When Acid Indigestion, Gas on
Stomach or Heartburn make you
feel uncomfortable or embarrass
you, try Alka-Seltzer, which con-
tains alkalizing buffers and so
helps counteract the associated
Excess Stomach Acidity. .»
But the relief of these minor
stomach upsets is only a small,
part of what you can expect
Alka-Seltzer to do for you. You
will find it effective for Pain Re-
lief in Headache, Neuralgia, Colds
and Muscular Aches and Pains.
It contains an analgesic, (sodium
acetyl salicylate), made more
prompt and effective in its pain-
relieving action by alkaline buffer
salts.
When hard work or strenuous
exercise make you feel tired and
dragged out, enjoy the refresh-
ing effect of a glass of sparkling,
tangy Alka-Seltzer.

Bascom Giles, Commisioner of
th General Land Office, states
that the Public Free School Fund
which now amounts to approxi-
mately seventy-three million dol-
lars, will be considerably increas-
ed by the selling of a large part
of the 230,000 acres of land that
is now being offered for sale.
This money will be very much
needed' since the revenue to the
School Fund will be considerably
reduced by the loss of revenue
- 'from the gasoline tax which has
been brought about by the ra-
tioning of tires.
When this land is sold and put
into private domestic use it will
be placed upon the tax rolls,
thereby increasing the revenue not
only for the Public Free School
fund and school districts, but also
for State and County taxes as
well.
Commissioner Giles further
points out that these lands are
sold on one-fifth down payment,
together with a note on the re-
maining four-fifths of the princi-
pal bearing 5 percent interest on
forty years time, the payments
on the principal being deposited
to the Permanent School fund;
whereas, the interest payments
are payable to the Available
School Fund for immediate use.
The state retains one-sixteenth
free royalty in all oil or gas that
may be found on these lands.
Commissioner Giles also states
that these lands offered for sale
are of varying types and' are lo-
cated in 120 different counties of
the state. A purchaser of said
land is not required to live upon
it.
Anyone interested in the pur-
chase of these lands may secure,
free of charge, lists giving com-
plete description and location, to-
gether with application blanks,
by writing Bascom Giles, Commis-
sioner of the General Land Office,
Austin, Texas.

Registrants Desiring To
Enlist in Navy Must Do So
Before Final Army Exam
A change in policy just an-
nounced by the War Department
wherein all acceptable registrants
in the Selective Service System
will be inducted into the Army
at the time of reporting for the
Army physical examination makes
necessary a slight change in the
policy of the Naval Reserve for
the enlistment of men, it was de-
clared here Monday by Lieuten-
ant Commander B. D. Wood, US
NR, Officer-in-Charge of the
Houston Naval Recruiting District.
“Under the new policy,” the
commander said, “a selectee may
' be enlisted in the Naval Reserve
even tho he has received his or-
ders from the local draft board
to report for physical examination,
but he must enlist prior to report-
You are close to me, dear, every
trail that you take
I feel your spirit too, in every
prayer that you speak.
In sunlight and shadows our
hopes we will share
For souls can’t be severed—this
love is rare!
—Madge Frank
SOMETHING ALL CAN DO
ing for the Army physical. The ।
mere fact that a man has applied g
for enlistment in the Naval Re- (&
serve but has not taken the Oath 1 5
of Allegiance does not exempt )
him from the jurisdiction of the
Selective Service System.”
In the past, he pointed out, it
has been the policy of the local
draft boards to allow selectees
from ten to thirty days after re-
ceiving the Army physical exami-
nation before issuing them the
induction orders. Such selectees
were acceptable in the Naval Re-
serve up until the receipt of their
Army induction orders. The new
ruling announced by the War De-
partment eliminates this waiting
period and automatically inducts
an acceptable selectee into the
Army at the time he takes his
physical examination.
The only exception to this new
policy is in the case of a man
who has made a formal applica-
tion for a commission in the Navy
or Naval Reserve, Lieutenant-
Commander Wood stated. In such
a case, a selectee may, upon ap-
plication to his local draft board,
be allowed sixty days deferment
before induction in order to com-
plete the application for a com-
mission. ,
It was emphasized that men de-
siring to enlist in the Naval Re-
serve must do so before reporting
for the Army physical examina-
tion.
