NAVASOTA, Texas, Jan. 17—
That all Texans should unite in urg-
ing upon the Legislature adequate
provisions for State participation in
the Centennial celebrations of 1936
is the view taken by the Navasota
Daily Examiner, which says edit
orially: ’
“The Daily Examiner is hopeful
that the next Texas
will deal with the 1936 Centennial
in a different way from that of
the last called session, which fin-
ally passed over that question with-
out doing anything. Texss is the
largest and greatest of all States
in the Union; has resources that
are varied and limitless; and pos-
sesses a history peculiarly differ-
ent from any other one of the
good old U. S. A. The Centennial
celebration has long been discussed
and the people have said by their
votes that it is desired. They have
authorized that it be held.
“Much opposition has sprung up
from different sections I of the
State, and there seems to be a de-
Termined effort on the part of some
to defeat the celebration. Much of
this opposition seems to be born
of prejudice, or jealousy,' while
others claim to be holding back be-
cause of the expense . . .
“The celebration will cost some-
thing, hut if handled in a business-
like manner it can be made to pay
its way and will make business for
Texas people while it is in progress.
“Texas is deserving of the fin-
est celebration that can be staged.
We have a history that is writ-
ten in blood by men who placed
character above dollars. And now
we have rounded out the hundred
years of development, can we do
less than put our best into a His-
torical Centennial Celebration of

Health Officials
Drge That Meat Be
Cooked Thoroughly
Austin, Jan. L7.—Now that the
winter season is here and pork and
pork products are more freely used,
warning against insufficient cooking
of these is given by Dr. John W.
Brown, State Health Officer.
Trichinosis is caused by a parasite
in the muscles of pigs. This para-
site may occur in large numbers
in infested meat. '
The disease is rather extensively
distributed among hogs, and all
pork should be regarded with sus
picion unless treated to kill the
larvae. Freshly killed pork is more
dangerous than meat that has been
kept in cold storage for some time
because parasites tend to die out
during prolonged storage at low
temperatures. Other processes of
preserving meat also will tend to
kill the trichinella larvae. No method
of meat inspection will invariably
discover the presence of this para-
site. Thus safeguard against the

"Ladies and Gentlemen.*’ he be-
gan. "there’s been some mistake. I

Barnum. dazxled by what he be-
lieved to be the birth of a great
love, courted Jenny Lind blindly
and devotedly.
Barnum Love-Blind
Because she accepted his awk-
ward adulation with amusement
and toleration, poor Phine&a be-
lieved that ahe accepted him. He
even came to believe that she re-
turned hin love. It was a grotesque
spectacje. but-doomed to a sorrow
ful (Umax.
Jenny Lind's personal preference
was for B. Walsh. He Waa a man
of manners, of courteous urbanity,
while Barnum was a huge, lumber-
ing elephant of a man. Lind’s
amusement for Barnum was not
untinged with contempt. ___ _
But Walsh realized what her re-
buffs meant to Barnum. and re-
membering all Phineas had done
for him, pleaded for him.
As a magnificent gesture on
Lind's behalf. Barnum planned a
great party All the elite of New
York was invited to attend. But he
did not think of inviting Nancy.
She was in tears when told
her she was not to be present.
Austin, Texas, Jan. 17.—(Capital
i/.ation of new companies granted
charters in Texas during Decem-
ber totaled $4,323,00<», an increase
of 238 per cent over November ami
330 per cent over December a year
ago, according to the University of
Texas Bureau of Business Research.
The number of new corporations
totaled 122, against 104 in Novem-
ber and 94 in December, 1933.
For the entire year 1934, how-
ever, total capitalization of the
new corporations aggregated only
$22,380,000, a drop of 21 per cent
from that of 1933, and the total
number of new companies was 1 ,-
441, a decline of R per cent from
the year before, the Bureau’s re-
port said. These facts tend to em*
phasize the rising trend 4n new

Thorough cooking may be counted
upon8 to kill the parasite.
Trichinosis results from eating
uncooked pork, usually in the form
of sausage, that contains the larvae.
There i* often danger of not main- un«n. her eves mqlarst the CRouchT
of parting -from Walsh, was Irving
to console Phineas. who in turn was
taining sufficient temperature to
thoroughly cook the meat. Outer
portions of the meat may appear
well cooked while the inner part
-hr quite" rare and will retain rir-
living parasites.,, ^specially is this
true if the piece of pork is quite
thick. Cases of trichinosis have oc-
curred from eating just such in-
ner portion* of under cooked pork.
Pork with the slightest red tinge
may contain the living parasite.
Pork should he cooked until all
color disannears through the piece
of meat, this Is thejOnly safeguard
against trichinosis.

protesting against being dragged

"My friend Walsh will turn up
with something new if you give him
the chance," Harnum pleaded.
“It'a your friend Walsh that got
you into thin." snapped Nancy
"But you can’t blame him,” the
faithful Ellen defended.
"It’s just what you could expect
from a drunken scoundrel."
"But he &in:t drinkin’ no more,"
assured Barnum.
It was just at this point that B
Walsh arrived at the house—drunk’
But he had more than liquor ac-
companying him. The members of
the household almost had to look
twice to believe their eyes, as they
gaxed at hia companions. They
were ao tiny they looked hardly
large enough to be out of the
cradle. And yet they were obviously
full grown.
“Meet General Tom Thumb and
Mrs. Tom Thumb," Walsh mumbled
“The smallish people in—hie!—
captivity."
There was no doubt of the
genuineness of General Tom Thumb
or tots wife, Lavinia. Nancy was
defeated again.
Once again the museum housed
crowds. And Barnum added to his
collection of human curiosities.

she still yearned for the simple and
pious life on a Connecticut farm.

But the subject came to a head
when General T°m Thumb came to
call. He had been entrusted with
the job of npokesman by other
members of the Barnum side-show
troupe, who accompanied him. They
forced their way past the interven-
ing sefvaniM and stormed into the
room where Barnum was standing
shame - facedly watching Nancy’a
distress.
"What are you folks doing here?"
Barnum demanded, glad of a chance
to escape from Nancy’s tearful re-
proach. "Why aren't you back at
the museum?"
"I guess the museum can get
along without us.” General Tom re-
plied bitterly. "There aren't enough
people coming in to matter."
Nancy's sobs gave way to alarm.
"Why didn't you tell me business
was bad, Henry?" she chided.
General Tom gave Barnum no
chance for excuse
"Because he didn't know. Mrs.
