Young Woman Disappears
After Phone Call Tells
of Arrival in S. A.

After a telephone message Sunday
to give word of her arrival in the
city, Miss Alma Green, pretty 10-ycar-
old Temple girl, has mystcriously dis
appeared, police learned Monday from
her sister, Mrs. r. f. TopoIski, 500
Harris avenue, Alamo Heights.
Mrs. Topolski. with whom the young
sister was planning to make her home,
was out of the city when Miss Green
arrived. A ncighbor, however, re-
ccivcd Miss Green's message:
OFFICER PHONES.
81 will b out in a few minutes.
These words. according to the
neighbor. were phoned from a point
ncar the Incarnate Word College.
Mrs. Topolski is at Il loss to explain
why her sister left the street car at
that point which is a considerable dis
lance from the lldIIlS dN'lluI NUM-
Besides this element of mystery
there is one other, according to po-
lice. A reserve army officer, who
rode on the same bus with Miss Green
from Austin to San Antonio, phoncd
Mrs. Topolski Monday morning to
learn if Miss Green arrived safely.
TO QUESTION OFFICER.
Detectives were supplied with his
name and he will be asked to give
any information he might possess
which might lead to the discovery
of the missing girl.
Miss Green formerly lived in San
Antonio and knows her way about
the city. Police learned that her bag
gage had been left at the bus sta

This cOd>liver oil is sur
prisingly rich in vitamins

FOR years physicians have prescribed cod-liver
oil tonic for both children and adults. But
until recently the reasons for the amazing virtues
of the oil not clearly understood Then scien-
fists discovered vitamins, and it became known
that the value of codlver oil lay almost entirely
in its richness in the fat-soluble yitamns.
But then disturbing fact became apparent.
The vitamns in cod-lver oil easily lost in
the process of preparation and transportation.
Thus there danger that oil upon which
people depended for its restorative. growth-pro-
noting, lfe-giving effects might prove seriously
lacking in these virtues.
Characteristically. the house of E. r! Squibb &
Sons, chemists to the medical and dental profess
sions since 1858, the first to solve this newly
apparent difficulty. Squbb's Cod-Liver Oil is pre-
pared under special. exclusive process. developed
in the Squibb Laboratories, which protects the oil
from loss of vitamins. 1t is the only cod-lver oil
that gives assurance of high vitamin content when
it reaches the consumer.
The special vitarnin- preserving process also
makes the oil much more paatable. It is quite
unlike the ordinary cod-liver oil in taste.
And since it is so exceptionally rich in vtamins
the usual dose is smaller. Thus Squibb's Cod
Liver Oil is actually more economical, we'll as
eff ective So it is best to insist upon Squibbs
when you need cod-liver OIL
