SERIOUS SICKNESS
ly Being Constantly Supplied With
Thedford’s Black-Draught.
McDuff, Va.—"I suffered for several
fears,” says Mrs. J. B. Whittaker, of
his place, “with sick headache, and
stomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to try
Hiedford’s Black-Draught, which 1 did,
ind I found it to be the best family medi
rine for young and old,
I keep Black-Draught on hand all the
ime now, and when my children feel a
ittle bad, they ask me for a dose, and it
does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried.
We never have a long spell of sick-
tess in our family, since we commenced
ising Black-Draught.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely
regetable, and has been found to regu-
ate weak stomachs, aid digestion, re-
ieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea,
leadache, sick stomach, and similar
symptoms.
It has been in constant use for more
fian 70 years, and has benefited more
han a million people.

A Habit Deserving Encouragement.
It required many years of agi-
tation and effort to establish pos-
tal savings banks in this coun-
try. The law was finally put in-
to effect and many prophecies of
its success and failure were heard.
It required but a few years to
show the advantage of such a
savings institution as a teacher
of thrift among the people and
thousands started savings ac-
counts and began to put by small
sums of money which they had
heretofore carelessly spent, most
of them because they thought
the amount they oould deposit
too small to start a bank account.
The Atlanta Constitution in an
editorial on the “Uplift of Thrift”
makes reference to the campaign
of thrift started by the American
Bankers Association and the
great work it has accomplished
along this line. Perhaps one has
proven an aid to the other.
While figures are not available
for comparison, it is more than
probable that a larger sum of
money is deposited in the banks
of the country in small amounts
than in the postal savings banks
in accounts of like size.
It was the banks that started
the plan of Christmas savings
acoounts and only a short time
ago the New Orleans Picayune
stated that last Christmas, in
that city, over $300,000 was
checked out of the banks for hol-
iday money, all of which was
probably saved by persons who
never before had undertaken a
savings account in a bank.
Uncle Sam is no great adver-
tiser. He has not purchased
space in the newspapers to set
forth the advantage of patroniz-
ing his postal savings banks.
Such advertising as these banks
have received has come in an in-
direct way, such as the news col-
umns of the papers supply. On
the other hand, the bankers have
been good advertisers. They
have suggested Christmas clubs,
started rivalry among the chil-
dren to see who could save the
most in a given time. They have
appealed to the old as well as the
young to try and save.
That there is more thrift among
the American people now than
ever before is evident. A school
boy or girl who does not have a
savings account at a bank is be-
ginning to be looked upon by
their companions as out of line
with the general custom.
Saving is a habit and the
hardest thing about it is the
learning. Once learned, no mat-
ter in how small a way, it is hard
to break away from and there is
a disposition on the part of the
person to increase the savings
account and a growing reluc-
tance to break in on it and it
must be dire necessity which will
cause a person to draw against
the sum safely in the bank, but
when the necessity does arise, as
in the case of illness, death,
something which may not be
guarded against, the money is
there for use when if the savings
account had not been started the
person might find himself, or her-
self, in straightened circum-
stances with no resources at
hand.
Thousands of laboring people,
drawing a weekly or monthly
wage, have become among the
most regular depositors in the
banks. Every pay day sees the
weekly check or pay envelope
finding its way to the bank. The
family needs are paid for by
cheek and every cent possible is
left to remain on deposit and in-
crease the savings fund.
The postal savings banks and
the general banks, with their
savings departments, have done
and are doing much to make the
American people more thrifty
than at any period of the coun-
try’s history.
Parents should begin early in j state,
teaching their children thrift.
Start a bank account for them
and teach them to save. En-
courage them to earn money and
add it to their savings,—Austin
American.

Proposed Railroad Discused.
Marble Falls, Tex., April 1.—
It is the opinion of business men
of the Marble Falls section of
Burnet county that if San An-
tonio is seeking a direct railway
outlet to the mineral district
around^Llano and to the region
further north, the most feasible
thing to do is the construction of
a line from the South Texas me-
tropolis to this place. The air-
line distance between San An-
tonio and Marble Fails is about
eighty-three miles, making a
possible total mileage of 103 be-
tween San Antonio and Llano by
such a route as proposed. It is
admitted however, that the coun-
try between Marble Falls and
San Antonio is very rough and
that it is probable that necessa-
ry divergence would increase the
rail distance to ninety or more
miles between the two places,
but as an offset to this lengthen-
ing of the route, it could be car-
ried by Johnson City and Blanco,
it is pointed out.
It is claimed that by tapping
the Houston & Texas Central at
Marble Falls a railroad leading
to San Antonio would obtain all
the heavy granite hauls for South
Texas, not only from the terri-
tory immediately around Llano,
but of the quarries that are lo-
cated near here. Aq enormous
tonnage of red granite from the
Granite Mountain quarries has
been used in the construction of
jetties at Aransas Pass and a
new contract for one thousand
cars of the material for tide jetty
work was recently entered into.
The route of the branch line of
the Houston & Texas Central that
runs from Burnet to Lampasas
is almost due north and south,
and by building a road north
from San Antonio to Marble
Falis a direct connection with the
new trans-continental division of
the Santa Fe would be obtained
at Lampasas. The distance from
Marble Falls to Lampasas is
thirty-eight miles, which, added
to say ninety miles to San An-
tonio from here, would make the
total distance between San An-
tonio and Lampasas about 128
miles.
If a line was then built from j
Lampasas to Morgan, a distance
of about seventy-five miles, a
new and short route between San
Antonio and all that part of
South Texas and Fort Worth and
Dallas would be obtained. It is
said that the construction of
these two links, one to run be-
tween San Antonio and Marble
Falls and the other between
Lampasas and Morgan, would
place San Antonio within 260
miles of Fort Worth, or some-
thing like eighteen miles closer
than via the exisiting shortest
rail route.
In order that San Antonio
might obtain full benefits of a
closer connection with the rich
territory that lies to the north
and west of that city should the
project of constructing a line to
Marble Falls ever be carried out,
a railway should be built north-
west from Llano to Brady, it is
suggested by local business men.
By giving this region an outlet in
that direction an enormous scope
of territory would be opened to
the trade of Sail Antonio. The

Senator Will be Nominated in July.
Hillsboro, Texas, April 7.—The
Texas democratic executive com-
mittee here late today adopted a
resolution providing for the nom-
ination of United States senato-
rial candidates at the general
primaries in July. The vote was
25 to 3.
The resolution provides that if
no candidate should receive a
majority vote at the July prima-
peals. He was thirsty for inf or- j ry, a second primary shall be
held on the second Saturday in
August, the candidate to be de-
termined upon at the second pri-
mary to be selected from the two-
