It is easier to keep well
and costs you less
The main thing is to pay reasonable attention to your
diet, chase the poisonous secreations out of your system,
aveid colds and grippes, and take an occasional tonic to
keep the blood flowing properly through your arteries.
You'll find everything you need right here at this drug

If airships continue to drop
bombs on kings' palaces there
will soon be a royal stampede for
peace, Richmond Coaster.
We never know how much we
'loved our dear ones until they
have passed away. We seldom
" think of each other until, per-
haps, it is too late. Let us try
scatter sunshine and flowers
ilong life's pathway.
We are informed that Repre
sentative Haney is preparing a
ill which provides for the pub-
lication of all legal notices. The
measure carries the endorse-
ment of a large majority of the
members of the Texas Press
Associati6n. Our meagre influ-
ence w 11 be devoted toward its
ultimate passage.
After serving the public in the
newspaper harness for a period
extending over nearly forty
years in this section, Mr. P: 0.
Wilson, owner of the Taylor
Democrat, passed away at his
home in Taylor last Friday. Mr.
Wilson was an honor to the
profession honorable, upright
and righteous. He is survived
bv a widow, one son ana a
daughter, to whom the Tribune
extends profound sympathy.
A copy of "Life" reached our
desk this week containing a
marked article under the cap-
tion "The Inferiority of the Ne-
gro." Here it is:
Our friends down South, being
sure that the negroes are infer
ior, denv them advantages and
provide inferior schools for negro
children in order that they will
continue to be inferior and thus
prove the contention of the sci-
entists and sentimentalists that
the negro is inferior. After all,
there Is nothing quite so satisfy-
ing as the feelinir that you have
got things fixed so that you will
alwa s have an inferior race in
your midst.
We Dresume that the above
is the product of some offspring
from a shrewd Yankee who pos-
sihly engaged in the capture of
the negroes in Africa and sold
them into slavery to southern
planters, At that time our Yan-
kee friends did not seem solici-
tous for the negroes' welfare.
But if our friends in New York
really have such a tender regard
for their advancement let us by
all means arrange for their
transportation. Under the di-
rection of the sociologists of New
York we would not be surprised
to awaken some morning to learn
that the Goddess of Liberty had
been removed from her pedestal
and that her body contained
marks of personal violence.
Bread Upon the Waters
In a scathing denunciation af
a political opponent a Texas pol-
itician once declared. "He has
every characteristic of a dog ex
eept his graiitude."
Gratitude has ever been re
garded us one of the cardinal
virtues and it makes up in some
measure, at least, for the lack of
other virtues. A man cannot be
wholly bad, no matter how great
his sins, if he manifests grate-
ful appreciation of a kindness
bestowed when opportunity of-
fers; as no man is wholly good
who lacks the spark of gratitude
and smites the hand that suc-
cored him.
It was this divinity that stirred
within his soul that prompted
the lone highwayman in St.
Louis to return tne result of a
nocturnal hold-up when ho dis-
covered that his victim was a
man who had repondid to his
appeal for succor in a time of
bodily need. It was hunger
that impelled him to ask the
price of something to eat and,
perhaps, it was hunger that im-
pelled him to the desperate re-
sort of the highwayman.
Few of us are so strong that
we may not yield to temptation
in a moment of great stress of
circumstances, few of us so vir-
tuous that we may not fail to
"put Satan behind us" under an
overpowering influence. Some-
times we judge to harshly of our
sinful fellow man. but the chord
of sympathy is touched when he
eyidences the divine spark thac
we call gratitude and we know
there is good in him if a way
could be found to develop its
potentialities. Ex.
The Georgetown Commercial
states that Mr. F. A. Wilson of
Granger has been appointed dep-
uty sheriff by Sheriff Lee Allen.

(5 A plan is now being suggested
whereby the Farmers' Union
t " , are to finance the 1915 cotton
', "crop. This is another great
1 , scheme emanating from some
i' ponderous and prolific brain,
"To those who are directing the
7' i affair we beg them to please ad-
vise.a suffering public from what! own
source will the farmer procure
lhis finances with which to finance
fc a prospective ciop, the market
' value of which is controlled by a
r gang of carniverous blood-suck-
ing gamblers. If the Farmers'
Union can finance the crop and
gain any advantage in the mat-
ter of price quotations, they had
feetter quit the plow and the
harrow and join the "interests"
' who fix- the pricesfof their labor
and their products.
It's a sad story but not an un
usual one. A Dallas young man
blew out his brains in Fort Worth
Saturday. The young man had
been well raised, he possessed
splendid business qualifications
and held a position as bookkeeper
with one of the largest mercan-
tile house of Dallas. But he was
a high liver. . He spent more
Lthan his salary and made a great
snow, and in order to do so ne
used money that was not his
Finally it became known
that he was a defaulter and he
hurridly left town. Officers pur-
sued him and when he saw them
he took his own lite. He "who
violates the "thou shalt nots" of
the moral code must pay the pen-
alty. And he who lives beyond
his means travels a road that
only leads to destruction.
Honey Grove Signal.
Harry Thaw, the murderer of
Stanford White, has been re-
manded to the Matteawan asy-
lum, from which he had pre-
viously escaped. The Thaw for-
tune has been th. ! root of the
whole disgraceful matter. Had
it i occurred in Texas the affair
would have been forgotten by
tnis time, and Harry would now
be decorated with medals and a
halo. But with the diminishing
number of the Thaw dollars we
are impelled to believe that all
interest in the case will dwindle
just so rapidly as the money
vanishes. The picnic of the
numerous legal talent has al-
most come to a close.

hundred years ago aroused a
handful of hornets who broke
the back of autocracy and lead
to our freedom. But present
indications point to a return to
the very thing from which we
were once compelled to break
the bonds.
A modern motto: '
the root of all evil."
'Honesty is
It is all well enough for our
capitalists and boards of trade
gamblers to advise the farmers
as to the best methods of crop
diversification, and to keep his
mind entirely on his crops while
they are fleecing him to a finish.
The supply of money fixes the
price of labor and products in
this or any other country under
the sun. An unequal distribu-
tion of wealth, or those things
which produce wealth, enables
the lavored classes to operate on
a cash basis, while the masses of
the people have a very scant
supply not enough to do one-
half their business on a cash
basis. And this forces a credit
system that means usury and
bondage, which conditions are
never an accident, but are coldblooded.

Uncle Sam that cotton was con-

The fundamental definition of
gamoling is "getting something
for nothing." Whenever this is
done it makes no diffenence
what the nature of the transac-
tion, whether it be at cards, deal-
ing in futures, horse racing, or
what-not, 'the principal is violat-
ed, as much in one instance as
another. GamblingSis a n in
stinct of the race; if not an in
stinct it has been inborn through
so many generations that it has
become second nature at least,
and, without the most perfect
self-control, the disposition in
some way or another is shown in
every individual. Understand,
we are not upholding gambling,
for in reality it is a vice, and its
vicious tendencies should be
guarded against as much as any
any other vice. But, like other
vices, public opinion is partial in
its frowna For instance, a man
can gamble in stocks and no
avenue of the social world is
closed to him, but instead he can
become a devout (?) church
member, can move in the high-
est circles of society, can fill any
political position, and when he
dies he will be buried with pomp
and honor, while a fellow-man,
in choosing the shuffling of cards
as a means of satisfying the
gambling bent in himself, will
be scoffed at, hounded irom
thicket to thicket, from outhouse
to outhouse, brought before the
bar of justice and through a cell
in the penitentiary finally reach
a pauper's grave. Both of them
are gamblers one as vicious as
the other; but one is protected
by the lav; and the other prose-
cuted by it. -Bertram Banner,

WAS WAYLAID
Taylor, Feb. 8. C. F. Heinzke
of Elgin Route No. G, was held
up, hit on 1 1 e head and robbed
Saturday night while afoot com-
ing to Taylor from Thrall. The
sum of forty dollars in currency
was taken from him.
Mr. Heinzo had reached Bull
Branch, about one-half a mile
east of town when two men ap-
proached him, one striking him
over the head with a club and
temporarily stunning him. As
he sought to arise, one caught
his arm and severely wrenched
it, holding thus while the other
took the currrency from his
pocket. They overlooked some
change in silver in a vest pocket
and also leaving his watch, tak-
ing nothing but the currency.
