Baptist Church
Sunday school 9:45; preaching at
11; subject, "Laying Foundations."
Night services: B. Y. P. U. 7; preach-
ing 8; subject, "What Does the |
Goodness of God Do for Us?" i
The pastor noticed last Sunday
night that several of the men in
the congregation came to church |
without their coat . This custom j
should be observed by all of the j
men. Because they do not wsari
their coats during the week days and |
should not be expec.ed to wear them)
on Sunday. Wo want the men to
come to our service: and come with-
out their coats if they desire to do
so. It is more sensible, comfortable,
and just as decent.
The minister is supposed to wear
his coat because he has so many
duties to perform where it is not
good taste or proper courtesy to
his profession and to the public at
large for him to leave his coat off.
So you men come in your shirt
■Iseves to church 11 nd know that the
pastor needs your sympathy while
he is trying to preach to you.
L. E. STRICKLAND. Pastor.
Mineral Wells. July 8.—Governor
R. S. Sterling announced here to-
night he would call a special ses-
sion of the Texas legislature this fall
to consider tax relief measures for
the state and the counties.
He said he would suomit meas-
ures designed to reduce the cost oi
state government and to relieve
counties of bonded indebtedness in-
curred for the construction of state
highways.
The statement follows:
"It is my Intention to call a spe-
citl session of the legislature in the
.a 1 for subr. h :ion of tax relief
measures to eliminate co*; in state
operation and to relieve counties
and read districts of their bonded
indebtedness voted in the past for
construction of state highways."
The statement was made to news-
paper men and others after the gov-
ernor had addressed the 56th cav-
alry. Texas national guard, in en-
campment here. Previously he had
delivered a campaign speech at
Graham.
| It was not unexpected. For sev-
eral weeks, on numerous occasions,
Governor Sterling had declared a
reduction in taxes was necessary and
had commended the state highway
commission for its new policy of al-
| lowing no further contributions from
counties in building highways.

ence Carter, who was acquitted of
murdering Hugh Mautfin several

Mrs. D. B. McMillan received
news from Dallas last night that
her son is out of danger and slowly
recovering from his wounds.
"Last November I weighed 192 lbs.
Today, (February 5th. 1932) I am
down to 168 lbs. and full of pep all
day long—since using Kruschen 1
have not had to use the laxative
Eiser, tlra.t was customary."—Theo. A. V.
LaFleur, Providence, R. I.
What do you think of this—you
men who doubt—you stay fat—be-
cause you want to think that nature
made you that way.
You’re all wrong—most fat men
were made fat because of their abil-
ity to handle a knife and fork in a
business like manner.
Be frank with yourself. Are you
too timid to take a safe, harmless
conditioner that not only takes off
surplus fat but is so helpful that it
makes you feel years younger?
To reduce safely take one-half tea-
spoonful of Kruschen in a glass of
hot water before breakfast every
morning—cut down on fatty meats,
potatoes and sweets. Kruschen is
sold by druggists the world over. A
jar that costs but a trifle will last
four weeks—but be sure you get
Kruschen—your health comes first.
