•\ San Angelo news report tells
of an actress who came there to see
her sick four-year old boy, arranged
for his funeral, kissed him good-bye
and went to join her company and
fill her engagement. There was some-
thing in the news report of commen-
dation for the actress’ action in tear-
ing herself away from her dying boy
in response to her business obliga-
tion. I’m old fashioned enough to feel
that her highest duty was to the -mf-
fering child. Perhaps she could have
done nothing to alleviate hr, pain ot
to stay his death, hut it if a strange
conception of motnerhood that would
separate any mother from her own
child at such a time, even though to
stay with him might mean the sacri-
fice of a life work.—Honey Grove

FOOTBALL SCHOLARSHIP
Coaoh Paul Tyson, of Waco, is not
one who believes that because a boy
has a strong back he must necessarily
have a weak head. Upon our solicita-
tion, he has furnished us with the
grades made by the members of his
football teams of 1921, 1922, and 1923.
Although he warns us in his letter
not to make any public use of the
“personal references” we are taking
an editor’s privilege of at least nam-
ing the source of our information.
The record of the high school shows
that the individuals composing the
team of 1921 took four subjects each
the preceding year, and earned ox
emption by making an average of
ninety, as follows: two in four sub-
jects, three in three subjects, two in
two subjects, five in one subject, and
four made no exemption. At the close
of the football season of 1921, that is,
December 23 of this year, the team is
credited with exemptions as follows:
five in four subjects, one in three sub-
jects, three in two subjects, three in
one subject, and five made no exemp-
tions. It is stated that two of the
five boys who failed to make exemp-
tions were boys who hail just moved
to Waco.
The team of 1922, which was a
stale championship team, made ex-
emptions on the same basis, as fol-
lows: one in five, five in four, five in
WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITIES
The “want” columns of the large
daily papers are filled with calls from
Banks, Wholesale Houses, Lumber
Offices, Oil Companies and other
business concerns for trained young
people to fill positions as Bookkeep-
ers, Stenographers, Secretaries, etc.
Your big opportunity is before you
this minute.
Business is the greatest profession
of modern times. Regardless of the
line of work in which you may later
engage, you will always have business
dealings with your fellowman. As a
doctor, lawyer, or dentist, or a mem-
ber of any profession, you must un-
derstand the laws of business so that
von can invest your savings wisely
and carry on your transactions in a
business like manner. A commercial
training, therefore, is of vital neces-
sity to you, for you will be in daily
contact with the men who manage
the destines of the business and the
confidential correspondence will pass
through your hands. You will, by at-
tending our great school, secure an
insight of knowledge of business in a
short time that would otherwise take
years to obtain.
When a vacancy occurs, you will be
in a direct line of promotion, and
when you are promoted to a more
important position, a young person
fresh from our well organized and
modernly equipped institution will
take your place. This is why a com-
mercial training is called the ‘step-
ping stone tu success.” It places you
on the first round of the ladder of
opportunity and prepares you for the
climb to the top.
You will do what is best for you
and get your training where the

FOUR GENERATIONS
Texas Lady Says Her Family
Has Been Taking Thedford’s
Black-Draught, When
Needed, for Many Years.
Alto, Texas.—"We inherited the use
of Mack-Draught fat our family,” says
Mrs. Mary Shuptrine, who lives near
here on R. F. D. 2. "My grandmother
was an old woman when she died
about ten years ago, and she had been
using it literally ever since I can re-
member. She gave it to her children
and grandchildren for biliousness and
stomach complaints, so when I went
to housekeeping we just naturally used
it, too.
“I give it to my children for a
purgative whenever they need one,
and we are never without it. Made
into tea, it surely is fine. It’s the best
home remedy for headache and consti-
pation I know of.”
During over 80 years of its con-
tinued popularity, Black-Draught has
become the standard liver medicine in
many thousands of homes, where it
has been found of great benefit in the
treatment of constipation, biliousness,
indigestion and other common liver,
stomach and bowel complaints. Ten
million packages of Black-Draught are
’ now sold a year, as more and more
people are learning of the value of
this well-known remedy.

' Black-Draught powdered liver
