ROOFING
Any kind of a roof is alright when it is not rain-
ing but during the winter months a leaky roof is
aggravating whether it be in the home, bam or out
houses around the place. Don’t try to put up with
an old roof again this winter when at a very small
cost you can repair it or replace it with a new one.
We have a complete stock of shingles and dif-
ferent lengths of corrugated iron roofing to suit
your needs. Get the size of your roof and come jn
and let us estimate the cost of the material you
will need.
Don’t wait longer—DO IT NOW!

TURKEY SEASON IN FULL BLAST
Turkeys have been marketed here in
large numbers for several days and
the dressing plants are busy prepar-
ing them for the Thanksgiving mar-

past week that the" ./local crop-was
supplying, all the turkeys they coaid
handle me an offer had been turned
down from a distance to buy a car of
turkeys which were pooled bv the
farmers. The local Territory always
furnishes a large amount of tin keys
and this year there seems to be a
larger cicp than usisl.

CONCERNED ABOUT THE
RUMOR OF PASSPORTS
Doom, Holland, Nov. 13.—William
Hohenzollern, the former German em-
pm 01. goes calmly about his cusn-
mary tasks at Doom house notwith-
standing the reports which have gone
abroad tuat he was preparing to do
part for the Fatherland. It is assort
ed here that there is no foundation
for the report that he and the mem-
bers of his entourage have been grant-
ed passports for a journey to Berlin
ui elsewhvie in German* 1/, and those
ch.se to him declare that he has no
ten lion of leaving Doom.
Dr. Kan, of the Dutch ministry of
the interior, who had a Unr confer-
ence with the former emperor yester
day, may have had something to do
with the announcement that the for-
mer war lord would continue to re-
side in Holland for it is believed that
the purpose of his visit was t8 in
quire into the ex-kaiser’s position and
to reiterate, in view of the crown
prince’s hasty departure, the difficul
ties that might face Holland at the
hands of the allies if the head of the
“FREAKS AND PECULIAR
THINGS” FOUND IN LAWS
Austin, Texas, Nov. 9,-The board jjouse ot Doorn followcd in his son’s
of codifiers has found “freaks and j0CKsteps.
peculiar things” in the civil and crim-
inal statutes over which they are now
going carefully.
“All of this is to be eliminated,”
Judge June C. Harris, a member of
the codifying board, said Friday, “and
the board is endeavoring to write the
statutes so clearly that the bar and
the public will be able to understand
what the law says. We are trying to
get rid of every contradiction, and
there are many in the statutes and to
take out all ambiguities and all dupli-
cation.”
All ground work has been completed
and the three codifiers are going thru
the statutes proper in rewriting the
various articles.

An unusually large crowd attended
the regular monthly meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce Wednesday at
the Moore Hotel, and there was new
interest manifested, and from pres-
ent indications the organization will
soon have to begin its weekly meet-
ings again.
President Gordon Mackey was in
the chair and called for reports of
committees. Ray S. Carney reported
for the football banquet committee by
stating that the committee collected
$33.00 for the banquet among the
business men, $17.50 of which went
to pay for the banquet and the remain-
ing $15.50 was turned over to Ed
Hocker for the Athletic Association.
T. W. McKnight reported that upon
investigation he found that the num-
ber attending the state meeting of the
Eastern Star order was something like
three thousand, therefore he made no
further investigation, as Lampasas ! »*♦
could not at this time entertain this !£
number. ! X
Secretary Roy L. Walker stated that j J*
in his financial report at the beginning j
of the new ^ear it showed that the
Chamber of Commerce was $200.00 in
debt. He authorized the Chamber of
Commerce to cut his salary from $100
to $75 per month, and with some oth-
er revenues that came into the organ- ; X.
ization, the indebtedness had been i »!♦
liquidated. ! £
Mr. Walker stated that he had been
in communication with W. A. Spen-
cer, secretary of the Temple Chamber
of Commerce, and that a committee
from Temple would be here Thursday
evening to meet in the interest of a
highway between here and Temple,
and asked that a similar committee
from Goldthwaite and Lometa meet
here with the Temple committee
Thursday evening. It is proposed that
this highway will run through Kemp-

pasas county, and will connect with
Mills county and Bell county and give
us a public highway that will be ad-
equate for ail kinds of weather and
other local conditions. It was stated
at the meeting during the discussion,
that the state has something like one
million dollars that is to be ,spent on
the State Highways and that now is
Lampasas’ opportunity to get a state
public highway. A motion was made
to appoint a committee to meet with
the Temple committee Thursday ev-
ening and give them a luncheon and
the county judge and commissioners
court will also be asked to meet with
them, and also the following commit-
teemen: J. FI. Andrew, Roy L. Walk-
er, J. R. Key, W. A. Isaacks.
The matter of taking some action
in regard to the Abney well and put-
ting it into a better condition was dis-
cussed. It was stated that Judge W.
B. Abney had for many years kept
the well in repair at his own expense
while the public had the free benefits
of its waters, and it was suggested
that a committee be appointed to in-
vestigate and see what the cost of
repairing and some necessary improve
ments would be, and a motion was
made and carried that the chair ap-
point the committee, and the follow-
ing were named: D. T. Briggs, J.
R. Holley, V. E. Curry, and as J. R.
Key had already made some investi-
gation concerning the matter, he will
be eonfered with.
The secretary read a proposition
from the Des Moines Baseball Club
to come to Lampasas for training.
They ask for $3,000 from the Cham-
ber of Commerce and propose to re-
imburse the organization from the’
proceeds from exhibit games which
will be played in cities near here—
San Antonio, Dallas, Waco and other
towns—and if anything over the $3,-
000 is cleared, they propose to break
50-50 with the Chamber of Commerce.
The matter was thoroughly discussed,
but as it was not known just what
kind of accommodations they would
expect, it was decided that the secre-
tary write them and ascertain what
they would expect, and offer Ander-
son Park and the accommodations out
there to them, and it was thought by
some that this would be what they
would want. The club will be here
in training thirty days, and there will
be thirty men. It was stated that
there is not sufficient hotel accommo-
dation in Lampasas for this number of
men, but if they could arrange to; use
the accommodations at the park, such
as the mess hall, dining room and oth-
er buildings, there would be no trou-
ble in raising the $3,000 on the basis
they propose.
Those present were: Gordon Mack-
ey, Mr. Kimbler, Roy L. Walker, D.
T. Briggs, Robt. Flolley, W. A. Isaacks,
R. S. Carney, J. F. Peeler, Herbert

BILLY GOAT ODOR TO AID
CURE OF LUNG TROUBLES
Mr. and Mrs. M. Y. Stokes went
to Temple Tuesday night wirere Mrs.
Stokes took the Texas special train
for New York City and will probably
spend the winter with her children, Mr.
and Mrs. Thos. M. Stokes and William
Stokes.
Paris, Nov. 6.—The peculiar and
particularly penetrating odor of the
he-goat, has an important therapeutic
value, according to Dr. Georges Lou-
vel, in the Medical Review. Dr.
Louvel states that this is particularly
true in the treatment of tuberculosis
and diseases of the lungs and bron-
chial tubes.
“The legendary \goat, supposedly
charged with the sins of Israel,” says
Dr. Louvel, “is nothing more nor less
than an agent for disinfection created
by the Almighty.
“Put the goat in a stable where
cows and other animals are dying, and
the epidemic soon disappears, and the
sick animals recover. I hope to found
a sanatorium where the punatic smells
of the goat will be the sole agent
used as a cure for lung diseases.”
Dr. Louvel points out that the goat
is the only animal absolutely immune
from tuberculosis and says that the
immunity of the children of Israel
from lung trouble, resulted from the
fact that they slept with the goats in
their tents. The article asserts that
CALOMEL RELIEVES
THE BACKACHE
Teats •with Pep9inated Calomel, the
new English Calomel treatment, have
shown that it is one of the most power-
ful stimulants to the kidneys which we
possess. While not intended primarily
for the treatment of kidney diseases,
yet it exerts a powerful influence upon
these organs and promptly relieves
backache due to the kidneys, by stimu-
lating both the liver and kidneys, thus
aiding them in removing the waste
matter that is causing trouble. If your
back aches most of the time, or if you
are troubled with constipation or bili-
ousness, try Pepsinated Calomel on the
positive guarantee that you will be re-
lieved or your money returned.
Mackey & Ransom and all reliable
druggists recommend and guarantee
Pepsinated Calomel to bring relief be-
tween sundown and sunup or your
money refunded. Try it—we guarantee
you’ll feel better tomorrow, (Adv.),
