When
TEETHING
makes HIM FUSSY
One of the most important things
you can do to make a teething baby
comfortable is to see that little
bowels do their work of carrying off
waste matter promptly and regular-
ly. For this nothing is better than
Castoria, a pure vegetable prepara-
tion specially made for babies and
children. Castoria acts so gently you
can give it to young infants to re-
lieve colic. Yet it is always effective,
for older children, too. Remember,
Castoria contains no harsh drugs,
no narcotics—is absolutely harmless.
When your baby is fretful with
teething or a food upset, give a
cleansing dose of Castoria. Be sure
you get genuine Castoria with the
name:

ant.

Climaxing the many hospitalities
that were shown them during their
stay in Galveston, seven naval cadets
of the German Cruiser “Karlsruhe,”
Messrs. Heinrich Bruns, August Hoep-
ner, Willi Stof singer, Gustav Adolf
Unglev, Richard Mayes, Fred Grelli-
naum and Willy Wochlke, were guests
of honor at a dance and buffet supper
given by Miss Mignon Huguet last
Saturday evening. Invited to meet
them were Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Katz-
mark, Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Huguet and
Misses Inez Dorsett, Peggy Dent, Ai-
leen Tennille, Cleo Yarbrough, Ione
Lowry and Rosemary Gwinn (of Gal-
veston).
The young hostess received her
guests in a black chiffon velvet gown.
Miss Tennille wore green taffeta, and
Miss Lowry in dark brown crepe
trimmed with a berthe of ecru lace.
Miss Dent was gowned in peach taf-
feta, Miss Yarbrough in vivid cerise
crepe and Miss Gwinn in leaf green
flat crepe.
Mrs. Katzmark wore satin of pale
eggshell shade and Mrs. Huguet’s
gown was, like her daughter’s, of
black chiffon velvet.
Interspersed with dancing, were sev-
eral games in addition to which the
cadets entertained the company with
songs in their native tongue. Each
one of the ladies present wore minia-
ture German flags—a charming ges-
ture.
Plesippus Shoshpensis
That’s the name of the new horse
at the National museum. He’s hailed
as the missing link in the evolution-
ary chain of the modern horse.
Many skeletal remains of this new
and long-sought species of fossil
steed have been discovered near Ha-
german, Idaho, by a Smithsonian in-
stitution field party. Scientists re-
gard the discovery as one of the
most important in vertebrate paleon-
tology in' recent years.—Pathfinder
Magazine.
Deviating from their usual custom
of meeting at a monthly luncheon, the
members of the Business and Profes-
sional Women’s Club will have an eve-
ning supper party at the Sawyer Tea
rooms next Monday evening.
There will be some out-of-town
guests present and some informal fea-
tures will form a program.
Members desiring to be present will
please communicate with President
LaVerne Hunt or Secretary Winifred
McGar as early as possible.

Feeling the need for, a short period
of religious devotion during the week
and with the desire to improve and
further their scriptural knowledge, a
group of women living in the West
End of town meet on Tuesday morning
of each week at 9 o’clock at the home
of one of them.
This week they met at the home of
Mrs. Ralph Strong the period being de-
voted to the study of the life of Jacob.
Next Tuesday the scene of the meet-
ing will be the home of Mrs. L. E.
Sealock, also in the West End.
Attendance is not at all limited to
residents of the West End. In fact, sev-
eral devout women from the north end
of town make a point of being present
on Tuesday morning and all are wel-
come. It is planned to study the en-
tire New Testament the book of Gene-
sis being under course of discussion at
the present time.

have heard business women declare “I
am ambitious to make this a banner

them direct their efforts along the
desired channels, hard work, stick-

We all know what sacrifices have
to be and have been made in order

One of Texas City’s most popular
young girls, who has on many occa-
sions delighted audiences with her
clever dancing, was honoree at a de-
lightful shower, given at the home of
Mrs. C. C. Chambers last Friday eve-
ning. Miss Griffin has just announced
her betrothal to Mr. George Hale of
Maybank, Texas, the wedding to take
place very shortly.
In the place of the traditional
bride’s colors, red, white and blue
streamers were used as decorations,
carrying out the prevailing George
Washington theme. Several appropri-
ate games were played. Dressed in
period costumes two lovely local
youngsters made a charming Martha
and George Washington, respectively.

World’s Motor Cycles
Germany now has the largest num-
ber of motor cycles in use, 721,237
being registered. This was a gain of
112,895 in a single year. Formerly
Great Britain led the world and was
known as the “home of the motor
cycle,” but the comparative number
for Great Britain now is 698,878.
Ninety per cent of the machines are
made in Germany. Some American
cycle are imported.
Miss Minnie Maud Harlow, who so
charmingly portrayed the character of
Mary Bennett in the play presented at
the City Auditorium, Monday night,

The attractive dresses of the grace-

“I haven’t the money,” or “I haven’t
the face, figure or foundation to work
with,” or “I just can’t fuss,” are only
shutting their eyes to their own pos-
sibilities. Lack of loveliness on their
part is due largely to laxness.
To be sure there are types and
types. There’s the short person who
wishes she were tall, the large-framed
lady who wishes she were petite, the
blond who envies the brunette and
the brownie who resorts to peroxide
bleachers. But there is sufficient love-
liness in every type. And to be the
perfect exponent of your type is truly
to “be beautiful.” For remember that
beauty today is not measured by the
straightness of one’s nose or the nat-
ural curl of the hair. Selfmade beau-
ty is what counts. Selfmade beauty is
nothing more nor less than perfect
grooming. And perfect grooming is
within reach of every woman.
The course is a simple one. Take
an inventory of yourself.
Ask yourself these questions:
Am I in good health? If not, see
your physician at once. If the an-
swer is yes, live sanely to preserve
this most precious possession.
There is little excuse for not know-
ing the health rules. And there is
even less excuse for not observing
them.

All day long London had been in
the grip of a dense, heavy fog. Street
lights had been ordered on by the
police before noon, and now night was
coming on. Danger lurked on every
hand, because “going” was difficult
even for the native.
Wm. D. Boyce, a Chicago publisher
and traveler, was seeking a difficult
address in old London. A boy ap-
proached him and asked, “May I be
of service to you?” Mr. Boyce told
him where he wanted to go and the
boy saluted and said, “Come with me,
sir, and he led him to the desired
spot. Mr. Boyce reached in his pocket
and offered the boy a shilling. The
boy promptly replied, “No, sir, I am a
Scout. Scouts do not accept tips for
courtesies.” The man in surprise mur-
mured, “What do you say?” The boy
repeated and then asked, “Don’t you
know about the Scouts?” Mr. Boyce
asked the boy to tell him about them.
The boy did, and added, “Their office
is very near, sir, I’ll be glad to show
you the way.”
Mr. Boyce had to complete his er-
land first. But the lad waited, how-
ever, and then led the man to the of-
fice of Sir Robert Baden-Powell
founder of the British Boy Scout As-
sociation, where information about
the scout movement was gladly given.
Mr. Boyce was tremendously impress-
ed, and gathering all available infor-
mation, brought it back to the United
States.
On February 8, of the next year,
Mr. Boyce and others interested in
boys and citizenship, incorporated the
Boy Scouts of America. This day is

A good story, a great cast, and plenty of entertainment.
How would you like to safely and
harmlessly lose 15 pounds of fat in a
month and at the same time increase
your energy and improve your health ?
How would you like to lose your
double chin and your too prominent
hips and abdomen and at the same
time make your skin so clean and clear
that it will compel admiration?
Get on the .scales today and see how
much you weigh—then get a bottle of
Kruschen Salts that costs next to
nothing and which will last you 4
weeks. Take one-half teaspoonful in a
glass of hot water in the morning—
cut down on pastry and fatty meats—
go light on potatoes, butter, cream
and sugar—and when you have fin-
ished the contents of this first bottle
weigh yourself again.
After that you’ll want to walk
around and say to your friends, “One
bottle of Kruschen Salts is worth one
hundred dollars of any fat person’s
money.”
But refuse imitations — safeguard
your health—you lose fat SAFELY
with Kruschen.
Leading druggists America over sell
Kruschen Salts—you can always get
it at the Old Corner Drug Store.

“Nerves” Undermine Health
and Beauty
A PHYSICIAN and nerve specialist
-- speaking: “Too many over-zeal-
ous, over-conscientious people in the
world we live in that’s the trouble.
Many men, but more women. They
love beauty more than their health, but
sacrifice both on the altar of over-ac-
tivity, or over-worry—whatever it is
it is over-much.”
The discussion put me on the qui
vive and in a single day I saw more
pictures of “nerves” than I had seen in
the preceding month. And every case
marked the truth of the learned doc-
tor’s verdict. ~
First we visited a large business or-
ganization. Huddled in a corner of
one of the offices was a young girl,
typing away faster than we ever heard
a human type, head lowered over her
work, eyes and fingers flying. Her de-
partment head whispered us a word
of commendation.
“A little wonder—simply in love
with her work — engrossed in it
from the minute she gets in until
the time she leaves, which is usu-
ally long past the regular hour.”
She was giving too much—that
young girl.
Without a “let up" a few months’
breathless, top-speed, long-houred
work-a-days would undermine her
health, her eyes would lose their spar-
kle, her hair its luster, her skin be-
come haggard. She may soon be re-
warded with a higher position and
more pay—then again she may fall
victim to “nerves” long before the re-
ward comes.
The next picture—luncheon with an
old acquaintance. A trick of fate and
fortune had suddenly plunged her into
the maelstrom of social activity. An
hour to herself was an “event.” “I look
a wreck, don’t I (and without waiting
for an answer) got to get more gin-
ger, can’t seem to keep step, feel tired
out. Think I’ll go hiking—that ought
to make me feel peppy, don’t you
think?”
“Think you ought to go to bed for
a week,” I put in. But the look of
surprise on her face seemed to say—
who ever heard of going to bed? It
took hard work on my part to con-
vince her to drop everything for a
week, go to bed, get complete rest and
relaxation, and when she once again
resumed her routine to have it modi-
fied—a great deal.
Too much of anything is—just too
much. And work and worry can route
health and beauty more quickly than
one imagines.
