Now! Please!—Actually put your finger on
your Adam’s Apple. Touch it—your Adam’s
Apple—Do you know you are actually touch-
ing your larynx?—This is your voice box—it
contains your vocal chords. When you con-
sider your Adam’s Apple, you are considering
your throat—your vocal chords. Don’t rasp
your throat with harsh irritants — Reach for
a LUCKY instead—Remember, LUCKY STRIKE
is the only cigarette in America that through
its exclusive "TOASTING" process expels
certain harsh irritants present in all raw to-
baccos. These expelled irritants are sold to
manufacturers of chemical compounds. They
are not present in your LUCKY STRIKE, and

A CRY in the night. Colic! No cause
for alarm if Castoria is handy.
This pure vegetable preparation brings
quick comfort, and can never harm. It
is the sensible thing when children are
ailing. Whether it’s the stomach, or
the little bowels; colic or constipation;
or diarrhea. ‘ When tiny tongues are
coated, or the breath is bad. Whenever
there’s need of gentle regulation. Chil-
dren love the taste of Castoria, and its
mildness makes it safe for frequent use.
And a more liberal dose of Castoria
is always better for growing children
than strong medicine meant only for
adult use.
peating rifle is wholly unsatisfactory.
The machine rifle, which has its
equivalent in the so-called automatic
rifle of the American army, only
serves to produce an unequal distri-
bution of individual firepower.
The colonel believes in equalizing
the distribution of firepower by elim-
inating both the bolt-action rifle and
the machine rifle, and equipping all
men with automatic rifles.
HEADACHES
NEURITIS
NEURALGIA, COLDS
Whenever you have some nagging ache
or pain, take some tablets of Bayer
Aspirin. Relief is immediate!
There’s scarcely ever an ache or pain
that Bayer Aspirin won’t relieve—and
never a time when you can’t take it.
The tablets with the Bayer cross are
always safe. They will not depress the
heart, or otherwise harm you. Use them
as often as they can spare you any pain
or discomfort. Just be sure to buy the
genuine. Examine the box. Beware of
imitations.
Aspirin is the trade-mark of Bayer
manufacture of monoaceticacidester of
salicylicacid.
Excess acid is the common cause at
indigestion. It results in pain and sour-
ness about two hours after eating. The
quick corrective is an alkali which will
neutralize acid. The best corrective
is Phillips Milk of Magnesia. It has
remained standard with physicians in
the 50 years since its invention.
One spoonful of Phillips Milk of Mag-
nesia neutralizes instantly many times
its volume in acid. It is harmless and
tasteless and its action is quick. You will
never rely on crude methods once you
learn how quickly this method acts-.
Please let it show you—now.
Be sure to get the genuine. “Milk of
Magnesia” has been the U. S. Registered
Trade Mark of The Charles H. Phillips
Chemical Company and its predecessor
Charles H. Phillips since 1875.

Good Soldiers.':
Under such circumstances, it is ar-
gued, the French infantryman should
be the best equipped foot soldier in
Europe. The present rifle, it is
pointed out, is of a type adopted
more than half a century ago, when
the bolt-action repeating rifle began
to replace the single shot weapon in
all modern armies.
Lieutenant Colonel Reboul, a rec-
ognized authority, emphasizes the ar-
gument that the present attempt to
combine in the infantry company the
machine rifle with the standard re-

693.52 less than the net income fox
1929.
Of the total decline in operating
revenue $1,160,157.33 represented
the difference in passenger revenue
for 1930 as compared to 1929. The
report shows that on the Katy, in
■common with a majority of the class
one railroads, passenger traffic in
1930* was at the lowest ebb ever rec-
orded since the advent of the bus
line and the privately owned automo-
bile. Number of passengers carried
•on all M-K-T trains totaled 886,795,
a decrease of 299,824 over 1929 and
4.718,683 less passengers than were
carried in 1921. While fewer passen-
gers were carried, those who traveled
rode an average distance of 174.26
miles each, whereas, in 1921 when
the Katy handled 5,605,478 passen-
gers, each traveled an average dis-
tance of only 73.59 miles. Thus,
while number of passengers declined
84 percent, the revenue from passen-
ger traffic has declined only 64 per-
cent over a ten year period. Total
passenger revenue in 1930 was $5,-
046,263.20, while in 1921 passenger
Tevenue amounted to $13,904,679.9'7.
Commenting upon the increased
•efficiency applied to M-K-T opera-
tions during 1930, the statement
points out that the operating ratio,
as shown in the report, was the low-
est in ten years. Of each dollar
taken in by the railroad in 1921,
79.43 cents were required for oper-
ating expenses, leaving 20.57 cents
for net revenue. In 1930, however,
the ratio had dropped to 65.78 cents
■for operation with 34.22 cents for
net revenue. The ratio for 1929 was
66.86 cents.
In spite of the decreases shown in
the report and which he attributes, to
the general depression, the extensive
nse of gas as a coal substitute, the
more extensive use of pipe lines, the
reduction of rates on cotton and the
loss of much traffic to trucks, Mr.
Cahill’s summary of the Katy’s re-
port is not without a note of opti-
mism, for in it he points to the suc-
cess that has met the efforts of the
M-K-T Transport Company, a sub-
sidiary organized to perform a pick-
up and delivery truck service in Tex-
®s, and of “helpful support” being
given efforts to restore much of the
traffic now moving by other means,
to the rails.

George Bumham, Mgr.
PARIS.—Adoption of the automat-
ic rifle to increase the firepower of
the French infantry is being strong-
ly urged here as a necessary measure
to strengthen France’s army.
Like most modern armies, includ-
ing the American, France for many
years has used the bolt-action repeat-
ing rifle as the standard weapon of
the infantryman.
Practice Economy.
All recent attempts to substitute
the automatic repeating rifle have
proved futile, technical reasons and
t those of financial economy being
cited against the acceptance of the
/ new weapon.
, But now new arguments are being
put forward, and many military ex-
. perts are siding with advocates of the
The latest compilation showed .310
producing oil wells in the East Tex-
as field and 443 wells being drilled.
Operations are proceeding so rapidly
that these figures are, of course, out
of date by this time.
We are so close to the East Texas
field it is hard for us to realize its
bigness. One competent oil authority
said the other day that the field is
the largest on this continent and sec-
ond in the world only to the field in
Venezuela. Oil is not only abundant
but of high quality.
Naturally, this authority was
thinking of the field at its maximum
development. He estimated that be-
fore the maximum is reached about
5,000 wells will have been drilled.
How rapidly new wells will be drilled
will depend upon demand for oil or
government regulation.
It almost makes one dizzy to think
that for all these years East Texans
have been living over one of the
world’s major oil pools, while huge
fortunes have been made by the
opening of lesser fields. Many of
the oldtimers in East Texas have
long believed that the region con-
tained oil, but unfortunately, they
have not had the financial means of
testing their belief.—Dallas Times
Herald.
In the “Good Old Days”
In 1680 or thereabouts there seems
to have been a strong idea as to the
business of being a wife. Here it is,
______ _____ ____ ____ _________ „ as printed in the man-made books
shown at $7,082,547.21, only $1,443,- and newspapers of the good old days:
cn i— 4.1---— -Fkv. “The wife’s occupation is to make
her husband and herself some
clothes, to make blankets and cov-
erlettes, to washe and wringe, to
wynowe all manner of cornes
(grain), to make malte, to make
heye, to helpe the husband to fylle
the dounge cart, drive the ploughe,
to loade heye, corne and suche other.
To go to market, to sell butter, chese,
mylke, egges, chekyns, hennes,
pygges, gese, and all manner of
cornes.” Three gentle cheers for the
men of old, and see how you like it!

SHERMAN.—All of the “Sherman
riot cases” have been definitely set
for trial in district Court of Travis
County, Austin, beginning June 1,
according to a message received Fri-
day by County Attorney Joe P. Cox
from District Attorney Henry H.
Brooks of Travis County.
Mr. Cox has prepared a setting for
the cases in the Austin court and
when this is approved by Judge
Moore of the court the order of trial
will have been fixed.
All material witnesses will receive
notices from Sherman and Austin,
Mr. Cox said. Probably fifty wit-
nesses will be called to testify in the
cases of the fourteen defendants.

ST. LOUIS.—Despite the general
business, depression and the inroads
of unregulated competition, the Mis-
souri-Kansas-Texas freight volume in
.1930 was only seven percent below
the average for the last ten years,
.according to the annual report for
last year issued here today by M. H.
Cahill, president and chairman of the
"board. This comparison is regarded
•as particularly interesting in view of
the record-breaking freight tonnage
handled by the Katy Lines in the
years immediately proceeding 1930.
In a statement accompanying the
report, it was pointed out that while
the volume of freight service per-
formed for the public was seven per-
cent below the ten year average, the
compensation received by the rail-
road was thirteen percent less than
the annual average for the same pe-
riod. This, the statement said, was
•explained by the gradual but steady
■decline in freight rates in recent
years.
Tons of freight carried one mile,
the yardstick by which volume of
freight service on railroads is usual-
ly measured, totaled 2,920,824,630 in
1930 and freight revenue, $36,862,-
328.04; whereas, the annual ten year
-average of tons carried one mile was
■3,142,067,500 and the average an-
nual freight revenue $42,463,915.01.
The report shows that the M-K-T,
faced with declining revenues, which
for the year amounted to 18 percent
less than that of 1929, was able by
strict economy and increased effi-
ciency, to reduce operating expenses
19.3 percent. The total operating
revenue was $45,948,859.05 which
was $10,075,580.10 less than that of
.1929, although the net operating
revenue was only $2,844,243.17 less
than in 1929. The net income is

The Wages of Age
It is one thing to be physically old,
quite another to be psychologically
old. The first is told by the calendar,
the second by experience.
Why do men and women as a rule
become pessimistic after they have
passed the middle years? Why do
fits of depression come in the later
years? These questions have always
puzzled the biographers of great men
and women.
Each individual is a sort of focus
of memories, more or less easily re-
called. Each individual is a host that
feeds the present experience on the
crumbs of the past.
Since times change, there is a con-
flict between the now and the then.
Present experiences seem to rebel
against the memories of the past.
And since the force of memories de-
clines with the passing of time, the
present experience tends to take the
helm and rule the situation.
So time after time the individual
must surrender his cherished mem-
ories in favoi’ of present expedi-
encies. This weakens his will. He
quits each new encounter before it
has actually begun. ‘ He looks to
every future act in terms of a new
surrender. Nothing seems right. He
becomes a pessimist.
Down through the years great men
have changed from optimists to pes-
simists—Tennyson, Lamb, Ruskin,
Carlisle, Darwin. Tolstoi. All these
were men of wide experience. So
pessimism seems to be somewhere
near the end of that road called ex-
perience.
