The Doctor Orders It.
When vou call a physician he makes a careful
examination of your case and out of his experience
determines just what remedies to use and what
quantities of the remedies are needed to effect a cure.
This he writes down, and this is a prescription; next
comes our part. Our prescription department is en-
tirely separate from the rest of the store. This feature
in many respects a notable one, and is not yet found
in one drug store in a hundred, although it should be
found in all. The compounding of prescriptions can
vV? be carried on under ideal conditions only when this
department is removed from noise and confusion and
: o other distractions. As we have it arranged here the
prescriptionist is able to concentrate his entire thought
alu' attention upon the work in hand. This is an in-
o surance against error and is valuable in many other
ways. This feature was introduced for your benefit
and we hope you will remember it when next you
have a prescription to till.

in WliHt Dentou (Jounlj'H Wheat Crop Ik
Kstluiatecl at an Avertitfe of Twenty
lluslieli to til.' Arre.
The wheat crop of Denton county is
immense. All eyes will be turned to-
wards us on account of the great ceieal
productiveness of the soil. The yield
per acre bids fair to be over twenty
bushels and the total yield of
the county to be considerably over two
million bushels.
This crop has already paid for the
labor expended in way of pasturage
and the grain will be a clear profit
hence the county will be greatly en-
riched and times will be much easier
than they have been during the past
two years.
Pi of. Conn ell stated to the fanners
at the institute held here some time
back that this county ought to furnish
seed wheat alone and let other sections
furnish the wheat for bread and one
looking at the well filled heads and
nice plump grains can but be struck
with the forcefulness of what he said
and if the farmers would but hold
their wheat for seeding purposes alone
they would no doubt realize more for
their crop and be of benefit to all who
were so fortunate as to buy their s eed
wheat from them.
Wm. James and W. Jackson of Cem-
etery Hill were in town yesterday.
WHAT ARE WE GOING
TO DO ABOUT IT?
It seems that the people of our
town have not yet realized the ne-
cessity of arranging to take care of
the students who will attend the
Girls Industr ial College. This insti-
tution is to be ready for work in
September and in all probability
two hundred or more young ladies
will be here at that time and they
must have some place to stiy. As
yet no one seems to be preparing to
take these young ladies and some-
thing should be done at once.
You cannot build a house in a day.
The planning, designing ar.d build-
ing will take time and it is but a
little oyer two months yet before
these houses must be ready for use.
Let us urge upon our citzens the
neccessity for speedy action in this
matter, for it would be a serious
blow to the school and town to al-
low these young ladies to come here
and then be compelled to return
home or go to some other school,
simply becau-e we could not take
care of them.
Do something.

I NDL'STKIAL EDUCATION.
What mii J ml u it rial Institution Has Done
fur a Loudlaiiua Town.
Mr. S. A. Harris of Ruston, La., is
J here prospecting for a location and to a
News reporter he expressed himself as
j very highly pleased with our people on
account of their sociability, intelligence
and thrift.
He is also very much pleased with
our splendid educational advantages
and along this line he stated some of the
advantages derived from the Boys and
Girls 1 ndustrial School of Louisiana
which is situated in his home town. Of
this school and the value to the town he
said that during the school year just
closed there were six hundred and
twenty five pupils in attendance under
the instruction of about twenty-five
teachers, and that the population of
the town had doubled in the last two
years, also that on account of the in-
created demand for traveling and ship'
ping facilities, a new railroad had been
built, thus giving them two outlets.
The new people brought to town, he
said were in the main planters from
the surrounding country and others
who moved there for the advantages of-
fered by the school and are of the bet-
ter class, thus having a refining influ-
I ence. The legislature of the staie, he
said, had set apart $55,000 tc be ex-
pended in building more room for the
accomodation of students and that when
the buildings were completed that the
attendance would be materially in-
creased, thus again causing r large in-
crease in the population.
Home idea may be obtai ned from the i
above of what the two state institutions
will do for Deutou.

CIVIC IMfllOVOUM lEAOlli
The Ortfauizatlou Will Make an l-.ffort to
Thoroughly Clean t'p the I'ltjr.
On Monday evening the executive
committee of the Civic Improvement
League, together with sub-committees,
met at the Elks hall to plan for a gen-
eral cleaning-up day for Denton. A
finance committee is raising money to
defray the expense of cleaning the town
thoroughly, once and it is expected
then that the citizens will keep Denton
jleari. A personal canvass is to be
made of the entire town, two persons
for each street, to urge the necessity of
putting the city in a more sanitary con-
dition.
It is greitly to be desired that they
will co-operate in this movement and
improve their own premises. On July
2nd the Civic Improvement League
will send wagons to all parts of the
city to collect rubbish and haul it off
without cost to the householder. It is
hoped that every man, woman and
child will help by gathering up rub-
bish from yards streets and alleys, and
bv having it piled in some convenient
place, so that no time may be lost in
loading the wagons. Four supervisors
have been appointed, one for each
ward, to plan and oversee this cleaning
1st ward, C. H. Donahower; 2nd ward,
T, M. Jones; 3rd ward, W. S. Fry , tth
ward, Dr. P. Lipscomb.
It is especially urged by the league
that every sidewa k in th e city be put
in proper condition. .Street Super-
visor Z. Wiggs will supervise the mak-
ing of all sidewalks without charge. If
our citizens will apply to him. he can
furnish gravel at a minimum fignre.
He estimates that good, dura ble side-
walks, gravel and oak plank curbing,
can be put down for 10c per f ont foot.
Cannot our men and boys cut and
burn all weeds growing in the streets?
If every householder will care for the
street in front of his premises our town
will be clean for once
