Why buy fruit, or do without it, when you can
raise it at home?
Every empty socket in your home, office or store is just like *
worker loafing on the job. The best way we know of to put these
shirkers back to work is to either ’ohone our store, come in and
get ’em or let any company employe know how many you want.
All it takes is a dime for each empty socket. Let’s go! Buy them
in cartons of six.

Is This Dreaded Disease Becoming a Plague?
Athlete’s Foot Is a fungus germ
(Tinea) which appears on the feet in
the form of a little yellow blister,
causing severe irritation and itching
—especially between the toes. This
disease is very contagious and is
spreading with alarming rapidity
among all classes of penpie.
The failure to successfully treat
Athlete’s Foot in the past has been
due largely to the fact that these
germs hibernate in the pores of the

If there are 100 small children
peddling pencils and begging on
streets, they must be doing this af-
ter school hours, said C. »JV. Nissle,
chief attendance officer for • Hous-
ton public schools, Thursday.
He added that he is making a care-
ful investigation.
Dr. J. W. Slaughter, head of
Community Chest, said 100 of
tots were being exploited by
ents and required to beg and peddle
wares on the streets.
“We’ve been working on that for
a long time,” said Mr. Nissle. “Only
one or two children peddled pencils,
etc., during school hours so far as
we have been able to find out. We
picked up one in November and later
on made the parents send lhe child-
ren to school. They were a girl and a
boy, 9 and 11 years old, who lived in
a tourist camp.
"I come through town quite fre-
quently and keep an eye on that.
“We have three attendance work-
ers. As far as our limited force can
•lo so, we keep after ail of those cas-
es. We must check up on all children
absent from school because,of lack of
clothing, because of contagious dis-
eases and must keep a check on the
children of transients and see that
those children are placed in. school;
“I make a check on the down town
area every sq. often and shall contin-
ue to do so.”
ANSON.—After drinking a deadly

SAN BENITO.—This city and Har-

that being carried out in Browns-

boast many thousands of palms
along its highways and drives.
The Brownsville palm planting
was started in November, as soon as
funds from the R. F. C. unemploy-
ment relief became available.
San Benito and Harlingen have
just worked out plans for securing
palms, which can not be bought with
the R. F. C. funds, and- the planting
is now being started.
The two cities have agreed on div-
ision of work on the main highway
connecting San Benito and Harlin-
gen. In addition to this work there
will be a large amount of palm plant-
ing on the drives around lakes and
resacas, such as the main resaca
here. Palms are also being planted
on school grounds, in parks, and
other points in the two cities.
It is estimated that approximately
50,000 palms will be planted in the
entire county.
