to buy another percent of that Enge-

Not long before that he was kicking"
because his Kevin.Sunburst Investments

''NO person who cannot afford TO

industry" we told her.
she was an aged woman who had
earned her livelihood by working as a
domestic.
She was the widow of a dry land
farmer who had a place near Kevin. The
land was a liability rather uhah an asset
since it is outside the oil sproducing
area as now known. The knowledge OF
the OIL business led her to want to put
her savings into royalties in Kelvin

SO we chose a property on which the
price was low. which had little pro-

It as producing ground, although it had
no large production. It was 1.-The best
risk we could find. at the time. and we
allowed her to invest, but not without
misgivings.
Our fears were not unfounded The

a period soon thereafter. Her royalty
checks dropDed off to a few cents a

we found satisfaction in the fact that her
investment was in oil in underground

otherwise. We saw her occasionally. She
had no more money to invest when Cut

wrong with her royalty-just economic
conditions which shut down the field.
Then came the use of acid in Kelvin

poured into wells which produced from
limestone formation. The acid eating

GALES BEATEN
BY CARDENAS IN
MEXICO DISPUTE
Ex-Leader Quits Capital;
Catholics May Receive
New Deal.
Copyright. 1885. by United Press


MEXICO CITY, June 17-Presi-
dent Lazaro Cardenas seemed TO
have emerged the unquestioned VIC
tor today in a dispute with Gen.
Plutarco Elias Gales, for years the
national leader.
In a statement Gales said that IN
criticising Cardenas' labor policies
he did not intend to intervene in
public affairs. He announced he
was leaving the capital area, and
leaving also full responsibility Tor
nublic affairs TO those who have
them in hand"
1t was predicted that as result,
after CardenaS' formation today OF
a cabinet completely loyal to him,
there might be an important ameh-
grafton of the religious situation,
which has brought thousands OF
Catholics out openly against the
government.
When Cardenas dismissed his
cabinet Saturday, there went with
it, as supporters of Gales, Tomas
Garrido Canabal, leader Of the
Fascist red shirts, and other men
most inimical to Catholics.
When 10000 Catholics demon
strated here yesterday they de-
rounced Gales and praised Car
denas, and police said they had gov
eminent orders not to break up the
demonstration.
CardenaS' new cabinet was ex-
pected to include only bare hand
ful of men who served in the previ-
Gus one.
Calais statement today was a
complete surprise. 1t was inter-
preted as a clear gesture Of peace
and as indicating his complete re-
tirement from politics for the pres
ent. 1t was regarded also as end
ing the dispute precipitated by his
criticism of Cardenas, also for the
present.

IF at Begins at 40?
Nonsense!" says Irene Rich
Lovely screen star
tells hocO she keeps
same slim figure she
had at sixteen

You don't have to let the pounds slip up
on you as you get older, Miss Rich told
me in recent interview. She gave me
her reducing secret, all backed UP by
scientific facts-and I'm going to pass
it along to you. 1t is so simple that at
first couldn't believe her. You just eat
sensibly, and drink WEIGH Grape Juice
every day, she says.
There's good common-sense behind
it, too. Welch's Grape Juice contains a
natural sugar-the same kind of sugar
your blood uses for energy. This sugar
is quickly and easily burned, and it
actually helps the body burn up fat.
Doctors and scientists have made nu-
merous tests and proved that this is 30.
Satisfies Craving for Sweets
At the same time, Welch's Grape Juice
satisfies that craving for sweets and rich
fattening foods. You eat sensibly be-
cause you want to-with none of that
self-torture that goes with most diets.
Best of all, the WEIGH way of reducing
is a natural way-without drugs of any
kind. Welch's Grape Juice puts color in
your cheeks, sparkle in your eyes
makes you youthful in appearance! You
feel bursting with pep and energy.
As proof, just take look at this new
photograph Of vivacious Irene Rich. She
SAYS she's over forty, but her face is as
fresh and lovely as a girls, and she
weighs exactly the same as she did when
she was sixteen.
The way she follows is to drink glasses
of Welch's a day this way. Simply mix
u Welch's with Il plain water: Drink a
glassful before every meal and one be-
fore retiring. Then eat sensibly and see
how fat gradually slips away while
energy stays upl Get WeIch's from your
grocer or druggist and start today.
You'll be glad you did.
Cool Summer Drinks
Now that warm weather is here, keep a
supply Of Welch's Grape Juice In the ice
box, and pour yourself glass whenever
you get hungry. It's good with ginger
ale, too. Or drink it as a cocktail, with
q dash Of lemon. It's very delicious.
