Dr. Grayson, the family physician, today stated that
President Wilson had stood the strain wonderfully. For
the past several days lie has been giving his wife the clos-
est attention, being by her side the greater portion of the
time that he could spare away ftom his office. On account
of the gravity of the European situation, he has been lab-
oring under heavy burdens. Today he cancelled all en-
gagements after having kept an ail night’s vigil.
The president, always sensitive about exaggerated re-
ports concerning members of his family, authorized no
announcement about Mrs. Wilson's health.
Three weeks ago she seemed to rally and was well
enough to walk, supposed by a nurse, in the white
house grounds.
For several days it had been known that Mrs. Wilson’s
condition was serious, but only to those in the closest
touch at the white house.
One day lrst March Mrs. Wilson slipaed on a rug at
the white house injuring her spine. After the operation
was performed and weeks of convalescence, she ffnally
rose from her bed. The winter’s duties about her home
together with charity work in the slums of the city
brought on nervous pros ration. Stomach trouble added
to her nervous ailment and Bright’s disease developed.
The three daughters, Mrs. W. G. McAdoo, Mrs. Francis
Bowes Sayre and Miss Margaret Wilson, the eldest
daughter, have been at the bedside of their mother con-
stantly since her sickness.

You Need a Tonic
I1 'I1 'to
There are times in every woman’s life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com-
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
and helps build them back to strength and health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wonderful
success, and it will do the same for you.
You can’t make a mistake in taking
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. Ark.,
says: “1 think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth,
for women. Before 1 began to take Cardui, I was
so weak and nervous, anjJ had such awful dizzy
spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and
as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything.”
Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by alt dealers.
Has Helped Thousands.

LESS ROADS, BETTER
ROADS IS PLEA
Runnels county will not have
good roads in all parts of the conn
ty until the people quit clamoring
for new roads, is the opinion of
County Judge M. Kleberg. Judge
Kleberg stated today that the
people of this county should de-
sire that what roads they have he
improved instead of establishing
new ones every time the commit
sioners court meets. Most of the
road fund in the past lias been ex-
pended in establishing new high-
ways in every part of the county.
Now the commissioners court is
making a determined effort to in.
