Letters like these testify to the value
of the Vegetable Compound. These
women speak from the fullness of their
hearts. They describe as correctly as
they can their conditions: First, those
symptoms that affected them most con-
spicuously; and later the disappearance
of those symptoms. They are sincere ex-
pressions of gratitude. For nearly fifty
years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable

Gentlemen:
I wish to take this opportunity to
tell you what I think of your Edge-
worth Plug Slice Tobacco.
I have been a pipe smoker for about
18 years and during that time have
naturally tried many different brands
and blends of tobacco. I could not
seem to find an ideal blend until about
six months ago when, at the sugges-
tion of a friend, I tried a pipe of
Edgeworth Plug Slice.
I have been a constant user of Edge-
worth since and can truthfully say
that "Day by day in every way
Edgewo(rth is getting better and
You have my permission to use this
letter in any way you may desire if
by so doing it will enable other pipe
smokers to find a really cool, enjoy-
able and perfectly satisfactory man's
smoke.
I beg to remain,
Edgeworthily yours,
AL F. Whitlock.
Contracts made by the state prison
commission for employment of in-
mates of the penitentiary has been
held to be in violation of the state
antiprisoner lease policy in an opinion
by the attorney general’s department
to the senate penitentiary committee.
In view of the opinion a subcommit-
tee was appointed to confer with Gov-
ernor Neff relative to the contracts and
plans for employi-? the prisoners.
The Texas railroad commission has
set for hearing on June 12 the applica-
tion filed by Texas railroads asking for
cancellation of special rates now ap-
plying on bacon, coffee, crackers, lard,
mineral water, soap, soap stock, tallow
and grain and grain products, in less
than carloads, between Houston and
Galveston and between those points
and Texas City and also between
Beaumont and Port^rfhur, class rates
to apply in lieu of1fe^^t>cial rates.

Estimates made by grain growers
and dealers of the upper counties of
the Texas Panhandle seem to be
agreed that the wheat acreage in that
territory is 50 per cent greater than
last year. The estimates were made
after April rains had caused the
growth of wheat that was in a doubt-
ful state. Throughout the territory
the crop is in fine condition, and some
growers believe that, barring extreme-
ly high winds and dust storms, there
is sufficient moisture to insure at least
a normal yield.
In pusuance to notice of hearing the
Texas railroad commission has issued
an order establishing a maximum rate
of 36c from both Houston and Galves-
ton to Texas points on news or print
paper ordinarily used for printing
newspapers, books and pamphlets, but
not suitable for ornamental or expen-
sive use, in bundles, bales, crates or
rolls. This reduces the present Gal-
veston maximum rate 2c and lc and
increases the Houston rate a like
amount, the present rate from Galves-
ton being 38 %c and from Houston
33%c. The order is effective on one
day’s notice, but not later than June 1,
1923.
Stockmen in practically every part
of the state are agreed that the condi-
tion of the range and cattle is better
or at least as good as it has been in
many years, according to the May 1
report of the U. S. division of crop and
livestock estimates. Cattle are begin-
ning to condition well and are improv-
ing in flesh so that they will soon b*
in good shape. The range is well
soaked, with a good grazing season
apparently assured. While the de-
mand for cows is poor there are in-
dications of a fair market for desirable
stockers. Restocking will begin if
fair prices and range continue.
During the month of April there
were a total of 196 dog heads examin-
ed at the State Pasteur Institute at
Austin and a material per cent were
found infected with rabies. This
breaks all records for the institute,
being the largest number of heads
ever sent in one month. The number
of patients ranged from thirty-five to
sixty during April, and most of them
were bitten by mad dogs. Some few
were bitten by cats, skunks and a coy-
ote. In one or two communities an
unusually large number of infected
dogs were found.
Crop conditions in Texas generally
are favorable, although crops are late
and need cultivation in sections, ac-
cording to the May crop report of the
United States division of crop and
live stock estimates announced this
week. There is a good season in the
ground, the report states. Wheat and
oats are beginning to head in some
sections. Instances of corn planting
the third time is reported and much
cotton required replanting, due to ex-
cessive rains and cold soil, it Is stat-
ed. Chopping is in progress in tb«
lower Rio Grande Valley.

If we should try to “improve”
Edgeworth or change it in the least,
we might be doing an injustice to the
men who have smoked Edgeworth
for years and years and who expect
to find it always the same good

And so we hope Mr. Whitlock will
agree with us that, all things con-

making more of the same Edgeworth.
