A number of the admiring friends

COUNTY'S TAXABLE VALUES
INCREASED OVER So. 500, 500

The approximate valuation Of all
Cameron county property as deter
mined by the board of equalization
which has just completed it's work is
S15,2S0, 900. These figures APP
pear to show little increase in the
taxable values Of the property in
the county over that of last year, but
when it is explained that last year
the county included what is now
Willacy county, it is seen readily
that there has been a very sub
stantial increase in values. The
taxable values Of that part Of the
county which is now in Willacy
county amounted to about two and
on half million dolalrs. This, of
course did not come under this coun-
tvs roll of taxable property this
year, and as the figures for this year
more than equal those of last year,
even with the county.s area so
greatly reduced, it is apparent that
the taxable values for Cameron
county amount to more than
$780, 900.

Heart toHeart:
Talks.
HOW SHE DOES IT.
By EDWIN A. NYE.


know a home from which You would
scarcely be able to drive the children
with club.
1t is not fine home nor expensive in
it's upkeep. 1t is just comfortable. And
1t is presided over by woman of rare
sense and great tact. She cares more
for her children than for fine clothes or
society or the womans club. She
wants her children to have a good time
and knows how to give it to them.
To illustrate:
There are two boys, fine young cubs,
who never go grumbling to their tasks
Mother knows how to make sport out
Of drudgery. And If the task Is hard
there is a sure reward at the end.
There are big yard and garden.
The boys work hard in the garden and
enact high jinks in the yard. There are
big tree, the barn, the alley, Noisy
OF course And hard on clothes? Sure
ly. But
You will find a lot of neighborhood
boys there, which is an infallible test
Of the sort of mother young fellows
have.
The boys have room of their own
1t happens there are two windows on
the west. There are striped awnings
over the windows. A lot Of people in
that neighborhood are richer, but they
never think Of buying awntngs-"just
for the boys room"
Besides
Down in the basement are plenty OF
tools and soft pine boards. Things are 8
bit topsy turvy there. You should see
the .'contraptions" the boys make. And
If by any means they may contrive and
make something for mother-why, thai
is best Of all.
In the yard are a swing and ham
mock. To be sure, they break dowr
occasionally when too many kids tum
BILE In at one time. Ropes and ham
mocks do not cost much. And nobody
Is ever scolded.
There is a girl also.
She is something of romp. Thu
neighbors call her "a tomboy." She |:
as 1.-the as the family cat, and there
are freckles on her nose. 1t is noted
when the neighborhood girls play will
the dolls and mimic their mammas
they do SO at this girls home. Else
where they might rumple things ant
incur remarks.
More than all else
In the vocabulary of this mothe
there Is no such word as Don't"
How does she keep her children a
home?
This Is the recipe: A little good sense
a few ounces of patience. a pinch o.
tact. Mix with real mother love.

Harmless gentle Syrup of Figs best to cleanse your

You old people, Syrup of Figs is

like the easy chair. You, whose steps
are slow and whose muscles are less
elastic. You must realize that your
liver and ten yards of bowels have al

Just as exercise would do If you took

of Figs gives to torpid liver and

natural and gentle.

No matter how healthy a human
being may be it is safe to say that
not many months are passed without
some obstruction Of the bowels, in other
words, constipation, even If only tenn

may start after the evening meal. If a
laxative Is not taken that night 1t is
certain that sleep will not be sound,
and you will awaken unrefreshed-
Hence, it is important for you and for
all the members of your family that a
good, reliable laxative be always kept
in the house for just such emergency.
It Is sure to be needed, and when needed
you want it at hand. No family that is
careful of its health can do without such
