TWO-MINUTE TITLE TALKS.
YOUR OWN CASE.
Ysur are interested, we will say, in
several tiacts of land —a home place,
a farm, and a town lot.
Upon what do you rely for security
In ownership of this property?
On one of two things; a warranty
deed or the statute of limitations.
The first security may vanish with
♦he vears and leave you all too soon
susnended as it were in mid air.
The second security is a last resort
Throwing up your hands in the hope
that the enemy’s powder is wet.
Getting an abstract is the first step
toward over-hauling your title if it is
wrong; and if it is all right the ab
stract is your proof.
Demand an abstract before you buy,
the ow-ner pays for it.

of interest since the election of March

Wards 2 and 4 cast the heaviest
vote of the day ward, 2 having 268
and ward 4 252. A strong Mexican
vote is said by election officers to be
responsible for* this. The eighth ward
brought up the rear with a total ot

his act was not in accordance with

National Crusade Against Dandruff
Germ, Now Being Waged in
America.
‘‘The dandruff germ Is the greatest
American pest of today,’’ declares one
of the world’s greatest scientists and
students of diseases of the hair.
In a recent interview he said: “If
the germs of the dandruff are not soon
annihilated, the United States will
seme dav be known as the hairless
nation. The Americans must wage a
relentless war of extermination at
once, and I am going to help them.”
“My recipe for killing dandruff
germs, well known as Parisian Sage,
is now manufactured in the United
States.”
There is only one way to cure dan
druff and that is to kill the dandruff
germs.
There is only one preparation that
will kill the germs, and that is Pa
risian Sage.
Parisian Sage is now manufactured
in Buffalo. N. Y., by the Giroux Mfg.
Co., and agencies have been estab
lished in every town in America.
You take no risk in buying a bottle
of Parisian Sage. The Bexar Drug
Co. Is the agent in this city, and they
will guarantee Parisian Sage to cure
dandruff, stop falling hair, remove all
diseases of the scalp, or money back.
Parisian Sage is the most marvelous
hair dressing and tonic; it makes the
hair beautiful, soft and luxurious in
one week. It causes hair to grow if
the hair root be not altogether dead.
The -price is only 50 cents a bottle at
the Bexar Drug Co., or direct by ex
press. charges prepaid, from Giroux
Mfg. Co.. Buffalo. N. Y.

Couft Holds That Failure So
to Do Invalidates
Contract.
Failure to notify an insurance com
pany of an effort to burn down its
place of business was held in an opin
ion by Judge H. H. Neill, delivered
today in the fourth court of civil ap
peals, to be a violation of a clause
in the contract whereby the insured
party agreed to notify th e company
or its agent of any increased hazard.
The case in point was that of ths
Scottish Union & National Insurance
company vs. the Weeks Drug com
pany, from Nacogdoches. The lower
court gave plaintiff judgment for the
amount of its policy. For the reasons
stated the cas e was today reversed
and rendered.
Opinions handed down today aj*e:
W. H. Vickers, et al., vs. Mrs. A.
J. Peddy, Sabine county, affirmed; T.
J. Womble, et al., vs. W. F. Harsey,
et al., Hardin county, reversed and re
manded; St. L., San Francisco & Tex.
Ry. Co., vs. J. M. Adams, Hardeman
county, affirmed; A. C. Allen vs. Her
rick Hardware Co., Harris county, re

Best Treatment For Cold*.
‘‘Most ordinary colds will yield to
the simplest treatment,” says the Chi
cago Tribune,” moderative laxatives,
hot foot baths, a frpe perspiration
and an avoidance of exposure to cold
and wet after treatment.” While this
treatment is simple, it requires con
sidertJble trouble, and the one adopt
ing it must remain in doors for a day
or two, or a fresh cold is almost sure
to be contracted, and in many in
stances pneumonia follows. Is it aot
better to pin your faith to an old re
liable preparation like Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy, that is famous for <ts
cures of colds and can always be de
pended upon? For sale by all drug
gists.

GIRL ALL BUT
A negro girl 5 years old escaped
cremation at 9:30 o’clock this morn

of her mother, Josie Williams, 1023

The child was unaware of her dan
gerous position until the flames burst
into the room in which she was. Her
mother was not at home.
The structure, together with all Its
contents, had been practically reduced
to an ash heap, before the department
reached the scene. The house was
owned by Lupe Cuella and was valued
at about $lOO. The contents of the
building were valued at $75.

The proposed new street car ’lne

Tuttle, of the traction company, be

A belt will probably be formed, I
whereby the line will pass San Fer- ।

Manager Tuttle called upon Mayor
Callaghan this forenoon, when »he
plans were discussed. As yet nothing i
definite has been decided as to the ।
route.
A new feature in connection with
the contemplated extension of *he i
street car system is the laying of a I
line to the new Mission cemetery, ’
which is to be opened in the south
