Rev Bowen Believes the Movement
For Free Clinics in School a Good One
Brings Out Good Points in Its Favor

In the judgment Of this writer, q
long, forward-looking step was taxi
en- when il was decided 20 provide,
without cost 10 parent or pupil, a
free clinic for the students Of our
local schools.
As already explained, this in
cludes physical examination only.
To provide free treatment would
hardly be feasible. But the exami-
nation itself is important, and Is
sure to prove a blessing. II will
furnish intelligent information to
the parent and child concerning any
physical ailment or disabilities that
threaten the happiness, usefulness,
and efficiency Of the child, during
those formative years when their
unfolding powers ought 10 have the
fullest opportunity for sound and
healthy development. Disease, or
irregularities, in any part Of the
body affects, not only the health
and happiness Of the individual, but.

and vigor Of the mind also Many

with low grade Of work because
Of bad digestion, a bad tooth, bad

These troubles are always more
or less serious, but usually they are
not so serious, but what they can
easily be corrected by medical skill
If discovered and treated al the pro-

a stage Of development and perma-

to correct them, and bring perma-

in case Of neglect, there are the

ficiency that might have been avoid

the child IN school should be charg-

II may be argued that this mat

Is the parents business rather than

true. but Il is well known that, in
many cases, this Is not attended 70

Cullen Thomas, Candidate For US.
Senate, Addressed the Voters Of Lub-
book at Court House Last Saturday

Cullen r. Thomas, candidate for
United States Senator from Texas,
gave very interesting and enter
taining address at the District Court
room Saturday afternoon. The room
was full 60 capacity, with some in
the wings Of the balcony. Quite a
good representation Of women were
IN attendance az the meeting, and
great enthusiasm was shown.
Mayor Percy Spencer opened the
meeting, with a few words Of greet
ing, then introduced Judge w. II.

Thomas, emphasizing the fact that
he had known Mr. Thomas since
they were school boys together, ana

Committee Favors
Appropriation For
Reporting Markets

Wellington, April 26.-The con-
ference committee Of the House and
Senate, considering the agricultural
appropriation bill, retained in the bill
the $4,000 increase for dissemina-
ting Government market reports,
which insures the delivery Of official
markets by leased wire TO Austin for
broadcasting by the University Of
Texas radio station, beginning July
/. The leased wire formerly going
10 Texas was abandoned during the
war and since market reports have
been obtained over the commercial
wires by the interested parties.
The conferees, at the instance Of
Representative Buchanan OF Texas,
member Of the committee, adopted
an item Of $4,000 for experimental
tion in making tea from the leaf Of
the Youpon, or Casino shrub, which
grows extensively in Texas and other
Southern states II is the only plant
found in the United States the leaf
Of which contains caffeine, and that
in Texas, where the leaves grow
large and thick, carry from so 70 65
per cent Of the element.
The brew from the Youpon leaf,
il is thought, will be found a whole
some substitute for tea, as the
growth has been analyzed and found
to contain the flavor and tonic fluids
of many teas. There is already a
demand in South America for the
Youpon tea, and the creation Of
another industry for the country's
exports is thought possible. Exper-
iments have been made with the
growth in North Carolina. The bush
grows wild in Texas and other South
ern States. forming a dense thicket
and from ten to twenty feet in
height.

As parents, we owe Il 10 the State

State, when little wise care and

time, might have led TO a different
career. Without doubt the State
is losing a great deal Of talent, abil-
ity, aud money in the decreased eff
ficiency Of its citizenship, that might
have been saved had more caution
been exercised
II has been made clear that no
child need submit to this free cx-
animation unless the child or par
ent so desires. As already stated,
the establishment Of this free clinic
is forward looking step, but we
will take "A longer forward-looking
step when we make this exapina-
tiOn. not optional but compulsory.
We owe II TO the child, the school,
and the State, TO do this. Other
States have already done this, and
why should we lag behind? The
