Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly, keep
the feet dry, avoid exposure, and above
all, drink plenty of good water and
avoid eating sweets of all kind.
Rheumatism is caused by body waste
and acids resulting from food fermen-
tation. It is the function of the kid-
neys to filter this poison from the
blood and cast it out in the urine; the
pores of the skin are also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity, in
damp and chilly cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid-
neys to do double work; they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this waste and acids, which keeps
accumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joint and muscles, causing stiffness,
soreness and pain. called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon-
ful in a glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for a week.
This is helpful to neutralize acidity,
remove waste matter, also to stimulate
the kidneys, thus often ridding the
blood of rheumatic poison
Jad Salto is Inexpensive and is made
from the add of grapes and lemon
wiE excellent results by thousands of
folks who are sabject to rheumatism.-

"Sir," I said gratefully, "may I lot

will I find you?"
We arranged to meet next day and
I returned to the hotel, having paid
in advance.
Gazing neither right nor left I
strode resolutely for the exit, but at
the door I was halted by a hand laid
upon my arm, and a quick utterance.
"Not going? At least say good-

I barely paused, replying to her.

naturally to shooting, and that within
a remarkably short time find the
targets for gratifying scores.
"The big problem is teaching the
girls that they must keep their eyes
open when they squeese the trigger,'’
he said. "At first, they are timid and
instinctively close their eyes, as they
fearfully clutch the trigger. Once
they get over 'range-fright,’ they shoot
until their shoulders are sore in the
effort to acquire proficiency."
The girls use the regulation army
Springfield rifle. Some of the co-eds
are little taller than the rifle, but else
has no bearing on the keenness of the
eye, according to Lieutenant Cantrell.
Early in the spring a competitive meet
will be staged, and the girl making
the highest score will be given a gold
medal.
Girl rifle exports of the University
of Vermont and of Drexel Institute,
Philadelphia, Pa., have challenged the
Texas University girls to a meet. As
yet there is no indication that either
meet will be closed. The northern
girls are accustomed to shooting on
an indoor range, while the Texas
University girls use the outdoor range
of the Texas National Guard at Camp
Mabry. Failure to agree on the type

of range on which the proposed
"shoots" would be held seems to of-
fer an Insurmountable barrier, ac-

tin, president of the rifle club.
A RELIABLE COUGH REMEDY.
Why experiment with unknown rem-
edies for that cough or cold when you
can secure Foley's Honey and Tar
Compound? It is a safe and reliable
remedy for the relief of coughs, colds,
hoarseness. Equally beneficial for
young and old. Mra Anna Cornell.
Bridgeton. N. J., states: "I bought
Foley’s Honey and Tar Compound for

tleman struck me; he was about to
draw on me, and by rights I might
have killed him. My apologies for
this little disturbance."
He bestowed a challenging look
upon me, a hard unforgiving look
upon the lady; with a bow he turned
for his hat, and stepping swift-
ly went back to his table.
Now in the reaction I fought des-
Call for Registered Warrants.
Another call for registered warrants
was issued Monday afternoon by State
Treasurer C. V. Terrell. there being
8204.261 in cash to the credit of gen-
eral revenue fund. All warrants up
to and including 29,250 will be paid
on presentation to the treasury de-
partment. This call takes up 2369
warrants. Warrants issued prior to
Sept. 1 have been previously paid.
The new Speedway drugstore, owned
by T. R. (Dick) Winn, locatedatFor-
tleth Street and Speedway, opened for
trade today, under the' management
of D. It Finegan. With a new build-
ing and an entirely new line of inside
equipment in the way of fountain,
cases and furniture, and a complete
line of drugs, sundries and confec-
tionary goods, this new drugstore is
prepared to satisfy the wants of any
customer.
First-class modern service is what
the management of the store promises
to the public. Free one-minute de-
livery to any part of the city will be
given. Several specialties are offered
to the patrons of this new business
such as ice cream delivery for din-
ners. the handling of the state news-
papers and a full line of magazines.
Special curb service will be given to
automobiles in the front.
A complete prescription department
will be Installed in the near future.
The prices of all articles in stock will
be the same as any downtown drug-
store, the owner stated.
Mr. Winn is an Austin man and
former University of Texas student
The manager of the store has had ex-
perience in the drug business in most

roughly stalked on and out, free of

In the momning as I left the hotel
the clerk handed me a note.

Couldn’t she understand that I was

she could do nothing with me? I was
minded to tear the note to fragments,
unread, and contemptuously scatter
them. Had she been present I should
have done so, to show her.

Various changes have been wrought
during 1928 which affect materially
the income tax returns for that year.
Births, deaths and marriages are in-
strumental in these changes. Boys
and girls who became self supporting
during the year and had an income of
more than >2000 must file returns. I
Widows and widowers losing their
spouses during the year are especially
affected. Unless remarried before the
end of the year they are only allowed

They are not required, however, to.
show on their Individual returns the
income of husband or wife up to the
time of death. This income is taken
care of by the executor or adminis-
trator of the estate of the decedent.
The exemption granted for the year
ending Dec. 31. 1923. is $2500 for a
couple if their income for 1923 was '
36000 or less and $2000 if he net in-
come exceeded >6000. If single, the
exemption is >1000.

authority over a family as the head of

Half unconsciously wadding both

to squeese the last drop of rancor from
them I swung on.
'Mr. Beeson! Walt! Please wait."
I had to turn about to avoid the
further degradation of acting the
churl to her. an inferior.

she panted, "and watching the hotel.

"Shall we go? Will you help me?"
For an instant her appeal, of swim-
ming blue eyes, upturned face, tensed
grasp, breaking voice, swayed me. But
I resolved not to be snared again.
"Impossible, madam." I uttered.
"This is final. Good-morning."
She staggered and with magnificent
but futile last flourish clapped both
hands to her face. Gazing back, as
I hastened. I saw her still there, lean-

my brain was in a smother. My new
friend moved me away from her. He
answered for me.
"Not until we've had a little con-
fab. lady. We've got matters of im-
portance jest at present."
I saw her bite her lips, as she help-
lessly flushed; her blue eyes implored
me, but I had no will of my own and
I certainly owed a measure of cour-
tesy to this man who had saved my
life.
We found a small table in a corner.
The affair upon the floor was ap-
parently past history—if it merited
even that distinction. The place had
resumed its program of dancing, play-
ing and drinking as though after all
a pistol shot was of no great moment
in the Big Tent.
"You had a narrow shave." my
friend remarked as we seated our-
selves.
He then proceeded to tell me that
the whole thing was crooked.
"And the woman ia the main steer-
er,”’ he concluded. "That purty piece
who damn ' nigh lost you your life
as well as losin’ you your money!"
"You mean the lady with the blue

"Montoyo? Who’s Montoyo?"
"The monte thrower! That same

impatiently.
"She’s bound to Montoyo. He's a
breed, some Spanish, some white,
ke as not some Injun. A devil, and
as slick as they make 'em. She's a
power too white for him, herself, but
he uses her and seme day he'll kill
her. You’re not the fust gudgeon
she’s hooked, to feed to him."
Now I saw all, or enough. I had
received no more than I deserved.
"Jest why Montoyo struck his wom-
an I don't know," the teamster went
on. "Do you?"
"Yes! She had cautioned me and
he must have heard her And she

to be free from him."
"My good 'name, then." I taunted.
"I might fear for my good name more
than I'd fear a man."
"But I'm not asking you to gharry

to love me as a paramour, sir. Flease

can’t run true. I'm under false col-

to help you, but last night the play
went wrong. And Montoyo struck me

My fingers left it as though it wero
a snake. The eight of clubs! Where
I had seen, tn fancy, the queen of
hearts, there lay like a changeling the
eight of clubs, with corners bent as
only token of the transformation.
"We can't both win, gentlemen."
the gambler said. "Dpt I am willing
to give you one more chance, from
a new deck."
What the response was I did not
know, nor care. My ears drummed
and seeing nothing I pushed through
into the open, painfully conscious
that I was flat pennfiens and that in-
steand of having played the knave, I
had played the tool, for the—queen
of hearts!
The loss of some twenty dollars
might have been a trivial matter to
me once—but here I had lost my all.
Whether large or small; and not only
had I been bilked out of it—I had
bilked myself out of it by sinking, in
pretended smartness, below the level
of a mere artful dodger!
I heard My Lady speaking beside
"I'm so sorry." She laid hand upon
my sleeve. "You should have been
content with small sums, or followed
my lead. Next time—**

blurted "I am cleaned out.""
"You don’t mean—7"

It whirled her about, to face the
gambler. His smooth olive counte-
nance waa dark with the venom of
rage incarnate that polsoned the air;
hle nyitables crackled.
"You devil! I heard you, at the
