The cost, he explained, would be a
severe loss of markets abroad, since
South America is more Of competitor
than O customer of the United States.
The nations on that continent take only
10 per cent of this country's farm ex-
ports while the five countries Of Europe
and Asia that are most likely to be
involved in any future war buy more
than two-thirds Of total farm exports
from the United States.

signers in Philadelphia 60 years before. That
man 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 Decem-
ber 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 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
Iegiance, then once more Texas was back in the
Unionr 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 Al others. For
they all speak of the glorious history that has
been hers.

or 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 so far from their petitions

their political affairs into their own hands in

generation-which is really a dis
ease. When an excess of fat be-
comes deposited on or in the body
the first symptom is an increase in
the rate of breathing-a Slight
! breathleSSneSs. The breathing is
not only noticeable to the individ-
ual but can be heard by others.
The breathing becomes faster and
more noisy, even walking on the
level may cause breathleSSneSS and
walking upstairs becomes very diff
cult. There is usually an increased
thirst, more water or other liquids
are taken, which of course means a
further increase in weight.
Sometimes Mind Is Alert.
Digestion may remain good, sleep
urgent, and there is likely to be
an enlargement of the liver and
heart due to the extra work put
on these organs. In some cases,
strange to say, the mental alertneSs
seems to be as keen as ever. AS
has been mentioned before, very fat
individuals do not resist such dis
eases as pneumonia and bronchitis
very well, and are considered poor
risks" for operation. 80.
Now, putting on fat is not usually
a sudden process, although after
some ailments or change in GER
tain glands fat accumulates quickly.
AS accumulating fat, then, is a
slow process, taking months and
sometimes years, and the excess
fat is simply due to the fact that
more food is eaten than the body
needs; taking fat off, and prevent
ing it accommodating is just as sim
pie. 1t means just eating more and
drinking less every day.
The next step is that fatigue or
tiredness comes on with less effort
than when the weight was normal.
The extra weight the body has to
handle and the interference the fat
causes in the organs and tissues
brings on fatigue sooner.
Naturally as it is a burden" to
move around or take any exercise
fat individuals dislike more and
more to take exercise which, of
course, means a further increase in
weight. ....
How Fat AccumuIates.
AS the appetite remains good
there is no cutting down on the
intake of food, sleepineSs is felt,
which means more accumulation of
fat because even standing or walk
ing would use up some fat whereas
lying down allows, fat to accumu-
late.
However, if there is not too much
fat the individual is not really
sick; just a bit sluggish mentally
and physically.
