You, of all people, do not need to be told.
Your baby is robuse and rosy-cheeked be-
cause he gets plenty of Milk. He could not
possibly be as healthy without it.
It is just as important to be sure of the purity
and quality of your baby’s milk as it is to see
that he gets enough. So we say to you:
No matter where you buy your Milk, make
sure it comes from healthy, properly fed
cows and that every precaution is taken to
guarantee its purity until it reaches you.
If you buy Dietze’s Milk you are sure of that
quality and flavor that copies only through

ALAMO LUMBER
LEADING FIRM
Is Recognized As One Of
City’s Most Progressive
Business^.
Headed by Terry Newman, one of
Cuero’s most progressive citizens,
the Alamo Lumber Company of this
city in 1934 again played an im-
portant part in the growth and
progress of Cuero, and must be list-
ed as one of the Turkey Trot city’s
most active firms.
The Alamo Lumber company was
not only active in the construction
prpjects carried on in Cuero in 1934,
but is today taking a leading part
iii* bringing the National Housing
Act program to this city, and plans
to offer its services to Cuero home
owners who desire new homes or re-
novations to old homes during the
new year.
Newman has been named DeWitt
county chairman of the National
Housing Program, and is at the
present time doing every thing in
his pbwer to bring the benefits of
the program to this city.
“The Better Housing program of!
the Housing Administration has
taken hold on a much wider scale
than even those familiar writh the
repair and modernization market
had looked for,” Terry Newman de-
clared Monday.
“There is no reason why Cuero
should not take advantage of this
national program and secure a por-
tion cf the money which is to be
distributed among the trade chan-
nels of the* nation through this
great building program. One way to
end a depression is to put men back
to work and if there is any program
now underway that will do this
very thing, it is the national housing
program. Our company stands ready
to suggest to home owners the type
of renovations heeded, and to offer
any service possible to assist Cuero
citizens in taking advantage of this
act. All we ask is that you call on
us,” Newman concluded.
1934 ‘Cross ‘Ransus
Party Big Success
Christmas of 1934 saw the staging
of another most successful “Cress
the ’Ransus” party for the poor
children of the city, between four
and five hundred boys and girls at-
tending the event.
The party is annually made pos-
sible by the generosity of Cuero
i citizens, and is sponsored by The
Record.
Each child received fruit, candy
a toy and twenty five cents in cash
to spend as they desired.
REAL INDIA-RUBBER MAN
OSAKA. Japan, Dec.—(INS)—A 24
year old man who can dislocate
every joint in his body without feel-
ing pain is being studied by phy-
sicians. When he was 14 years old.
he found that he could dislocate his
fingers. So he practised on other
joints in his body. Now' he can turn
himself into a hunch back or so
flex his backbone that it can be
bent in any direction. He can. in
fact, “tie himself in knots-:—and
/ flap his ears as well as any animal.
