Another Question
About CARDUI
%
MOTHERS RECOMMEND IT
“Why do so many MOTHERS
recommend Cardui to their daugh-
ters?” __
Isn’t it but natural that any good
mother should tell her daughter;
about Cardui if the mother herself
felt that she had been benefited by
this medicine?
It is impressive that so many
women report having taken Cardui
on the advice of their mothers.
Cardui has been found to benefit
women when weakened by malnu-
trition ipoor nourishment); and it
helps tr; relieve much discomfort at
monthly periods.
T housands of women testify Car-
dui helped them. Of course, if it
dees not help you, consult a physi-
cian. (Adv.)
Spanky McFarland ascends among
the cinema stars in “General
Spanky," the new feature-length
comedy at the Texas Theatre to-
day.
“GENERAL .SPANKY” STARS
LOVEABLE, JUVENILE TEXAN
A boy and his hero encounter-
ing the thrills and drama of the
war between the North and the
South has been taken as the theme
for ‘‘General Spanky”. which pre-
sents Spanky McFarland in his first
starring role in a feature-length
production, the eight-year-old Dal-
las boy ascends among the juvenile
screen celebrities in a picture that
is highly entertaining for grown-
ups and children.
Spanky Is an orphan shining
shoes for a livelihood on a Missis-
sippi River boat. He meets Phillips
Holmes who befriends him against
the villainy of Irving Plchel, The
war breaks out. Holmes becomes a
captain in the Southern forces;
Pichel a captain for the North.
Spanky, left behind with Ills tiny
slave, Billy Thomas, organizes an
army of kids with Carl Switzer as
the second general.
“General Spanky,” rated one of
the season's comedy hits, is the
attraction at the Texas Theatre
today.
"PIXILATED” PAIR GIVE
SIR E TO FILM AT RITZ
Who's “pixilated” now?
For some years now, Margaret
Seddon and. Margaret McWade,
elderly film actresses, thought they
were out of films and retired. Then
came Frank Capra, noted film
director, and cast them as "the
Pixilatei Sisters” in “Mr. Deeds
Goes to Town." They took Amer-
ica by storm. The term "pixilated"
became a by-word, and the pair
now rats as one, of best comedy
teams in films.
The cast also includes beautiful
Charlotte W.vnters, as the girl
Horton meant to marry with his
bonus money, Porter Hall, as a
villain of course, j. m. Kerrigan,
and Irving Bacon.

THE GAS THAT WILL BALANCE
MANY A BUDGET IN 1937-
ca^i
T TERE’S something new—a car that is lavish
IJ. with body room, luggage space, and style—
yet is a MISER on gas and oil!
Its 60 h.p. V-8 engine has the same design,
same quality of materials and precision manu-
facture which have made the 85 horsepower
Ford V-8 engine famous the world around.
Furthermore, this “Thrifty 60” Ford V-8 has
exactly the same roomy body as the more expen-
sive Ford, on the same 112" chassis!
And when you drive it-notice how smoothly
and quietly it accelerates 1 Not the equal of the
brilliant “85" in performance and top speed, of
course, but a real performer!
And when it comes to delivering more miles
per gallon of gas and quart of oil, this "Thrifty
611" stands alone in Ford history.
See this car today. It sets an entirely new stand-
ard of economy in modern motor car operation.
YOUR FORD DEALER

FOR TEXAS HIGHWAYS?
Texas' highways, to date, have cost
Texas taxpayers approximately seven
hundred and fifty millions of dollars.
License fees from motor vehicles have
contributed $202,000,000.
Gasoline taxes have accounted for
$176,000,000.
Federal aid has donated $91,000,000.
YOUR PROPERTY TAXES HAVE
CONTRIBUTED $281,000,000 - MORE
THAN ONE-THIRD OF THE TOTAL.
Large trucks—those weighing more
than 8000 pounds loaded—have paid a
total of $27,000,000 in license fees and
gasoline taxes, or 3H per cent of the
total cost.
Yet these trucks have been respon-
sible for an additional cost of construc-
tion and maintenance amounting to
approximately 50 per cent of the total—
an amount far in excess of their con-
tribution. These wider trucks result in
25 per cent increase in pavement costs.
Their bigger loads have required thicker
pavements, costing from 35 to 60 per
cent more; their size has made wider
and heavier bridges necessary; mainte-
nance costs hove increased through
their use and abuse of the highways.
Such extra expenditures are almost
solely for the benefit of the big trucks,
and are not necessary for the small
trucks and passenger cars. YET THEiil
COST IS BORNE BY THE OWNERS
OF PASSENGER CARS AND SMALL
TRUCKS AND BY THE GENERAL
TAXPAYER, WHO MAY NOT EVEN
OWN A CAR, WHILE THE BIG
TRUCKS THEMSELVES HAVE PAID
ONLY 33j PERCENT.
Any increase in present tract loads,
size or speed limits will further increase
the highway costs which all of us, the
people of Texas, must pay.
Texas railroads provide and maintoin their own rights-of-way;
afford employment to 60,000 men and women (who are also tax-
payers); pay large taxes in support of city, county, stote and federal
governments; and, in addition, pay annually more than $900,000
toward stote highway costs. The interest of the railroads in highwoy*
regulation is precisely parallel to that of the public.
