YOUNG LADY INJURED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Miss Curtis Jennings Receives
Painful Wounds When She
Falls From Auto on
Comanche Road.
Brownwood Bulletin, Dec. 18.
Miss Curtis Jennings, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Jen-
nings, received severe injuries
Saturday night when she was
thrown from a moving automo-
bile about six miles north of
Brownwood. Mrs. Jennings
stated this morning that her
daughter was resting nicely
and that it is not feared fatal
complications will set in.
Miss Jennings was in a party
enroute to Comanche when the
accident occurred. Others in
the car were Miss Eula Belle
Marshall, Frank Smith and
David Camp, Mr. Smith occu-
pying the front seat of the car
with Miss Jennings, the other
two the rear seat.
According to members of the
party, the car was crossing a
small ditch, dipped sharply,
when Miss Jennings bounced
from her seat and fell to the
floor of the machine. Her
weight, it is presumed pushed
open the door on the right side
of the automobile. She was
found a few minutes later in an
unconscious condition, her head
bent under her body, covered
with dust.
One of the miracles of the
accident was when another car
following closely behind the
one driven by Frank Smith,
swerved to one side, avoiding
passing over the limp body
of Miss Jennings.
The driver of the second car,
it is said, did not see the un-
conscious girl lying in the road,
but turned to one side for rea-
sons he knows not of. It is be-,
lieved that had he passed over
the injured young lady, fatal
injuries would have been sus-
tained.
Miss Jennings was carried toj
Blanket by the young people'
who had hopes that she was |
not seriously injured but would (
revive rapidly. Finding that
she did not gain consciousness
as they traveled, the party re-
turned to Brownwood where
medical aid was administered
to the injured lady immediately
after their arrival.
It was feared Sunday that
fatal injuries were sustained in
the accident. Miss Jennings
revived a few hours after the
accident and complained of
her head hurting her. At that
time it was believed concus-
sion of the brain had set in,
but an announcement from her
bedside this morning dispelled
this belief. It was also feared
that she was injured internally,
but today it was stated that
only external injuries were sus-
tained.
Other members of the car
received severe shake-ups when
the car passed over the defect-
ive piece of roadway. Miss
Marshall on the rear seat re-
ceived bruises.

AND WHAT SINCLAIR SAYS IS SO.
In the army of shoe wearers, more than
half of thein occasionally find fault with
their footwear. We think we can tell you
where the trouble lies.
They should pick out a good shoe store—
let the folks there find out what their feet
really need and stick to the one place.
Right now, of course, we're speaking of
our own store—we are pretty well pleased
with it—so will you be if you become one
of our regular customers.

Quick
rCold Relief-i
Is usually found through the prompt
administration of a mildly laxative,
dispersive tonic—one that will scat-
ter the inflammation, remove the
waste, and help Nature to build up
resistance.
Peruna is That Tonic.
Its action is prompt, usually very
effective, and its use is without harm-
ful effects. Every household should
keep it at hand for this purpose, and
every catarrhal sufferer should reg-
ularly use this reliable remedy.
The tablet form will be found very
convenient. A tablet or two at the
very beginning of a cold will fre-
quently prevent its development,
and these tablets may be taken reg-
ularly with beneficial results.
Many prefer
the liquid form
which for Dearly
half a century haa
been the reliance
of tho American
Home.
Both are food.
Yourdrufgiat can
supply you.
