In the Interest of Tourist Trade

The Valley with its myriad OF attractions Is not
drawing as many tourists per year as Corpus Christi.
A broad statement but one which seems 70 be gen
orally accepted as true.
Two explanations occur.
The first is that Corpus Christi has svertised her
self in a paid newspaper campaign This campaign
has brought results
The other Is that Corpus Christi is situated direct
" on the bay. making fish and bathing facilities
handy. The fact that the Valley is 200 miles further
away may enter into this second reason.
Corpus Christi for TIE past few years has made a
systematic effort to attract tourist trade. That eff
fort K bearing fruit out OF all proportion to its cost
in dollars and cents. Corpus Christi folk will verify
this.
This is. no effort to detract from the attractions
OF Corpus Christi, for its is a splendid place to spend
an enjoyable vacation. summer or winter. There Is
tourist travel enough for all and the Valley need not
fear that Corpus Christi will consider we are trying
10 attract her rightful trade.
The larger the number OF tourists coming 10 the
Valley ard South Texas. the larger will be the harvest
for Corpus Christi.
Florida and California are attracting thousands Of
tourists for every one who finds his or her way 70
South Texas.
The climate Of the Valley. summer and winter,
will compar ~favorably with that Of either famous
tourist center.
Climate aside. what is the next most potent factor
which causes people to visit Florida and California?
water. watcr-salt water-for bathing and for fish
tnr.
The Valley has as fine a beach as is available any,
where. not excepting Miami or Long Beach. Fishing
grounds compare favora5lv. Witness the feat Of Bill
vcrt. noted ANGLER. who landed a tarpon here last
week.
5ut the fishing and bathing facilities must be I'm

10 which she is entitled.
The Boca Chica road must be raved all the way q
the beach. This road was included rs che Of the
principal and first designations Of the Brownsville
commissioner precinct before the s50000O0 road bond
issue was voted Expenditure % the entire issue with

constitute 4 breach OF trust.
Other roads are mportant-especially the military
highway-but Boca Chica must be accessible IS DAYS
per year, rain or shine. This viii provide some or the
attractions which tourists demand.
An advertising campaign should follow competition
Of the road 70 inform the tourist that surf bathing is
available az least seven months a year.

Health and Right Living
BY ROYAL s. COPELAND, VI. ID.
Former Commissioner OF Health

You cannot imagine that a stream
flowing a long distance through
field and forest could do otherwise
than pick up leaves and twigs. bits
of plants. and all sorts or rubbish.
More than this. II diSsolves from the
soil tiny paticles OF this mineral
and that. It picks up traces OF
every soluble substance.
The blood stream does the same
thing. AS ID flows through the body
II cissolves this and that material.
It takes up many elements, really
waste substances, no longer of val
ne 70 the tissues. Some of these
are chemical agents and they may
combine in the blood TO form new
substances.
IL is not well 70 have the blood
charged with agents which are not
useful and which. indeed, may be-
come harmful. To get rid Of all
such material, Nature planned the
kidneys.
These organs. two in number. have
an important. a vital function to
perform. II is their duty to filter
out of the blood this waste mate
rial.
In reality the kidney Is "A wonder
full filter. or rather a bundle or mi
croscopic filters. They are tiny
tubes, each about an inch long 70
take the ashes and clinker away
from the furnaces.
It Is amazing how many or these
little tubes there are-about four
million. equally divided between the
kidneys. II is said that II they
were Strengthened out and placed
end to end. they would make a pipe
line fully rs miles longl
Perhaps Id is impossible even IN
approximate the quantity OF solid
material taken out Of the body by
these filters. II is estimated that
an ounce a day. or nearly n ton tn
a long time-time.
Not all the material we take with
our food is actually used by the
body. Some of IL is unsuitable and
Is rejected as fecsl matter. More
OF IL is made use Of and. becoming
worthless, Is thrown into the blood
stream.
You car see that the blood serves
a double purpose-it carries nour-
ishment to the body and also dis
poses Of the wastes. A river may
carry coal barges to supply a great
factory with fuel. Likewise. IN car
ries scows. The arrangement Ks not
quite so simple as this. but there IS
no occasion TO 60 into a lot Of de-
tail.
The blood must be kept pure. n
must be cleansed of the waste in or
der that IL may be free TO convey 20
the eager cells the food required for
their nourishment and the energy
producing substances TO carry on
their work.
The most important ar the waste
substances rs known AS urea. This
Is carried away with the urine I'M
less something ~interferes with the
kidney function. In that event the
urea accumulates in the blood. pro-

Washington Letter
By HERBERT c. PLUNINIER

WASHINGTON. June 6-This special session or
congress has upset plans that Rep. George II. Tink-
ham Of Massachusetts, has had for something like two
years.
He was prepared 20 70 tiger hunting again this
summer. It has been almost two years now since he
came back from the orient empty handed. 50 far as
tigers are concerned. Ever since he has been makinz
plans to try and bag at least one. The king Of Abys-
sinia had invited him to come over this summer as
his guest.
But the president called the law makers to WASH
ington. and Mr.. Tinkham had to cancel all of his
plans. He thinks he will be lucky if he can find time
to slip away to Europe the latter part Of the summer.
And his tiger hunt must wait at least until next year.
%
TRAvELED GENTLEMAN
Representative Tinkham probably IS the most
widely travelled member Of congress. Only one other
Ernest r Alderman Of New Jersey-can approach
the Massachusetts mans mileage record. Already he
has been more than 100000 miles outside the confines
Of the United States. He started his globe circling
while a student at Harvard and has been at il ever
since.
He is a bachelor and wealthy. Also. he IS a big
game hunter of the first water and his quest Of thrills
OF the globe.
There Is ample proof Of his skill as a hunter. The
walls Of his office on capitol hill are decorated with
the heads Of animals he has shot. His apartment at
one Of the smaller hotels in Washington literally is
damned with trophies OF these hunting expeditions.
The Smithsonian institution has been the recipient
Of valuable African specimens brought down BY Mr..
Tinkham's gun.

Increase Value of Farm
Timber by Cutting Plan

A cutting of farm timber should
take only the trees most profitable
for lumber and those that should come
out for Improvement Of the stand. 1t
should leave standing. for cutting
some years later. well-thinned stand
Of rapidly-growing poles" and sap
ifngs. w
Not all Of tn profit from the farm
woods comes from the care and pro-
lection bestowed upon it during the
growth of the trees. A very apprecia-
BILE share of the profit comes from the
manner in which the crop of timber
Is cut.
The total value Of the lumber in a
26-inch tree is SO times that of the
lumber in a 9-inch tree, although the
volume is only 10 times as great.
