Miseries of
Her Cold
<?ss6es/ee/>s/ ‘
When you rub sooth-
Y Ing, warming VapoRub
her cold-irritated
throat, chest and back at bed-
time, it starts to work in-
stantly .Then, while she sleeps.
VapoRub’s special relief-giv-
ing action keeps on working
for hours. Often by morning
most misery of*
the cold is gone.

Coon Creek
BY JOE W. GANDY
Well, this is one more beauti-
ful Monday morning. The son is
shinning and I feel like it would
be good to be out bare-footed
pulling the bell cord over a
mule’s back, up on Coon Creek
where the birds are singing and

are blooming, and folks are plant-
ing potatoes and setting out cab-
bage plants, and the cotton-tails
are crouched out in a bunch of
grass, sniggering how he is going
to get them that night. All around
me men are rushing and worry-
ing, some cussing and swearing,
but, of course, that doesn't get the
job done.
One of our Senators died last
Saturday. That makes three men
who have died in this session of
the Texas Legislature, all with
heart trouble. Our old Chaplain,
one House Member and one Sen-
ator. People are beginning to
wonder about that and wonder-
ing why so many people are dy-
ing with heart trouble. Some
think it is the fast pace that we
are living in, and some think it
is just their time to die, but re-
gardless of the cause, the thing
for a man to do is to be ready
and then it will not matter what
killed him.
The cost of living here would
almost cause you to have heart
trouble. My wife bought three
tomatoes that cost 40 cents and
I saw a Mexican woman buy one
cucumber and they wanted to
charge her 30 cents for it. The
Mexican woman looked at the
cucumber and said, "Me no take.”
Anybody that would give 30 cents
for a cucumber is affected with
something—either in the heart or
the head.

•OLE CACTUS’ CONTENTED . . . After 54 years in polities. John
Nance Garner, one-time vice president of the United States, now in
his 79th year, puffs away on a favorite cigar, the picture of content-
ment, at his oak-studded Uvalde, Tex., ranch. With politics a closet^
chapter, the Texan may be seen every afternoon fce.iing his large
flock of thickens and turkeys, at peace with the world and glad that
he docs not have to help solve the world problems.
We are starting off in high
this morning. A gas tax bill is
the first thing on the program,
and I can state for a fact now
that the "hair is fixing to fly.”
There has been introduced up to
now 767 bills in this House, and
very few have been passed by
both Houses, and signed by the
Governor, so if we were to stay
here until we wipe the slate clean,
we would be here a long time. I
know people wonder just why
the Legislature gets along so
slow. You would just hfive to be
down here to know why. They
often wrang'e from one to three
hours over the most trivial little
matter, when it could be settled
in one minute’s time. But that
I is what we get for being Demo-
crats. That is democracy in ac-
tion, and we have no idea of ever
changing our system. If we had
a dictator where only man had
a say—we would get along faster,
but under our system, every man
is entitled to have his say, and
nothing but a shot-gun would
stop him. We may grind slow—
but we are all still Democrats.

years. In addition to Denison, he
resided in Bonham and Pecan
Gap.

Roy McDaniel. Denison, and T.

grandchildren also survive.

NOTES
Detour For Safety
A detail that housewives may
want to watch in ironing clothes
comes from the U.S Department
ot Agriculture. Department home
economists say that running the
iron over buttons, snaps, buckles,
zippers or pins may mean dam-
age to both the fastenings and
the iron.
Even when ironing on the
wrong side of the garment, you’ll
be wise to detour around these
fastenings, the economists say.
Buttons may be cracked, broken
or even melted—metal fastenings
can be bent—and the fabric un-
derneath torn or badly worn
when the iron presses over them.
And fastenings can scratch or
mar the metal soleplate of the
iron so that it will not iron as
smoothly. So perhaps a good
ironing rule is—detour around
around buttons and other fasten-
been successful in rooting cut-
tings in all soil types which grow
crops in the state. But good
drainage and plenty of moisture
are necessary in growing young
plants, and two or three inch
mulch and half shade promote
growth in the •summer.
Also an our plants, smubs and
trees can be grown from cuttings,
except a few like peaches, pears,

Summer Program Planned
For Boys In Ralls
Thirty-five business leaders of
Ralls got together last week and
took action on the question of
“what to do for the boys” during
the coming summer months after
school is closed. A program of
supervised play was adopted for
the hundred or more boys in
town between the ages of 7 and
17. Each boy will pay a fee of
50 cents for membership in the
club, but if any boy hasn't the
money, he will be allowed to
work it out. Adults sponsoring
the movement have pledged $800
to finance the cost of equipment.

Pressure Or Not?
Here’s a report on research
work that may answer questions
housewives have been asking
about cooking frozen vegetables
in a pressure saucepan.
State experiment stations con-
ducting work on the subject re-
port that while frozen vegetables
can be cooked in the saucepan,
it is impractical in some cases.
For instance, frozen peas may
be cooked in the usual way in
less time than it takes to bring
the pressure up in a pressure pan.
On the other hand, frozen vege-
tables like lima beans can be
cooked in the pressure pan in
only one and a half to two and
a half minutes, when they take
16 to 22 minutes without pres-
sure. It’s just a case of finding
out what vegetables will cook
fast enough to compensate for
the extra care and attention nec-
aosary in using a sauce pan.

Plants From Cuttings
Many of the common shrubs,
trees and vines may be grown
easily from cuttings, and although
they can be planted most any
month of the year, cuttings set
out early will give you larger
plants to put out in the open
ground next fall.
Follow this procc Jure for selec-
tion and planting cuttings. Choose
a limb that grew last year; one
about the thickness and length
of a new pencil. Be sure you
select a healthy, unbruised cut-
ting. If the plant has leaves, two
or three left at the top of the
cutting will make food for the
new plant.
Planting for or five extra cut-
tings for each plant that you
actually need is a smart move.
Then the surplus plants can be
exchanged with neighbors, or giv-
en as presents when rooted in
pots, cans or boxes.

ing soil, but Texas gardners have

Here's a new Sinclair Opaline Motor Oil — an oil of Premium Grade
that not only lubricates safely but also keeps your motor clean as a whistle.
That’s because new Opaline Motor Oil contains two special chemicals devel-
oped to keep the motors of Army tanks and trucks clean and powerful even under ' >.v
the toughest conditions.
In your car. the new Opaline keeps down carbon, lacquer, sludge------
and corrosive acids which steal your power when you use ordinary oil.
A ^lean motor is a more powerful motor. So have your Sinclair
