persons were dead today victims
w fire which trapped them as they
slept in their home.
The dead were Jim Tishner 45
geologist for the Arab Gasoline
corporation; his wife Helen. 25

which enveloped their home early
yesterday spread to nearby resi-
dences and prevented efforts at
rescue.
Neighbors said they saw the Tish-
ner baby standing at a window
crying but were helpless to aid.
Tishner leaped through a window
but died four hours later from
bums. His wife’s body was found
in the charred ruins of the bath-
room.
Mrs. Tishner’s parents. Mr. and
Mrs. Edward Barton fled from the
burning home in their nightcloth-
ing and were uninjured. Tishner
formerly worked in Cisco.
BREAD PRICES
HIKES OKEHED
WASHINGTON Aug. 14.—vP—
The average of a pound loaf of
white bread in 16 representative
cities rose about 1.4 cents from Feb-
ruary 15 to August 2.
But in making this report today
through the farm adjustment ad-
ministration Dr. Fred C. Howe
consumers’ counsel added:
“Considering the increases in
material costs the moderateness of
this advance in average price re-
flects the cooperative spirit with
which the bakers of these cities
have lived up to assurances given
Sec. Wallace by the president of
the American Bakers’ association
that they would do their best to
limit bread price advances to the
increase in ingredient and other
production costs.”
This compilation first of a series
intended to tell the public whether
it is paying exorbitant prices for
foodstuffs showed that the average
price cf the pound loaf in cities
named was 7.8 cents on August 2
and that in the period studied the
cost of ingredients in a pound loaf
had increased 1.3 cents.

Hay Fever
We never have recommended the
use of Salicon for Hay Fever in our
eircijlars and labels. Nevertheless
each season for years we have re-
ceived a number of letters from
persons who have tried Salicon for
Hay Fever who have been bene-
fited or relieved.
Some have suggested that we
should tell the public about this but
we have hesitated to do it because
we know of some cases where it has
been tried without giving any relief
whatever.
There is no known specific for
Hay Fever—each sufferer seems to
have his own method or means for
getting such relief as he can.
If you have Hay ever and have
found no relief—it might be wise
to try Salicon. It won’t hurt you
and judging from what some have
^ laid there is a possibility it may
help you.

—lagging appetite
There is a reasonable way to cor-
;ect this condition. Pause and rea-
son. You know that body weakness
is frequently the result of a weak
blood “picture"—lowering of the red-
blood-cells and their hemoglobin—
that are so very necessary to
strength and vitality.
Then why not try S.S.S.—the
proven tonic for decades? Its value
has been proved by extensive scien
tific research and by million* of hap-
py users.
Take S.S.S. and note the way your
strength and appetite are restored.
Two convenient sizes at all drug
stores—the larger size 1* more eco-
nomical. Don’t permit any one to
‘‘switch’* you in your determination
to restore your red-blood-cells
their hemoglobin content for regain-
ing strength. © Tht S.S.S. Co.
