day organized a statewide body to

Although declaring the United

accord in predicting the election OF
Hoover. Speakers asserted that the
democratic party would suffer tho
greatest defeat in its history and
predicted that more than 800 ,0O0

Perhaps the strongest indictment
OF the meetings was that made by D..
y. VI. Hunt OF Abilene, president or
McMurray college, who declared that
the "vilest insult ever flung in the
face Of southern people was the ac-
tion taken by the national democrat-
ic convention in Houston when IL
nominated Governor Smith" He not
only delivered a tirade against
Governor Smith and the democratic
convention, but scathingly denounced
Senator Joe Robinson. democratic
nominee for the ce-presidency.

sold his name 20 the party for the
sake Of wet nomination and "A wet

Treat all Colds Promptly
but be Careful not to
Disturb the Digestion
with Too Much Dosing

Whether the epidemic Of deep grippy
colds in this section is really the "fiu"
or not, every precaution should be
taken to prevent its further spread.
These attacks, which appear to be
much more severe than usual, are gen.
orally accompanied by headache,
burning eyeballs, and aching scalp,
and are often complicated by digestive
disturbances, But they begin, as
rule, with an ordinary cold.
Too often, these colds are neglected
until they have lowered the vitality
and permitted the lurking germs of
Influenza, bronchitis, or pneumonia to
"get a foothold."
The only safe plan is to attack
cold at the very start. A hot bath,
laxative, and a vigorous application of
Vicks VapoRub on the throat and
chest at bedtime, will usually break
up a cold overnight,
