9 Children who are email for their age
or won't eat, often need more Vita-
mins B and G—these, you know, are
the growth-promoting and appetite-
building vitamins. Every quart of
Stillicipus supplies them to the equiva-
lent of three cakes of
yeast. What a delight-
ful way, mothers, to sup-
ply the vitalnourishment
of yeast. Many children
do not like yeast; others
tire of it when required
to eat it daily; still others
find it causes gas on the
ARNOLD’S BAKERY & GROCERY
stomach. But the yeast vitamins in
Stillicious do not affect its delicious
flavor. You don’t taste the yeast at
all—you wouldn’t know it was there
as far as flavor is concerned. In fact,
it’s just the most enjoyable chocolate
drink you ever tasted.
It is simply milk, fla-
vored with real choco-
late, enriched with yeast
vitamins B and Q. Try
it and listen to your kid-
dies praise it. It is the
perfect health - building
drink for all ages.

examined a copy of the rate, and find
it offers electric service at thp lowest
price ever available In this city or ter-
ritory,” he added.
C. P. nnd L.’s new full residential
service rate has been explained to me,
and I consider it the best news that's
happened in Palacios in Bomo time,"
Mayor J. L. Deutsch commented. "In
a time when most commodities are ad-
vancing in price, the opoprtunity to
buy electric service at lower cost is
most welcome.”
“I am sure the women of Palacios
appreciate the opportunity to buy
more electric sorvice for less money,”
stated Mrs. J. R. Wagner, when in-
formed of details of the new electric
rate. “Central Power and Light Com-
pany is to be complimented on taking
this step towards further electrifica-
tion of the home.”
"Palacios is sure to respond to the
now full residential service electric
rate by making greater use of electri-
city,” said F. A. Sisson, City Secre-
tary. “The public will certainly appre-
ciate anything in the form of a lower
price, and the new rate makes elec-
tricity available at the lowest cost to
date.”
Central Power and Light Company
realizes, Mr. Studeman declared, that |
the day will come when practically
everything in the home will be operat-1
ed by electricity. “Leading scientists,
architects, engineers, home economists,i
and home decorators are unanimous;
in predicting that the completely elec-
trified home is not far distant,” he i
said. “The Full Service Rate makesil
possible the modiernization of hun-
dreds of homes and the construction of
many new all-electric homes in South
and Southwest Texas, for full electric
service now costs little more than
moderate use formerly cost.”
While the power and light com-
pany’s present revenue does not justi-
fy reduction in rates, the new schedule
has been announced in the anticipa-
tion of greatly augmented use of elec-
tric service, Mr. Studeman explained.
“The history of C. P. and L. is,
that as consumption of electricity in-
creases, rates are reduced, and a wide
acceptance of the idea of greater use

Classroom teachers find lhat small-
er classes and more money is neces-
sary to meet new professional require-
ments. They challenge the Committee
on Classified and Accredited High
Schools to reinstate former insti ac-
tional standards. Dr. Lewis B. Cooper,
who made the investigation at the re-
quest of Mr. J. O, Loftin, President
if the State Teachers Association,
found that four-fifths of the teachers
»ffi ctcd were teaching in the element-
ary schools where salaries are gener-
ally lower than in high schools.
Regardless of criticisms of work of
the Committee the data show that 89
per cent of the representatives of
classroom teacher organizations and
90 per cent of the superintendents re
porting approved the December rul-
in adidtion to meeting fully the re-
quirements heretofore set up for a
four-year high school of the first

new positions with beginning teach-

tiro system of schools—including ele.
mentary schools, junior schools, and
senior high schools, who are grad-
uates of universities, colleges, or state
teachers colleges, with classroom as-
signments in their respective fields
of preparation. At the same time prin-
cipals and superintendents of such
schools hold at least the baccalaureate
degree from a reputable standard col-
lege or university, and shall have suc-

tional administration; provided, how-
ever, that principals and superintend-

OIL WELL NOTES
The well at LaWard, down between
5000 and 6000 feet, is at a standstill,
awaiting orders. But don’t ask us
what kind of orders. We have heard
several versions, however, that the or-
ders are to wait a short while before
bringing the well in.
At the well in the Menefee Flats on
the Toney land they are drilling away
at an interesting depth. They had a
little hard luck early last week when
they twisted off a drill stem. Now
they have backed up and drilled out to
one side and have reached the origin-
al depth, It is said that prospects are
very encouraging and within a few
more days there should be good news.
At least we hope so.
Sunday's state papers stated that
the two testa in Jackson County were
creating quite a bit of interest in ‘oil’
circles, aad that they were being close-
ly watched over the state.—Edna Her-
ald.
Men outnumber .women in Texas. Of
the 5,824,715 population of the state,
2.965,994 are males, 2,858,721 are fe-

The Gulf coast is the only boundary
of vast Texas that has not been dis-
puted at some time by th« adjoining

Clothes that are soiled and
full of dirty spots are what
the moths feast on.
As a rule they do not touch
clothes that are dry cleaned*
Think of the damage and
loss that the moth causes.
Compara this with the small
cost of having your clothes
dry cleaned.
It is real economy then to
have all your winter clethes
dry cleaned before hanging
them away in your closet un-

It will save you many a
