It Affiliates with the Southern Tariff association. John Henry Kirbv is its president. It held a conference in the city of Austin. Commissioners of agriculture from the states of Mississippi. Arkansas and Texas were among the delegates It was called for the purpose of arousing interest in Texas in order that increased rates on Texas products not sufficiently protected un der the bill as passed by the house of congTcss might be brought about and in getting the senate to girt* protection to many important articles now on the free list. Signers of the call for the conference included the presidents of important farm organizations of Texas. There is a demand that long staple cotton snail be placed on the dutiable list. There is a demand that cotton seed products shall be placed on the list There is a demand that all products of the farm and garden and the ranch and the orchard where foreicn. competition is involved shall be protected by the placing of a tax upon the imports from foreign coun tries. This is a reminder that bulletin Nn. 111, issued by the Southern Tariff association, places on the honor list 20 democrats who voted for the republican lanf fmeasure. Twelve of the 20 are from the South. Florida has four delegates. Florida cast a solid vote for the bill The state next in line was Louisiana with 6 of its 7 congressmen voting for the measure. Texas ranks third with 2—Claude B. Hudspeth of the El Paso dis trict and Augustus McCloskey of the San Antonio district. This is the advice given by the author of the bulletin, “there is only one safe and practical way of getting protection, and that is to send representatives to congress who will vote for it.” Copra is on the free list. Long staple cotton is on the free list. It is admitted there are other southern products that did not receive adequate protection by the makers of the house bill. The house bill carried ft flexible provision which gives rate making power to the president, This is the bulletin comment: “Should this provision become a law it will he the end of low tariff arguments. It will effectively take the tariff out of politics by compelling any candidate for president to endorse and convince the voters that he stands for protection. With such rate-making power resting in the hands of the president, no farm er, laborer, or producer w ill take a chance on lowering the tariff by electing a low tariff president.'’ Are the democrats of the agricultural south, the wealth makers of the section, on the high tariff res ervation? Coming in July On July 16 an important state election will be field for voting on two proposed amendments to the eonostttution. One would increase the salary of the governor from $4000 to $10,000. Another would change the constitution so as to increase the mem bers of the supreme court from three .to nine. These are amendments which should appeal to the qualified voters There should be no opposition to their adop tion There should be a large vote cast Texas should move forward and the ballot is the thing on election day.

Before Vivian had a rhanre to babble wha* was on her mind about Dovie and her unwelcome visit Cuddles interrupted her. ‘Gotta bright idea—sweet thing How'd you like to go stepping?"

T fee! like running wild. Thought we might need a foursome. You need a little recreation, too Vivian had never been to a road house. or anything that smacked of a roadhouse, so she was thrilled. Ea^er for the adventure. When Cubby saw Vivian, swathed elaborately in a green wrap trim med with white fur. a close-fittine green and silver hat shining on her red hair, he was stunned with th° transformation "Mv gawd! Pipe the bird or paradise.” She threw he*- arms around his neck and gave him a resounding kiss on the cheek. Thank vou. mv love. I though4 I Jooked like a Christmas tree.

When thev got In the car she locked her arm in his as if he were a brother, and cuddled close to him. Cubbv understood all this—that he was like a brother and felt sud denly bitter. Ever since he could remember, he had loved her. But of course she would never know. Dick Addington, his friend, was dark and gray eyed—very hand some. And she could see that Cud dles was handing him all her Irish blarney. She remembered that it really was the first foursome party she had ever been on—and smiled to herself. It was hard to believe.

But she felt It w’ould spoil the fun. Rattle bang! Bumpty bump! Ev ery time they struck a bump in the road Vivian almost thought she had fractured her skull when she bounced nearly to the celling.

The har mony wasn't so good, but It. w'as music to her lonely ears Cubby had a soft Irish tenor that was very pleasant—and Cuddles a low sweet mezzo She remembered how Cubby used to sit on h*r porch and sing "Sweet Ladv. Make Believe I Won Your Hand” to her. But he was only the boy next door. It j wasn't romantic. The new road house was known as "The Whoopee.” It was the first of Its kind In (hat part of the country. Strains of a jazz band playing "That's My Weakness Now.” assailed their ears as they n«*ared the door. Looking in through the windows they could see that it was crowded. The waiter led them to a table , in the comer, away from the or chestra. "Mean. I'll say!” Cubby pointed to “Josh Billings. Kansas City Night Birds." as they put. themselves through all kinds of motions sug gestive of orchestrating. Cuddles ej’es were like stars. This was the life! “Come on. let's not waste a min ute. I haven't danced in weeks.” Vivian was out of place. She knew so little about dancing Bui she didn't care. It was Cubby. “Cub. I won't know how to dance. You'll have to teach me,” she grin ned. "I don't know how to make whoopee!” He took her wrap and stood looking at her. Her gown was one of Celeste's favorites—a grayish heavy crepe. It fit her like a glove, close to her slender body. She look ed like something that just came out of Paris Cubby nodded approv ingly : "I like your duds, Viv. You can wear 'em. I'll sav.” "Cubby, you are the sweetest boy I've ever known.” He put his arm around her for the first time when they began to dance. Vivian was surprised that she seemed to fall into step so eas ily. It was nothing at all. But it was because she was dancing with Cubby and wasn't self-conscious. It would make no difference how she stepped on him. It was glorious! Vivian's cheeks were pink and her feet beat rat-a tat to the music under the table when they sat down. Cuddles was never funnier. She had them screaming with laughter. Suddenly Vivian stopped and stared, her mouth open with surprise. Pat turned to see what had happened. Then she saw Kent and Dovie They were at a little side table, their heads clase together, sitting next to the wall. You could not have put a paper between them. Cuddles' eyes blazed. Of all the cheap tricks! Kent Johns, flaunting his old love In a public place for everyone to see. She stenned on Vivian's foot un der the table and. shaking her head leaned over smiling "Don't! He hasn't seen you yet. Have a good time. Make him think you don't give a hang. That will bum him up." Cubby wanted to go over and throw Kent out by the collar But even If the urge had gotten the better of him. it would have been impossible. Kent was almost twice his siie. Vivian, fascinated, watched the engrossed couple. When Dovie reached over and rubbed Kent's nose with her own snub little nose. Vivian laughed. Then her amusement turned to an ger She would show him! "Move before he secs us so he will think I'm with a strange man.” she suggested. "I'm going to pit on a little show myself." When Kent f1r*t glanced over to their table Dick had his arm over the back of her chair She leaned toward him her crern eyes laugh ing. and clicked her glass to his It was ginger ale.

He was a wonder ful dancer, and heaven protected h«*r Thev sailed over the floor as though they had been dancing all their lives. She was striking.

Kent hoped they could get out without Vivian seeing them. But she danced Dick near the door when they crossed the floor. Suddenly she stopped short, feign ing great surprise and embarrass ment.

It breaks your own rest and helps to make you more miserable than the trouble that caused the cough in the first place. There are many causes for thla symptom. It may be a reflex from some part of the body you would never think of as the seat of the real trouble. For instance, it may come from the ear. A plug of wax in the car canal may irritate a certain nerve that has endings in the dia phragm. Violent coughing results. A disturbance in the nose may produce coughing. Usually the trouble is in the throat or lungs. We expect it to be there. But there is such a thing as “stomach cough.” An attack of indigestion may excite it. You know the brain presides over the nervous system. There may be a disturbance in that organ, and one of its signs may be an obstinate cough. There are several varieties of coughs. It may be dry and per sistent. No mucus is raised, but in spite of all efforts to control it. the aggravating thing continues. It may be a, loose, “productive” cough. That is. the efforts brings up more or less mucus. This is the way it is apt to be towards the end of a hard cold. Some of the most stubborn and long-continued coughs I have ever met have come from an elongation of the uvula. This has acted as a foreign body in the throat. When you stand in front of a miror with a good light, you will ob j serve the finger-like bit of tissue, hanging down from the back of the throat. That is the “uvula.” If this structure is too long, it may tickle the back of the tongue. Tills is followed by cough and per hans an inclination to vomit. I Even now I have not exhausted the causes for cough. In children 1 the presence of adenoids may have nerststert cough a* a symptom. If vou look into the widely-opened mouth, you will see a mass of mate rial looking like boiled starch. This is pretty good evidence. when added to mouth breathing and snoring at night, that the child has ade noids. Enlarged tonsi’s mav cause cough. In younc or old this condition is ra»her distressing. Yet another tvpe of cough is due to hysteria. Excessive nervousness is responsible. There mav be con stant clearing of the throat and oc casional violent attacks of uncon , '."olable couching. The fpmiliar couching due to the -'ffects cf a cold is known to every body. It may be an earlv svmptom cr tv> one of the later effects. Of course there are more serious [! ai’ments that these that nrpduce roughing. In tuberculosis It is a ; i common svmotom. In the treatment as vou will see. we must first find the cause and re move that. PilH and powders. 1 'vwch svnins and lofenges mean 1ft i t’e till we have gotten at the origin | cf the cough.
