Declares Music Cure
for Mental Trouble
A medical journal has recently an
nounced the results of some experi
ments made to nscertalu the relation
?1/ music unci medicine.
One curious piece of newt obtained
is that if a lively air Is played on a
harp or mandolin, n man's tired mus
ics regain their original vigor. The
music of a violoncello, on the other
hand, has a precisely opposite effect,
in temporarily lessening the usnsl
strength and vitality s of the hearer.
In nervous and impressionable peo
ple, sad music lo a minor key, such
j's Chopin's "Funeral March," actually
weakens the pulse and makes the bent"'
>ng of the heart feebler and more fr
regular. ?
An American doctor stated not long
Ago that almost every mental trouble
?ould be enred by suitable selections
of classical music regularly adminis
tered. Jealousy, grief, overwork
fcomlcidxl mania, nervons breakdown,
all had their corresponding air.
Pleasure in Garden

flies away with It. Oije of the squirrels

The Substitute
Little Betty was anxious to own a
tat, but her father -bod a great'STer
Mton to them- and turned, a, deal ear
^o all her pleadings. He did say, how
ever, that sheconld have a dog if she
could find a nice/ welMiehaved one
that wouldn't bite the baby.
One day while walking with her
mother, Betty snw a kitten frisking
*long beside her. ?
She turned a wistful face to her
mother and said : "Oh, mummy I See !
U doesn't seem to belong to anyone!
Can't I take it home?"
* "But, Betty, daddy says you ean
have 0 dog. but not a cat."
"W-well, mummy, can't we tske It
Home and use it for a dog?"

The precocious infant was being

order to determine the degree of his

numbers, arranged blocks and dlstln
rnished colors. Then came the su

nickel on the floor. The precocious
nfant bent over It while the proud
parenis held their breath.
Then the precocious Infant winked

r gives us great pleasure to announce NO-NOX
our new Motor Fuel. NO-NOX is the product
of many months of exhaustive scientific and
chemical research by a staff of our own skilled
chemists, infinite care being given to all de
tails to insure the absolute perfection of NO-NOX Motor
Fuel. Strenuous nights and days were spent in our thor
oughly equipped laboratories by these scientists before NO
NOX Motor Fuel was perfected. Hard grilling road tests
followed to develop any weakness overlooked in the labor
atory, and we are now ready to offer the most efficient anti
knock fuel in the world.
Mepjutfacturcd in one refinery under the same skillful super
vision and from the same grades of crude/It is continuously
uniform which means much in carburetion. When the car
buretor is once properly adjusted it requires no further
change -care should be taken to see that the mixture Is \
not too rich as NO-NOX works best with a thin mixture;'
thus insuring economy. With NO-NOX, perfect combustion
takes place at just the right position of the piston head
which entirely does away with carbon knocks or motor
detonation? promoting greater efficiency of the engine;
smoother operation of the car on the road, in traffic, and
especially on heavy grades:
This wonderfully efficient gas is guaranteed to be TVon
Noxious , Non-Poisonous and no more harmful to man or
motor than ordinary gasoline.
NO-NOX is priced only three cents per gallon higher than
That Good Gulf Gasoline.
Drive to the nearest Gulf Service Station and try it out. It
is readily distinguished by its color.
