii few months the uniform anil
equlpmt in of the soldiers at Fort Sam
Houston, as well as of the. army In gen-
eral, will undergo radical changes. Much
interest is being manifested in the plans
by the officers and mm located in San
Antonio.
Information has been received at Fort
Sam Houston that all of the recommenda-
tions of the Infantry Equipment Board
have been approved by the War Depart-
ment, with the exception of those that
have been referred to the Cavalry Board
lor concurrence.
Among the more important items which
have been sent, to the Cavalry Board,
which is now in session at Kock Island,
are the service hat, t'ne short overcoat
or pea jacket, the sweater, the shelter
tent, the poncho, the dispatch case and
the insignia to bo placed on the service
shirt. This part of the equipment, it is
thought, can be used by both services.
Among the reforms to be inaugurated
will be that the blanket, roll, so long
closely associated with the appearance
of the soldiers, will tie dispensed with.
OVERTAXED
Hundreds of San Antonio Readers
Know What It Means.
The kidneys nre overtHiPfi ;
Have too murh to do.
Thev tell about it Id many nctaes nud
pJiitlS—
Bnfkaobe, sideache. headache.
Karly symptoms of kidney Ills.
Irinary troubles, diabetes. Brlsrlit's
disease follow.
A San Antonio citizen Ml* here thp way
to keep the kidneys well.
Mrs. M. 8. Freeman. 434 Presa Street.
San Antonio, Tex., says: "Since usinK
Iran's Kidney Pills over a year ago 1
have enjoyed good health and T have rec-
ommended this remedy to many other
people. I am pleased to verify the public
testimonial I gave in 1907 in favor of this
preparation." (Statement give in June.
1908.)
Tills endorsement to which Mrs. Free
man refers was in substance as follows:
"T suffered a great deal from pains in
my back and I bad an iden that my kid
ne>a were disordered. When the kidney
necretions became irregular in passage I
was convinced of this fact and accordingly
procured a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills.
The use of one hoi helped me and In a
short, time I was entirely rid of kidney
trouble."
For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
Foster-Mllburn Co., Buffalo, New York,
sole agents for the United States.
Pemember the nam*- Doan's - and take
no other.
Under the new plan the entire load of the
full equipment is to be placed on the
back, the arms of the soldiers beinp left
free to handle the gun. The new plan
Iso allows*a full expansion of the chest
and will greatly add to the appearance of
the army. Even with full equipment the
front view of the soldier does not show
any of the load which he is carrying on
his back. His blanket and other equip-
ment will be rolled up on his back so
that ho can sleep without much discom-
fort in full equipment.
REFORMS ARE RADICAL.
Another radical reform will be the re-
placing of the blouse In field service by
the sweater. It is not fashioned after the
athletic sweaters in common use, but Is
more like tlio jerseys *rnrn a few years
:igo. It will button up the front with
bright buttons.
The handkerchief, which is to be worn
around the neck, will be olive-drab color
and twenty-four to twenty-eight inches
square.
The short overcoat, or pea jacket, was
selected by the Infantry Board to re-
place the present ions overcoats. It is
understood the Cavalry Board is opposed
to this change and it may not be finally
adopted.
With the changes in uniform and equip-
ment the regulars of the United States
will in appearance resemble closely the
soldiers of the more advanced military
nations of Europe. It is believed Jthe
new changes will give the soldier much
more freedom and comfort in his move-
ments.
REVIEW IS ANNOUNCED
Two Regiments Will Re Mustered on
Friday.
There will be two regimental reviews at
Fort Sam Houston Friday morning, but
at different places.
The Third Cavalry will be reviewed by
the commanding officer. Major Percy
Trippe, on the mounted drill grounds at
8 o'clock
The Twenty-second Infantry, Col Al-
fred Reynolds commanding, will be re-
viewed at the same hour on the Upper
Post, drill grounds.
This will give the citizens of San Anto-
nio an opportunity of choosing between
which regiments they prefer to witness
in review, the cavalry or the artillery.

AUSTIN, Tex., Sept, 28. The University
of Texas today opened Its doors for the
new scholastic year. One thousand stu-
dents were present, many of them girls.
The official figures from the auditor's
office show a total of lie registering, as
against 108 at this time last year, hut it
Is remembered that last year's total for
the complete registration was 16110. Antong
those receiving permits to enter were
seventy-five from other colleges
A new feature of the admission is the
registration by departments, Instead of
by two separate schools as formerly.
Academic, engineering and education de-
partments each now receive their own
students and register them singly. The
academic, department is expected to show
a large Increase this year and so is the
engineering school. The law department
does not expect a heavy enrollment,
chiefly on account of the raised require
ments for admission. It is now necessary
for an applicant to have had a year's
college work or its equivalent before
entering the law school

WHAT MOTHERS
SHOULD KNOW
We helieve all mothers should
know that Cuticura soap and oint-
ment afford a pure, sweet and
most economical treatment for
itching, burning infantile humors,
eczemas, rashes and irritations
which, if neglected, often become
chronic and cause a lifetime of
misery because of pain and dis-
figuration. a warm bath with
Cuticura soap, followed by a gen-
tle application of Cuticura oint-
ment usually brings immediate re-
lief, baby sleeps, worn-out, worried
parents rest and peace falls on a
distracted household.

Such Interest as This
Is Shown In Sutherland Springs
A prominent business man of San Antonio who
left here several days ago, after having spent his
vacation here, was so enthusiastic over the splendid
chance for investment here, in telling a man who
had asked him about this place, that the man ex-
pressed a desire to purchase two of our contracts.
The deal was immediately closed and our recent
visitor telephoned to me that he had sold two con-
tracts for me, and that they were so easy to sell that
he desired to become an agent for this company.
I might add that this man himself already owns
four lots here and is building a residence on two of
them.
Names and facts gladly furnished upon request
to anyone who is skeptical as to the truth of these
statements.
