DIZZINESS
relieved by Black-Draught
“I decided to take Thedford’s
Black-Draught, as I had been hav-
ing bilious spells,” writes Mr. Chas.
E. Stevens, of Columbus, Ind. “When
I get bilious, I feel sleepy and tired
and do not feel like doing my work.
I get awfully dizzy. I know then
that I had better take something.
After I found how good Black-Draught
is, that is what I have used. I guess
It rids me of the bile, for I feel bet-
ter— don’t feel like I am dropping
off to sleep every time I sit down.
That, to me, is a very bad feeling.
Now you can get Blade-Draught in
the form of a 8YRUP, for Csildken,
PAROLES GIVEN TO 40 CONVICTS
(By Joe Howard, Lampasas
High School)
I. Introduction.
II. An example of what fire has
done.
III. Some principles to be observ-
ed.
IV. Conclusion.
In this fife prevention theme I shall
use an example which I am sure will
illustrate my points clearly.
There is a man of my acquaint-
ance who has suffered greatly from
lack of caution against fire. This
man, a much older person than my-
self, had worked very hard all of
his life, and after many years of
“pinching dollars,” had finally saved
enough money to buy himself and
family a modest little home to spend
the last years of their lives in; In
two or three years after the house
was completed, it was destroyed by
fire. The house, which took many
years of hard work to build, was de-
stroyed by fire in less than an hour.
The poor man is to he pitied, but
there are many such cases to think
of. Carelessness lies at the bottom
of the trouble nine out of every ten
times. It is hard to think that only
one little careless act can destroy
thousands of dollars worth of prop-
erty in only a very short time. The
man I spoke of neglected to insure
his property against such mishaps,
and that surely was a great error
on his part. If he was negligent
enough to overlook such a major
item, he surely must have overlooked
many smaller items. He might have
never thought of defective wiring,
defective flues, loose matches, accu-
mulated trash, and many others, any
of the above mentioned rfiight have
caused his loss.
The United States has a greater
loss caused by fire than any other
country. It is easy to say “prevent
fires,” but that does ^not stop them.
Until each individual takes to heart
the great work of fire prevention the
losses of the United States will re-
main highest.
I once saw a fire prevention placard
which bore the following slogan:
“Better be safe than sorry.” The
slogan was used in a most appro-
priate place. To be safe one should
see that the house wiring is perfect,
waste and trash is burned in wire
baskets, matches are kept in metal
containers with the top securely shut
when not in use, the chimney is
cleaned before each fall, and to in-
sure your property against mishaps
that can not be traced back to some
careless act. If these few cautions
are taken one will be safer, but if
they are overlooked someone- might
be very sorry.

BRADY.—Thirteen thousand tur-
keys in one group was the unusual
sight presented recently here, reviv-
ing recollections of the “turkey
trots” that were formerly held.
The birds were liberated on a tract
of several acres near the edge of
Brady and half a dozen men herded
them. A flock of 1,500 to 2,000 tur-
keys was culled out at a time and
several herdsmen drove them to the
dressing plant half a mile away.
As one flock was proceeding, some-
one shouted and instantly several
hundred birds took to the air. It
was two hours before all the missing-
turkeys had been found. Two birds,
in their haste to fly, struck a tele-
phone pole and were killed.
Turkeys are like sheep in that they
will follow a leader, even though a
twisted course is taken, herdsmen
say.
The annual “trots,” in which thous-
ands of birds made their way
through the business section of Bra-
dy, with great crowds of spectators,
have not been held for several years
as the growers , found that each tur-
key lost from two to five pounds
Brady gained nationwide fame be-
cause of the turkey trots.
The McCulloch County crop will
be about the same as a year ago, it
is estimated. Through Tuesday, 25
per cent of the birds of Concho, Ma-
son, Menard and McCulloch Counties
had been sold on the Thanksgiving
market, buyers computed. An even
higher percentage of the turkeys of
Burnet and Llano Counties has been
sold, they said.

PLEA TO FREE ALL
TEXAS LIQUOR LAW
VIOLATORS PLANNED
DALLAS, Nov. 17.—R- E. L. Knight
of Dallas, outspoken foe of prohibi-
tion, announced today his intention of
petitioning Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson,
governor-elect, to grant amnesty to
all persons held in the state peniten-
tiary for liquor law violations. He
termed such persons “political prison-
ers. ”
Knight will go to San Antonio for
a state-wide meeting of anti-prohi-
bitionists at which plans will be made
Saturday to fight the Dean law, state
prohibition enforcement act. He will
urge immediate modification of the
law to permit 4 per cent beer.
STATE ODD FELLOW
LEADER CONVICTED IN
BALLOT CASE
COMANCHE, Nov. 17.—A district
court jury today returned a verdict
of guilty against W. D. Carroll, grand
master-elect of the Odd Fellows of
Texas, on charges of miscalling bal-
lots in the county judge’s race dur-
ing the second democrattic primary.
Punishment was fixed by the jury
at two years in the state prison.
Carroll also is under indictment
charging miscalling of ballots in the
county tax collector’s race.
Carroll, who had assisted in hold-
ing elections for many years, claim-
ed he called ballots correctly and
charged the ballots had been chang-
ed or substituted since election.
ABILENE, Nov. 17.—Fort Worth
was chosen late Thursday as the 1933
meeting site of the Baptist general
convention of Texas. The date was
fixed for November 8 to 11.
Dr. W. W. Chancellor of Mineral
Wells was chosen to preach the con-
vention sermon.
Messengers from the Berry Street
Baptist Church of Fort Worth who
sought seats in the convention were
definitely turned away by unanimous
vote of the body today.
The Berry Street delegation was
refused recognition yesterday when
the convention opened under a consti-
tutional provision that only messen-
gers from “cooperating” churches be
permitted a voice in the affairs of
the church as directed by the annual
gathering.
Messengers from the church at
Happy, also denied representation for
the satne reason, did not carry their
request for acceptance to the floor.
Request of the Berry Street dele-
gation for recognition asked -that in
the event a “challenge” was made
“the matter be brought to the floor
for consideration.”
Motion Voted Unanimously.
The delegation was turned away,
however, without debate, a motion by
Dr. J. B. Tidwell of Waco that the
request be not considered having car-
ried unanimously.
Constitution Amended.
'The convention amended its consti-
tution to give it even more stringent
power in keeping from its member-
ship messengers who are not strict-
ly in accord with its purposes.
It was provided that “no messen-
ger presenting himself for member-
ship in this convention, known to the
secretaries of the convention to be
not in accord with the objects of this
convention, shall be seated except by
majority vote of this convention after
permanent organization.”
The clause amended heretofore em-
powered the convention to deny a
voice to churches not in accord, but
the new version permits the conven-
tion to remove an individual messen-
ger without disturbing the represen-
tation of a co-operating church.
TAX EXEMPTION ON
HOMESTEADS APPLIES
ONLY TO STATE TAXES
AUSTIN, Nov. 17.—Bruce Bryant,
first assistant attorney general, ruled
Thursday that the constitutional
amendment adopted at the Novem-
ber 8 election, exempting homesteads
from taxation up to $3000, applied
to state taxes only. The ruling was
given to the legislative tax survey
committee.
It had been advanced in some quar-
ters that the exemption would apply
to county, municipal and district
taxes.
