Value of Prune
In Diet Proved by
Dog Experiment
College Staton, Dec. 12.—"Try
it on the dog" meant testing a
new play on a small city aud-
ience in the days when the
theatre was associated only
with the spoken drama, but
from California comes a story
with real dogs as the subject
of a test.
The Office of Information, U.
S. Department of Agriculture,
reports "a rather astonishing
superiority in rate of growth
and general condtions developed
in prune-fed dogs." Dr. Agnes
Fay Morgan of the University
of California declares she re-
cently reared a litter of five
fox terriers at the university
laboratory on a mixture of four
dry commercial foods, three
of the dogs receiving a diet
which included 20 or 30 per
cent prune paste.
Increased vitamin A value
in the prune diet accounts for
the extra growth, Dr. Morgan
said. Thus the venerable
boarding house dessert wins
new fame!

United Gas Co.
Adds New Service
Legislature to Be
Asked to Make
'Dry Areas' Dry
Austin.—More than $5,000,000
worth of liquor is being sold
annually in Texas dry areas,
and the coming regular session
of the Legislature will be ask-
ed to make the dry territory
dry, to pass laws that will ex-
tensively tighten the restric-
tions on dry stores, which thru
prescriptions, are selling this
amount. The figure, $5,000,000,
!s correct, according to the Tex-
as Board of Liquor Control.
This will constitute one of
the scraps between the wets
and drys in the Legislature,
while another will be a renew-
al of the effort to legalize sale
of hard liquor by the drink. For
two years complaints have been
made that "dry counties" is al-
, most a meaningless term be-
cause liquor is easily and legi-
| timately available at drug es-
| tablishments.
i Records of the state board
sfeak for themselves, showing
that in the first ten months
of this year 500 holders of med-
icinal pharmacy permits have
filled 5,230 152 prescriptions for
518,397 gallons of hard liquor,
representing about 17 per cent
of the total amount of liquor
sold over the entire state.

DUKE AND DUCHESS VISIT U. S.
m
Four years to the day after he relinquished his claim to
the throne of England the Duke of Windsor arrived in the
United States with the former Wally Warfield Simpson, the
American woman he sacrificed his kingship to marry. The
Duke and Duchess came from the Bahamas, where he is gov-
ernor, to Miami, where she was scheduled to undergo a major
dental operation Wednesday. They will return Friday.
Church Calls
Minister For
Seventh Year
At a recent meeting of the
Board of Elders and Deacons'
of the local Church of Christ,
Willis G. Jernigan, minister of
that body since the fall of 1934,
was tendered a call for an ad-
ditional fifteen months ending
March 15, 1942, in which to
continue the ministerial duties
of the congregation.
At this meeting J. C. Couch,
recently of Dallas, and a retir-
ed engineer of the Texas High-
way Commission, was named to
fill a vacancy on the Board of
Elders existing by reason of
the change of residence of J.
O. Stuart to Henderson.
The officers of the church
predict a continued growth of
the membership during the com-
ing months, and have declared
the body to be in a sound
spiritual condition.
