Final proof of personality is to make

you prefer another make.
CoiicJit is just a realization of how

The truly good man can forgive

Perhaps one reason so many mar-

RHEUMATISM
While in France with the American
Army I obtained a noted French pre-
scription for the treatment of Rheu-
matism and Neuritis. I have given
this to thousands with wonderful re-
sults. The prescription costs me noth-
ing. I ask nothing for it. I will mail
it if you will send me your address.
A postal will bring it. Write today,

Cities cannot deny the use of their
j streets to motor buses engaged in In-
tercity transportation nor can they
I adopt valid ordinances fixing one
' depot for such buses to stop for the
reception and discharge of passengers.
This was held in two eaues Wednesday
I by the Court of Civil Appeals, Third
| District, in affirming City of Ballinger
et al against Nichols eit al and Town
of Winters1 against Murphy eit. al, both j
from Runnels County-
The Ballinger ordinance described I
the streets forbidden to the motor;
buses, and was so extensive that the
court held it to amount to a denial
of the use of the streets of the city,
and that this cannot be legally done.
It was held that a town cannot deny
the use of all its streets to motor
buses passing through the place, but
can only indulge in a reasonable reg-
ulation.
QUESTION OF SKILL, NOT
LUCK IN FISHING
“He is a lucky angler” is a phrase
so generally used to apply to any per- [
son who has been fairly successful at j
fishing, the term “lucky” also being!
relative to the records already made |
as to the weights of fish taken. says !
the Catalina Islander. While of j
course there is no such thing*as luck
in fishing, this expression tends to be- j
little the skill shown by the angler,
and thoughtlessly detracts from anyj
credit due him- You either land your j
fish or loose it, and luck hast- absolutely j
nothing to do with it, and you really j
ea nnot feel very much flattered by j
such complimentary remarks when
you win. There is luck in fishing, yes.
but it is all on the part of the fish.
The angler has no part in Iiepling the \
fish decide whether or not to strike the
bait, although the angler’s knowledge
and skill in preparing and presenting •
the bait often does help; but this in j
no sense can be construed as luck, but |
rather cleverness on the angler's part. !
After the fish has taken the bait it .
has done its part and it remains for ’
you to finish. If you land the fish you
are to I>e congratulated for your skill-
ful handling, but somebne will always
be present to tell you how lucky you
are. On the other hand, consider the
angler who looses a fish; he receives
all the sympathy, and hard luck talk ;
from his friends instead of being tol d
that he lacked the skill required in
handling the fish. Sympathy is out of
place here, for the angler’s own good,
for it may have a tendency to cause
him to seek to shift the blame from
himself. He will be inclined to say
that the rod or line broke instead of
that he broke’the rod or line. An ang-
ler should be told his faults at the be-;
"Tinning. Sympathy may help to 1
smooth bis feelings, but it will not
cause improvement in his work. It is I
wholly up to the angler to rectify his |
mistakes and try to show more skill-j
where he failed before', and only by ;
correcting his past errors does he be- j
come expert; thus making his work
easier for himself and also a source of!
real pleasure in the future, j
than onedhird of the foreign commerce
of the United States. Texas plays an
important role in this foreign trade.
Texas ranks third in exports and
sixth in imports in volume of tonnage
handled by all the ports of the coun-
try. The total value of merchandise
exported through Texas ports in 1926
were in excess of $670,006,000, an
amount greater than the South’s total
exports in 1910. Through the Gal-
veston district alone in 1926 the value
of exports was $513,825,000, exceeding
by $17,000,000 the combined value
from all of the Pacific Coast ports.
With a railroad mileage of 5332 and
with modern highways the transpor-
tation facilities of Texas are keeping
pace with its general development.
Highway expenditures in the State in
1926 amounted to $35,659,000, which
is within $23,000,000 of the aggregate
highway expenditures of the entire
country in 1904.
But to attempt to catalogue the re-
sources of Texas or to make people
who have not been there grasp the
extent of its territory, the rapdity of
its development in education, in indus-
try, in agriculture, in commerce, in
population and in wealth would be al-
most a hopeless task.

body poisons to accumulate, a toxic
condition is created. One is apt to
feel dull, languid, tired and achy.
A nagging backache is sometimes a
symptom, with drowsy headaches
and dizzy spells. That the kidneys
are not functioning properly is often
shown by burning or scanty passage
of secretions. If you have reason to
suspect improper kidney function-
