Salt Lake Yields New
Material That Does Much
From the following artcle that ap-
pear in papers during the early part
of the week, it looks like one can use
furniture polish if he runs out of
shampoo. The dry lake bed near Prom-
ontory Point close to Salt Lake,
Utah, is yielding a new powerful hair
tonic. .Steam pipes sunk 400 feet in
the ground melt a sulphur compound
which comes up as S, a germicide
four times as powerful as carbolic
acid. S, according to its promoters, in
addition to its use as a shampoo,
makes a good furniture polish, squeak
eliminator, cures athlete’s foot, cures
poultry diseases, and can be used to
make rubber bands.

More than 864,000,000 in cash has

City Folks Follow
Small Town Custom
The small town custom of meeting
the evening train on Sunday has be-
come the raging fad of city folks.
This new sport has come about with
the introduction of the new style
zephyr trains. In New York a station
attendant announced that at least a
hundred dropped in each day to see
the new stream-line trains. Some
drive out to the edge of town to see
the speed demons race by in flashing
speed. Then, too, city folks get great
sport from visiting the station in
hopes of seeing some movie star or
group from the Follies arrive on the
afternoon train.
THANES
My sincere thanks for the 5703
votes I received for District Judge,
and for the loyal efforts of my friends.
have no ill-will toward those who
did not vote for me, and extend my
best wishes to my successful oppon-
ent.
In the future I shall be engaged in
the practice of law, with my office in
Cleburne, where I invite my friends
to call on me.

ywJxiww AT LAMPASAS
(By Rev. E. C. Lambert)
John Holmes Lambert in the year
1881, with his young wife and chil-
dren, answered the call of the pio-
neer spirit and moved from Fayette
county, Texas, to the hilly country in
the eastern part of Lampasas county.
Here they bought land and built them
a home and began the arduous task
of clearing away the timber and pre-
paring the soil for cultivation.
After numbers of years of hard
toil and economical living, the last
payment was made on the farm. Dur-
ing this time the number of children
increased until there were twelve in
all, four girls and eight boys. Eleven
of the children are living today, and
on last Sunday, July 26th, nine of
them, with their families left their
homes with Lampasas as their desti-
nation, where they met in a family
reunion.
By twelve o’clock they had assem-
bled at the State Park, where they
spent the remainder of the day in a
very enjoyable and pleasant way.
This was the first gathering of this
family in thirty-one years. The long
table was soon covered with good
eats, and a large family enjoyed once
again the sweet fellowship around the
family table.
After the noon meal Rev. E. C.
Lambert called the group to order,
and the following officers were elect-
ed: M. L. Lambert of Clifton, presi-
dent; C. L. Lambert of Seguing vice
president; J. H. Lambert of Copperas
Cove, secretary. A motion was made
and by unanimous vote this is to be
an annual gathering. An invitation
was given by the president and Clif-
ton is to be the place of gathering for
next year.
As the day drew to a close the hour
of separation came, and with many
fond memories of the past in our
hearts and minds, good-byes were said
once again.
Those in attendance were: Mr. and
Mrs. M. L. Lambert and children, Mr.
and Mrs. C. W. Lambert and children,
Ira Lambert and son, Mr. and Mrs.
J. H. Lambert, Mr. and Mrs. Luther
Lambert, Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Guinn,
Mr. and Mrs. Louis Bell, Mr. and
Mrs. Grayford Lambert, of Clifton;
Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Lambert, Mr. and
Mrs. A. Listen and daughter of Se-
guin; Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Lambert and
children of Copperas Cove; Mr. and
Mrs. J. E. Lambert and grandchild,
Mrs. Frances Burns, Mrs. Evelyn
Chambless, Mr. and Mrs. Luster Lam-
bert of Waco; Charles L. Lambert of
Quanah; John Holmes Lambert, Rev.
E. C. Lambert and children, Mr. and
Mrs. G. C. Barnett of Lampasas;
Mr. and Mrs. Frank A. Brushert and
son, Jack, Miss Bessie Lambert, of
Eau Clair, Wisconsin.
Two sisters could not be present:
Mrs. J. W. Carlin, Sioux City, Iowa;
and Mrs. W. A. Casey, Rosebud.—

BABY POWDER
KILLS GERMS
I Now, you can get a baby pow-
der that will keep your baby
SAFER against germs and ddn
infections. It’s Mennen Anti-
septic Powder. Four doctor wffl
teU you that whenever you buy
a baby powder it surely ought
to be Mennen. Because Mennen
is more than just a dust inf
powder—it’s antiseptic! And it
costs no morel So, mother, buy
a tin of this “safety powder”
from your druggist, today.
Vigorous boiling in lots of water destroys the valuable
vitamin and mineral content of fresh vegetables. The
thoughtful woman wants to retain these health-giving
elements. The controlled boiling heat which the modern
gas range provides does not rapidly evaporate water
when boiling vegetables. Mothers can serve more health-
ful food by following this simple method of modern gas
cookery.

Most days are hot in August. Gaso-

weather. If it isn’t, part of the fuel
goes out the exhaust unburned,
