I schools have become exhausted, ac-
, carding to a ruling today by S..M. N.
Marrs, state superintendent of public

■ tion. The tuition begins at the ex-
I piration of the period during which
[the school is supported by state and
county funds which in Austin is three

By Contoil O. Brown,
Catarrh is so prevalent through-
out America that many of us
• OSS* •
have, or have had the impression
that it is a necessary evil due to
our climate. This impression is
wrong, and the cause of much
needless suffering.

The manufacturer of gasoline who
sills to the jobber In intrastate com-
nu-rce is not exempt from the lc per
fallen gasoline tax levied by the act
of the Thirty-Eighth Legislature, the
Attorney General’s Department ruled
in au opinion to the State Comptrol-
ler.
Usually starting with a “cold” there
is a thin watery discharge from the
nostrils. This gradually thickens and
it becomes difficult to keep the nasal
passage open. At night it is almost
impossible to breathe through the
nostrils, and mouth breathing, which
is dangerous because the air reaches
the lungs without being properly heat-
ed and filtered of dust, is necessary.
This results in irritation of the bron-
chial passages, and further discomfort.
Then, if one has permitted the an-
noyance to reach this stage, is when
it is well to know that my chiropractic
health method corrects the cause and
removes the result.

“From childhood I was troubled with
Catarrh of the nose and throat, which
gradually became worse. Many patent
cattarrh balms and medical prescrip-
tions were tried without results. My
friends assured me that almost every-
one suffered from Catarrh, due to the
climate, and a cure was impossible. I
have since learned how far from the
truth they were. Chiropractic adjust-
ments have worked wonders for me
and made me feeNike a new person.”

When a stranger steps off the\
train in a strange community the
very first thing catches his view is the
condition of the streets and allies. If
you want strangers to think that we
have the cleanest little city in the
state we should practice the plan of
keeping our streets and allies in tha
best of condition at all times.
