Here is a side incident regarding
Mr. Couch that is worthy of note
"or years he roughed it among the
ierricks and as he expresses it. ate
bum oil field boarding house grub.”
The result was a bad stomach-indi-
cstion and its train of miseries.
•’But lam free of it at last. lam

ORPHANS' HOME REPORTS
More Children Are Cared for Than
in Any Previous Year.
That more children were admitted
' into the Protestant Orphans' Home
during the year of 1913 than ever
before in its history was the theme
of the report made the board of di-
rectors at their annual meeting
Tuesday by Mrs. B. H. Zuber re-
cording secretary. She continued
that in all 113 children were admit-
ted in addition to those already in
the home.
On October 29 there were 86 chil-
dren in the home the largest num-
ber at any time during the year.
The smallest number was 61 chil-
dren on April 21. The average num-
ber in the home was 71. Forty-seven
children were returned to their par-
ents. who were again in a position
to care for them. Six boys and four
girls were given for adoption to wor-
thy people.
Twenty-nine children were placed
in the home by the humane socie-
ties of San Antonio. The report also
showed that since 1890 the home had
cared for 1229 children.

Besides -beautifying the hair at

But what will please you most

INTERURBAN ROAD
ELECTS OFFICERS
Vories P. Brown Again Se-
lected as President of
Company.
Vories P. Brown’ was re-elected
president at the first annual stock-
holders’ meeting of the San Antonio
| * Austin Interurban Railway Com-
: pany held Tuesday afternoon In this
I city. Other officers and directors
were elected and a report was made
on the status of the project. This re.
port was of an optimistic nature
showing that the proposed line has
been located and about 80 per cent
of the right-of-way secured.
It also showed that about $200-
000 worth of preferred stock has
been placed since the enterprise was
launched. $120000 in San Antonie
and the remainder in towns along
the line. Confidence was expressed
by directors that as soon as $500-
000 of the stock has be n sold ail
right-of-way secured and necessary
franchises obtained the company
will be in a position to dispose of its!
bonds. After the road has been
bonded construction will be started ।
at an early date.
Other officers elected all of whom '
are directors of the organization
were: W. B. Tuttle vice president;
H. G. Henne vice president; Will G
Barber vice president; A. J. Ellers
vice president; Sam C. Bell secre-
tary and Jesse D. Oppenheimer
treasurer.
It was decided that the sale of
preferred stock should be pushed en-
ergetically and the remainder of the
right-of-way secured so that the
company will be better fixed to mar-
ket its bonds.
BIDS FOR CONTRACT
TO TRANSFER MAIL
H. E. Hildebrand Fears That
Parcel Post Business Will
Expand.
Although dubious as to the out-
come of the venture if he secures
the contract H. E. Hildebrand presi-
dent of the Carter-Mullaly Transfer
Company ha s submitted a bid to
the postoffice department for haul-
ing mail between transfer points and
the postoffice in this city. The con-
tract will be let for a four-year
period ending in 191 R. Mr. Hilde-
brand is the present contractor but
hesitated to bid on the new contract
because of hia inability to estimate
to what proportions the parcel post
business may groy by 1918.
As far as can be learned Mr. Hil-
debrand was the only bidder for the
contract here. Several weeks ago the
executives of transfer companies in
Dallas Houston and San Antonio all
of whom have been handling gov-
ernment mail contracts held a con-
ference to decide whether they could
iifford to bid for the new business in
view of the probable expansion of
the parcel post.
Before making his bid Mr. Hilde-
brand went to Washington In an ef-
fort to secure additional informa-
tion regarding the parcel post fea-
ture.

ruary 12. This high Masonic offi-
cial will make only this one stop in
Texas and in securing his presence

over a half dozen other cities of
the state making bids for his visit.
Dallas especially was active in ex-
tending an invitation to Mr. McAr-
thur to stop in that city.
Mr. McArthur will pass through
Texas en route to Los Angeles to

annual conclave of Masons to be

D’NEAL’S CONTENTION
IS HELD ERRONEOUS
Adverse Report on Creden-
tials of Glass Sent to
Senate.
WASHINGTON D. C„ Jan. 21.—
The adverse report of the commit-
tee on privileges and elections on
the credentials of Frank P. Glass
of Birmingham. Ala. appointed by
Governor O'Neal of Alabama to suc-
ceed the late Senator Johnson was
reported to the Senate today by Sen-
ator Walsh of Montana on behalf
of the committee.
The report maintained that the
contention of Governor O'Neal that
it was unnecessary to call a special
election under the term R of the I7tl;
amendment providing direct election
of senators was erroneous and held
further that the state’s machinery
was inadequate for such an election
without further action which would
have necessitated a special session
ot the legislation.
Senator Braf jy of Kentucky will
file a minority report in the case
which will come before the Senate
probably next week. Consideration
of the credentials of Blair Lee. sena-
tor-elect from Maryland Is delayed
awaiting a minority report.
