ROSE 31 ARIE BAIR
By ROY J. GIBBONS
Central Press tSaff Writer
CHICAGO. May 28—How would
you like to be able to write a check
for $1,000,000, girls?
Order your hose and gloves by
the dozen pairs, get your hats di
rect from the Rue do la Paix and
have a standing order for corsages
with the florist.
And that’s not the half of it.
i Miss Rose Marie Baur, 18 year?
old, can do all these trifles and then
some. As Chicago's richest girl,
worth $2,500 000, she can write her
own ticket for almost anything from
a trip to Europe to a husband.
Rose Marie, the daughter of Mrs.
Bertha Bcur. republican national
committecwoman from Illinois, in
herited two-thirds «f her father's
estate recently on reaching the age
of 18. She made the trip from
Bryn Mawr college in Pennsylvania,
where she is attending school, to
assume formal charge of the for
tune. left her when her father. Ja
cob Baur, the liquid carbonic mag
nate. died intestate nearly 17 years
ago.
A scratch or two of th» pen and
the money was hers to do with as
she pleased.
But Rose Mari? didn't seem to
think she was in any way different
from any other 18-year-old girl. Her
mother, who was once a stenogra
pher and later managed the affairs
of her husband's business, gave a
party In her honor. Not too large a
one. And Rose Marie started back
for Byrn Mawr.
She can still write the check, or
have any cf the other things. But
she prefers going back to school.
Friends declare she says that the
money might be lost or it might
even vanish. But in learning. Chi
cago's richest million-dollar heiress
appreciates that she has something
that can never be taken from her
and will always stand by* as the
I staunchest kind cf ally.

the required number of tubercular
tests to show her herd free from

AIRPLANE MAY
MOVE COTTON
Race In Moving First Bale
Likely to Bring Air
craft Into Play
(Special to The Herald)
SAN BENITO. May 29.—The race
for the first bale of 1929 cotton in
the world will probably start early
in June, and already the field is
being scouted to see who stands a
chance of getting out the first cot
ton.
Interest will center for a time In
the dry land sections, where some
growers planted cotton as early as
the first week in January in an ef
fort to get out the first bale.
The race for first tale honors
last year was one of the closest in
the Valley’s history, and honors
went to Edinburg when a bale of
cotton was strapped into the back
seat of a powerful automobile, and
taken to Houston in time to best
the train which left Mission two
hours ahead of the car.
The automobile was driven by
A. Y. Baker. Jr.
With the increase in interest In
aviation in the Valiev since last
year, and the fact that there are a
number of large planes In the sec
tion. it is considered very probable
that the first bale race this year
mav bring the airplane into play.
Twice in the past attempts have
been made to move the first bale
out of the western end of the Val
ley bv plane, but both attempts
failed.
Cotton throughout the Valley is
blooming heavily now. and recent
rainfall is expected to help in de
veloping the crop.

Dr. Caldwell’s 3 Rules
Keep You Healthy
Dr. Caldwell watched the result a
of constipation .for 47 years, and be
lieved that no matter how careful
people are of their health, diet and
exercise, constipation will occur
i from time to time regardless of bow
much one tries to avoid it. Of next
importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell al
ways was in favor of getting as
close to nature as possible, hence his
remedy for constipation, known as
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is a
mild vegetable compound. It can
not harm the most, delicate system
and is not a habit forming prepara
tion. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant
tasting. "anil youngsters love it. It
does not gripe. Thousands of
mothers have written us to that
effect.
Dr. Caldwell did not approve of
1 drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hu
man beings to pnt into their systems.
In a practice of 47 years he never
saw any reason for their uae when a
medicine like Syrup Pepsin will
empty the bowels’ just as promptly,
more’ cleanly and gently, without
griping and harm to the syatem.
Keep free from constipation! It
robs vour strength, hardens your
arteries and brings on premature old
age. Do not let a day go by without
a bowel movement. Do not ait and

hope, but go to a druggist and get
one of the generous bottles of Syrup
Pepsin. Take the proper dose that
night and by morning you will feel
like a different person.
Get a bottle today, at any drug
•tore and observe tfiese three rules
of health: Keep the head cool, the
feet warm, the bowels open.
