CUMMINGS AND LOVING
SPOKE ON BOND ISSUE
AND REPEAL SATURDAY
The Hon. B. Y. Cummings and Mrs.
James A. Loving addressed a small
but enthusiastic gathering of citi-
zens from the east steps of the court-
house Saturday afternoon on the two
major questions to be voted on fn the
election next Saturday, August 26;
the repeal of the eighteenth amend-
ment and -the twenty million dollar
bond issue. Both speakers were in-
troduced by Roy L. Walker.
Mrs. Loving spoke first and con-
fined most of her remarks to the re-
peal of the eighteenth amendment.
She stressed the fact that President
Roosevelt had worked out a far reach-
ing and comprehensive plan to rid the.
United States of the depression, and
that this plan was made up of many
parts, such as the National Recovery
Act, the cotton and wheat acreage
reduction plan, the reforestation pro-
gram, the public works program and
the repeal of the eighteenth amend-
ment. She said that if Texans did
not vote for repeal they would in-
jure the whole plan of the president
for getting rid of the depression.
She quoted the old saying that “a
chain is only as strong as its weak-
est link” and stated that Texas sure-
ly didn’t want to be the weakest link
in the program to banish the depres-
sion.
Mr. Cummings spent most of his
time speaking for the bond issue. He
proved to be one of the most able
and forceful speakers the writer has
ever heard in Lampasas. He eulog-
ized President Roosevelt and told how
we had been provided with a great
leader to bring us out of this de-
pression. He stated that he believed
that President Roosevelt had during
his two years’ illness acquired the
wisdom, knowledge and foresight
necessary to make a great and just
leader for the people of the United
States. He stated that it was the
duty of every loyal citizen to help the
president in his endeavor to end the
depression.
Mr. Cummings stated that through-
out his many years in public life he
had always been opposed to bond is-
sues. He stated, however, that this
was no time to be thinking about
how the money was to be raised to
pay the bonds off, but that we should
be thinking of the hundreds of thou-
sands of people who are going hun-
gry and many of whom may starve
to death if the bond issue isn’t pass-
ed. He stated that there were 70,-
000 people in San Antonio alone who
couldn’t buy a cup of coffee for their
breakfast if it were not for the re-
lief funds. He pointed out what the
consequences would be if the issue
didn’t pass. He pointed out that it
might not take the full $20,000,000
for relief work but that the money
couldn’t be used for anything else,
so the bonds would only be issued
as needed. Mr. Cummings further
explained that under no circumstan-
ces would the bonds be paid for by
taxes on real estate but would be
raised through other forms of taxa- .
tion.

Underweight
Children
Need More Iron in Their
Blood!
Children who are thin and4 pale and
who lack appetite are usually suffering
from a deficiency of iron. When the
blood lacks iron it becomes thin and
poor and fails to nourish. Then a child
loses appetite and becomes still thinner
and weaker—and easy prey to disease!
To build up your child, give him
Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic. It contains
iron which makes for rich, red blood.
It also contains tasteless quinine which
tends to purify the blood. These two
effects make it an exceptional medicine
for young and old. A few days on Grove’s
Tasteless Chill Tonic will work wonders
in your child. It will sharpen his appetite,
improve his color and build up his pep
and energy and increase his resistance to
disease. Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic is
pleasant to take. Children like it and it’s
absolutely safe for them .^Contains noth-
ing harmful. All stores sell Grove’s Taste-
less Chill Tonic. Get a bottle today and
see how your child will benefit from it.

TASTES BETTER
loure always saying
Chesterfields taste better
© 1933, Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co.
I wish you’d tell me why
\yell, I’ve worked in tobacco; I’ve manu-
factured cigarettes . . . and I’ll tell you why
Chesterfields taste better.
For a cigarette to have a good taste, it
must have first the right kind of Domestic
tobacco. This means ripe, mellow, sweet
tobacco, filled with Southern sunshine.
Then, blended and cross-blended with this
tobacco there must be the right quantity
of the right kinds of aromatic Turkish to-
bacco . . . tobacco that has a pleasing
flavor and aroma.
Aroma, as you know, adds to the taste,
It’s just like the pleasing aroma from certain
foods. It’s appetizing. It makes the food taste
better. It makes the cigarette taste better.
Then again, for a cigarette to have a
good taste, it must be made right. The
size, the cigarette paper, everything about
it must be right.
Just try Chesterfields.
HITCH HIKER KILLED
ON ROAD NEAR CITY
NAVASOTA, Aug. 21.—An uniden-
tified young white man was killed on
the Houston highway about 18 miles
south of here Sunday morning.
A truck driver told officers that he
was hailed for a ride, and, while keep-
ing his eyes on the road ahead, slow-
ed down for the man to get in. When
the man did not appear immediately,
the truck driver looked back, and saw
the hitch hiker’s mangled body in the
i’oad. The man was unconscious and
died soon after reaching the hospital
here.
The body was held at the Lindley
Funeral Home here Sunday pending
identification. He was said to have
been between 20 and 25 years old, six
feet three inches tall, weighing about
165 pounds and having reddish brown
freckled skin.
The man was clad in a grey work
shirt, size 15; khaki trousers with
Boy Scout belt and buckle; grey socks
and brown golf shoes.
HEALTH HINTS
(From State Health Department)
Relapsing fever or tick fever . is
sometimes confused with malaria,
due to the similarity in the attacks
of these two diseases. Relapsing
fever is caused by a corkscrew shap-
ed organism that is introduced into
the blood by the bite of infected ticks,
lice or bedbugs. The State Labora-
tory is at present doing some research
work to determine with more exact-
ness the life cycle of insects and
ground animals in connection with
the organism causing this disease.
One hundred and six cases have been
reported in Texas.
Relapsing fever is characterized by
sudden onset, intense headache locat-
ed in the front part of the head and
pains in the back and limbs. The
fever lasts from three to five days,
then slowly declines. The tempera-
ture remains normal for about a week,
when the fever repeats itself. There
may be thi’ee, four or more such re-
lapses. One attack protects against
later attacks.
The prevention of relapsing fever
is based upon sanitation of living
quarters, personal and domestic
cleanliness and the avoidance of tick
and other insect bites. Suitable
clothing, worn so as to prevent ticks
from getting in underneath, is of
vast importance in the prevention of
tick bites. High bo'6ts, leggins and
putdes that are worn outside the
trouser leg are effective, but in spite
of their use ticks will crawl up the
outside of the clothing. When they
are found upon the neck they can
generally be removed before biting.
The insects may be removed with
the fingers, but a pair of small for-
ceps or tweezers is better. With
these instruments the tick can be
seized by the head, close to the skin,
and removed without danger of leav-
ing the head imbedded in the skin.
Care should be exercised against
crushing the tick as the contents of
the infected tick are dangerous. Af-
ter removing or handling the insects,
the hands should be carefully washed
with soap and water.

PAINTERS KEPT BUSY ON
DOOR OF UTAH DRY CHIEF
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 19—The
men who paint signs on the office
doors in the federal buildings here
have had a pretty steady job of late
around prohibition headquarters.
Shortly before July 1 they lettered
a door, “W. Wallace McBride, Dep-
uty Prohibition Administrator for
Utah.” A few days later they scrap-
ed off the sign and substituted the
name of Gernan S. Ellsworth.
A week rolled around and a new
name was put on the door: “Eph-
raim White.” Today the much-letter-
ed door got a new label: “U. L.
White.”
The latest Mr. White said he didn’t
know how long his name would re-
main on the door.
the night and had got into his auto-
mobile which was parked in the shad-
ow of some trees, when a man jump-
ed on the "running board and stuck a
gun in his ribs, warning him to keep
quiet or he would be killed.
Another man, also masked, got into
the car from the other side. Beck
was then blindfolded. One of the
kidnapers took the wheel and they
speeded away. Two miles north of
town the car stalled at a Missouri
Pacific railway crossing just as the
whistle of a fast express train was
heard. Frantic efforts of the kidnap-
ers to start the car were unavailing
so they jumped and ran. Beck pulled
the blindfold from his eyes, jumped
and rolled down an embankment as
the train struck the car.
The doctor was taken back to the
hospital by a passing motorist, where
it was found he had received cuts
and bruises, none of which is serious.
It is thought he will be able to leave
the hospital in a couple of days.
It’s a wise child that knows enough
to keep its face straight when, its fa-
ther is learning to ride a wheel.
If you need outdoor exereise arid
haven’t a wheel, just get out in the
street and try to dodge those who
have.
CONFESSIONS IN KID-
NAPING ARE REVEALED
_i)-
DALLAS, Aug. 20.—The govern-
ment held “several confessions” to-
day from suspects in the Charles F.
j Urschel kidnaping for -presentation
j Wednesday to a federal court grand
j jury in Oklahoma City, but guarded
i closely the names of those who had
made them for fear of reprisals.
Frank Blake, department of jus-
tice agent, who revealed confessions
had been made by at least some of
the five persons held in the Dallas
county jail, declined emphatically to
be more specific. Those held are R.
Gl Shannon, on whose farm near
Paradise, Texas, Urschel was held
until payment of a ransom reported
to^ have totaled $200,000; his wife,
proper time. It is our policy when a
statement is given to protect it; we
must on account of prospective wit-
nesses, and we do, even if it tears
the hide off.”
“Keeping these things in confidence
is essential to convince prospective
witnesses—whether co-defendants or
not—they will be protected against
reprisals.
Blake went on to say he believed
Albert Bates, suspect held in Denver,
had not “said anything,” and added
“I don’t think he will.”
W. B. Hensley returned Sunday
from a week’s visit with relatives in
Liberty Hill and Austin.

i VIDED IN AVIATION CODE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20—T h e
highest minimum rates of pay yet
proposed to the national recovery ad-
ministration were provided for today
in a code for the aviation industry on
which Administrator Hugh S. John-
son set hearings for Thursday.
