8 i WIT ECZEM A Brushed Scales from Face Like Pow- derUnder Physicians Six Months But Grew Worse Some Said Face Would Be Marked for Life Now Without a Blemish. CUTICURA REMEDIES WORK WONDERS. "As I was a sufferer with eczema I write to tell you what a great friend I found in duticura Remedies. In six months I had tried three doctors, but did not get any better. It was on my body and on my feet so thick that I could hardly put a pin on me with out touching ec zema. My faoe was covered, my eyebrows came out, and then it got in my eye. I then went to another doctor. He asked me what I was taking for it, and I told him Cuticura. He said that was a very good thing, but that he thought that my face would be marked for life. But Cuticura did its work and my face is now just as clear as it ever was. "My brother-in-law told me about the wonderful Cuticura remedies. I took his advice and got the Ointment, Soap, and Resolvent. I washed with the Cuticura Soap and then applied the Ointment, and took Cuticura Resolvent as directed. In a short time my face began to get better, and when I had taken one bottle of Resolvent I could brush th9 scales off my face like a powder. When I had taken four bottles my face was as clear as ever. I told all my friends about my remarkable cure. I feel so thankful I -want everybody fax and -wide to know what Cuticura can do. It is a sure cure for eczema, (signed) Mrs. Emma White, 641 Cherrier Place, Camden, N. J., April 25,1905."

Sattinday Evening, THEBE'S OM I N0BTHB1 TEXAS Many Fields of Profitable Enter prise Are Open in Dallas and Its Vicinity to Men of Moderate Capital. MANUFACTURING PLANTS OF VARIOUS KINDS ARE NEEDED Country Is Rich and Prosperous and Conditions Are Such as to Win Success for Those Who Will Work. BY HERBERT VANDERHOOF. The careful observer who travels in that part of northern Texas of which Dallas 1B the commercial center is strongly im pressed with the inviting opportunities for industrial development. Wonderful as has been the advancement in this sec tion of the Lone Star state in recent years, candor compels trie statement that .progress In the industrial line, especially as regards business enterprises, has not kept pace with the natural demands. Admittedly the garden spot of the great Southwest, with unrivaled resources in the way of inexhaustible products, and advancing in population and prosperity with gigantic strides, this part of Texas ,has outgrown its present conveniences for the handling of its own trade. Every body is making money, and making it so fast that there is little time or inclination for the extension of facilities which are urgently required. Success of One Family. Immediately surrounding Dallas is a chain of counties, the natural richness of which has made this city one of the most prosperous of its size in the world. Dallas today Is credited with a population of from 80,000 to 82,000, and is growing with a rapidity that is truly astonishing. There Is no boom simply a healthy growth, due to the influx of conservative investment seekers who liave founa the field one that yields generous returns. As an illustration of what may be done here I might mention the success of the Hervey family in the hotel line. The Herveysthere are a number of them operate hotels at various points in the South and Southwest. Here they have the Oriental, which, under the direct man agement of Frank Juhan, a nephew, has attained wide reputation for its luxurious accommodations and superior cuisine. It is the gathering place of notables from all parts of the world, and its register bears the signature of many famous peo ple. President Roosevelt made it a sort of temporary White House when in the Southwest, and it is within its walls that the leading politicians and dignitaries of Texas meet to arrange affairs of state The Oriental is referred to merely to show what may be accomplished by those who intelligently seek to supply a natural demand. Profitable Fields for Investment. Dallas, and, in fact, all that part of Texas tributary to it, presents alluring inducements In the line of investment, and particularly business investments. There are good openings for mills and factories and plants of all Kinds. This part of the state needs more cotton mills, as It has been fully demonstrated that the profits are larger and surer when the raw material is manufactured into yarn and. cloth as close to the source of pro duction as possi^e. A paving brick plant would be a fine investment so would a furniture factory, machine shops, a shoe factory, paper mill, fruit and vege table canneries, and a factory for the manufacture of tents and tent cloth, awnings, grain hags, etc. Besides these enterprises profitable investment may be found in packing-houses for the rtlliza tion of the cattle and hog supply for which Texas is justly famous. A pickle factory, a plant for making fruit boxes and crates, and another for turning out ax handles and similar products would pay well. In short, northern Texas pre sents almost illimitable opportunities in this direction. There aie two orime essentials to success. One is sufficient capital to properly conduct such business as may be undertaken. The other, and by far the most Important, Is honesty and square dealing Texas is no place for dishonest tactics in business or anything else. To men who will conduct their en terprises on a legitimate basis, and with due regard for the needs of the com munities they seek to supply, the op portunities now offered here are un equaled Cheap Sites and Transportation. Sites for factories, admirably located, may be bought cheap, and the local busi ness men will be glad to assist inauirera and. new comers In avoiding any costly mistakes. The railway facilities for the transportation of freight are already good and are being enlarged monthly by the building of new lines and the extension of those already in operation. Eight of the principal railways the Southwest now center here, branching out in fif teen directions, so that all parts of the state are within a reasonable radius of distribution. In addition to this the fed eral government Is converting Trinity river into a navigable stream, thus as suring cheap traffic to tidewater at Gal veston, from which port every Important city in the world may be reached. In discussing the varied advantages offered for industrial investments in this part of the state a prosperous business man said: "If the conditions were rightlv under stood, we woujd be swamped with bright progressive men seeking employment for their energies and capital. As it is, this section of the country is advancing at a phenomenal rate, and yet virtually noth ing has been done to attract public at tention. I came here five years ago with less than $5,000 and now have a bis stock clear of debt, a good home paid for, and a comfortable balance in bank, which is growing right along. I have found the people generous and hospitable, and strictly honest in their dealings. The climate is fine, and living here is much easier and more enjoyable than in the East. I made one serious mistakeI should have come here in 1891 instead of 1901. The opportunities for business in vestment are just as good now, and the conveniences of life much better than they were fifteen years ago, but I often think with regret of the money I might have made by being here ten years sooner "A good many people up North have the idea that the Southern man lacks push and energy that he is indolent by na ture and believes in sauntering through life with the least possible trouble. Such an idea is based upon the grossest ignor ance. I cannot speak, of course, for the whole South, because I am a Nor therner and this is the only part of the South I have lived in, but I'll tell you that the men of Texas have as much push and vim to the square inch, and are as capable business men as any Con necticut Yankee I ever trade with." Supplies of Raw Material. Naturally, a conservative business man before deciding- upon embarking in any of the various enterprises which now offer attractive inducements here will want to assure himself as to a per manent and sufficient supply of raw material. Abundant evidence on this point may be had from any of the recent statistical works on Texas, but even these fail to do the subject justice, as years are taken in their preparation, and by the time the facts are published the pro duction has increased many fold. Of cot ton, fruits and vegetables, and of cattle and hogs, there is an inexhaustible sup ply. There are abundant forests of hick ory, black walnut, oak and other woods for manufacturing purposes, great beds of clay for brickmaking. and limestone for concrete. Recently a large deposit of coal has been discovered in Dallas county, and arrangements are being made to mine It on an extensive scale. fi.i Joseph F. Moore Henry L. Moore INCOME IN 1905.
