Much of women’s periodic dis-
tress may be unnecessary!
Many who suffer from headaches,
nervousness, cramp-like pain, other
symptoms of functional dysmenor-
rhea due to malnutrition are helped
by CARDUI
Main way it helps relieve periodic
distress is by increasing appetite
and flow of gastric juice. Thus it
often aids digestion; helps build
strength, energy, resistance to
periodic disturbances.
Others find help for periodic dis-
comfort this way: Start a few days
before and take CARDUI until “the
time” has passed. Women have
used CARDUI more than 50 years.

JERRY BILL FROST FETED
WITH BIRTHDAY PARTY
A group of happy youngsters met
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Frost on Saturday afternoon to help
Jerry Bill celebrate his seventh
birthday. After various games were
played and the many lovely gifts
opened and admired, the children
were called into the dining room
where the lovely birthday cake was
the central attraction. Here the
young honoree’s favorite colors of
red, white and blue carried out the
decorative scheme. The cake, em-
bossed with a patriotic motif in red
and white, and bearing seven red
candles, rested on a red and white
crepe paper frill, under which were
hidden the good luck charms always
associated with birthdays and so
dear to a child’s heart. From each
little charm went a red ribbon
streamer to the outer edge of the
table where it was tied to a minia-
ture United States Flag with its
staff fastened in a red and white
mint to hold it upright, thus mark-
ing the children’s places about the
ped with whipped cream, accompani-
ed by pineapple and devil’s food
cake.
Those present were, Mr. and Mrs.
C. H. Sowell and daughters, Mildred
and Margaret, Mr. and Mrs. Grady
Sowell and sons Billy and Johnny,
Messrs. Jack Scott McFadden and
John Henry Kothman, all of San
Antonio; Rev. John Jones, of In-
diana; Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Sowell

Thursday, March 13th, the New

Webb, associate member of the

Judge Webb with a gift which he
acknowledged in his usual interest-
ing and engaging manner. He then
made a short talk on Friendship and
presented a long-time friend, Mrs.
Morgan Smith, of Austin, who in
turn,’ presented Mrs. J. O. Garrett,
president of the Pathfinders Club of
Austin. She gave a synopsis on the
program her club was to present on
this afternoon for the New Century
Club.
Some years ago Mrs. C. A. Graves
of Austin had written a story “The
Gold Tooth,” which she read before
the Pathfinder Club at a Christmas
meeting in the home of Mrs. Morgan
Smith. Each club member then
wrote a sequel to her story and those
who wished entered them in a con-
test and they were read at the Aus-
tin meeting last Christmas. On the
program last Thursday Mrs. Graves
read her story and the sequels, first,
secod and third choice, were given
by Mrs. T. J. Nass, Mrs. Charles A.
Lews and Mrs. George H. Wells,
