Texas oil is better than Klondike gold. Both are uncertain. The
man who tells you otherwise is a liar or a fool. Most likely he is both.
I am organizing the Chance to Lose Oil Company with $200,000
stock, as an association for the purpose of drilling two or more test
wells on 2000 acres which will be leased to the Company for the usual
one-eighth royalty and $75,000 stock Shares $25.00 each.
This land is 25 miles East of Houston, Texas
While this land is untested, it is only G MILES NORTHWEST OF
BARBERS HILL WHERE A 500 BARREL WELL HAS BEEN RE-
CENTLY DISCOVERED. The famous Humble field that has produced
a hundred million dollars in oil is just 17 miles to the northwest. The
Rich Goose Creek field is just 18 miles south.
The Dayton field is just 7 miles north. The Hull and Batson fields
are aout 25 miles east. The big gushers of the West Columbia fields
are 35 miles to the southwest. It will be seen that this land is sur-
rounded by proven fields.
If I knew for sure that there was oil on this land I would keep
it all and you would not be reading this advertisement. Therefore do
not invest any more in this or any other oil deal than you can afford
to lose.
IF WE STRIKE GOOD OIL ON THIS LARGE ACREAGE THE
PROPERTY WILL BE WORTH 10 MILLION DOLLARS AND A HUN-
DRED DOLLAR. INVESTMENT WILL BE WORTH $5,000 OR 50 TO 1.
Every stockholder will have an interest in every well drilled.
Actual drilling will begin in about 20 days and when $100,000 is
subscribed and paid.
Mr. Ed Hussion, Col. E. H. Coombs and Capt W. R. Dulaney, busi-
ness men with oil experience, of Houston, and Mr. George S. Nalle, a
prominent business man of Austin, Texas, with myself will be the trus-
tees of the company and manage the business.
Judge S. H. Brashear, formerly district judge and mayor of Houston,
is counsel for the company.
‘ There will be no 'commissions paid to stock salesmen or anybody
else, and all moneys received will be used in actual drilling operation '
except the actual cost of advertising and legal expense of forming the
company. 1 -
Remember this is no sure thing, but a chance to make 50 to 1.

Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.
. When one stops to consider the host
of thin people who are searching con-
tinually for some method by which
they may increase their flesh to normal
proportions by the. filling out of ugly
hollows, the rounding off of protruding
angles with the attendant bloom of
health and attractiveness, it is no won-
der that many and varied suggestions
along this line appear from time to
time in public print.
While excessive thinness might be
attributed to various and subtle causes
in different individuals, it is a well-
known fact that the lack of phos-
phorous in the human system is very
largely responsible for this condition.
It seems to be well established that
this deficiency in phosphorous may
now be met by the use of an organic
phosphate known throughout English-
speaking countries as Bitro-Phosphate.
The assimilation of this phosphate by
the nerve tissue soon produces a wel-
come change in our, body and mind.
Nerve tension disappears, vigor and
strength replace weakness and lack of
energy and the whole body soon loses
its ugly hollows and abrupt angles,
becoming enveloped in a glow of per-
fect health and beauty and the will and
strength to be up and doing.. -9
CAUTION: — While Bitro-Phosphate
is unsurpassed for the relief of nerv-
ousness, general debility, etc., those
taking it who do not desire to put on
flesh should use extra care in avoiding
fat-producing foods.

Every county judge and every coun-
ty commissioners in the state of Texas
will receive a personal appeal for his
support of the constitutional amend-
ment which will permit the issuance
of $5,000,000 of bonds for the protec-
tion of Galveston island. Authority
to print and mail the circulars was
granted the judge and county, com-
missioners of Galveston county at the
regular weekly meeting last night of
the commissioners’ court.
Issuance of road bonds by the county
for the construction of permanent
highways, including the paving of the
causeway which soon will be com-
plete, was brought before the court.
The sum of $400,000 is asked for in the
resolution presented by Commissioner
Hartel in favor of the issue. He stated
that the expenditure of a large sum
on permanent roads will be more eco-
nomical than the present method of
appropriating in the neighborhood of
$60,000 annually for the upkeep of mud-
shell highways. The matter was re-
ferred to County Attorney Theobald,
for investigation and report. The re-
port of the road, and bridge committee
and the county engineer showed that
$10,200, will be needed for roadwork
which is necessary between now and
Nov. 1.
Five $10,000 warrants or a total of.
$60,000 were authorized. These cover
money ’for the seawall improvement
fund and were ordered issued to the
City National Bank, Texas Bank and
Trust company, South Texas State
Bank, Hutchings-Sealy Bank and the
First National Bank. A warrant for
$50,000 was ordered issued to the
United States government for part pay-
ment on an installment for the East
End seawall construction.
A letter was read from Congressman
Clay Stone Briggs, in which the con-
gressman stated that he is making ef-
forts to obtain $8,000, which is due the
county from the department of agri-
culture for work in highway No. 2. 1
William Lucas, who had the contract
for papering the room of the court of
civil appeals, stated that he was unable
to get union labor and withdrew from
the contract, it being agreed that he
was to be paid for work already done.
Contract for the completion of the
job was awarded E. G. Seals.
Repair of damaged roads and bridges
at Port Bolivar were stated to be nec-
essary and the county auditor was
authorized to solicit bids' for 5,400
feet of lumber to be used at that point.
The road and bridge committee and
county engineer were instructed to
investigtae and report on the question
of taking money from the C. C. Adam’s
bequest for rebuilding 0 Port Bolivar
roads and bridges.
The county engineer was authorized
to ask for bids for the building of

Houston, Sept. 23.—As an aviation
training field, Ellington field will have
ceased to exist when the flying units
leave for Kelly field. It will be
classed- as a supply depot, the person-
nel remaining in, charge consisting of
eleven officers and fifteen men. Sixty-
two officers and 340 enlisted men have
been ordered to hold themselves in
readiness to report to San Antonio for
duty. '.
Lieut.' Col. Lawrence W. McIntosh,
officer in command at the field, said
that no orders had been received at
the field which indicated that the field
was to be abandoned immediately.
With the departure of the flying
units for San Antonio Ellington ‘field
will become a supply depot and so far
as is officially known at this time will
remain a supply depot until the war
department decides that it is no longer
necessary to mobilize aero squadrons
at San Antonio, Col. McIntosh declared.
The government is going ahead with
the drainage project at Ellington field.
The flying units’ officers and men
are ready to leave for Kelly field im-
mediately upon the receipt of orders
from Washington. They may come at
any hour.
Col. McIntosh said no official inti-
mation had been given, from Washing-
ton that men from other flying fields
in the United States would be sent to
Ellington field to replace the men or-
dered to Kelly field.

The Greatest Aid in Cooking
Accurately Measured Heat
PTHE first rule of good cookery is "measure accurately." To
1 guess at quantities is a poor way to get quality. Yet you
are now required to guess at the most important part of cooking
•—oven temperature. ‘
Invention has solved this problem. The “Lorain” Oven Heat Regulator
measures heat with positive accuracy. After you have selected the heat you,
want and set the temperature wheel, your oven heat cannot increase or
decrease. Thus you are assured of
cooking perfection — the one desire of
every housewife! :
