These Families Beat High Cost of Living; 48 Sleep in One Little Four-Room House DALLAS, Texas. —Antonio Gomez, Ferdinand Garcia, Jose Juarez and Jesus Uaredo, four Mexican laborers who are earning $3 pei‘ day, found their wages insufficient to care for themselves, their wives and their ten children. So they started a fight on the high cost of living which has amazed the housing inspector of the city. Instead of renting four houses at from ?30 to S4O per month each the Mexicans, who came from the same town in their native country, just rented a four-room cottage and mov ed their families in. Each family occupies one room in the cottage. There are twelve in each family and forty-eight persons in tha little house. The building inspectors de clare that ’this sets a record for “stacking them in.” Children Sleep in Baskets One of the amazing things was the manner in which the children were provided beds. The mind of the Mexican may not be as alert as that of some other folks, but these Mexi cans soon worked out a plan whereby every person would have plenty of sleeping room. For the kids, the smaller ones— 1 ' # / V A I fl I JMHHHhh I Il 11 I f THOMP4QH » I / I w 1 ///J/J\■ / —when “delicious and re- freshing” mean the most.

Most people would feel better, stronger and happier if they took a few of these Tablets. You can’t afford to be sick when it costs so little to get well. Men “with a wallop,” men with vim, vip, vigor, are those who take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, composed of herbal extracts, without alcohol, and found to be a wonderful tonic for the manufacture of red blood within body. For sale by druggists in tablet or liquid form. Augusta, Ga.—" Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is the best medicine I have ever taken for nervous indigestion and stomach trouble, an ailment I have been suffering with for about twenty years, during which time I doctored and took medicine but did not get relief. At times I would suffer dreadfully, my food would sour on my stomach, gas would form and I would be distressed and nervous. I was a com plete nervous wreck, so bad that I could hardly stand on my feet when a lady advised me to take the ‘ Golden Medical Discovery.’ I took three bottles and it has given me wonderful relief. I can eat anything I wish and not feel any bad effects. lam in better health now than _Ll ODg time.”—Mrs. Mattie Hilton, No. Ellis Street. and there were six to each family— large baskets were provided. These baskets are hung to the rafters of the house in the day time so as to be out of the way of the wives in their cooking and the kids in their playing. At night they are let down to the floor, the kids stacked in and then the baskets pulled up to the rafters and tied. The next morning the kids are low ered to the floor, eat their meals and go on about their work or play. The' larger children sleep on a pal let on the floor and the Mexicans and their wives occupy the single bed of the room. Women Grind the Corn The cooking is done on a small gas plate. The Mexican women, true to the habits acquired in ’the old country, have their corn grinding rocks, make their own tortillas, buy the cheapest refuse of thfe butcher shops and see that their families thrive on corn mixtures, “gristles” and soup. The inspector complained at the arrangements, but the Mexicans shrugged their shoulders and said they were comfortable. Their ar rangements may be altered, however, since the authorities seem to think fortyneight persons are too many to live in one foUr-room cottage. You can get along in life far better by building up your strength than by throwing it away through carelessness and neglect. Strength comes from the blood, and strong blood comes only when it is not neglected. The best and safest way to be strong and well is to take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery Tablets. These readily overcome anemia, or thin blood. They put a feeling of vim, vigor, strength and renewed am bition into those who take Q (LJ 0 New Questions 1. Q. What causes lightning? 2. Q.

The London “Morning Post” of January 20, 1911, stated that a fall of black snow had occurred re cently in the Lower Emmen Valley, in Switzerland. The jhost reason able explanation offered for this was that in certain conditions of weather snow may take an appearance of blackness which is quite deceptive. It appears that after the snowfall there was a slight thaw, and a very tine rainfall. Whilb it was still raining, a piercing cold and dry north or northeast wind set in ana froze the rain on the surface of the snow. Underneath the crust of pure ice thus formed there was a small air-filled space and the light when reflected from the snow beneath, produced to the eye a dark appear ance. ( 2. —Q.

At junction points he turns tickets and boys over to his succes sor and gets a receipt for them. Man Doomed to Death From Illness Offers SI,OOO for His Sleep Benjamin Hyde, of Chicago, Is now applying the same business system that made him reasonably rich to find out for himself an easy path to death. A few years back Mr. Hyde was a building contractor. He was among the first in his line to un derstand the value of advertising. Recently he displayed the latest form letter he just had Issued and mentioned what he regards as the last -■ advertising campaign of his life. His words came chatteringly, for the disease from which h,e has suf fered for six years causes his body to tremble with a constant palsy. He has paralysis agitans (Parkinson’s disease), and the best specialists in Chicago have told- him his case is hopeless. He can live at best, they say about six years more. “I can’t sleep. It jars me awake constantly. I need sleep—and I’m advertising for it.” The former building contractor is 60 years old. He has sent advertise ments broadcast announcing a re ward of SI,OOO to any person who can make it possible for him to ob tain sleep without the use of drugs. His advertisements already have brought to him half a thousand let i ters. These are sent by physicians. 1 faith healers, religious enthusiasts and others in whom the slowly dying man puts little credence. But to each of his correspondents he has mailed the latest of his form let ters. Every letter that comes mav be the one that holds the secret of—an easy path to death.

Miller, acting secre tary of the Republican national com mittee, arrived yesterday with the briefs filed in Washington in the 122 contests. The national committee will, begin consideration of them next Monday morning and four days, it is estimated, will finish all of them.

BLOOD DEVITALIZED NEEDS IRON TO ' REGENERATE IT If Your Blood Needs Iron, Revitalize It and Build Up Your System With Ziron, the Which Should Energize Your System to Vigorous, Red-Blooded, Activity. Strong, energetic people, well-provided with blood, overflowing with high spirits, and with zest and joy in life that is irresistible, are the peo ple who are well prepared against disease, whose blood is adequately supplied with iron. If you are below par, if you feel weary and worn and disheartened, lack interest in your work, or suffer from headaches, indigestion, lack of appetite, .your blood probably lacks Iron. Ziron, the new iron tonic, is peculiarly adapted to the treatment of such conditions. It will put iron into your blood, and by its mild, strengthening, tonic effect, will help to restore the entire system to health. Ziron contains no alcohol, is free from habit-forming drugs, is pleasant to take, and is recommended to young and old. Mr. J. Wesley Bell, of Manchester, Tenn., writes: “Some time back I was in poor health. My skin was flabby; I felt weak, worn out, didn’t feel like eating, and didn’t care whether it was meal time or not. I was over-worked, nervous and felt depressed. 1 knew I must do some thing for myself or I would have a spell of sickness. I decided to try Ziron, as 1 had heard of it as a splendid tonic. 1 sent for a bottle and began taking it. Right at first I didn’t feel so well, but when near ly a bottle was taken, I began to feel altogether different. I ate, slept and began to pick up. It helped me wonderfully. My strength came back. I took three bottles and consider it money well spent. It certainly is splendid.” • . / SPECIAL OFFE-R: Buy a bottle of ZIRON, today, at your druggist’s and give it a fair trial, according to directions on the bottle. If after using up one bottle, you find it has not benefited you, take it back to the druggist and he will refund what you paid him for it. We repay him, so there is no reason why he should not repay you. This offer only applies to the first trial bottle.—(Advt.)
