The INJURIOUS practice of eating dHt has be-
cone epidemic in Texas. Psrents mourn ant
eating children planters mourn dLr'-esHns

Such Is the passion for dirt, as we are m
formed BY the phiIauthropic firm Of l. b. "hee-
clock & Co." that " it il often practiced secretly
for year,, while the parent, owner and PHYSICIAN
are totally unable to account for the oss oil heAitn
