Germans Rebuild I
Wrecked Fortresses
* (By Associated Press.)
Amsterdam, Nov. 30.—No better
‘illustration can be given of the far-
sightedness »and thoroughness of the
German ^military machine than the
elaborate re-building operations in
course of completion at Liege. In
the comparatively^ short time since
its forts were wrecked by the invad-
er's “artilery, Liege has been rebuilt
Into a model German fortress, and is
• to be used,a? an object lesson for
students in the German military
schools. It is built as though the
Germans expect to stay.
All the Belgian forts have been re-
paired, with a single exception;
much o^the old artillery has been re-
placed with Krupp fortress cannon
of the latest type, and even the land-
scape has been remodeled with a
view to defense. All the newest
trenches is done with a “military
traction trench digger,’’ which cuts a
furrow about three feet wide and
three feet deep.
Most of the old Belgian forts have
been entirely remodeled; some have
have been raised, some lowered, with
a view to greater efficiency of shell
fire or to increasing the sweep of
country which their guns can com-
mand. There are several false bat-
teries, cleverly constructed to attract
aeroplane or cavalry attack.
The town is dull and quiet. All
shops and cafes are required to close
at 8 o’clock in the evening. Newspa-
pers are at a heavy premium.

There is an intricate system pf
connecting wqj£s between the vari-
ous main points of the outlying de-
fenses. Great attention has been
paid to the use of villages and for-
ests .for concealing fortifications.
The trenches are flat with the ground
so as to be visible only from above,
and are protected with concealed
barbwire entaglements. The trench-
es are drained and partially covered
for protection against rain and snow,
while the width is ample enough to
allow carriage of stores and ammuni-
tion without interfering with the
troops.

. The difference iu buying one of ‘the
most efficient, latest and up-to-date
cough and cold remedies (which can be
made ?X home), aud buying the old,
ordinary, ready-made kinds, is that with
the new one you get all pure medicine,
instead of buying a large proportion of
sugar and water, besides paying for bot-
tles, corks and labels; and it usually re-
quires 2 to 3 bottles of the old-fashioned,
ready-made remedies to break up a
cough or cold, while 2 ounces (50c worth)
of dchiffmann’s new Concentrated Ex-
pectorant, which is so strongly concen-
trated that 2 ounces, when mixed athomc
with simply one pint of granulated sugar
and one-half pint of water, make a fuli
pint (16 ounces) of excellent cough rem-
edy, and will be sufficient to probably
last the whole family the entire winter.

lie health. Sickness in Texas the
past year has cost its citizens the
vast sum of $15,000,000 according to
experts, and the average cost of an^ Very often she don’t,
illness has been $95. This is the
economic side of the question; and
leaves out all the suffering, the dis-
tress, the inconvenience, loss .of
time, etc. And much of it is a need-
less and senseless drain. The time
will come when it will be considered
a community crime for typhoid fever
or diphtheria, or scarlet fever, or
smallpox, and a number of other dis-
eases to exist, because it will be con-
sidered gross carelessness or indif-
ference, which it really is. And be-
cause it is a needless and senseless
drain upon the community indiffer-
ence should cease, and, never be tol-
erated at any time anywhere.
Therefore sanitary laws should he
rigidly enforced, and the lawrs of
health should be rigidly Observed and
enforced where they are not observ-
ed. There is no excuse for indiffer-
:
ence along these lines, and indiffer-
ence should never be tolerated.

turned up at the funeral. The rib-

*«WT'S wartime, kiddies, and every one’s heart is heavy. The most terrible-
I . war in history is taking place now over in Europe."-
I Daddy’s face was grave as he gathered Evelyn and Jack in his-
™ arms for the evening story.
.-^Perhaps you would like to hear something about the German emperor,
who is at the head of the German army.”
' “He is an awful fighter, isn’t be, daddy?” asked Jack.
“Yes, Jack, but then there are others,” 6aid daddy .
* “When I was in Berlin I visited the royal stable near the stately palace
on the river Spree. As you kiddies are fond of horses, you may like to hear
about the horses and carriages that I saw there.
“The stable held ‘at that time about 350 horses and 200 carriages, beside*
about twenty motorcars. It was three stories high, and I was shown over It
by a guide who was dressed in the imperial livery of black with shining silver
buttons and a tall hat with a cockade at one side.
"Most of the horses on the firsU*floor were black, though there were* a
number of gray and white ones.
“The name of the horse and the year of Its birth was placed above Its
stall. The blankets of blue cloth were bound with red and yellow, and tiny
crowns and the letter ‘MT were embroidered in the corners.
“A white necked, dappled gray bodied horse on the second floor attracted
my attention. It Was a very handsome horse, and the guide told me that fc
belonged to the kaiser’s only daughter, Princess Victoria Louise.
“Most of the horses on this floor were bay. Tbey were the emperor’s
hunting horses. Rows of carriages were upon the third floor. There were
some very beautiful ones—one in particular, tbe state carriage of 1740, all
glittering with gilt and crowns and eagles.
“In another part of the big room on this floor was a glass case filled with
red, gold plated, silver and black afld red and black harness. Beautiful red
and gold and blue and gold saddles from Turkey and Morocco attracted me
very much. ' •
“Jack, you would have liked the elegant driving whips, 1 think, while
Evelyn would have liked the big bunches of ostrich tips and long flowing
plumes which are used for trimming the carriages upon state occasions.
“You might wonder, kiddies, how the horses were taken to tbe second
floor. The stable was fitted up with immense elevators, and these were used
to convey horses, carriages and motors from floor to floor.
“Back of the stables was a big circular court inclpsed in glass, where mem-
bers of the royal court could ride In unpleasant weather. Good night, kiddies.”

have been made the bone of conten-

The lugging of the schools into polit-
ical scraps must he stopped if they
•would progress; and then the people
need to wake up to the necessity of
better schools. And then if we have
schools as good as the best we must
pay for them. In the course *of a
message to the twenty-second legis-
lature of Texas, January 21, 1891,
Governor James Stephen Hogg said;
