Cautions People
Against Rabies
AUSTIN, March 24. -Contrary
to popular belief, rabies is more
prevalent in winter than in the
ao-called days of summer.
In a statement released this
week by Dr. Goo. \N . Cox. State
Health Officer, it was disclosed
that in February the state lab-
oratory examined lb animal
brains for the presence of rubies,,
over thirty-seven per cent of}
which tested positive.

Sentinels

Don’t Neglect Them!
Nature designed the kidneys to do a
marvelous joh. Their task is to keep the
flowing blood stream free of an excess of
toxic impurities. The act of living—life
it«elf—is constantly producing waste
matter the kidneys must remove from
the blood if good heath is to endure.
When the kidneys fail to function as
Nature intended, there is retention of
waste that may cause body-wide dis-
tress. One may suffer nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puftinetui
under the eyes—feel tired, nervous, all
worn out.
Frequent, scanty or burning passages
are sometimes further evidence of kid-
ney or bladder disturbance.
The recognized and proper treatment
is a diuretic medicine to help the kidneys
get rid of excess poisonous body waste.

came famous as a short story
writer and humorist. The World’®
city editor was a slave-driver
and, one day when Cobb reported
for duty, the assistant city edi-
tor was in charge. “Where’s old
Simon Legree?’’ Cobb asked. The
assistant replied, “He’s sicik.”
Cobh said, ‘ Nothing trivial, I
hope.”
* * * • •
On one occasion, Cobb was as-
signed to write up a lecture to
be given by an Englishman noble-
man. The night was inclement
and Cobb and the lecturer were
the only ones who showed up.
Nevertheless, the duke went
ahead and delivered his speech in
full. Afterwards, he suggested to
the newspaperman, “You can
say that my address was heard
by a large and respectable audi-
ence.” When Cobb objected that
this might not be strictly accu-
rate, the nobleman looked at the
reporter’s portly form and said,
“You are large—and I am cer-
tainly respectable.”
And now it looks as though,
the Lieutenant Governor may be
planning to run for governor. A
few days ago, the Lieutenant
Governor made public a state-
ment. about permitting soldiers .
to vote and charged that Gover-j fx_a_;
nor Coke Stevenson was “violat-
ing both the letter and spirit of
the Constitution.”

One of the very Important functions of the American Red Cross Is the

The sight of a Model T chug-
ging down the street of a little
town the other day brought back
memories of the days when that
was the customary method of
transportation for millions—
and there c-ame to mind a few
of the countless jokes that were
made up about Henry’s product. I

the man who requested on his
death-bed that his Ford be bur-
ied with him "because it never
got in a hole that it couldn’t get
out of."
And then there were two ne-
groes who were shooting craps
and one said, ‘ Ford dem dice.”
The other asked, “What do you
mean—Ford dese dice?” The first
one replied, "Shake, rattle and
roll.”
Then there was one about a
man who wrote Mr. Ford a let-
ter:
“Dear sir, I read in the news-
paper that recently your factory
made a car in the record time of
four minutes.” The
manufacturer replied that the
news item was correct. The man
wrote back, “I got that car.”
Folks joked and laughed—but
they purchased Model T's by the
millions.

Red Cross field men brought fishing

In Africa, Red Cross field men

supply trucks, bumped in jeeps over
bombed convoy routes, through
blinding sand storms and glaring
sun to help men with personal
problems and emergency commu-

to isolated posts and bases.
In Italy, Red Cross field men ac-
companied the troops in on the in-

in India, a sergeant was sen-
tenced to the guard house for dis-
orderly conduct. His officer couldn't
understand the boy’s behaviour. He
was a nice kid —he’d uever gouo to
pieces before.
The officer asked the Red Cross
Field Director to see him. The tied
Cross man discovered a very wor-
ried boy. His wife had not been re-
ceiving his allotments, she wasn’t
well and needed an operation. She
thought the soldier must havo can-
celled his allotments and a misun-
derstanding nad arisen between
them so that she was no longer
writing him.
The field man got in touch with
the Red Cross chapter in the boy’s
home town immediately. It took
caro of her, financed her operation
and saw that she had adequate
funds to provide for herself until the
