Enjoyed Reunion
Lake Arthur, N. M
Dear Mark and Family:
We Just want to express our ap-
preciation to you, your family and
all others who contributed to tire
making of the Old Settlers' Reun-
ion such a "howling" success.
We enjoyed our stay in Big Lake
and we enjoyed especially our vis-
it with the old-timers who remain,
but still, those "vacant chairs"
left a sadness in our hearts.
Tlie entire Lane delegation is
making plans now for the cele-
bration to be held next year
If any of you happen to be in
this part of the country, don’t for-
get to stop and see us.
Sincerely.
Mr. and Mrs. A. G. lane.
Margaret and Alma.

J M Orrenwood is transacting
business in Fort Stockton today.
Mrs Ralph Harris is saleslady
at the Charles Winkler Store
Austin, July 19.—"It will not be
many weeks until a large num-
ber of Texans will be sneezing,
wheezing and in other ways evi-
dencing that they are victims of
so-ralled hay fever Many of
these persons .cither because of
ignorance or carelessness, will en-
dure their affliction, bolstered on-
ly by the distant hope of the "Fall
frost” which will mark the end
of their ordeal for this year On
the face of it, these allergies have
a rather hard row to hoe. Howev
er. for many of them, this situa-
tion could be altered most favora-
bly,’’ prophesies the Texas State
Health Department.
"Indeed, science has developed
a successful method of combating
many forms of this seasonal af-
fliction. For persons who possess
this unusual sensitiveness to the
pollens of certain plants, weeds,
grasses and trees serums have been
| developed to counteract it
“Before this type of treatment
j can be effective jt is essential that
' the particular pollen causing the
disturbance be discovered Guess
| work plays no part In this lnves-
| tigation. The physician will make
simple and painless tests with ex-
tracts of pollens that are suspected
of causing tile trouble By way of
needle prick a minute portion of
each of the pollens under suspic-
ion is placed under the skin And
that extract which generates a
.slight local reaction points to the
offender Inoculation of that tyi**-
| of serum then is administered
The potency of this treatment
depends upon its use prior to the
pollen season. Immunity must be
established early Bodily reactions
to this tyjie of therapy are slow
In fact several months, involving
several treatments at Intervals, are
required.
While this preventive Is not ef-
fective in all cases, the percentage
of successes has been sufficiently
high for every hay fever sufferer
to Rive a fair chance. In some pa-
tients, the result while not totally
satisfactory, has noticeably reduc
ikI the suffering.
Also recommended for dimunl-
tion of suffering Is cutting of rag-
weeds from locales where hay-fev-
er sufferers frequent Vacant lots
are a potent source of the ragweed
and should lx* included In preven-
; tlve measures against the disease

Barnhart had one victory and one
