agreement that the Council will re-
turn $25 of the $50 license fee in each
case as soon a* the new amendmenta
become effective. The route will be
reduced, then, from thirty-five blocks

The four Councilmen went on a tour
of inspection of the several bridges
that are under construction in the city
Tuesday morning. The concrete span
over Shoal Creek on State Street,
which had already been accepted from
the contractor, presented an appear-
ance of great solidity and of good looks.
The stone bridge of three arches which
replaces a stone bridge of one aren
across Waller Creek at Twenty-second
Street is nearly complete and was pro-
nounced exceeding attractive. The
bridge over Waller Creek on First
is expected to be completed within
three weeks. Several other bridges are
in various stages of completion. and
work is progressing satisfactorily.
The closing exercises of the Pfluger-
ville schools will take place on the
evening of May B, at which time Mr
George Mendell Jo. of Austin will de-
liver an address to the class of eight
graduates. The trustees who were in
the city today to convey the invitation
to Mr. Mendell declared that the Pflu-
gerville schools had had quite a suc-

An affection confined to women must
have its cause in the womanly nature.
There is no doubt that a diseased condi-
tion of the delicate womanly organs is
in general responsible for feminine nerv-
ousness and an undermined constitution.

scription makes women happy by making
them healthy. There are no more cry-
ing spells. It relieves inflammation and
female weakness. Makes weak women
strong, sick women well. Contains no

viding for the appointment of House
conferees* after limited debate on a
motion to recommit.

The longest judgment ever handed
down in a Travis County court was
rendered by Judge Calhoun in the Fif-
ty-third District Court today as a re-
sult Qf an agreement by which six
years of litigation involving land
claimed by the late C. W. Post, mil-
lionaire breakfast food manufacturer
wna ended and more than >25,000
changed hands. The Judgment conaiat-
ed of 3C1 typewritten pages. Immedi-
ately after it was signed by Judge Cal-
i houn, checks totally approximately
| >25,000 were signed by R. L. Batts of
i Batts & Brooks, attorneys for the Post
heirs, and turned over to attorneys for
the State and for the individual claim-
ants of the land involved.
The case grew out of the filing by
certain parties upon 2400 acres of al-
inged vacant land adjoining the great
Post tracts in Garza and Lynn coun-
ties and claimed by C. W. Post under
a re-survey made in 1906. Mr. Post
sued J. T. Robinson, Land Commis-
sioner, for' injunction to prevent the
delivery of the land to the clairnanta.
The State of Texas intervened in the
suit, as did also the claimants who had
filed on the land in dispute. In the
Fifty-third District Court judgment
was rendered in favor of Mr. Post, but
the Court of Civil Appeals, after first
affirming the case, reversed and ren-
dered it on rehearing. It was then
taken to the Supreme Court on a writ
of rror and that court held font, the
re-survey which had included the dis-
puted land, ws not binding on the
state. It also held, however, that trial
of the suit had not fully developed
what amount of land was held by the
State to be vacant land, and ordered
the retrial of the case t> settle this
question.
Mr. Post, as is well knwn, killed
himself while the case was still pend-
ing for retrial in the Fifty- third Dis-
trict Court. Because the disputed land
had been cut up for sale to coolnists
and had, in fact, become a part of the
approximately 200,000 acres of the Post
estate in Garza snd Lynn counties, ex-
peru engineers’representing the State
and the Post heirs went over the sur-
vey to establish how much of the land
was vacant, according to the State's
theory, and it was agreed to pay the
State for the land. In addition, the
rights of those filing on the land were
purchased and the agreed judgment
wm entered on this basis.
Assistant Attorney General Smedley
represented the State in the litigation,
while the Post estate was represented
by Batts & Brooks, and the other
claimants by White, Cartledge ft
Graves of Austin and McDugald & Fer-
guson of Dallas. The helm of Mr. Post

At a recent meeting of the question
of preparednens of "peace at any price"
came up for discussion and found some
advocates among them several mem-
bers of the bar. The Town and Gown
Club members always speak out in
meeting. Dr. Vinson arose to say that
he has no patience with “i>eace at any
price" doctrine; that under certain
conditions he believes that war be-
comes necessary; that under such con-
ditions he would not refuse to fight
but would be willing to fight, and he
proceeded to castigate some of those
who took the opposite view—and to
urge preparedness.

Important to Dispose of Waste
From the Stomach With
Regularity. .ga
People.frequently attribute to failure
of the igestive organs conditions that
are primarily due to inactive bowels
and apply remedies that from their
very nature are more apt to aggravate
than to relieve the disorder.
When foe bowels act regularly, the
stomach is in better shape to perform
It* allotted tasks and can usually be
depended upon. To keep the bowels in
condition, there is no more effective
remedy than the combination of simple
laxative herbs known as Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin, which is sold in drug
stores for 50 cents a bottle.
Dr. Caldwell has prescribed this rem-
edy in his practice for over a quarter
of a century and it is today the stand-
ard household remedy in thousands of
homes. Mr. Thomas DeLoach, with the
Department of the Interior, office of
Indian Affairs, at Washington, wrote
Dr. Caldwell recently that "Dr. Cald-
well’* Syrup Pepsin is the best laxa-
tive I have any knowledge of and the
cleaning up guaranteed by its use re-
lieves every organ."
