In the course of his remarks on
good roads at the Chamber of Com-
merce meeting Monday night, H. W.
Kuteman called attention to one reas-
on why gutters get stopped up and
give alleged cause to complain against
the city official. This is brought
about by citizens dumping trash
refuse in the gutters, especially -ra-
tings from their lawns. These cut-
tings lie there untouched until a rain
comes, when they at once give trou-
ble by causing the outlets to become
clogged. The reporter noticed three
places on prominent streets where
this very condition existed as he pas-
sed along to jjinner today. No names
are called, but you can follow hi*
route and see for yourself.
A Progressive Century.
The twentieth century has given us
a satisfactory treatment for rheuma-
tism. The American Drug and Press
Association, of which we are mem-
bers, are manufacturing a prepa-
tion called Meritol Rheumatism Pow-
ders, from a formula adopted by
the master medical experts has pro-
nounced it one of great merit. Give
Meritol Rheumatism Powders a trial.

After Operation Failed to Help,
Cardui Worked Like a Charm.
Jonesville, S. C.—“I suffered with
womanly trouble,” writes Mrs. J. 8.
Kendrick, In a letter from this place,
’’and at times, I could not bear to stand
on my feet The doctor said I would
never be any better, and that I would
have to have an operation, or I would
have a* cancer. ,
I went to the hospital, and they oper-
ated on me, but I got no better. They
said medicines would do me no good,
and I thought I would have to die.
At last I tried Cardui, and began to
Improve, so I continued using it. Now,

I don’t feel any pains.

Meeting of Missionary Society.
The weekly meeting of the Womans
Missionary Society of the First Meth-
odist church occurred at the home of
Mrs. W. M. Campbell Monday after-
noon. After an interval of two weeks
the study and discussion of China’s
New Day was again taken up. Many
members of the society have enroll-
ed themselves as members of the
reading course, and a lively and in-
creasing interest is manifested in the
startling and wonderful development
now taking place in this old empire,
which for unnumbered centuries had
her face always to the past, but has
at last awakened and found herself
transformed into a young republic.
This is a really remarkable little
book, bristling with marvelous ev-
ents and characters, as they have ap-
peared in the past decade. Withiirsi
period of six weeks it was prepared
and placed in the hands of the cen-
tral committee by Dr. Headland, for
thirty-five years a missionary in Pe-
king. It gave the society unusual
pleasure to meet at the home of Mrs.
Campbell and find it. brightened by
her own sweet presence, and to enjoy
her generous hospitality.

When the fight commenced this
hand of Indians had a naked Mexican
boy tied on a mule, which was loose |
with nothing on hint but the boy. j
Tlie mule ran here and there during j
the fight and the helpless captive yell- 1
ed lustily for tho rangers not to shoot
him, that ho was not an Indian. The
rangers had to rope the ntule and then
cut the strings loose before he could
he taken from the back of the mule.
This fight was on the Arroyo Gat to
(Cat Creek).
The horses taken from the Indians
in this fight, 197 in number, belonged
to a wealthy Mexican in Mexico, and
this was tlie reason why the Coman-
che's were gone so long from their
camp; it also explains the presence of
the captive Mexican boy—they had
been across tile Rio Grande. Captain
Ford notified the Mexican that the
rangers had recaptured bis horses and
for him to send for them. Three of
the rangers had lost horses in the
fight, Wilson, Lovel and Vol Rountree,
The latter fought with Walker’s party.
Others of the same squad were An-
drew Gatliff, Marvin K. McNeil! and
Albert Gallatin.
Mexican Is Xot Grateful.
Captain Ford told the three rangers
who had lost their horses in the fight
to select them a horse apiece of the
best out of the herd, which they did.
The rich old Mexican came in person
to receive his horses, and although
there were no charges for getting them
hack and keeping them under herd, he
raised a great row about those throe
that the rangers had taken. Thin
greatly provoked Captain Ford and
he told the Mexican to take the bal-
ance of his horses and get back Into
Mexico as soon as lie could or he
would let his men hang him, which
they were very anxious to do, anyway.
No use to say that he went and did
not stand oil the order of his going.
At the time of the last mentioned
fight Lieutenant Ed Burleson had been
sent to San Antonio by'Captain Ford
with ten nten to bring IK),uni) up to El
Vacas, commissary money for the uSe
of the rangers for supplies, pay, etc.
Tlie trip there was made without in-
cident! and thev returned to a point
2-7 miles west of where Lieutenant
Walker had had his fight, which was
lieutenant:
"Those Indians have been in a fight,
are mad, and going to give us hell.
Fulls Off Boots to Fight.
Lyons then dismounted and pulled
| off his boots and Burleson thought
I that, lie was going to abandon bis horse
land run off on foot, but lie was only
fixing himself to fight, as the Indians
were now coming at a charge and
yelling furiously. They made no halt
and engaged the rangers hand to hand
and a most sanguinary border battle
took place. Woundes were given and
received on all parts of the ground,
but finally the shattered remnant of
the Indian hand drew-off and quit the
field, half of their number being killed
and nearly all of tlie balance wounded.
Of the rangers, Baker Barton and Wm.
Lackey were killed, Lieutenant Burle-
son, Alfred Tom, James Sarr, Warren
Lyons and Miller were wounded. The
first man killed was Baker Barton
James Carr was wounded in two
places, one with tin arrow, which dis-
emboweled him. Alf Tom was shot
in the leg with an arrow and Lieuten-
ant Burleson was hit three times in
the head and arms. Spencer and
Lyons were also wounded, hut the lat-
ter. only slightly. He fought on foot
and ducked and dodged In and out
among Indians and horses and es-
caped many arrows and blows that
were aimed at him. His wounds were
glancing. His hat was shot from his
head. William Lackey was shot
through the lungs with an arrow; he
died later at Laredo. Most of the
wounded men were so badly hurt they
had to remain on the ground untill a
runner could tie sent to Captain Ford
who sent ambulances and had the
wounded conveyed to Laredo When
the arrow was withdrawn from the leg
of Alf Tom, the spike remained and
was not noticed in the confusion of
the fight and two years later the
wound was a running sore. Hit.
briber, Captain John Tom, at his re-
quest, made an incision with a sharp
knife, the spike was discovered and
extracted ami then the wound healed

The April Pub 1 ic Health Bulletin of

factor in the | a county may maintain more than
prevention of disease is the care of’one hospital under the provisions of
the sick, and the Association secured
the passage of a bill by the Thirty-
third Legislature, which in tim*’ will
result in the stabiishment of hos-
pitals in all par’s of the .State. A
summary of the bill follows:
Ten per cent of the qualified tax-
examination of such patients and pro-
vide needed treatment. (Section 8.1
Any resident of the county may ap-
ply to the Superintendent or to any
physician for admittance. (Sec. 9.)
When a patient Is admitted to the
hospital the Superintendent shall in-
quire into the financial condition of
tlie patient and his family, and if he
or they are able to pay all or part of
the cost of his keep, the Superintend-
ent may require such payment to be
made. (Section 10.)
"No uncared for sick in Texas in
19-—?" is the slogan of the movement.
"Ill what year will Texas report no
sick uncared for?” is the question put
up to the people, in speaking of the
work Mrs. Colquitt said:
“It is my sincere hope that every
county of the Stale with 10,000 or
more population will proceed, under
the McGregar-Colquitt County Hos-
pital Law, to establish county hos-
pitals and dispensaries for the sick,
and that there may be ’no uncaml for
sick in Texas in 191 s' and thereafter.
I appeal to all Texas, and especially
to the women, to act, so that each
community will become acquainted
with its needs and will make provision
ofr its own Hi« k at tlie earliest possi-
ble moment."
The Governor is supporting Mrs
Colquitt’s efforts. In his proclama-
tion for Health and Hospital Sunday.
October 27, 1912, he said:
••• • * The hospital facilities for
the sick, and the prevention of com-
municable disease are woefully in-
adeqiiate. Tubcr< uiotis and other
communicable divas* s should be
treated in hospitals for the prhee-
tion of the cointi'U?!i?y, and (very
county in the Htu’e should have a g? ;i-
eral hospital for the care of tin- indi-
gent siek and injured, with special
and separate provision for tub<T<’u-
losis and otlu r ootnniunteablo dis-
eases."
*'» • • I urge upon the county
commissioners of the various coun-
ties of Texas, serious consideration
of ttie needs of tludr county ill tin-
matter of hospi’al provision for tie-
sick, both as a matter of common
humanity and for the prevention of
disease.”
The Stale Health Department act-
ing under instructions from the Gov-
ernor is assisting In the movement
and a statement signed by the Depart-
! ment and by tie Anti-Tuberculosis
Association has been issued.
