member Of his firm had gone to
Eagle Pass to look ove the situa-
ton there. He did not say IL any
shipments had been diverted from
Laredo to Eagle Pass.
Under new Mexican tariff laws
small passenger cars r passed
with a taxation of $50 pesos. The
rate formerly was 500 pesos for
small cars with heavier machines
in proportion.
Many shipments r reported be-
ing held in San Antonio, Houston,
and other concentration points,
awaiting the opening Of the Laredo

ed with orders to clear through
Brownsville or Eagle Pass 1t is be-
lieved much confusion would result.
Brokers would have to establish
temporary quarters and warerooms
in both cities.

/ of this medicine in my home Not

Continuing, Mr.. Handy said: For
months I suffered with my stomach

was. continually belching up a hot
sour acid and my chest and stomach
seemed as though 1t was on fire.
Lots of times my mouth would burn
and smart. Medicines I used did not
help me at all. I always had the
headache, bowels did not act regular
and my stomach continued with
those steady pains. My wife was
also in bad health, so said to her,
suppose we try bottle or so Of the
Herb Extract and see II 1t will help
us, as 1t has helped so many here at
nome. MY wife was OH u Cl6L at the
time, but as bad as our conditions
had seemed, this medicine helped US
from the start, the sudden action in
correcting stomach disorders was a
surprise to us and before we realized
it we were both eating and enjoying
food without any bad after effects
at all. I no longer have a sign of
my former troubles and feel better
in every way than have for years. |
AS for my wife she Is continually
talking about how much better she
feels and what relief 1t Is to be
free of those old aches and pains. |
One other thing want to say In |
praise of this Herb Extract is that |
it Is the best regulator we ever used |

Art Institute

Prints by two of the worlds
greatest artists are now on view on
the balcony of the art institute.
one group comprises eight etchings
by Rembrandt and the other, as
many woodcutS and engravings by
the great German, Albrecht Durer.
In these two groups of prints
which differ from each other so
greatly in feeling and style the ma
lures of the two men are revealed.
The all-embracing sympathy of
Rembrandt is felt in his elusive and
poignant light and shadow. The
less emotional humanity OF Durer
expressed itself by formal line and
severe style. The consummate mas
tery of technique which both ar
fists possessed offers to the student
of prints never ending sources OF
Joy and inspiration.
The etchings of Rembrandt are:
Christ and the Woman of Samaria,"
1.-THE Windmill" THE Pancake
Woman" abraham and Isaac"
self Portrait" Portrait of Clement
de Jonghe, - 1.-THE Agony in the Gar
den" and 1.-THE Descent From the
Cross" The eight prints by Durer
include five woodcuts and three en-
cravings on copper. The woodcutS
are: 1.-THE Annunciation," THE En-
try Into Jerusalem" 1.-TWO Angels
With Saint Veronlca's Napkin"
1.-The Flight Into Egypt" "The pres
entation.' The engravings are:
The portrait of Malancthon. the
Great War Horse" and the Small
War Horse"
