Frank Carpenter To Write
of South and Central America
THE EL PASO HERALD is glad to announce a series of letters on SOUTH
AMERICA to be written during 1914 by FRANK G. CARPENTER.
Mr. Carpenter started on his trip from New York some weeks ago, and
he is now on the South American continent where he will be traveling for
some months to come.
His first investigations will be on the Isthmus of Panama, where he
will describe the completed canal, or "How Our Great Bitch Looks as the
Ships Go Through.''
From Panama, Mr. Carpenter will make his way down the west coast
of the continent, going inland from poztto port, and climbing in many little
known places.
This tour will be more than one of mere travel and description. It will
consist of investigations along the line of the news, and regarding movements
and measures which affect the business and cost of living of every United
States citizen.
The opening of the Panama Canal has landed South America right at the
beginning of Uncle Sam's front door yard, and lent renewed interest to the
country, so much so that secretary Redfield, of the department of commerce,
has asked congress to give him. $100,000 to send expeditions to South America,
to look into these trade possibilities
THE HER A LP thinks, for instance, that there should be a reduction in
the price of the coffee we drink, as well as of other staple articles, which come
from our sister continent. The Agricultural department is sending experts
to South America to eajnine into these matters. The Herald Correspondent
has been instructed to report as to what they are doing and at the same time
to give the results of his own observations, without fear or favor.
Other matters that will be treated of will be the changes in South America,
likely to be made through the opening of the canal, the opportunities for in
vestments in the various localities, the chances for young Americans, etc.
Mr. Carpenter is well fitted for such an undertaking. For the past 25
years he has been "going to and fro in the earth and walking up and down
in it." The most of his observations have been published in The Herald
and some of them have afterwards gone into books and found their way into
the schools. Indeed, it has become a common saying, not only with the every
day reader, but with he experienced educator as well, that "READING
CARPENTER IS SEEING THE WORLD."

Throughout the West Indies the principal beast of burden Is a very active,
undersized donkey. Merchandise of all kinds Is usually transported in very
small lots suited to the size and the strength of this beast of burden. Tfie
loads are often so large, however, that the donkey Is almost hidden from view.
On top of even the largest of these loads is usually perched the driver, skill
fully balancing himself or herself against the rolling gait of the steed.

FLOOD SITUATION" IX
MATAGORDA EXAGGERATED
Austin, Tex, Dec. 19. The flood situ
ation in Matagorda county and con
tiguous territory has been greatly ex
aggerated, according to a message re
ceived by the governor from Col. W.
G. Sterrett, game, fish and oyster com
missioner who had been detailed to
make an investigation.

S FEEL LIKE LEAD
OR YOUR BACK HURTS, TAKE SALTS
We cat too much meat, vrhich clogs
Kldney.i, and they need a
flushing occasionally.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which clogs the kidney pores so
they sluggishb filter or strain only part
of the waste and poisons from the
blood, then you get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, constipation, dizziness,
sleeplessness, bladder disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidnejs or your back hurts, or if
the urine is c'oudv, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder dis
orders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which all regular
meat eaters should take now and then
to keey the kidnes clean and the blood
pure, therein avoiding serious kidnej
complications Advertisement.
