OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
OF THE
First State Bank
------■:/>
MRS. J. W MAN ESS
“I was in a dreadfully rundown
condition us a result of stomach
trouble. I became so weak I was
confined to the house for six months
and for four months was on a milk
dirt. I suffered terribly with gas
and cramping pains. Awful sick
headaches forced me to bed for hours
at a time. I lost weight and strength
and my color was unhealthy. I was
so nervous that life was a misery. I
simply couldn’t sleep well.
“After the first few doses of Sar-
gon my appetite returned and I eat
unything I want. I don’t suffer with
gas or cramping pains anymore, nor
do I have those dreadful headaches.
My nervousness is entirely gone and
I sleep just fine. Doing the house-
work now seems just like play com
pared to what it used to. I’m rid of
constipation, my color is good and
I’ve gained six pounds.
“Sargon did more for me in a few
weeks than all the other medicines
and treatments put together did in
years.”
The above statement was made re-
cently by Mrs. J. Vi. M a ness, 1 -»10
Pearson St., Houston. Texus.
Sargon may be obtained in Big
Lake at the Big Lake Drug Co. adv

figure in the following romance,
lived in Big Lake something over a
year ago and was scout for the Box-
ana. He was well liked. The fol-
lowing Associated Press from El
Paso will be interesting reading since
many here will remember Gill>ert:

Gilbert exhibited scars above the
elbows on both arms which he said
were caused by the wire’shackles.

greatest achievements.
'TURN the switch — and the electric
A- vacuum cleaner picks up dirt and dust
from rugs, front draperies, from furniture,
front mattresses. Commonplace to us, yet it
means the emancipation of woman from the
slavery of housework.
PLUG into a floor or wall outlet — and
* coffee magically begins to percolate on
the table before you or toast is browned
right at your elbow’ or crisp warm waffles
are made before your eyes. Commonplace to
us, yet a convenience, a comfort, a resplen-
dent pleasure that not even kings could
conceive years ago.
'CLECTRICITY is One of the Wonders of
Th of the World; it banishes drudgery from
the home, for it makes possible the use of
scores of time and labor-saving electrical
appliances. ELECTRICITY is the
Housewives' Friend! Don’t begrudge your-
self this great convenience, for, after all, it
costs so little.
