BITRO-PHOSPHATE
IS GOOD FOR THIN
NERVOUS PEOPLE
A PHYSICIAN’S ADVICE.
Frederick S. Kolle, M. D., editor of
New York Physicians, “Who’s Who,’’
says that weak, nervous people who
want increased weight, strength and
nerve-force, should take a 5-grain
tablet of Bitro-Phosphate just before
or during each meal.
This particular phosphate is the
discovery of a famous French scien
tist, and reports of remarkable re
sults from its use have recently ap
peared in many medical journals.
If you do not feel well; if you tire
easily; do not sleep well, or are too
tKin; go to any good druggist and
get enough Bitro-Phosphate for a two
weeks’ supply—it costs only fifty
cents a week.
Eat less; chew your food thor
oughly, and if at the end of a few
weeks you do not feel stronger and
better than you have for months; if
your nerves are not steadier; if you
do not sleep better and have more
vim, endurance and vitality, your
money will be returned, and the Bi
tro-Phosphate will cost you nothing.

AMERICUS TIMES RECORDER.
CATTLE BRANDS
CAUSE OF MANY
BATILESJN WEST
Austin, Tex. —Romance, not unmixed
with tragedy, might be written about
the cattle brands of Texas and the
Southwest. Around them have cen
tered many thrilling deeds. They
have been the means of bringing swift
, retribution to a host of outlaws; they
have served as the basis for transac
tions involving the sale of many mil
lions of head of cattle.
The records of the Texas Cattle
| Raisers’ association show that there
are more than 8,000 registered brands
In this state. No two brands are alike.
Usually each brand represents a sep
arate ranch. It Is often the case that
a ranch is much better known by the
brand of its cattle than by the name
;of the owner. Owners may change,
but the brand never.
When Hernando Cortez conquered
! Mexico in the early part of the six
teenth century he established a ranch
upon the isthmus of Tehauntepec. The
cattle bore his brand. Although that
was nearly 400 years ago the cattle
upon that ranch today bear the orig
inal Cortez brand.
Origin Lost in History.
The origin of the cattle brand dates
back to the dim dawn of history. In
the days of free grass and open range
the brand was an absolute necessity in
order that the owners might identify
their cattle in the annual round-ups.
With the coming of wire fences this
necessity was largely obviated, but the
brand served still to place guilt upon
cattle thieves. This purpose is still
served and this fact accounts largely
for the retention of the brands by all
of the ranchmen.
Ingenious methods are sometimes
used by cattle thieves to change exist
ing brands upon stolen stocks. Most
of the members of the Texas Banger
force are experts in the matter of de
tecting the disguising or changing-'of
brands.
The cattle brands of some ranches
are an intangible asset of great value.
These brands have come to stand for
honesty in breeding, honesty in weight
and honesty in dealing, just as the
heraldry of knighthood stood for hon
or, for bravery and for noble deeds
and accomplishment. Announcement
that cattle of a certain brand are of
fered for sale is often sufficient guar
antee that no precautions against
fraud of any kind are taken.
Every Letter Is Used.
In the record of brands, every letter
of the alphabet is represented, and
most letters are found in three or
four positions. An exception is “O,”
which has but one, shape, in any posi
tion, and therefore can be used only
once. True, there is the “O” flattened
at the sides, but it is then called a
mashed “O,” a link or goose egg.
“N” is another letter that is not sus
ceptible of many 7 positions, for hori
zontally it is “Z.” “I” is another letter
with a limited use. It is seldom seen
except in combination with other
. characters, and is usually called a bar.
“C” and "K” are examples of letters
that are used in four positions. For
example, an ordinary “K” makes one
position. Turn it to an angle of 45
degrees and you have the “tumbling
K”; on its back, horizontally, the "lazy
K," and reversed, a fourth position.
There are lazy and tumbling brands
in all letters except “O” and “I.”
But when the cattle business be
comes general and instead of 100
ranches there are thousands, new
brands must be devised. The seeker
for a brand naturally gets an insignia
different from that of other ranchmen
else the brand would fail of its pur
pose. So in the latter days the letters
were finally all taken up and the neces
sity for individual and unique brands
has led to many a strange device.
Many Novel Designs.
For example, there is the “Spur"
ranch, the “Turk Track” ranch, the
“Tumbling K” «f the “Lazy X." Every
ranch has its principal brand, ami
some have many others. Ranch own
ers, who trade extensively, and are
constantly acquiring cattle with differ
"ent brands, have a number of insignias
on record. Often the ranchmen's sons
and daughters have their special
brands and the dedication of a new
brand is not an unusual form of cele
brating a birth on file range.
Among the peculiar brands is a pig
pen, which means a square with its
aides extending to form the exterior
angles. Crescents are common. Only
one ranchman has a hatchet for a
brand.
A bow and arrow gives a name to
one big Texas ranch. L. J. Kimber-
Un’s ranch had a crutch on the hip
, and a coffee pot on the side. The
eofi'ee not design is not so intricate as
one might imagine, consisting of only
eight lines.
Wine glasses are not uncommon as
a brand and the J. W. Friend Cattle |
company in Crotchett county had a
gourd. A rocking chair is the brand
of the 11. B. Opp ranch in Sutton and
Menard counties.
Lee Brothers had for their brand the
graceful fleur de Ils. Anchors are
common, but only the John W. Franks
ranch in the Osage reservation boasts
of the Swastika.
A hash knife, a hat, the Masonic
square, a key, a turkey track, a bell,
crossed walking sticks, an hour glass,
a tree, a boot, a slipper, a flag, an
apple, a flower, ladders, rakes, spades.

a fence, a doll baby, a cotton boo.;, a ,
fishhook, a bottle, bridle bits, a trying ;
pan. a pitchfork and even a comet may
be seen among tha long list of brands.
A "scuple" indicates that the ranch j
owner was a druggist before becoming I
a cattleman. Hearts, d amends and |
clubs are found among tiie records of i
brands, but the spades are those of j
agricultural designs.
The tendency is toward smaller 1
brands. Branding causes cattle to j
lose in weight, and the larger the brand I
the greater the suffering of the cattle '
and the greater the loss of weight, so ,
the old-time custom of great brands,
covering ti e whole side of a cow, is
passing away. Hides are more valu
able today, also, and the big brands
injure the leather.
The easiest brands to read are those
made with the stamp iron, that is. an
iron forged into the figure or charac
ter desired. Sometimes the cowboys
encounter a maverick far from head
quarters. and in the exigency of the
occasion tin iron rod Is heated and a
