COULD BEAT HANDS
SHUCKING HIS CORN
At Least J. A. White Would Bet
So After Being Relieved of
Dyspepsia by Tanlac
“My wife and myself have had
stomach trouble,” says Mr. J. A.
White, residing on the Leestown
Pike, R. F. D. No. 6. near Lexing-
ton, Ky., “and have both been
nervous and run down.”
“We could not eat anything
without suffering afterwards
and could not sleep at night. We
were regular nervous dyspeptics.
We tried many remedies without
permanent benefit until we
heard of Tanlac. I got this
medicine and began using it. We
noticed immediate results. We
are both greatly improved by
Tanlac. We give all credit for
the change of health to Tanlac.
It is a remarkable medicine.
“I personally feel so good that
I told my hands a day or two ago
that I could beat any of them
shucking corn. I meant it and I
believe I could have beat them
all.”
Of ail maladies that afflict hu-
manity chronic dyspepsia, such
as Mr. and Mrs. White suffered
from, is probably the most prev-
alent and hours might be con-
sumed in describing the suffer-
ings, mental and bodily, of the
victims of chronic dyspepsia.
A morbid, unreal, whimsical
and melancholy condition of the
mind, aside from the nervous
physical sufferings, is the usual
state of the average dyspeptic
and life seems scarcely worth
the living.
Tanlac, the celebrated medi-
cine, was designed especially for
overcoming this distressing con-
dition and millions of people have
taken it with the most astonish
ing and gratifying results. It
seems to go straight to the spot,
toning up and invigorating every
organ of the body.
Tanlac is sold in Fort Stock-
ton by the Stockton Pharmacy.

THIS TEXAS PUMPKIN
Gustine, Texas, July 21.—Gus-

pumpkin community of the state.
The Cash Store has on display a
1921 pumpkin raised by Fritz
Stegemoller of the Indian Gap
community that weighed in its
green state 96 pounds and meas-

and two feet in diameter.
Everything for QUALITY
—nothing for show
npHAT’S OUR IDEA in making
A CAMELS—tjie Quality Cigarette.
Why, just buy Camels and look at the package!
It’s the best packing science has devised to keep
cigarettes fresh and full flavored for your taste.
Heavy paper outside—secure foil wrapping inside
and the revenue stamp over the end to seal the pack-
age and keep it air-tight
And note this! There’s nothing flashy about the
Camel package. No extra wrappings that do not
improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense
that must come out of the quality of the tobacco.
Camels wonderful and exclusive Quality wins on
merit alone.
Because, men smoke Camels who want the
taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly
blended. Men smoke Camels for Camels smooth,
refreshing mildness and their freedom from ciga-
retty aftertaste.
Camels are made for men who think for them-
selves.

PECOS COUNTY OIL FIELD LOOKING BETTER EVERY DAY
I have just returned from a ten days trip to Pecos County, and while there I made another thorough
survey of that field, with my geologists, and made locations for my three wells.
I also consummated a contract with Dave Humphrey, an old, experienced drilling contractor, and a
man who has been very successful in the Pecos County oil field. I made a contract with this man to
drill my three wells, and to commence drilling operations on Luse No. 1 immediately. This well will
be drilled on Section 53, Block 101, T. C. Ry. survey about twenty miles Southeast of Fort Stockton.
This location is on a magnificent structure. Old, experienced oil men in that field, geologists and peo-
ple who are supposed to know, advise me that I could not find a better location, and that my chances to
secure big production there are excellent.
bear in mind that the people
who buy these leases, will share
equally in seven-eighths of the
production from my three wells,
without any additional cost to
them. I will give you contract
for your part of the production,
and look after same for you.
1 have complete abstracts
and my titles are perfect. We
absolutely guarantee that the
titles will never be questioned.
This is the greatest oppor-
tunity ever offered you to make
some big money on a small in-
vestment.
If you are a live agent or
salesman, 1 have a proposition
for you that will surpass any
proposition that you have ever
been offered, where you can
make some big money; so get
in touch with me at once.
My leases run front 20 to 30 years; have the very best locations to be had, with small rentals. Can
furnish you with the latest maps, showing locations of my leases, also location of drilling and producing
wells, and send you literature, pictures and complete drilling reports on F'ecos County oil fields.
This is not a speculation; but a real investment. If you wish to make some money in the oil game,
get in touch with us at once.

closed my deal with the drilling
contractor, his men were mov-

outfit to the location, and mak-
ing every prepa ration to spud

My instructions to my drill-
ing contractor, who is there on
the ground permanently, are to
push drilling operations as fast
as possible, and exert every ef-
fort to complete the well and
secure big production at. the
earliest possible date.
We will start the drilling of
the other two wells ns soon as
possible.
Orders are pouring into

SNAKE-BITTEN
MAN SAVED BY
SPANISH DAGGER
Eagle Pass, Texas, July 20.—
While inspecting oil lands north-
west of here yesterday, Joseph
P. Harrington of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
coal and oil operator, was bit-
ten by a rattlesnake, but his life
was saved by the prompt punc-
turing of holes with Spanish bay-
onet points around the wound
made in the calf of his leg by the
fangs of the snake.
The Spanish bayont species of
cactus growth, .ommon in all
range and mountainous countries
of south Texas, carries a poison
long known to cattlemen and
sheepmen as an effective anti-
dote against the poison of the
rattler.
C. A. Butler, a well known cat-
tleman, in company with Har-
rington, made the successful ap-
plication yesterday. They were
20 miles from medical aid at the
time. Harrington was today
practically recovered from the
ill effect of the bite and its treat-
ment.
CONVICTED OF CRUELLY
BEATING A SMALL CHILD
Buster Russell must spend the
next year in confinement in the
Tom Green county jail and pay
a fine of $500, the sentence im-
posed upon conviction by a jury
recently on a charge of aggravat-
ed assault in connection with the
cruel beatings accorded his wife’s
3-year-old daughter. This was
the decision reached Friday
morning by Judge Charles T.
Paul, county judge, when he
overruled a motion for a new
trial filed by Russell’s attorney.
Ruasell, through his attorney,
W. E. Taylor, asked for a new
trial on the ground that he is a
tubercular patient and that sev-
eral important defense witnesses
were not allowed to testify at
the trial. Mre. Ruby Russell,
mother of the mistreated child,
entered a plea of guilty to the
same charge Thursday and was
sentenced to the same punish-
ment as that imposed upon her
husband.—San Angela Standard.
Austin, Texas, July 26.—With
the view of determining the oil
possibilities of the University of
Texas lands in Culberson county,
Dr. J. W. Beede and Prof. W. S.
Adkins of the bureau of econom-
ic geology of the University,
have recently been making a sur-
vey of these lands. Although
they have made no statement as
to the result of their investiga-
tions, it was learned from an-
other source that in some re-
spects their forthcoming report
will be favorable as to the ex-
istence of oil in paying quanti-
ties, at least upon some portions
