Constant Headache and Much
Soreness and Pain Nearly Got
the Best of This Harrisburg
Lady, But Cardui Made
Her Well and Strong.
Harrisburg, Ark.—Mrs. J. M. Need-
ham, living near here, states: “When
. . . began working on me I
. . . suffered a great deal. I had
so much soreness and pain in the
lower part of my body I could hardly
get up when I was down. I would
have severe pains, all across my,back,
and my sides hurt me all the time. I
would have headaches constantly, es-
pecially the back of my head and
neck. I was almost discouraged with
my condition when I thought of Car-
dui, and decided to see what it would
do.
I saw an improvement at once after
the first bottle. I kept it up and the
result was -wonderful. I took alto-
gether four bottles. I grew stronger,
better appetite, less pain until I was
well. I think Cardui is a God-send to
suffering women, and I certainly can
praise it, and do so."
For more than 40 years Cardui has
been in general use and in that time
thousands have written to tell us how
It helped them back to health
strength.

Austin, Tex.—It transpires that the
attorney general’s department has ac-
cepted the challenge of Oklahoma and
other adjoining states for a “bear
fight” on boundary lines. This fact
became known following the Washing-
ton dispatch advising that Attorney
General Cureton had obtained data in
the federal records by which Texas
will claim part of Louisiana and
Arkansas.
As a result of the attempted en-
croachments, Texas may resurrect the
original and historical boundary lines.
The attorney general’s department is
making ready for it. Originally Texas
territory ran up through the eastern
half of New Mexico, part of Colorado
and up to Wyoming on the west and
nearly to the Mississippi on the east.
The point may be made in the courts |
that the legislature of this state had
no right to sell the ceded territory for
$10,000,000 or any other sum, any more
than it could sell El Paso County to-
day.
What Oklahoma will have to face
as a result of disturbing the boundary
along the Red River will be a Texas
contention for the observance of the
100th meridian as the Texas-Oklahoma,
line on the east side of the Panhandle.
That would mean a claim by Texas for
3796 feet for the entire distance of
the line, the aggregate of which would
be several hundred thousand acres of
valuable land.
Louisiana threatened to make claims
for Texas territory and Mr. Cureton is
making answer by his Washington dis-
coveries, and Miller County ,Arkansas,
also becomes involved.
No one in Texas is feeling the sugar
shortage now as acutely as the bees.
They are dying in swarms, especially

to many beekeepers will run into the
thousands of dollars unless relief is
obtained. Every effort is being made
to obtain sugar for the starving bees.

ber she has found 1,760 to have de-

ESCH BILL PASSES
IN THE HOUSE
Fifteen Members of Lone Star
Delegation Vote Against
Legislation.
Washington. — Fifteen members of
the Texas delegation voted against
final passage of the Esch railroad bill
Monday, and two of them, Representa-
tive Rayburn, a member of the house
interstate and foreign commerce com-
mittee, which reported the bill, and
Representative Black, supported it.
Those voting against final passage
were Representatives Briggs, Box, Bee,
Young, Hardy, Eagle, Sumners, Mans-
field, Connally,' Lanham, Parrish,
Hudspeth, Blanton, Jones and Buch-
anan.
Representative Morgan of the Okla-
homa delegation voted for passage of
the bill and Representatives How-
ard, McClintic and Hastings voted
against it.
The chief grounds upon which the
Texans and Oklahomans opposed the
bill included the guaranty provision
under which it is possible to continue
payment of the net operating return
to the railroads for six months and the
centralization of great powers in the
interstate commerce commission. They
saw in this action the wiping out of
the state commissions and much of the
power of the states in respect to trans-
portation.

announcement was made of the date

They made it plain that their votes
were not to be construed as Weing in
favor of the Plumb plan for operation

railroads to their owners. The bill

The effort of Texas members to se-
cure modifications of the so-called
Shreveport doctrine as a leading fea-

changes which would have tended to
preserve the powers of the state rail-
road commissions, met with blunt re-
sistance on the part of the committee,
which at times had the almost solid
republican voting strength behind it.
During the debate it developed that
the Esch bill not only attempts to
carry into effect the supreme court’s
decision in the Shreveport case, but
practically adopts, according to those
opposing it, the policy of the railroads
in carrying out the court’s decree,
which was declared to have been far
in excess of what the court intended. |
No person ever saw a herd of buf-
falo move in a straight line. They al-
ways took a zig-zag course. The late
“Buffalo” Jones explained this as fol-
lows: “A buffalo is a very cautious
animal. His shaggy forehead prevents
him seeing objects on either side. To
prevent a surprise from an enemy he
walks obliquely to the right and then
to the left, and thus gets an unob-
structed view of the surrounding coun-
try."I
The buffalo had many’ small traits
that are lacking in cattle. The buffalo
never mired in swamps or pools as
cattle do. When they found they were
becoming stuck they threw themselves
on their sides and swam or paddled
through the mud as a hog does. They
always had guards out day and night,
to warn the herd of approaching dan-
ger. They always faced a storm and
never “drifted,” as do cattle. They
lay down with their heads to the
fiercest storms, tossing their heads
around on their sides and sleeping
contentedly, while the great mass of
fur on their humps protected them
from the winds.

far better worth our endeavor than
