County, with five projected on the

Brazes River watershed conserva-

Law Forms Book
Goes Into Fourth
Edition In Texas
AUSTIN, Texas March 26—'A
lawyer handling a Texas divorce
suit can't say simply that the hus-
bs>nd was cruel to his wife.
He must use a definite form de-
tailing such fact as—for example
"broke plaintiff's nose with u
heavy stick, pulled chair from un-
e'er her and threw her violently
upon the hearth and dragged her
arross the floor under circumstan-
ces which showed an utter disre-
gard of plaintiff's health if not
:.f her life."
This form for divorce papefs
ard 2,000 additional forms are in-
cluded in the 3,000 page fourth
edition of "Annotated Texas
Forms" by Robert W. Stayton,
University of Texas law professor
for 22 years and leading authori-
ty on Texas procedure. The book
was written with the assistance
i f some 25 Texas judges and law-
yt rs.
The revised edition, just off the
press, is in three volumes and
conforms to the new rules, statut-
es and lute decisions. It is dedicat-
ed to W. B. Hopkins of Corpus
Oristi "who as county and dis-
trict judge for over 50 years serv-
<d his State with culm efficiency
ard with courage and honor."
Judge Hopkins was admitted to
the Texas Bar in 1887, served as

AUSTIN, Texas, Murch 25—=
Kcgents of the University of Tex-
as will inspect the Texas Medical
Center und University Institutions
in Hoiiston April 1.
The visit will precede a two-day
neeting of the regents to be held
April 2 and 3 at the medical
branch in Galveston.
Center of the bourd's interest in
Houston will be the $100,000,0(10
Texas Medical Center. New build
ings for the M. D. Anderson Hos-
pital for Cancer Research, a uni-
versity - administered institution,
and for the university dental
school are to be constructed within
the center which eventually will
house a university school of pub-
lic health and preceptorial train-
ing center.
Plans for the first two units are
bung prepared by Mackie & Kam-
ruth, Houston architects. Both the
cancer hospital and dental school
r.ow occupy temporary buildings
in Houston.
Building sites were given by the
center. The M. D. Anderson Foun-
uation of Houston has offered $2,-
500,000 toward the two units. A-
bout $336,000 from the Rosalie B.
Kite endowment have been assign-
ed to the cancer hospital.
A Houston Chamber of Cornmer
ce campaign brought in pledges
and payments totaling approxi-
mately $900,000. All these, along
with legislative appropriations and
assets in the temporary cancer hos
pital and dental schools total more
than five million dollars. The bo-
ard of regents and the university
development board are seeking
fctill more monipy, which will be
needed even if the government
would offer funds toward the cost
of building the new cancer hospit-
al. The original estimate for the
four institutions, made before war
time increase in costs was $6,250,-
000.

Hon. W. J. Matthews, Father
Of Good Roads And Schpol
Laws Thanks Noted Medicine
i For Regained Strength And
Yells About His Own Case.
Happily praising Retonga for
his regained strength, Hon. W. J.
Matthews, of Algood, Tenn., de-
clares the famous medicine was
"a godsend" in his case. Mr. Mat-
thews served many years in both
the House and Senate of Tennes-
see from Overton, Clay, Pickett,
Fentress, and Putnam Counties.
He is author of many progressive
Pleasures, including the good
roads system and Tennesee Poly-
technic School in Cookeville. For
thirty-two years he was a merch-
ant and druggist at Algood.
.."Until a year ago I enjoyed
solendid health." states Mr. Mat-
thews, "Then I began to have lots
of gas pains and acid indigestion.
It got so I scarcely wanted to eat
anything at allv I felt miserably
weakened and run-down, I could
not get a good nights sleep, and
I had to rely largely on strong
laxatives for elimination. My
weight dropped from ISO lbs. to
135 pounds and I became alarmed.
.. "Being a druggist I knew the
ingredients of Retonga are good,
and the relief it brought me was
a godsend. I enjoy my meals now
with no more worry about what
to eat to avoid indigestion. I
sleep rest fully. I do not have to
depend on harsh laxatives, and my
weight is back to normal 158
pounds. I feel good all the time
and enjoy looking after my three
farms and other interests. I shall
be glad to tell anyone what Re-
tonga did for me."
Probably no man in Tennessee
enjoys a wider friendship or
greater respect than Mr. Mat-
ar .Hc.Hanans urug Store—Adv.
