Silver Plaque In Memory Of Keith Ewing
Is Placed In The High School Gymnasium
A plaque in memory of Keith
.Ewing, who died during a basket
ball game in Edinburg this winter,
has been presented to the school by
the “M” Club, and is now hanging
in the hall of the gymnasium. Funds
to purchase this plaque were derived
from a football game between class-
es in the high school week before
last.
The plaque is in the shape of a
shield, with a silver inlay mounted
on a black base. The inscription
which reads:’ “Presented by M. Club
in Memory of Texas Keith Ewing
Who Died In Action February 16,
1933;” is outlined by a wreath,
slightly raised.
Much interest was shown by stu-
dents and citizens in the football
game, and football coaches through-
out the Valley offered their services
free of charge as referees in the
game. Keith was an outstanding
athlete of Mercedes High School,
and was captain of the basket ball
team at the time of his death. He
had been a member for several
years, of the “M” Association, which
is composed of high school letter-
men.
State Health Dept.
Urges Protection
FromTy phoid
Campers and Vacationists
Should Be Vaccinated
Now For Safety’s Sake.
The following statement comes
from the Texas state department of
health at Austin:
As the summer season approaches,
a word of warning is timely to pros-
pective campers, Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts, summer vacationists, fisher-
men, and others who enjoy getting
out into the open, relative to the
possible dangers that may be en-
countered from the standpoint of
contracting infection under the
changed environment. This is es-
pecially true of diseases that may
be transmitted through food and
water supplies.
Typhoid fever is a disease the
amount of which is greatest, as a
rule, where there is the least sanita-
tion. It is an unnecessary and pre-
ventable disease. It is spread from
person to person by water, milk, fin-
gers, flies, and food. Every case is
contracted by taking into the mouth
some substance contaminated with
typhoid organisms, and these occur
only in nature in the bowel and blad-
der discharges of persons sick with
typhoid or from carriers, persons
who have had typhoid and who after
recovery still harbor the germs in
their systems.
Persons planning a vacation or
trip where sanitation may not be
rigidly enforced or where food
handlers are not regularly examined
should protect themselves against
this disease by being vaccinated.
Three inoculations with typhoid
vaccine, a week apart, are necessary
to secure protection against this dis-
ease and the immunity established is
good for tw oyears. The purity of
water or milk cannot be judged by
looking at it. Play safe and have
your doctor protect you.

Interesting Lesson
For Scientist Church
Announced For June 4
“God the Only Cause and Cre-
ator” will be the subject of the les-
son-sermon in the Church of Christ,
Scientist, Sunday, June 4.
The Golden Text is from Revela-
tion 15: “Great and marvellous are
thy works, Lord God Almighty; just
and true are thy ways, thou King of
saints.”
Among the passages to be read
from the Bible will be the following
from Malachi 2: “Have we not all
one father? hath not one God cre-
ated us? why do we deal treacher-
ously every man against his brother,
by profaning the covenant of our
fathers?"
The lesson-sermon will also in-
clude from the Christian Science
textbook by Mary Baker Eddy, “Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures,” citations, one of which
will be as follows (p. 262); “Divine
Mind is the only cause or principle
of existence. Cause does not exist
in matter, in mortal mind, or in
physical forms. Mortals are egotists.
They believe themselves to be inde-
pendent workers, personal authors
and even privileged originators of
something which Deity would not or
could not create. The creations of
mortal mind are material. Immortal
spiritual man alone represents the
truth of creation.”

LOST 40 POUNDS
ON DOCTOR’S ADVICE
“I’m a user of Kruschen Salts as
a reducing remedy and can say they
are fine. Have lost more than 40
lbs. in the past year. Am gradually
reducing as my doctor advises.”
Miss Bertha Waldo, Haman, N. Dak.
(Oct. 30, ’32).
Once a day take Kruschen Salts—
one half teaspoonful in a glass of hot
water first thing every morning.
Besides losing ugly fat SAFELY
you’ll gain in health and physical at-
tractiveness—constipation, gas and
acidity will cease to bother—you'll
feel younger—more active—full of
ambition — clear skin — sparkling
eyes.
A jar that lasts 4 weeks costs but
a trifle at any drugstore in the
world—but demand and get Krus-
chen and if one bottle doesn’t joy-
fully please you—money back.—Adv.

was one of the high school seniors
who received his diploma Tuesday
night at the commencement exercis-
es. Fillmore was born August 27,
1915 in Chicago, Illinois. He came
to Mercedes in 1930 as a sophomore.
Fillmore has always had a high
scholastic standing. He made the
honor roll in junior high school in
Chicago. Fillmore has been a mem-
ber of the Hub Club, boy’s honor
society, during his high school career
here.
His greatest interests in school
have been in his studies and especi-
ally in physics and geometry, at
which he is particularly adept. He
has no definite plans at the present
for his schooling next year. ~
PHILIP LENTZ
Philip Martin Lentz, who received
his diploma Tuesday evening at the
graduation exercises for senior high
school, was born February 28, 1915,
in Independence, Missouri. His pa-
rents are Mr. and Mrs. Fleet Lentz.
He lived in Independence until he
was one year old, when he moved
with his parents to McAllen, and
two years later moved to Mercedes.
He entered school at South Palm
Garden School when seven years
old, and finished there in 1928.
Entering junior high school here
the next year, he took an interest
in athletics, and lettered one year
in junior football, and two in junior
track.
When a sophomore in senior high
school, he lettered two years in
senior football and one in senior
track.
It was while in training for entry
in the 100-yard dash event in his
junior year that he seriously injur-
ed his back, and since then has been
unable to take part in any athletic
activities, although he is still inter-
ested in them.
Philip was president of his junior
class and was sports editor on the
Tiger, high school newspaper, last
year. He has been a member of
the “M” Association, lettermen’s
club, all during his high school
career, and has been a member of

His junior high school career was
marked with his success in athletics,
as he lettered on the football and
basketball teams.
His accomplishments in senior
high school were even greater, for
he made the football and baseball
teams during his freshman year,
and duplicated the same feat for the
next three years. This makes
“Conde” a four letter-man in two
sports, an enviable position.
Besides his athletic participation,
Alexander has taken part in other
affairs of school life. He is a four
year member of the M. Association,
and has been a member of the
Spanish Club for the past year and
he was also assistant sports editor
of the “Tiger.”
“Conde” plans to attend Columbia
University next fall.

en you buy PRICE
you cannot buy QU
Almost any business man who has any sort of merchan-
dising experience will plainly state that many prices today
are too low, that sufficient margin cannot be made to pay
reasonable expenses and that a net profit is almost impos-
sible to be made.
Two reasons for this situation are the endeavor to “sell for
less” to attract trade and with it the policy of purchasing
agents to beat down the price of the seller by every trick
known to the trade.
There cannot be quality production, fair prices, or any-
thing else like normal conditions, while buyers and pur-
chasing agents harp on the low price idea—or where sell-
ers use a low price solely to attract business.
To reduce prices as demanded means lowered wages,
cheaper materials, less care in manufacture, and a general
scaling down of the living scale and commodity values.
We must all work together to remedy this unhealthy con-
dition and the only way it can be done is to BUY QUAL-
ITY. The demand for “CHEAP” will always create un-
desirable business conditions.

When INSURANCE Gets The Test
When it comes time for the insurance company to "settle up”
with the insured—that’s the time insurance gets its test. And

to the discomfiture of the insured. All our policies are standard,
backed by a concern that has stood the test of time, and afford
protection without worry.
