Nothing is mirrored SO quickly
as human interest" declares Mrs.
Leona Ihrig. noted lecturer. home
economist and platform speaker,
who will conduct The Brownsville
Herald cooking school. which opens
Nov. 3 and continues for a total OF
five consecutive lectures.
MY contacts with thousands of
cooking school audiences convinces
me that the greatest inspiration a
lecturer can have Is the rapt atti-
tude of attention OF the part of her
listeners and particularly the pres
ence of notebooks in which they
are transcribing for future use the
data. which the lecturer at great
pains and expense has secured for
them.
I'm my schools l feel an equally
keen interest in my listeners. For
mality. insofar as possible. is ruled
from my lectures. / work in a
model kitchen preparing my owp
my own material and giving prac-
tical visual demonstrations of the
methods I prescribe. Recipes
would lose much of their fascina-
ton through a tiresome recitation,
without an active demonstration of
their practicability. Ingredients
involved become most interesting
when those ingredients themselves
are prepared before the very eyes
OF the women in attendance. and
they are given an opportunity to
sample the results obtained. l am
particularly happy, Mrs. Ihrig
writes. that SO great an interest
has been evinced In Brownsville.
and I am looking forward with
much anticipation toward making
1t one OF the best schools I have
ever conducted. The high Gull
nary standards of the community
as evinced by the intelligent inquir-
les sent in will be reflected in my

that / have to offer in this faScinat-
ing branch of activity"

Develop Texas for Texans
Is Slogan of Sterling's
Opponent

A new type OF campaign is being
presented TO the state by Col. w. z.
Talbot, republican candidate for
governor.
He is using the opportunity af-
forded him by the nomination in an
attempt TO arouse the public to a
greater use Of the states products;
TO further develop the states nat
ural resources and to discuss eco
nomic rather than political mat
ters affecting the states interests.
In none OF his speeches has the
Colonel attacked his political oppon-
ent. Ross Sterling of Houston. His
points include tariff on oil. for which
he Is waging a battle. the develop
ing OF home markets for manufac-
turers Of the state.
AS evidence that ne practices
what he breaches. he talks dressed
entirely IN cotton clothing and a
Texas manufactured hat. shoes tie
and all. His suit cost SIS. SASS of
which would go out Of Texas II II
were bought elsewhere. He says
Ethat If 100000 men would wear Tex
as made suits they would keep this
SLABS on each in the state, and
start prosperity for Texas.
Move To Texas
Colonel Talbot has been a resi-
dent OF Dallas for many years and

doing stenographic work for a coal
firm. and then his problem was to
live on the Sl.55 till pay day.
Talbot comes of pioneer stock,
dating back through Kansas. Some
time two generations ago a wagon
train from Kansas stopped in Albu-
querque New Mexico. and there set
tied the Talbot family, Mrs. Tai
bot. mother of Bill, being the first
white woman there. There Bill was
born. Not long afterwards the fam
ily moved 10 Texas where they set
tied in Cleburne.
Visited Valley
Following the experience with the
coal company Talbot sold automo-
biles, but couldn't stay IN the selling
line but became a sales organizer.
And then the war came. Talbot
got into the scrap quick, and took
his friends in with him. The whole
company was a part OF the most
famous Of all divisions, the Rain
bow, and headed for France.
He came out Of the war with the
title Of colonel. several citations and
the love of those e~x-service men
for their colonel. Whenever and
wherever he calls. the boys all ans
wer with a whoop. The clan gath
cred in Dallas recently TO rally
round "the boss" and endorse his
campaign.
The Talbots. Colonel Bill and Ma,
were married a few years before the
ewar. They have one small son. Bill
Junior. only six.
After the war, Colonel Talbot was
sent by Harry Seay and Clarence
inz OF Dallas 10 the Rio Grande
Valley to aid in developing that
section and promoting the new
growth that the whole Valley was
showing at that time. He did this
with such success that when ne
came back he was given complete
charge OF the sales end OF the
Southland Life Insurance company.
That Is where he is today, or
where he "a until the republicans
drafted him for their candidate.

Bobby pretended that he didn't hear this, What arc you doing away over, here. Jimmy Skunk ?" said he. My goodness. how fat you are, You must be getting a good living"
 Jimmy licked his lips and grinned. He knew that Bobby couldn't see him grin. Its a. fair living" said lie. "Yes, sir l can say that it's g. fair living"
 Where do you get it?" asked Bobby.
 An" replied Jimmy. That is the question-vhere do I get it ?'
 Why don't you invite -me to go with you?" inquired Bobby.
 "Because." replied Jimmy, you wouldn't dare go with me if I in- vited you"
 Just try me and sec" replied Bobby.
 Well" replied Jimmy, ''suppos- ing I invited you to go into Farmer Browns house."
 "Td refuse" replied Bobby. And you'd refuse if I invited you to go in there" ...
 Perhaps" said Jimmy, per haps.' And. grinning slyly, he ambled along toward the Old Or chard and home.

1 enough to talk about it. But the very next morning after you left the nurse told me that he was in better shape than he had been for weeks and 1 asked her if it would | hurt him to discuss necessary business matter. She said no, if were careful not to cross him in any way, so I didn't waste any time try | ing to get him to take back the be- quest to you. That would have been useless, and my preaching it would have upset him so that ] couldn't him."
 There was @ finality in her tone which dashed the secret hope I ha had that the famous artist would leave his provision for Lillian in his sisters hands instead of mine, and l resigned myself to listen to the scheme" which she had carried through to success in her eyes, at least. l reserved my own judgment, AS you already know" she went on, Robert has divided his estate, larger than anybody dreamed - be- tween Lillian and myself with the exception of one bequest of fifteen | thousand dollars to you outright for your charities l stretched the truth a bit when l talked to him, for l 1 told him that you would be glad to manage Lilliahs bequest for her. nd rN1o q he nrtl II | ties your own would give you, but that you dreaded the publicity which would necessarily be given his will. l pointed out to him that Mir. Underwood would be shrewd enough to guess the reason of the bequest, that it was really intended for Lil- lian, and that in this way he might be the unwilling cause of much en- barrassment to her and to you. Tn almost the same breath l suggested that he make some arrangement by which he coul1 transfer certain se- cCrties and moneys to you before his death, transaction which would need no publicity, and would accomplish his purpose equally as we'll"
 She stopped and looked doubtful ly at me.
 Tt was the only thing I could think of she said, "I do hope you think l did the right thing"
 I choked back my distastc for the plan, and spoke truthfully
 T do not see what else you could have done. You know that I am most reluctant to take this respon- sibility. but 1 cannot break the promise which your brother eXacted of me when I did not know whether he would live to hear me make the promise. I dreaded the publicity Of the will infinitely. With that elin1i- mated. I shall do my best to carry out Roberts trust. And I think you have managed things wonderfully I; is really the only solution"
 Mrs. Cosgrove rose, with relief in her face and eyes.
 Will you come with mo now to Robert?" she said He wishes to give you the papers himself and tell you about his wishes for Lillian"

B1ght's Disease

bItSHt 5 blStuSt
 Bright's disease is a disease of the kidneys. It is so called after Dr. Richard Bright, who, about one hundred years ago, described the disease and indicated certain of it's clinical signs.
 Nephritis, which is the technical name for Bright's disease, and which means an inflammation of the kidneys, is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Little, if any, progress has been made in combating this dis ease, probably because it is partly the result of the tear and wear, particularly the tear of life, and for most of us. despite an increase in leisure time. life is more strenu- ous than it was for our forefathers.
 Nephritis may be acute or chron- ic. It's causes are many. In all cases of nephritis, the kidney tis- sues are inflamed. They undergo change and destruction. If the de- struction is extensive. life may be endangered. If slight. the patient may recover and feel no effects.
 Nephritis may be caused by poi sons, such as mercury, carholic acid, turpentino, alcohol, and the like. It may also result from acute or chronic. infections affecting other parts of the body.
 Tonsillitis and infections of the throat. scarlet fever, syphilis, blood infections of the suppurative. or pus producing types, may all give rise to nephritis as a compli- cation.
 Nephritis is a serious condition demanding expert medical handling. With good medical supervision. the kidney damage may be kept down to a minimum and the sufferer en- abled to live with but few restric- tions.

MAKE TIT YOURSELF:

Practical pretty and likely to be appreciated as Christmas gifts are pair or two pairs of toe pads for party slippers.
 They smooth out the wrinkles that dancing make, hold the slip per in it's pristine shape and do not stretch the shoe or curve the counter the way the arching wood en kind do.
 You can cut pattern from the sole of party slippers, allowing more width which will be taken up when the pad is filled. Made of pink, blue or other pretty vel vet. or satin, figured silk or of rib- bon. You make an identically cut top and bottom of each, stitch them wrong side out all around the toe and outer side, leaving the top open. The trick is to get them full enough to hold out the slip per. Turn right side out. stuff full of cotton, kopak, sand or en- ory and blind hem the top. Over this seam you can frill lace, put b gold cord or ruffled ribbon.
 These toe pads take little mate. rial, are not hard to make and are one of the most useful of little gifts.

Mrs. CosgrOye Outlines Her New
 Plan to Assure No Publicity ill
 Robert Savarin's Request to
 NIadge and Lillian
 My conjectures as to the solution Mrs. Cosgrove had found to the problem presented by Robert Saw arin's bequest to me, filled my mind during the whole of 7journey to Kingston. Though, I, had had no sleep since before Mary's dance - for l had changed my clothing di- rectly I had come back from the telephone and had trayeled to Wee hawken that 1 might be sure Of catching the earliest train --l found that l had not the slightest desire for slumber Neither did I see much of the marvellous winter landscape of the Hudson as it spread out be- meath the tall windows. All my at tention was focused upon the single question: How had she managed it?"
 I had no time to think of any thing, however. once I had reached Kingston. Efficient MT. Train was as the car steps before l had begun to descend them and had hustled me into his car before l had time to greet him properly.
 Well just stop at the house for a bite of breakfast" he said tenta- adamant.
 Mrs. Cosgrove is expecting me for breakfast" I said. and l sim ply must get up there as soon as possible"
 All right. Youll get there sooner than that" he retorted with a grin. and stopped only for a single ques- tion before starting the engine.
 Have you timetables of both the West Shore and the New York Central roads," he asked. You know you may be able to make bet ter connections by taking the ferry over to Rhinecliff and catching d. Central train down.
 T have them both" I answered. and he beamed his approval.
 You're like a man, the way you think of things" he said. as if that were the highest acoolade he could bestow, and l bit back q resentful retort. for he, was sending the car along in, a most efficient fashion, and I reflected that his views upon women would not detract at all from his speed.
 Though the mountain roads were snowy the glare of ice which had so terrified me upon my journey down was gone, so that our pace vas not retarded, and we pulled up au the Cosgrove door well within the hour we had named. Mrs. Cosgrova had breakfast ready to put on the table, within ten minutes of our ar rival and she, with her big husband, Mir. Train and myself, discussed it swiftly and zestfully. Then MT. Cos grove, patently under his wife's in structions, took MT. Train out to the barn to look at the horses, and Mrs. Cosgrove brought her chair clGse to the one she had set for rv.

Glass Curtains Display New Lace Designs

You will be surprised if you think that any light, semi-transparent ma- terial will do for glass curtains. It will not. because glass curtains now are period decorations. If you tive in a colonial house, you naturally will need the new lace in sampler needlework pat terms which fairly breathe an early American atmosphere - Paul Re- were galloping on his famous mis- sion, Ben Franklin's sedan chair, Boston's meeting house. and the ''tea party" ship itself. are all woven into glass curtains.
 Also colonial is the American variation fof the ancient tree of life" design. This motif came from India and Persia and was adopted by Portuguese, French and English designers during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. From there it went west to America, where it was received with enthusiasm, if not accuracy.
 Many other new glass curtains dl . COloHidl III spIIil duu all dIt III natural color. They come in both panel and pair treatment.
 You will find little fringe on the new curtains, and none of the three bullion fringe popular before, Where fringe is used, it is longer and hand-knotted.
 For Georgian or late eighteenth century rooms, even the glass cur tains must keep the dignity of the period; sampler simplicity will no. do.
 But simplicity is necessary. SD the elaborate handmade laces O. the eighteenth century could not be proper source for the new eighteenth century" curtains. These have been found. however. in some charming tapestry and needle point designs.
 The Frightened Princess" a de- lightful needle-point of the period, lives agair in a glass curtain pat tern substantial enough to use with carved, oak and walnut.

It was dusk. Jimmy Skunk was : ambling along in that, easy-going fashion of his. Bobby Coon was following him. Bobby was glad that Jimmy was fat and that naturally he never hurries. for Bobby was him. self quite fat and he had no desire to hurry. Jimmy paid no attention to his back trail, H didn't once look behind him to see if he were being followed. You sec, Jimmy has so long been independent that 1t does not concern him much what other people do. So Jimmy didn't know that Bobby Coon was follow ing.
 Jimmy shuffled along down through the Old Orchard straight toward Farmer Browns house Bobby Coon followed. When Jim my reached Farmer Browns door yard he didn't stop; he ambled straight across that yard toward the back of Farmer Browns house. Bobby Coon, however, did stop.
 Where can that fellow be going now?" muttered Bobby Coon. Bow ser the Hound or Flip the Terrier is likely to show up any minute. Jimmy Skunk is crazy. Yes, sir; he's crazy.'
 Then Bobby happened 10 remem- Ter that Jimmy was afraid of no one. He remembered that everybody respected Jimmy's little bag Of scent. It probably was safe enough for him to cross that dooryard. It wouldn't however, be safe for Bob by to cross-1t feast, not if Bowse" the Hound or Flip the Terrier hap pened to be around.
 I'll just climb q tree here and see what I can see from there, /" muttered Bobby. and immediately acted on his own suggestion He found when ne got up in the tree however, that Jimmy Skunk hal disappeared. He had disappeared over there close to Farmer Browns house, and. though Bobby looked and looked, and his eyes are pretty good in the dark. he could see nothing of Jimmy. Bobby waited for some time. At last he heard q little noise down below him. Il rustling in the leaves. Hc looked down and could sec something white. He knew right away that Jimmy Sunk was ihcre. What he saw was the white part of Jimmy's black and white coat.
 Hello, Jimmy Skunk" said Bob by

Talks 'pG& &&z Pa,'ellts' n! }
Good Times By Alice Judson Pcale

Childhood is the time to accumu- late q fund of pleasant experiences to look back upon.
 Memories of the good times of childhood perform more than q pleasantly sentimental function.
 Only the adult who remembers lis childhood as a continuously happy experience punctuated by specially bright spots of pleasure is apt to be happy in his immediate present, whatever it may be, for i. is a known fact that people re- act to their present in terms Of their past.
 If the past has been good, they generally know how to sec the bright side of the present.
 For this reason the right to jov it as much one of the inalienable rights of childhood as is the right to food and shelter. Many parents take the business Of bringing up their children so seriously that they forget that there should be fun in family life.
 Parties and excursions, special family celebrations and rituals have their place in the mental hygiene of childhood.
 Christmas, for instance, should be for the child a really splendid event, rich in preparations in which he takes an intimate part.
 His birthday is his own special feast. It should never be passed without gay and fitting observance.
 The trips and jaunts, when families have good times together. give opportunity for the joyous companionship which the child of the busy modern home is all too likely to miss in his day to day experience.
 It is, of course, the spirit of such planned good times that makes all the difference, and it is father and mother who are responsible for supplying the warmth and spontan- city which makes children treasure aid remember them long years later as symbolic of the tone of their youth.
