NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
Any erroneous reflection upon the charucter, reputation
or standing of any firm, individual or corporation, will I Sprague: “Many of those defects are attributable
be gladly corrected upon being called to (he attention of (,0 insanitary surroundings in the little red school-
Nearly everyone believes that ehildren of the
country are stronger and healthier than those <i£
the city. No belief is more widely reverenced
than that.
But the Government says it is not so. The
United States public health service denies it. Dr.
| Ezra Kimball Sprague, who has been with that
service twenty years, writes as follows:
“Country children are physically inferior to
those reared in the cities. Investigation shows
that children in rural districts suffer decidedly
more frequently from malnutrition, diseases of
the lungs, heart, eyes, ears and adenoids, than do
city children.”
What is the cause of it? Listen again to Dr.
the publishers.
The fellow who would admit that he is whipped
can’t expect any underdog sympathy.
That man Villa is the most accommodating
cuss on earth. Just when the daily press is short
on material for scare heads, he bobs up serenely
and supplies the needful for more thrillers.
When a fellow sits around, does nothing, and
criticises everything and everybody, he makes of
himself the greatest object of all criticism. Speak
the good word instead.
The preliminaries of the child labor bill are
over. That is, it has been passed by Congress and
in a few years the Supreme Court will decide
whether to let us have it or not.
There comes a time in the life of most men
when they see their own imperfections more viv
idly than others see them, It is then that they are
on the way to becoming better men of nobler
deeds.
house.”
Another superstition gone. The majority of
us believed that the little red schoolhouse turned
out our sturdiest young manhood ami womanhood,
and that, without the stream of rich blood that
poured steadily into the cities from the country,
the city population would soon die out. Dr.
Sprague points out that the little red schoolhouse.
with its poor heating, draughts, bad ventilation,
wrong seating arrangements, bad lighting and
other defects, is responsible for many ruined lives.
Inasmuch as the children in the rural districts
soon will be in school again, the report of Dr.
Sprague is timely. The country schools should at
least be made sanitary before the children are
shut up in them for another winter.—Kansas City
Star.

DuIIhh, Texu*, August 29.—That the
majority of Senator Culberson over
former Governor O. B. Colquitt now is
li7,592, was the announcement mude
by the Texus Election Bureau yester-
day.
The figures entering into the calcu-
lation include complete returns from
103 counties und incomplete returns
from 110 other counties. The actual
totals at this time are:
Culberson, 156,047.
Colquitt, 88,455.
It was estimated that 260,000 votes
were east and this report accounts for
244,502 votes. The hureuu expresses
the belief thut Culberson's majority,
upon complete returns, will, perhaps,
be in excess of 75,000.
Change in Itastrop County.
Bastrop county showed a change
yesterday. Previously this county had
been in the Colquitt column, incom-
plete figures having given the former
Governor a mujority of 607 votes. But
correction makes the figures now
stand: Culberson, 1,092, and Colquitt,
372. The report is for twelve out of
eighteen boxes.
The counties which have not yet re-
ported to the bureau are: Dickens,
Gray, Hutchinson, King, Lynn, Shelby,
Starr, Sutton and Willacy. In the
July primary these counties cast a to-
tal of 5,154 votes, Shelby county alone
having 2,089. While reports have been
received from Shelby county, they do
not give the definite figures, hut are
to the effect that Culberson’s majority
there is about 700.
Sweeping Victory.
With the receipt of additional re
ports the sweeping character of Sen-
ator Culberson’s victory becomes more
und more apparent. Colquitt curried
only these counties: Archer, Austin,
Blanco, Calluhan, Colorado, Comal,
DeWitt, Duval, Fayette, Gillespie,
Guadalupe, Jim Wells, Kendal, I.avacu,
Lee, Menard, Presidio, Somervell, Vic-
toria, Washington and Wilson. As the
results in muny of these were close it
was indicated that u considerable vote
in what have been termed “the Ger
man counties” was cast for Culberson.
In Northeast Texas Colquitt did not
carry a single county, although he
previously had shown considerable
strength in that section. In the pri-
mary of July 22 he had a plurality in
114 counties. In that of August 26,
he had a majority in only twenty-one
counties, and that relatively was small.
Final Count Saturday.
So far had the tabulation of this
vote progressed thut the Texas Elec-
tion Bureau announced no further ef-
forts to make public the figures would
be made until Saturday, when the fin-
ished figures showing the final count
would he given out for publication
Sunday morning in the newspa|iers
belonging to the bureau.
Nineteen organised counties did not
hold primaries, namely, Castro, Chum
hers, Edwards, Hansford, Hartley, Jet?
Davis, Jim Hogg, Iamb, Lipscomb,
Live Oak, Moore, Ochiltree, Keagnn,
Real, Refugio, Terry, Upton, Winkler,
and Zapata. The unorganized coun-
ties Bailey, Cochran, Crane, llocklev
and Ixiving—us usual, held no prima-
ries.

«s the uncertain source of hit* augmented pros-
it v. The price of spot cotton in Texas Saturday
s higher than it was in New York.
Let us see what this man Colquitt proposed
to tlo to help the farmers of Texas. For one
thing he proposed to invest the public school
funds in a political hank. Another thing he
proposed to do was to have a law enacted to
limit the acres to be planted in cotton in DM5
to twenty acres for any farmer and his fam-
ily. These were the principal measures which
Colquitt proposed for the relief of the farmers
of Texas, As some one has said Colquitt can
make as much noise about his luxe for the
farmer as a coyote in the brush with about
the same results.—Wichita Falls Times.
