signers in Philadelphia 60 years before That
was Sam Houston and he did it on the bat
tlefeld of San Jacinto on April q, 1886.
So it was only natural that Houston, like
George Washington, should become the first pres
ident of the new republic which he had helped
to establish. The capital of that new republic
was named for Stephen F. Austin, the "Father
of Texas" and by act of its congress in Deem
Der, 1886, blue flag with a single golden star
in the center became its official flag.
Houston also became the first governor of
Texas when it entered the Union in 1915. In
the addition of Texas to the Union by annexa-
ton lies another of its claims to being unique
among the states. For Texas is the only one
which ever had the right to subdivide itself into
several states If it chose to do so.
The treaty of annexation provided "for the
future formation in the said territories of at
least two states and If more than two, then four
states. and If more than four then six states, to
be hereafter admitted into the United States of
America" The reason for this wording lay in
the slavery dispute which was beginning to be-
come acute at that time. If the new state was
to be divided, there should be an even number,
half slave and half free so that the balance of
power would be kept even Since the War Be-
tween the States ended forever the question of
slavery it also virtually ended the possibility of
Texas being subdivided, although many believe
that the Lone Star state still has that right.
Not only did that war put an end to one of
the factors which made Texas unique but it also
added another to the number of flags which
have flown over Texas For four years the Stars
and Bars of the Confederate States of America
was the flag to which the Texans swOre al
legiance, then once more Texas was back in the
ULionr under the Stars and Stripes.
Now, Texas, looking back over her 100 years
of history, is proud of them all-the flag of
Spain, the lilies of France, the banner of Mexico,
her own bright Lone Star emblem, her place on
the symbol of the Lost Cause" and her star in
the field of blue along with the At others. For
they all speak of the glorious history that has
been hers. - .sys+eS

NO UPSETS
The proper treatment
for a bilious child
THREE STEPS
70 RELIEVING

ANY mother knows the reason
Awhen her child stops playing, eats
little, is hard to manage. Constipation.
But what a pity so few know the.
sensible way to set things right
The ordinary laxatives, of even
ordinary strength, must be carefully
regulated as to dosage.
A liquid laxative is the answer,
mothers. The answer to all your
worries over constipation. A liquid
can be measured. The dose can be
exactly suited to any age or need.
Just reduce the dose each time, until
the bowels are moving of their own
accord and need no help.
This treatment will succeed with
any child and with any adult.
The doctors use liquid laxatives.
Hospitals. use the liquid form. If it
is best for their use, it is best for
home use. The liquid laxative most
families use is DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup
Pepsin. Any druggist has'it.

of civil liberty, the ever-ready minions of power,
and the usual instruments of tyrants-when, long
after the spirit of the Constitution has departed,
moderation is at length so far lost by those in
power that the semblance of freedom is
removed and the forms even of the Constitution
discontinued, and far from their petitions
and remonstrances being regarded, the agents
who bear them are thrown into dungeons, and
mercenary armies set forth to force a gov
eminent upon them at the point of the bayonet
when, in consequence of such acts of mall
feasance and abduction on the part of the gov
eminent, anarchy prevails and civil society Is
dissolved into it's original elements-in such
crisis the first law of nature the right of preser-
walton, and the inherent and inalienable right of
the people to appeal to first principles and take
their political affairs into their own hands in
extreme cases, enjoins it as right toward them
selves and sacred obligation to their posterity,
to abolish such government and create another
in its stead calculated to rescue them from i'm
pending dangers and to secure their welfare and
happiness
After listing their grievances Is In number,
they concluded their work with this statement:
"The necessity of self-preservation, therefore,

powers of the people of Texas, in solemn con-
vention assembled. appealing to the judgment of

with all the rights and attributes which properly
belong to independent nations and. conscious of
the rectitute of our intentions, we confidently and
fearessly commit the issue to the decision of the
supreme arbiter of the destinies of nations"
Thus the Republic of Texas came into exist
ence. But the revolution in Texas did not end
on that date any more than any earlier revolu-
ton ended on July A, 1776. 1t remained for an

fans from coast to coast, patrons of Americas s deluxe theatres and dance lovers everywhere, the Lunceford orchestra comes to Waterbury while hundreds of other ballrooms try and try to book this sensational orches- tra.
 The rise of Lunceford to fame in radio rivals that of Rudy Vallee who bounced to national prominence in the course of two years. It was in the month of January 1884 that Jimmie brought his orchestra in to New York's famous Cotton Club. Six months of nightly broadcasts and a six months tour of bathrooms through the Eastern half of the United States was necessary to sat- isfy the fresh demand for Lunce- ford rhythms. In January 1885, the band began tour of deluxe the- aters. The amusement world was startled when Jimmie and his band grossed $3700 in one night at Old Orchard, Maine in September. 1884. Last season he went back and du- plicated the record.
 The Lunceford orchestra became the sensation of the century and still is. Everywhere Lunceford rec ords are in demand. At Cornell university's prom he outdrew Casa Loma by HOO people.
