Why Not Let the Vets Have 1t?

On the oath Of August last. the people Of Texas by
q majority vote approved the return OF liquor 70 tne
etate. and the legislature is now engaged In framing
laws governing its sale under the constitutional
amendment then approved.
The election was won by the vets, although one
would hardly know 1t by following the legislature
and the liquor laws that have been introduced.
1t would seem that the drys, by attempting to frame
the laws that follow their defeat at the polls In Aug
ust. are committing q political blunder.
The election was won by the vets, why not let the
vets frame the regulatory laws governing the sale
OF LIQUOR? Then. II conditions prove as dire as nave
been predicted, the drys are IN the best possible
stratacc snot OF having said hands off" on all liquor
LEGISLATION. and the responsibility for conditions VIII
rest where IL belongs, on the victorious vets.

Opportunity Still Here

The Valley Is stiI the land Of opportunity.
There is st1n money to be made on Valley farms.
but those who are making 1t are not sticking to the
old methods nor to the old crops for their profits. not
while prices are down. at least.
Witness the activities OF that group Of Weslaco
farmers who participated in an experiment this past
summer, growing popcorn for q northern concern.
Probably all Of Us have wondered from time to time
II popcorn would grow down here all right, but few
Of us have tried it.
But this summer popcorn was grown down here on
q commercial scale. and those who grew 1t made
money.
A story in last Sundays Brownsville Herald told the
tale Of an average yield Of popcorn Of 1900 pounds to
the acre. sold to the northern popcorn outfit at two
and one-half cents q pound.
Gross returns of SS75 per acre for growing corn are
worthy OF anybody's and everybodys attention. es-
peciaIly when the average cost OF production runs
around SIS per acre.
With such q diversity Of crops possible. it would
seem that the farmer who plants a little OF this and
q little Of that still stands q chance Of making mon
ey, even In periods Of low prices.
Tkere are always the freak" crops to be grown, not
"a large acreages, but in small paintings. that are in
demand In the various and sundry markets Of the
nation.
We must depend upon the old reliable staples for
the bulk Of our paintings, but q little experimenting
now and then, done IN an intelligent manner and with
some knowledge Of markets, might help US out

It's Shocking, the Way
Tongue Can Burnl

Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association
and Of Hygeia. the Health Magazine
A hot tongue Is q nuisance In more senses than one
but the kind I mean is not the tongue that makes
q smart or ~satirical reply. It is instead q peculiar
sensation that occurs to q good many people, caus-
ing them q lot Of difficulty and giving the doctors
even more trouble In Its control
In a typical case. the person feels a burning and
singing sensation on the surface OF the tongue. No
special food seems to aggravate or start the condi-
ton. A careful examination OF the tongue may fail
to reveal any sort Of visible change.
Sometimes people who suffer from this sensation are
in actual misery. yet every kind Of treatment. short
Of large doses Of sedative drugs, fails to alleviate the
seem to have no effect.
A doctor recently reported the unusual experience
OF q woman who suffered from burning tongue for
more than seven years. Her case had been studied
thoroughly by any number OF men. who finally con-
cluded that the condition was largely mental.
Occasionally the woman felt that the burning was
accompanied by a metallic taste. An investigation
was made by this physician. who found that the ton
que was close in two spots in the mouth to amalgam
Filings, and on the other side there were three gold
inlays. as repairs for the teeth
Measurements we're made with a device. called q
AlA~L0~d44AA4CNIAB ~ ~@@N@~ $40
electrical current, and IL was found that there was
q distinct electrical current generated by the dis
similar metals, gold and silver.
The amalgam filings were replaced with gold and
the burning Of the tongue promptly Disappeared
$50
Some studies made in 1892 by q physician indicated
that dissimilar metals in the mouth viii develop this
type OF current. and that It IL sometimes associated
with the appearance Of sores on the tongue and Of
other disturbances IN the mouth.
In cases, therefore, where burning tongue persists
Il Is well TO have a special examination made to find
out whether dissimilar metals are present In the IN
laws OF the teeth and whether a current develops
between them
IN many instances. however. the burning sensations
in connection with small assures OF the tongue, or
canker sores, are neurotic. Canker sores are often
associated with digestive disorders and sometimes ap-
pear as a result Of sensitization to certain foods.
Persistent sores Of this type may lead TO a fear OF
cancer. Therefore, it Is advisable that these condi-
lions be properly treated. to bring about healing as
soon as possible.

at Willmar and left his car park
ed on the street. While walking
across the street, he kept to the
right of a large bus, only to step
into the way of a car. He was
thrown several feet onto the side
walk, sustaining several severe
bruises and a bad cut on his head.
The driver of the car gave him
medical aid and took him to his
destination where he was cared
for by relatives. Saturday he was
able to be moved home and is now
