tin* charter of the Dallas & South-
western -Motorway Co. The com-
pany has been formed for the pur
pose of constructing and main-
taining a toll auto road extending
from a point on the Red River to
Del Rio, a distance of about 800
miles.
This is the first toll road in Tex
as, and will be a ease where the
fellow that dances must pay the
fiddler. Tourist traveling in autos
across Texas will glady pay the
price for the privilege of travel-
ing over the good road. It will
save them money in the long run,
as wear and waste of autos is
much greater on rough roads than
on good roads, to say nothing of
the difference in -the pleasure of
traveling.

Inferior flour, poor potatoes, any kind of foodstuffs that are a

Some grocers make it a point of honor to never sell an article

When the moving picture action for Louis Joseph
Vance’s new and sensational novel, “The Trey O’
Hearts,” was being outlined something happened.
The producer pointed out seven places in the novel
that he claimed could not be postrayed in pictures.
But they were.

It only took thirty feet of film to do it, but it cost
$50,000 to get the negatives!

It is the most extraordinary picture production ever made,
and will probably never be beaten and seldom if ever equaled.

Kidney trouble is dangerous
and often fatal.
Don’t experiment with some-
thing new and untried.
Use a tested kidney remedy.
Begin with Doan’s Kidney Pills.
Used in kidney troubles 50
years.
Recommended here and every-
where.
The following statement forms
convincing proof.
Mrs. I. L. Beard, Winters, Tex-
as, says: “My daughter complain
ed of weaknes sand pain in her
back and a dull aclie through her
hips. Iler kidneys were disord-
ered and sin* was subject to head-
aches and dizzy spells. She was
also nervous, he tried several
remedies, but was not relieved
and when Doan’s Kidney Pills
were brought to our attention,
we got a box. Through their use
she improved and before long, the
trouble left. We keep Doan Kid-
ney Pills on hand at all times.”
Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Beard had. Foster-
