A TEXAS FAMILY’S
EXPERIENCE
Galveston, Texas:—“After the flood in
1900, all my family became rundown,
due to exposure of being in the water,
loss' of sleep, etc. They were all feeling
miserable and the only medicine thov
took was Dr Pierce’s’Golden ’'cdical
Discovery. By the use of this they were
ad! restored to health and strength.
*'I always keep the ‘Pleasant Pellets’
in my home. They are an excellent regu-
lator of the stomach, liver and bowels,
or for bilious attacks. I can speak in the
highest terms of nil of Dr. Pierce’s Medi-
cines.’’—Mrs J. W. Moss, 391.1 Ave. K.
Houston, Texas:—“Ail my life my
liver has given me considerable trouble.
I have suffered with sick-hendaches and
have had yellow blotches appear all over
niy body. At one time 1 was so bad with
it that I lost all ambition to do my
housework and was really ‘all in’ when
‘Golden Medical Discovery’ was recom-
mended to me by a friend. I took six
bottles of it, which made me feel like a
different woman. I consider Dr Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery the very best
liver medicine I have ever known nnd
have no hesitancy in recommending it to
those afflicted with chronic liver ail-
ments.”—Mbs. C, A. Finn, 2214

Two Cooke County Candidates May
Tie l’p in Unique Preferential
Primary
' ’
Wm~ :
m?
□■■I
In his opening address at Gaines-
ville Monday R. E. Thomason, candi-
date for Governor, challenged Joseph
\V. Bailey, also a candidate, to ieave
the issue up to the people of Cooke
county—the former home of both men.
By the terms of Thomason’s challenge,
the loser in such primary would re-
tire from the race, and the expenses
of the election would be paid by Thom-
ason. The following dispatch from
Washington gives Bailey’s viewpoint
on the challenge:
Washington, March 3..—“I would
not have any office in the world if I
could not carry my home county,” said
former Senator Joseph Weldon Bailey
when informed of the challenge made
by R. E. Thomason in his opening
campaign speech at Gainesville yes-
terday.
Senator Bailey refuses to say what
he will do until he gets positive as-
surance that Thomason made the
Cooke county challenge.
“I can’t believe that Thomason
made any such statement as that un-
less he is trying to find an easy way
to get out,” he said. “It is ridiculous.
I do not believe it possible.
“Before I reply I want to know pos-
itively what he said. He should have
communicated with me direct. This is
the first I had heard about it. If he
made the statement, 1 shall hear of it
very likely, from some of my friends.
“My mind is made up if I find the
information is correct. It won’t take
but an instant for me to make my
decision.”

7 GOVERNORS RACE
I*"' .»» vjb- —~
Anfiwt‘ra. Hon. JoV Bailey in Gainen-
v.iUv Speech—f!«vor* Prohi-
bition. And’ Suffrage
Gainesville, March 2.—Robert
E. Thomason of Ei Paso in an ad-
dress here th« afternoon, enunciated
the principles on which he is seeking
election as governor of Texas on the
democratic ticket.
Formally opening his campaign
Mr. Thomason declared in favor of
prohibition and women suffrage; en-
dorsed the national administration and
replied in part to the recent address
here of former Senator Joseph W.
Bailey, another gubernatorial candi-
date.
“More business and less polities,’’
will be his slogan, Mr. Thomason said.
He wants economy in government
and lower taxes, better schools, a
square deal to both labor anil capital,
good roads, aid to needy soldiers of
the world war and preservation of
state rights.
Thomason, who was speaker of the
house in the last legislature, said he
“regretted that one who has occupied
high station in T<*x*is made a vicious
attack here a few days ago upon the
national democratic adminir ration
and the policy of the party that once
so highly honored him.”
“I regret to think,” he continued,
“that during the coming summer when
democracy meets its ancient enemy
before the public and continues its
fight in behalf of equal rights, that it
will be met by accusations of the ex-
senator from Texas and that his
speeches made while a candidate for
governor will be the text from which
republican orators will preach. * * ”
“I love the democratic party. * *
If there be those either in or out of
the party who seek to destroy it, then
I accept the gauge of battle. I expect
to defend the party of our fathers
against its enemies and defamers.
“My appeal is going to be to the
forward-looking and not the back not
be directed to the malcontent. My hope
is not with the disgruntled. I am go-
ing to pin my faith to the men and
women who believe with me that this
is the greatest day in all history.
“I subscribe to old principles, hut
I believe in giving them application
to fit the times. I am not content to
rest my cause hpon the deeds of past
generations. Modern democracy is
begging for men who will keep the
government abreast with the progress
we have made in business, art and
science."
Prohibition, the speaker said,
ought to be a settled issue, except for
enforcement, to which I stand unquali-
fiedly pledged. In view, however, of
the,activities of the national liquor
association, together with certain in-
fluences now at work in Texas, I want
every, voter within this state to know
I am for prohibition, local, state and
national.”
“I was for the political rights of
women long before.the war, but even
stronger now," he said in reference
to woman suffrage. “If she is good
enough to knit the socks, cook with-
out sugar, sell liberty bonds and war
stamps, minister to the sick and dy-
ing on the battlefields, and give birth
to and r< ar the knightliest sons that
ever foguht for freedom, then she is
good enough to vote.”
In speaking of his views on busi-
ness administration for the state gov-
ernment he said Texas needed a com-
plete budget system. He expressed
the belief that “with a fair chance and
perhaps a few amendments'the board
of control law is going to work well
and save the tax payers much money.
He endorses the four-year term of
office with office holder ineligible to
re-election. He would he.vo !,ii of-
ficers paid a stated salary and the fee
system discarded.
Thomason referred to oil develop-
ment in Texas, saying that if elected
governor. Re proposed “to hold the
legislature in session until it passes a
‘blue sky’ law with health in it hat
will cay to the crooked oil men and the
fake stock salosmfln that they can
not defraud the ignorant and inno-
j cent."
He added that if he became gover-
j nor “there are going to he but few
! pardon8 granted.’
j In regard to soldiers. Thomason
said that “if the federal government
does not look after the wounded and
j sick amon'f Texas soldiers, I propose
, that Texas shall provide for her own
1 sons the finest hospitals and medical
attention money can buy, and to any of
I the ex-service men who are ambi-
! tious for an education or who desires
j to learn some trade, 1 would provide
l entrance to A. and M. college or to
any other state industrial school with
; fret tuition, together with adequate
provision for sustenance while there.”

The Seats oFlhc Mighty.
A oertnln caplain went calling upon
the village belle. The old rnun kept n
very vicious housedog, and upon the
occasion of the officer’s call the dog
was untied. When the fearsome ca-
nine had finished with the captain the
seat of the latter's trousers was miss-
ing. His brother officers, joshing him
about his predicament, asked if the
girl was worth risking his anatomy
in that fashion. The captain replied:
“Maybe not, but I have always been
willing to give up my sent to any
lady!”—Judge.

The Whale as an Eater.
The whale fa rely, if ever, swallows
nnvtlilng larger than a herring. Al-
though the head is of enormous size,
from one-quarter to one-tldrd length
of the body, and the mouth fifteen to
twenty feet long and six to eight feet
wide*, the opening of the gullet is not
larger than a man’s fist.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Weak Links in a Strong Chain
That’s just what imitation parts are when thcy;become a pari ot >°ui
Ford car. They look strong enough, but the metal isn’t there—stio k
and durable Vanadium steel that goes into the Ford chassis and evert
part. Ford parts are specially cast and heat-treatecj, each according l° *
use. Some require a hard, l'lint-like wearing surface, others need resihei . -
and some need just “toughness.”
Ford metallurgists have been studying these problems for
years and know just how each unit should be made to endure a maxiniu
wear and tear. They know that best results can be obtained °1,1 '
use of special formulas for different parts, and that honest Ford p
wear from thirty-five to one hundred per cent longer than counterfeits.
We carry complete assortments of genuine Ford parts for both
ger cars and trucks. And our garage is equipped to give careful. P*
Ford service—from minor adjustments to complete overhauls. 11 ,()1!
