How A College Athlete
Keeps Himself Well
Bob pejitvo of Col-
1 gate claims that a
sensible method of
health has really made
life a pleasure for him.
Mr. Deming writes that
at first he could not be-
lieve this simple thing
was the cause of his
buoyant spirits. Finally
however he had to ad-
mit that it was Nujol
which was keeping him
well besides giving him
as he says “five times
the vitality.”
“Believe me” he says
“having free and regular
bodily elimination
makes all the difference
in the world to a diver
as well as to any other
athlete. I can’t afford to
be nervous sluggish or
depressed while diving.
It just isn’t done! I
would like to urge any
one whether they think
a.'L...._•_ « « ...
mey are m good health or not to
give Nujol a try-out. It certainly
can t do any harm and I’ll bet it
would make them feel a hundred per
cent better. It’s worth trying!'’
Mr. Deming hag just about told
ggprWVjjMf'*'
the whole story. He is
right in believing that
Nujol contains no drugs
no medicines of any
kind. It is tasteless and
colorless as pure water.
It is simply harmless in-
ternal lubrication which
your body needs as
much as any other
machine. Regularly as
clock work Nujol cleans
out of your body those
poisons which we all
have and which make
us low in our minds
tired headachy and
below par.
The way for you to
find out how much
better Nujol will make
you feel is to try it for
a few days. You can get
a bottle in a sealed
package at any drug
store. It costs only a
few cents but it makes '
vou feel like a million
dollars. Do you know how many
thousands of people keep themselves
well and happy just by using Nujol?
Why shouldn’t you feel well all the
time? You can! Get yourself a bottle
j>f_Nujol today!

EVIDENCE OF THE QUALITY
BUILT INTO THE FORD CAR
Brownsville Texas
March 17th 1930
Patteson Motor Co.
Brownsville Texas.
Gentlemen:
The Model A Fordor used by our office
✓
has now been driven over 52000 miles with
a total repair cost of less than $50.00. This
ear has been used over all kinds of roads
and must go regardless of the weather.
Therefore we appreciate the faithful serv-
ice it has rendered and expect to get many
more thousands of miles from it.
Our experience is that the Model A Ford
will operate—including depreciation re-
pairs gas oil and tires—for much less than
anything we have used which includes two
other light cars during the same period that
we have been using the Ford.
Yours truly
’(Signed) W. F. Brown
Sheriff

In Addition to the Built-in Quality Each
Model A Ford Is Equipped Without Extra
Cost With
Triplex shatter proof windshield glass—Hoo Dye
Double Action Shock Absorbers—Steel Spoke
Wheels—All-Steel Bodies and Rustless Steel

MOVIE
S10CU6HJS
ARCADIA—HARLINGEN
A stage play that has probably
enthralled more audiences than anv
drama of modern times Is the basis
of the latest sensation of the talk-
ing screen. “Madame X” which
opens a two day engagement at
the Harlingen Arcadia theatre to-
day with Ruth Chatterton celeb-
rated stage star as heroine and
directed by a stage celebrity of
equal note Lionel Barrymore. Bar-
rymore has introduced something '
new in talking screen technique and
the result is engrossing entertain-
ment minus the imperfections of
the earlier offerings of the audible
screen
Sarah Bernhardt created the role
In the first performance of the
famous drama in Paris. Todav
almost twenty years later the aud-
ible screen’s version combines
perfectly the technique of the silent
screen and the lore of the stage
is a greater triumph than the stage
drama In Paris.
“Madame X" started Its career
in the French language under the
title “La Femme X”. Bernhardt I
used it for a season as a starring
vehicle alternating it with L'Aig- i
Ion" and "Camille" and words of'
its success came across the At-
lantic to New York.
In 1910 Henry W. Savage had it
translated and brought it to New
York where it made its first ap-
pearance at the New Amsterdam
theater.
