Dr George Lawtton answers
questions in the Dallas News on the
subject of health. Frequently the
doctor advises the questioners just
to quit worrying about their health
and try to enjoy life.

marked that people worry about
only three things: what happened

Editor Ray Nidhols of the Ver-

crop to yield 1,000 pounds per
acre. Parker uuys production costs
