I suffered continu ally with constipation, that brought on dizziness and sick headaches, and lost energy, strength and ■ weight. “I spent lots of money on medi cines and took treatment after treatment.

It also was officially an nounced that 24 men escaped and that only four of these had been recaptured. The remaining 20 were believed to be making their way toward the interior cf Mexico. The official account of the break 'as told today by Sr. Licenciado Emiliano Fernandez said that one of the prisoners, feigning sickness, asked to be let cut of a cell, in which there were six or seven other men. As the night gendarme opened the cell, the man suddenly caught him and threw him to the floor, wresting his gun away. Other prisoners were then set at liberav, and the band, out numbering the wardens in the jail yard, overnowered them and were soon out in the street and across the p’aza, where customs officials, attracted by the noise, met and en gaged them in a nitched battle in which unwards of 50 shots were fired. Customs men suffered no casualties as a result of the setto. Matamoros authorities said the break had nothing to do with the present revolt, but that the pris oners had seized on the present time ns most propitious for a break, knowing that in the oresent unset tled state of affairs they would less likely be followed. The wardens in the jail at the time of the escape are being held by authorities under charges of negligence. Reserve Officers To Take 250 Boys To C. M. T. C. Camp (Special to The Herald) HARLINGEN.

Arthur Seawall Aided AUSTIN, Tex., March 12.—— Battle lines were tautly drawn again today between advocates and op ponents of heavy reductions in automobile license fees. Senators opposed to the 50 per cent reduction approved by the house failed 5resterday to force postponement of the whole matter until the special session. They were victorious, however, in preventing another step in the program of sen ators favoring the drastic slash when a night session of the senate could not maintain a quorum. A house bill remitting taxes for a construction of a seawall at Port Arthur was brought up through unanimous consent and the argu ment on that measure consumed more than an hour before it was engrossed and then finally passed 21 to 5. The bill would provide for the remission of taxes for twenty years to one precinct in Port Arthur. It was estimated the esawall would cost about $3 000,000. ARREST MATAMQROS MAN Guillermo Padron of Matamoros was placed under arrest Monday night by border patrol officers, charged with carrying a pistol and was turned over to the sheriff’s de partment.
