DAUGHTERS OF
TEXASHEROES
ME IN SESSION
To Keep Memory Fresh
Dominant Note of
31st Convention.
MRS. FISHER PRESIDES
Program Includes Unveiling
of Bronze Memor-
ial Tablets.
"Lest W* Forget” was the dominant
note of the addresses of welcome de-
livered at the session of the thirty-first
annual convention of the Daughters of
the Republic of Texas at the opening
session at 10 o'clock Wednesday morn-
ing at the Monger hotel with the ven-
erated president Mrs. Rebecca J. Fish-
er of Austin presiding. Thia theme
was definitely impressed upon the con-
vention by the vocal solo. "The Reces-
sional. sung by Miss Josephine Horner
accompanied on the piano by Mrs. L.
A. Meadows which was a fitting crown
to the tribute rendered by the various
speakers.
Following the address of welcome on
behalf of the city by Mayor O. B. Black
the welcome of the business interests
of San Antonio was extended by
Thomas Etberedge on behalf of the
Chamber of Commerce in his address
Mr. Etberedge declared that the women
of Texas were the ones who carried the
ideals and traditions of the past over
into the present and that the women
were the guardians of those principles
of honor and integrity that character-
ised the lives of the men and women
who were the pioneers of this state.
Sau Antonio Welcome.
"The Chamber of Commerce has wel-
comed hundreds of groups to this city.
There have been the formal welcomes
to groups that are to the business in-
terests of San Antonio” Mr. Etberedge
declared. "There have been some ad-
dresses of welcome that we have been
compelled to make but there is another
class of welcome that we extend to some
—the welcome a mother gives to her re-
turned child. That is the welcome we
extend to you. not because we are com-
pelled tn not because of any influence
yon may have on the commercial wel-
fare of San Antonio but because the
traditions of Texas are especially near
to the hearts of San Antonio citizens.”
Frying that the Daughters of the Re-
public of Texas marshal their forces
and with their traditions back of them
wage the fight for enlightenment today
Mrs. Wheeler Pettus welcomed the
Daughters on behalf of the federated
clubs of San Antonio. The greatest
battle is yet to be fought Mrs. Pettus
said and the Daughters of the Republic
with their wealth of ideals and tradi-
tions were best fitted to lead the forces
of light against the forces of darkness
and ignorance.
As president of the largest and most
active chapter.of the Daughters of the
Republic of Texas Mrs. Cyrns B. Lu-
cas welcomed the convention of the city
in the name of the Alamo Mission chap-
Mrs. Fisher Responds.
Response to these addresses of wel-
come was given by Mrs. Rebecca J.
Fuber the venerated and respected
state president. She extended the ap-
pre":ation of the Daughters to the citi-
sens of San Antonio and Texas for the
heartiness and promptness with which
they had assisted the chapters in their
undertakings. She urged that the
Daughters maintain their self-imposed
duty of bringing the ideals of an older
generation over into the newer genera-
tions.
The morning program opened with an
invocation by Bishop Johnston and
dosed with a benediction by Mrs. Fish-
er. An interesting part of the program
were the two vocal selections by Mies
Josephine Horner. "The Recessional"
by Kipling and "The Flag With but a
Single Star” written by Mrs. Nettie
Houston Bringburst.
Preceding the luncheon given the
Daughters by the Wedneeday Luncheon
Club at the St Anthony hotel a num-
berofroutine reports were read. Read-
ing at reports will be continued Wed-
gaedey afternoon.
Thursday morning following the busi-
*mb aesaion a memorial service will be

Makes Monkey Clothes
“Wanted—A Seamstress to make
costumes for monkey actors.”
That is the small ad Fred Beckmann
manager of Wortham World's Best
shows ran in a newspaper when he
wanted some monkey costumes made.
Myrtle Moore one of the most widely
known monkey trainers in the country
saw it. First it gave her a laugh and
then it got her a job.
Miss Moore is now with the Wortham
shows in San Antonio. She took the
contract to make the monkey suits.
While working on them she became at-
tached to the simians. From seamstress
for the actors she a trainer. She has
been remarkably successful. Miss Moore
maintains that monkeys have a spoken
language. She can sit with her back
to a lot of monkeys and by the noise
they make she can distinguish the mood
in which the monkeys are.
She says the sounds they make for
food water curiosity fear and con-
tentment are plainly discernable to her.
The picture shows her putting a run-a-
woy monkey on parole. The expression
on the monkey’s fsce shows be is being
scolded.
The Wortham shows are now on
Main Military and Haymarket plants.
They dose their engagement here Sat-
urday night
held during which the memorial ad-
dress will be delivered by Mrs. H. M.
Newton historian. Friday morning the
ten bronze tablets to the heroes of the
Alamo will be unveiled with appropriate
ceremonies.

YOU CAN'T TRUST
CALOMEL IT ILL
It’s Quicksilver Salivates
causes Rheumatism and
Bone Decay
The next dose of calomel you take
may salivate you. It may shock your
liver or start bone necrosis. Calomel is
dangerous. It is mercury quicksilver.
It crashes into sour bile like dynamite
cramping and sickeniug you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
If you feel bilious headachy consti-
pated and all knocked out just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dod-
son's Liver Tone for a few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and
if it doesn’t start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick you just go back and get your
money.
Don't take calomel! It can not be
trusted any more that a leopard or a
wild-cat. Take Dodson's Liver Tone
which straightens you right up and
makes you feel fine. No salts necessary.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and can not salivate.
