FISTS FLY ATT CONv E NTI0N IN HOUSTON TODAY
Religious Freedom Declar- ations Are Like Fire
 brand to Delegates
STANDARDS OF SO.
 STATES GRABBED UP
Permanent Chairman Rob- inson Unconsciously
 Starts Trouble

HOUSTON, Texas, June 27.- A quotation from Jefferson's re- ligious freedom declarations fell like a fire-brand into the Demo- cratic National Convention today and before the conflagration was over, half dozen fist fights rag ed around standards of Southern States which the paraders for Smith had sought to snatch up into the roaring, cheering par ade around the convention floor
 The convention then recessed until tonight at 7:15 o'clock.
 Night Sticks Used
 Police officers used night sticks freely in the melees that ragged about the standards of North Carolina, Alabama and Georgia principally but touched in lesser degree other delega- tions of the South who opposed the nomination for President of a Roman Catholic Governor. 2 Apparently no serious injin'fes were done.
 Stars Fireworks
 Senator Joseph T. Robinson, of Arkansas, permanent convention Chairman, started the battle by interpolating in his prepared speech two quotations from the tenets of Jefferson. It was when the Chairman quoted pronounce ment against imposition of any religious test for public office that the fuse took fire.
 A delegate from the Missis- sippi delegation, which was ex- pected by many Smith men to switch to the New Yorker as soon as it cast a complimentary vote for it's favorite son, Senator Pat Harrison, burst out in the center aisle bearing the Missis- sippi standard.
 Wild Parade
 At once a shouting and wildly demonstrating parade started.

Work of
Tax Collectors

Cameron county. the city of
Brownsville and the Brownsville
school district have evolved the most
efficient system of maintaining tax
records in Texas" was the comment
of 4. w. Archer Of Lyford, who was
in Brownsville Tuesday to pay his
taxes on county and city property.
81 have been paying taxes in Cam
eron county for is years, and each
year the system has been improved.
The county. city and school tax
rates are low, the valuations mod
crate, and the tax collectors deserve
commendation for the manner in
which they handle their work."
Mr.. Archer was somewhat sur
prised when he paid his city taxes
TO find that he had overpaid $4,000
on 1926 taxes and this AMOUNT was
entered to his credit. He did not
know he had overpaid. until the tax
collector called the item to his
notice.
"Your low tax rates, moderate
valuations ard the courtesy and eff
cheney of the tax collectors are a
splendid advertisement for Cameron
county and the city Of Brownsville"
Mr.. Archer said. "And another fea-
TURF is the fact that the average
taxpayer realizes he is getting full
value for his money"

DIR. Caldwell's 3 Rules
Keep You Healthy

DR.. Caldwell watched the results
OF constipation for Al years, and
believed that no matter how careful
people are of their health, diet and
exercise, constipation will occur
from time to time regardless OF how
much one tries to avoid it. OF next
importance, then, is how to treat it
when it comes. DIR. Caldwell al
ways was in favor of getting as
close to nature as possible, hence his
remedy for constipation, known as
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is a
mild vegetable compound. 1t can
not harm the most delicate system
and is not a habit forming prepara-
ton. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant
tasting, and youngsters love it. Il
does not grippe. Thousands of moth
ers have written US to that effect.
DIR. Caldwell did not approve OF
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hui
man beings TO put into their sys-
tenn. In a practice of AZ years he
never saw any reason for their use
when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin
will empty the bowels Just as
promptly, more clearly and gently,
without gripping and harm to the
system.
Keep free from constipation It
robs' your strength, hardens your
arteries and brings on premature
old age. Do not let a day 20 by
without a bowel movement. Do not
sit and hope. but 60 to a druggist
and get one Of the generous bottles
of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Take the proper dose that night and
by morning you viii feel like q diff
ferent person. Use Syrup Pepsin
