and broke his left leg near the

some lines for catfish. He was
rushed to the local hospital
where X-rays revealed the
break, and removed by ambu-

in room 624. He was accompani-

condition.—Times.
College Station, Aug. 18.—
Women who have been com-1
plaining about the heaviness
and thickness of rayon hose
have been offered a ray of hope.
The Bureau of Home Nutri-
tion and Home Economics in
Washington has announced
that greater quantities of full-
fashioned, moderately fine ray-
on hose are to be produced this
fall. Since April when the ori-
ginal order for rayon hosiery
was issued, only heavy yarns
have been made into 39-gauge
stockings. . . But now lighter
yarns will be used in 39-gauge
hose.
Mrs. Dora R. Barnes, cloth-
ing specialist for the A. and
M. College Extension Service,
explains that gauge refers to
the number of stitches to one
and one-half inches of knit
farbic. The higher the gauge,
the finer the stocking.
She adds that if any rayon
stockings are knit of acetate

Bellville, August 12.—Two
cases of poliomyelitis, or infan-
tile paralysis, were discovered
in Austin county last week,
when Clement Krenek, aged 14,
and his brother, aged 8. sons
of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Krenek
of near Industry, were found
to be suffering from the dis-
ease. Both toys were taken to
the Jefferson Davis hospital in
Houston where they are receiv- >
ing the famed Kenney treat-
ment. No late report on their
condition is available.
The two cases were the third ,
and fourth to be reported in
the county this year. In Jan-
uary the young child of George
Carter, Negro, was found to
have the affliction. The child
recovered but is now paralyzed
in one foot. In the spring a
white child was believed to
have 'had the disease, however,
with prompt treatment recover-
ed entirely within 11 days and
has no permanent effects.
Dr. O. E. Steck, county 1
health officer, said it is most
unusual for the disease to af- '
feet Negroes, and pointed out
that very little is known about
the disease, at best.
The older Krenek child had ,
been sick for about a week be-
for the disease was diagnosed
as infantile paralysis and the
younger boy became sick on
Sunday morning, was transfer-
red to Houston that evening.
Dr. Steck advised the public
to follow the well known rules
of cleanliness and sanitation by
destroying all breeding places
for flies and mosquitoes and
killing all rats, and to provide
their children with adequate
rest and good food. Further
to illustrate that little is known
about the disease, however, he
pointed out that the Krenek
family has at all times appar-
ently practiced scrupulous clean-
liness about their home and
that no unusual contacts with
the public ’had been made by
the boys.
Dr. Steck advised parents not
to become unduly excited or
worried about the disease and
cautioned about rumors of
widespread epidemics. Only a
small percentage of infantile
paralysis cases are fatal and
prompt diagnosis and equally
prompt treatment of the afflic-
tion, results in complete cure
in most cases.
It is believed that any child
with fever should be seen
the family physician, most
pecially when any type
muscular aches accompany
temperature.—Times.
Mr. Warschak’s health began
to fail about six .years ago. He
was suffering from rheumatism
and infirmities of old age, and
about three weeks ago compli-
cations appeared which requir-
ed him to undergo an operation
in an effort to prolong his life.

Austin, August 17.—In con-
trast to higher costs of living
on most items for the house-
holder in these war-times, the
Lower Colorado River Authori-
ty last week announced a re-
duction rates paid by electrical
consumers in eight towns
which it operates.
Rates for the towns which
the Authority continues to op-
erate directly will be cut from
10 to 15 per cent, depending
upon the economic ability of
the individual towns to stand
the reductions, the Authority's
board <of directors announced.
The rate reductions will be
applicable in Lampasas, Llano.
Burnet San Saba, San Marcos,
Kerrville, Lometa, and Flatonia.
Several thousand customers
will be involved in the reduc-
tions and there will be a sub-
stantial amount of money in-
volved annually. The exact re-
ductions in the towns and the
amounts of money involved will
be announced as soon as com-
plete studies can be finished.
Max Starcke. general manager
of the Authority said.
The minimum cut, however,
according to the action of the
board of directors, will be 10
per cent and the maximum 15
per cent.
When the new reductions are
placed in effect, the rates will
have been reduced more than
half of what they were before
the properties were acquired
by the LORA and will be low-
er than TVA rates.

Herman Veith, prominent re-
tired fanner of the Rockhouse
community, died at his home on
Sunday, August 15, at 3 a. tn.,
following a lingering illness.
Mr. Veith was born on Nov.
3, 1860 in Brandenberg, Ger-
many and in 1868 came to Am-
erica with his parents and six
sisters, settling in the Shelby
community where he attended
school and grew to man hood.
On Feb. 14, 1888 he was united
in marriage with Miss Anna
Rinn, daughter of the late Mr.
and Mrs. Ludwig Rinn. To this
union were born six children,
of whom two died during infan-
cy.
Surviving are his grief-strick-
en wife; three sons, Herbert,
Walter and Kinney Veith of
Rock house; one daughter, Mrs.
Otto (Renate) Renck of War-
renton ; ten grandchildren and
one great grandchild, as well
as a large relationship.
Mr. Veith spent practically
all of his life in Austin county.
He was a successful farmer
and at all times took an active
interest in the welfare of his
community. He enjoyed splendid
health until early in 1922, when
he became afflicted with a ser-
ious stomach ailment, and on
May 13, 1922 he underwent an
operation in a Temple hospitaL
He withstood the operation ex-
ceptionally well and enjoyed
good health again until Novem-
ber of last year when he be-
came ill again. Everything pos-
sible was done by expert medi-
cal attention and nursing to
again bring about relief and the
return of good health. However,
this was all in vain. He attain-
ed the age of 82 years, 9
