rovement Board, said Wednes-
»y.

roponenls of the proposition ;

lieved It Wednesday, as he swore
at his luck. And the Justice was
convinced that woman Is apt to

35, former guard at the Houston

raigned In *86th District Court
here today before Judge W. C.
Davis to answer to a charge of
murder of Wiley Zeigler, a pris-
oner on the farm.
The case was transferred here
on a change of venue, because of
the widespread newspaper public-

ty. and the fact that It was made
an issue in a political campaign.
Zeigler, physicians determined up-
on an Inquest, died from a beating
given him at the farm.

LARGE TURNOVER
IN TREASURY
U. S. Busy With Liberty
Bond Redemption
By United Pre**
WASHINGTON, March 16.—
After an estimated $2,000,000,-
000 “turnover” In a single day,
the U. S. Treasury today con-
tinued Its profitable second Lib-
erty Loan redemption and Income
tax transactions In diminished
volume.
Treasury officials said they ex-
pected final tabulations of March
15 first-quarter payments on In-
come taxeB to show an aggregate
of $600,000,000 or more—$100,-
000,080 more than last year’s
March 15 receipts, and enough to j
insure a treasury surplus on July
1 considerably larger than the
$373,000,000 hitherto estimated— !
perhaps more than $500,000,000. j
Secretary Mellon reported that j
approximately one-third of the
$3,000,000,000 outstanding Liber-
ty bonds had been offered in rd- j
sponse to his exchange plan. The |
treasury Is taking up these 4 1-4
per cent ponds, which mature
next year with 3 1-2 per cent five-
year Govornment notes. This is- (
sue is the first of the big war and i
post-war lasuei to mature, and the
exchange will give the treasury
more time to meet It and cut
down the intereet rate paid by an
estimated $23,000,000 a year, If
the full Issue le exchanged.

CVERY time you clasp a friendly hand—
J-' every time you handle things others
have touched—money, door-knobs, ban-
isters, trolley straps, telephones—your hands
may come into contact with disease germs.
Of course, you can’t see them. But on
all these, and countless other unavoid-
able objects, germs may be lurking, waiting
to be picked up by your unsuspecting hands.
Listed below are 27 germ diseases that
health authorities say your hands may bring
into your home. Don’t take needless
chances. For safety’s sake use the purifying
toilet soap that removes germs, as well as dirt.
Benefits the complexion
Lifebuoy is so fine a soap
for the skin that millions
use It regularly for com-
plexion health alone. It
keeps the skin clear and
lovely-as smooth as satin.
Young and old alike
revel in its abundant,
invigorating lather—that
removes dirt so quickly—
that prevents perspiration
odor and keeps the body
fresh.
soap, Lifebuoy also safeguards health. Its
penetrating, antiseptic lather removes germs
along with dirt.
Millions love its hygienic scent
Lifebuoy is so different from other toi-
let and bath soaps that even its scent is
different.
Not a perfume, but a clean, pleasantly
hygienic scent which proves Lifebuoy gives
greater protection. Even before you’ve
finished your first cake, you’ll learn to love
this cleanest of all soap scents, which quickly
evaporates after rinsing.
Without its antiseptic, Lifebuoy would
still be a wonderful toilet soap —but it
wouldn’t give you the same measure of
protection.
Like millions of others, once you form
the Lifebuoy habit, you’ll wonder how any
other soap ever satisfied you.
