Doctors Know!
.. • and they use
liquid laxatives
You’d use a liquid, too, if you knew
how much better it makes you feel.
A liquid laxative can always be
taken in the right amount. You can
gradually reduce the dose. Reduced
dosage is the secret of real and safe
relief from constipation.
Just ask your own doctor about
this. Ask your druggist how popular
liquid laxatives have become. The
right liquid laxative gives the right
kind of help—and the right amount
of help. When the dose is repeated,
instead of more each time, you take
less. Until the bowels are moving
regularly and thoroughly without aid.
People who have experienced this
comfort, never return to any form of
help that can’t be regulated! The
liquid laxative generally used is Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It contains
senna and cascara, and these are
natural laxatives that form no habit.
It relieves a condition of biliousness
or sluggishness without upset
To relieve your occasional upsets
safely and comfortably, try Syrup
Pepsin. The druggist has it.

The Sealy Tigers are yet to
be defeated in basketball. Last
week the boys traveled to Ber-
nard Prairie and defeated that
team to the tune of 24-18. They
went from there to Rosenberg
and won a doubleheader from
that team by scores of 34-18
and 18-10. Friday night Coach
Rice took the team to his home
ton of La Grange, where, before
a large and very enthusiastic
crowd, our Tigers defeated the
Leopards 39-25. One of the in-
terested spectators at the game
was Miss Elsie Ripple of Sealy,
who is a teacher in the La
Grange School.
The Sealy boys had easy sail-
ing in this game until the last
quarter when La Grange staged
a rally and pulled up to within
six points of the Tigers. But
Verm started finding the range
and the Tigers soon puled away.

TUESDAY NIGHT
The Somerville basket ball
team will meet the Sealy boys
here Tuesday night at 7:15.
Sealy has defeated Somerville
once, but our boys barely won
out. Somerville has several
sharpshooters and may win on
a fast court.
This is the next to the last
game of the season here in
Sealy. The attendance at the
previous games has been very
small for such a winning team,
and there is some talk of dis-
continuing this sport until more
interest is shown. Let’s all turn
out and back our boys. Admis-
sion is ten and fifteen cents.

Bill Favored, But—
There is little likelihood that
the bill will be finally enacted
in its present form. There is
wide-spread commendation of
its purposes on both sides of
both houses. Some sort of a
measure, embodying those gen-
eral ideas, seems certain to be
enacted at this session.
Among objections raised to
the bill as introduced, one is
that it is too complicated; that
it ought to be divided into four
bills, covering the four sub-
jects. The principal objection
is that the $30 a month old-age
pension isn’t high enough to
satisfy the advocates of the
Townsend plan. The President
himself, in his talk to news-
paper men, suggested that the
pension figure might be raised
to $40. The influence of the
advocates of the Townsend pro-
ject for $200 a month pensions
for everybody over 60 is amaz-
ing, especially in the lower
house. And they want it now.
The Wagner-Lewis bill would
defer annuties granted as a
matter of light until 1942;
pensions granted before then
will be only to those who can
prove they are really destitute,
and until 1940 the age limit
for such pensions may be fixed
at seventy years instead of
sixty-five.
The big fight of the Old Age
feature of the measure will be,
then, on three fronts—to re-

amined by the Grand Jury. We
found that all said reports had
been approved by the County
Auditor and the County Trea-
surer had receipted for all mon-
ies due- and payable to the
County by such officers, and
we accordingly approve said
reports.
The Grand Jury wishes to
commend the Sheriff’s Depart-
ment of the County and the
Prosecuting Attorney for their
diligence and efficiency in the
preparation of the cases pre-
sented to the Grand Jury. The
thoroughness of these officers
in the performance of their
duties greatly lightened the
work of the Grand Jury and
also made it possible for the
Grand Jury to get through with
the work in a very short time,
thereby saving the County the
expense entailed by long and
extended investigations con-
ducted by the Grand Jury. We
commend them for their work
and we trust that they will
continue to perform their duties
diligently and efficiently.
We have completed our la-
bors and this i eport is our final
report. We respectfully ask
that it be received and that we
be discharged.
Respectfully submitted,
F. A. Weige, Foreman.

Bellville, Texas, January 22,
—To the Honorable M. C. Jef-
frey, Judge of the District
Court, of Austin County, Tex-
as:
Now comes the Grand Jury
for the January Term, A. D.,
1935, and respectfully makes
this its final report, supple-
menting the partial report
heretofore made on January 8,
1935, and herewith returns in-
to this Court six indictments,
which together with the twen-
ty indictments heretofore re-
turned make a total of twenty-
six indictments returned by
this body.
We have inspected the coun-
ty jail and find it in good con-
dition, sanitary and well kept
and the prisoners well cared
for. We noticed, however, that
the smokestack inside the
building, leading from the heat-
ing plant to the roof, is in bad
condition and should be repair-
ed, and we recommend to the
Commissioners’ Court that they
take this matter under advise-
ment and take such action as
may be necessary to have the
necessary repairs made.
We have also inspected the
county poor farm and found it
in good condition, the premises
well kept and sanitary, and the
inmates well cared for and ap-
parently contented. Our inspec-
tion disclosed that the build-
ings are in need of a coat of
paint, and we recommend to the
Commissioners’ Court that they
have the buildings painted, be-
lieveing that it would be more
economical to the tax payers of
the county to preserve these
buildings by keeping them well
covered with paint than to let
them deterioate and in time
cause the county to go to the
expense of having to replace
them.
We have also inspected the
county court house. We found
that the valuable records in
the offices of the Tax Collec-
tor and Assessor, the County
Treasurer and County Auditor
are now not properly protected
from fire. It is true that some
of these records are kept in a
safe in the County Treasurer’s
office but this safe is too small
to hold more than just a few
of these records. We believe
the records in these offices
should be properly protected
from fire and we deem it ad-
visable that the Commission-
er’s Court should provide some
suitable and adequate protec-
tion for these records. We,
therefore, reccommend to the
Commissioner’s Court that they
take this matter under advise-
ment and if the finances of the
County will permit that they
have a vault constructed in the
Court House at some suitable
place to properly protect and
preserve the valuable records
in the offices of the Assessor
and Collector, the County Trea-
surer and the County Auditor.

Rev. Thomas W. White, mis-

Association, held preaching
service at the local Baptist
church at the morning and
evening hours last Sunday, and
held church conference at 2
o’clock in the afternoon. In ad-
dressing the congregation at
each preaching hour he sug-
gested ways and means of in-
creasing Sunday School and
preaching attendance, problems
that confront churches with
pastors in charge. Without reg-
ular leadership the Baptist
people have carried on them
work splendidly during the past
year, the Sunday School and all
other organizations having
grown in membership. Rev.
White will return here on Feb-
ruary 10, at which time he will
again hold services.

duce the age limit to sixty, to
increase the monthly pension
to much more than $30, and to
make it include both husband
and wife, and to provide for
payments to everybody of the
required age without making
it necessary for them to de-
clare themselves paupers.
States Must Cooperate
One important feature of the
bill is that it calls for coopera-
tion by the states, specifying
the kind of old - age pensions
which states must set up if
their citizens are to benefit
under the Economic Security
Act, which is the official title
of the measure.
Twenty - eight states now
have old age pension laws,
varying greatly in detail and
amount of pensions paid. The
average is $19.34 a month, the
highest, Iowa, $30 a month.
Nearly 115,000 old people re-
ceived over 26 million dollars
in 1933 under these state sys-
tems. Now states which want
to participate must reform
their old-age plans if they want
Federal aid, and as nearly all
legislatures meet this year, it
is expected that most of them
will come in speedily.
Second Attempt
This is not the first old-age
pension plan under the present
Administration. Last year, on
August 1, the Railroad Retire-
ment Act went into effect, pro-
viding compulsory retirement
of all railroad workers at 65,
or after 30 years service, with
pensions, out of funds contri-
buted by the roads and the
workers, up to as high as $120
a month. But the Supreme
Court of the United States de-
clared this Act unconstitutional
on October 24.
It is no secret that one of
the compelling motives for the
pressure behind the bill — the
heaviest pressure the President
has yet seen fit to exert upon
Congress—is the desire to take
the wind out of the sails of
Senator Huey Long and his re-
distribution of wealth program,
as well as to head off the men-
ace of the great mass of votes
behind the Townsend Plan.

WASHINGTON
ECONOMIC SECURITY
Washington, January 31.—
Topping all other subjects now
under discussion here, is the
President’s Economic Security
proposal, which has taken pre-
cedence of the veterans’ bonus
and the four billion dollar work
relief project. Those haven’t
been shelved; a bonus measure
will be enacted which will meet
the veterans’ demands at least
half way. And the four billions
for public works will be voted
almost as a matter of routine,
with probably fewer strings at-
tached to it than had been an-
ticipated. But the big thing of
the moment, which may turn
out to be the biggest thing in
this Administrations’ career,
when history comes to be writ-
ten, is the gigantic plan for
nation-wide old-age pensions
under Federal supervision, un-
employment insurance on a na-
tional scale, with a broad child-
welfare and public health pro-
gram tacked on for good meas-
ure.
Boiled down to essentials,
the plan proposed by the Presi-
dent and emboided in the Wag-
ner-Lewis bill, makes the fol-
lowing provisions:
1. Old Age security. A pen-
sion of $30 a month for every
person over the age of 65—
that means $60 for man and
wife both of 65—to be paid
half by the states and half by
the Federal government, to
persons now without adequate
means of subsistence, or who
may reach that age before the
old age annuity funds provided
for in the bill have built up
enough to provide that income.
An annual tax on payrolls to
provide old - age retirement
funds as well as to build up an
employment insurance fund.
Provisions whereby “self - em-
ployed” persons, such as farm-
ers, professional men and oth-
ers may make voluntary pay-
ments to the annuity fund, en-
titling them to receive a life
pension when they reach sixty
five years.
2. Unemployment insurance.
A tax on all payrolls, to be paid
by employers, half of it to be
deducted from the pay of em-
ployees, to be used to compen-
sate employees who are laid off
or otherwise unable to work,
and also to build up the old age
pension fund.
3. Maternal Welfare and
Child Health. Appropriation of
$4,000,0000 a year to be used
A fine baby daughter was

Viereck Saturday, January 26.
The little Miss will be known

Sealy has been unable to win
the County Championship. But
they stand a good chance to

game with plenty of thrills.
