Look out for high blood pressure
It's dangerous condition that may
cut life short.
Living at the pace we do today
We put too great strain upon our
vital organs, especially the liver.
The liver becoming limp or slug

the poisons formed in food waste.
Then toxic condition of the whole

The liver occasionally needs lit
tie help and there's nothing better
for this, as doctors agree, than OK
gall. Ok gall is a remarkable natti-
raj stirnulant for the human liver,
promoting its normal active func-
tioning so essential to real health.
Dioxol tablets are genuine OK gall
in dainty and tasteless form, each
tablet representing 10 drops OF pure
OK gall. To be sure of getting the
genuine OK gall, be sure of getting

Talk Of Class D Lea
que in Valley Is
Continued

During the past month or two,
as the football season has been wan
ming, Valley fandom have been talk
ing baseball-the kind Of national
sport the fans as a whole like and
will support-and that is profession
al baseball-for the Valley.
While little or no efforts have
been made toward organiZation-it
is expected that Valley fandom will
take on added enthusiasm after the
first of the year, and make an eff
fort to put in baseball clubs in at
least three Valley cities.
And to make the circuit a compact
one, K~ingsville, Corpus Christi and
Beeville are proposed as the other
cities to form a six-club league.
George Bell, local business man,
believes, along with other local fans,
that a circuit of this kind, could be
made a going business concern, as il
is well known that professional base
ball is a business proposition, and
the league so run-comes put in great
shape financially.
First u franchise must be gotten
from the powers Of organized ball:
ball parks must be built, president
elected. secretary, and all the other
officers Of the league had.
Mission and McAllen both have
ball parks. For the last few years

Mission franchise. McAllen II in the

It takes only mention Of these in
dividuals or teams to quicken the
recollection of fine performances,
packed with excitement. Bobby
Jones, losing his bid for the national

Perkins as the great Georgian won
the amateur title for the fourth time
in five years. Meanwhile Walter
Hagen added TO the American mo-
nopoly Of honors on the links with
his third triumph in the British
open tournament since 1922.
Lost Track Prestige
France still holds the Davis cup
and the L. S. singles trophy also re-
poses on n Paris shelf for the third
straight time through the victory
of Henri Cochet at Forest Hills, but
Helen Wills swept through all wom-
ems opposition at home and abroad
for the second year in a row. In
addition, Lott and Hennessey, the
youthful Yankee tennis team, hung
up one of the years great perform
snces when they captured the T.. 5.

best teams Australia and France
could put on the field.
With the international angle con-
spicuous throughout the year,. the
field Of Olympic rivalry at Amster-
dam had its full share OF interest as
well as keen disappointment for
America. Ray Barbuti turned IN the
only Yankee flat race victory rs
Lord Burghley, Percy Williams OF
Canada, Nurmi, Ritola, Lowe and
others monopolized the spotlight.
The United States lost prestige on
the track and in other Olympic
sports, but the American swimmers
again splashed in front and the Cal
