GALVESTON A TRIPLE TOUCH1 ABOUT ITS BROKEN CAUSEWA1 }
Eager to Lay the Blame on Its Faulty Construction Instead the Storms Fury-They're Proud and Confident, Too
 of Their Great New Sea Wall
By ZOE BECKLEY

1901 to 1910. without issuing [ dollar i bonds, $1,200,000 was spent from genera revenues for paving, shell roads, drain age, rebuilding waterworks, etc.
 'In grade raising (by pumping in 20 0C0, 900 cubic yards of sand filing, raisni houses, making sidewalks, replantin shrubbery, etc, total of. nearly $5,000i GOO has been expended Yet our city ta! rate is only $1.69 on 5000 valuation"
 I felt impressed by all these stalwar
 figures, but was still feeling sorry fo that smashed causeway. When I re ferred to it, however, in those terms learned what many ersons have learnel in referring to San Franeisco's earth quake" to-wit, that cities are al sensi tive about their personal misfortunes a fat woman with red hair It weri seemier if you refer to her as beins auburn haired and inclined to plump ness.'
 Rather than have you suggest tha the causeway was smashed by tn storm" Galveston gladly takes all blam for the causeway's faulty construction. EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT NOW
 Tt was a mistake" says MT. Kemp ner, "a piece of poor judgment. w built a cement shell and filled it witt sand So that when the water seeped in 1t washed the filling out like sugar The storm did not damage the part thal was properly built with reinforced coni crete arches which allowed the water te go through
 Be the causeway as it may, the Gall weston sea wall, I will wager my Mexil can lace collar, is properly built. It is the most majestic piece of marine engii neering it has been my privilege to seei It skirts this ocean planted city like a smoothed and elongated Rock of Gibral- tar.
 It is five miles in length with a mag nifieent drive and walk atop it. It is r feet high, feet thick at the top and l6 at the base, presenting a hollowed face against which furious waves may hurl themselves impotently.
 Facing the open sea stands the new and splendid Hotel Galvez, costing mill lion dollars, every penny of which was raised by local popular subscription As 1 stood on, that wall and watched the long breakers roll in upon the curv- ing shore, l. tried to recall some other city that presents such a pure and beau- tiful frontage to the sea.
 Atlantic City's ocea snsde is cluttered with stuffy shops. Charlestons battery is aristocratic, but it's calm beauty is like a garden fshpond compared to this stretch of fearsome ocean strand that forms the playground of the indomita- ble Galvestonians.
 DIFFERENT-BUT SATISFACTORY Indigestion causes worry, nervous mess, sick headaches biliousness, coat led tongue, bad breath, bloating, gas and constant distress. w, A. McRae, Raleigh, Ga., writes: "F'ole ! |Cathartic Tablets cleansed my system thoroughly and do not gripe or hurt at all. I recommend them to others and all find them entirely satisfactory land wonderfully different and more pleasant than anything ever seen.' They cleanse the bowels, sweeten tx stomach, invigorate the liver. Sf ! everywhere.-Adv.

For children milk is also necessary
one pint of milk per child per day.
I will guarantee to keep any child
in perfect health, growth and enjoy
ment on a daily ration Of one-half
pound corn meal and one pint Of milk

That plan steals the threat from
food wars or interstate railway
strikes and puts the quietus on the
high cost of living and the "neces-
sity" for birth control.

The child whose blood becomes acid

A hungry child cannot be good;
neither can it work or study.
Suspicious sausages have sent
more boys to the saloon or the re-
form school than their critics sus-
pect. Why? Because the people
who have least money to waste
spend most on buying food trash.
My household of four makes four

changing to a chicken on Sunday.
The rest of our diet is fruit, potatoes -
and cereals. We work hard and are

NATION SHOULD TAKE
DECLARES
BY DIR. HARVEY w. WILEY
I'm an Interview with Mary Boyle
O'ReiIIy.)
Whether we remain at peace or ad-
venture on war, the government
should take full possession Of our
food supplies.
Every family in the country must
be able to buy staple foods at fixed
prices.
Already one-tenth of the people Of
the United States are starving. Such
starvation is largely due to stupidity.
Even today 81 spent on Indian corn
will keep working man well nOur-
ished for one month. Five dollars
will supply four weeks satisfying
food for an average family.
Plain living? Of course! But you
may take it from me, the war has
killed luxury for this generation.
Humanity is entering upon such a
period of enforced economy as the
world has never seen. Europe feels
this today. We may realize it to-
morrow.
Enforced thrift is a blessing in dis
guise. Our grandparents were
stronger, more dependable, finer men
and women because they had moth
ing to waste.
When 81 can purchase only so
cents worth of food the man who
earns and the woman who spends
must learn what foods furnish most
nourishment before they buy. The
answer is indisputable. Cereals
bought in bulk supply the greatest
amount of Chew" heat and energy
for the least money. And of all &C.
reals, Indian corn is the cheapest. 1
have proved it by long practice.
