MUST HURRY HOME.
Texas Officials Will Have to Pay Poll
 Tax or Be Disfranchiscd.

Austin, Texas, January 1S-Unless Texas congressman and senators desire to disfranchise themselves they will have to rush with haste home from Washing ton so as to arrive not later than the 31st Inst.
 This is made necessary by the oper- ation of the Texas poll tax amendment. which makes it compulsory sapeR both voters and office holders to pay their poll tax before they can either vote or be eligible to office. The poll tax constitu- tional amendment further provides that the poll tax cannot be paid by proxy. but must be paid in person. so as to pre- serve the voting privileges and save themselves from disfranchisement.

BONE FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
rickets if you want to. The
growing child must eat th=
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood

on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littledoses every day
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and

heads.
Wrong food caused the

we stand for the principles inculcated
