Health Officer
Warns Flu Patients
About Relapse
AUSTIN.—While influenza is pre-
valent, the citizens of Texas are
warned that they should not be in
too big a hurry to return to their
work following a siege of this dis-
ease. Influenza of itself is seldom
fatal, but complications, principally
pneumonia, are the cause of death,
asserts Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer.
The number of cases of pneumonia
reported last week was four times
the usual incidence at this season
of the year. The increase corres-
ponds almost directly with the
amount of influenza reported.
The termination of the acute
symptoms of influenza does not in-
dicate a complete recovery. Many
persons believe this to be true and
return to their daily routine, only
to suffer a relapse. Others plod along
In a weakened state, harbor a sub-
acute cold, and by continuing to
lower their resistance, invite pro-
longed trouble.
Past experience indicates that the
longer an epidemic persists, the
more severe it becomes. The pos-
sibility of complications increases;
therefore, early medical care in any
suspected case of influenza is very
important. Success in handling
pneumonia depends on early recog-
nition, and its onset may be unre-
cognized by the patient. In general
a sharp pain in the chest in breath-
*—inf and coughing may mean that
pneumonia has developed.
Proper medical care during at-
tacks of influenza will prevent per-
amia returning to work until it i3
to do so, and thus lessen the

t Boys'
Fine Cotton in
Rugby Community
Forrest and Wayne Grogan of the
Rugby community, whose winnings
in the swine division last spring of
the Ft. Worth Fat Stock Show won
them national recognition, have
proven that they can also produce
cotton that ranks with top records
in this area.
As a part of tneir 4-H Club work
last year, the boys planted five
acres of upland black soil in Cali-
fornia Acala cotton, from which
4800 pounds nt was picked and
stored duri the fall before any
rain fell n .u The cotton was gin-
ned recently and sold to Storey &
Evans of Deport, who say it is the
highest list of cotton they have
handled in a long time. It graded
strict middling.
The five acres of cotton, which
was not fertilized or treated for flea
infestation, yielded 431 pounds of
lint to the acre, according to Earl
Grogan, father of Forrest and
Wayne.
W. K. Read of Deport is also re-
ported to have made a good yield
with the same variety, some of
which had longer staple than the
Grogan cotton, but which was not
of as good grade.

Our Family Eats
22,440 Meals A DAY!
Think of It!
Considering an average of only four people to the family, three meals a day,
multiplied by the circulation of The Times, the amount of food consumed
by the “reader family” of this newspaper is tremendous.
Thousands of pounds of meat, thousands of pounds of vegetables, truck-
loads of foodstuff—in fact you would be surprised if you could see all the
food this family consumes at just one meal.
This great “reader family” of The Times is one that any food merchant
will do well to cultivate.
. . . Think of all the needs of this large reader family. Clothes, furniture,
gasoline, oil, motor repairs, automobiles, shoes, drugs—really you have no
idea the number of things this family needs.
It takes a lot of buying and selling to supply the wants of The Times read-
er family.
