THE LAMPASAS DAILY LEADER
During a recent illness of Senatoi
Gore it was necessary for Senator
Smith of South Carolina, as the next
ranking member of the committee on
agriculture, to handle the appropria-
tion bill for the department of agricul-
ture.
The Republican senators—especi-
ally Jones of Washington and Smoot
of Utah—had a good deal of fun iu a
dignified way out of Smith, because
even an uninformed senator could see
that he didn’t know a blessed thing
about the bill he was trying to man-
age.
Mr. Jones asked how long it had
been since special appropriations had

Lady Says Cardui !s ai
Tells What It Did for Her.
Mt. Pleasant, Tenn.-—“As a girl I
was always well and hearty,” says
Mrs. M. E. Rail, of this place,
have always been accounted healthy. I
never felt any trouble like . . . weak-
ness until I came to the change of life.
I was about forty-five when that be-
gan. I think I would have died had I
not found out what a good friend to
women Cardui is.
“I suffered a great deal. I had a
number of fainting spells, and . . .
would be obliged to lie in bed a week
or two at a time. I never liked to lie
in bed because it interfered so with my
work. The swimming in my head was
nearly continuous. I could not stoop
down It would make me so dizzy. I
think I used Cardui off and on for two
or three years, using in that time
about 8 or 10 bottles. I began to feel
the improvement in health before I
had taken one bottle, but kept on tak-
ing it until I got in perfect health.
“Had it not been for Cardui I know
I would have been dead. . . . Now I am
62 years ©Id, and weigh about 175, and
am in the most perfect health.”
Give Cardui a trial for your
troubles. It should do for you what it
has done for thousands of others.—
Adv.
Prudent Decision.
“Would you go to war if your coun-
try called you?”
“Of course I would,” answered the
patriotic citizen, “but I would first
make sure that my country was call-
ing me, and not a lot of leatlier-lunged
jingoes.”

Manager—You may ‘oh’ others, but
you cannot owe me.
A Mother’s Burden
A mother who suffers kidney trou-
ble, finds it hard to keep up her daily
work. Lameness, backache, sharp
pains vvhen stooping and “blue”, ner-
vous or dizzy spells, make home life
dreary. Active kidneys bring back
vigor, health and a pleasure in fam-
ily duties. If the kidneys are weak
try a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills.

been made for the study of corn im-
provement and corn production. Mr.
Smith could not answer the question,
but claimed ^to know that “the in-
vestigation is still in process of de-
velopment." Smith explained “just so”
that the experimentation of the de-
partment in corn culture “has discovered the very peculiar fact that in the
case of corn bread, say, in the senator’s state and corn bread in a place some
distance away, if the seed is interchanged it will not breed back to type, so
that they have bred these varieties in the different environments in order o
get the variety best adapted to each.”
Jones wanted to know “is that the reason why we ca*not get any good
corn bread any more.”
Smith answered that “the reason we do not get any good corn bread any
more is because they really are not housing the corn before it is put on t le
market.” ,
Jones thought “if we had good corn we could get good corn bread when
you find someone who knows how to make it.” _ _
Smith promised “if the senator will visit me some time, I will give him
gc>od pone corn bread.”
WEBB’S EARLY DAYS
When Edward Yates Webb of
North Carolina, chairman of the house
judiciary committee, had made his way
through college and law school he
found himself, at the age of twenty-
one, some $600 in debt.
Seeing that he was in debt and
without clients. Webb at once went
about getting himself engaged to he
married. There was a pretty girl, the
daughter of a professor at the little
college he had attended, who had been
willing to listen attentively when
Webb talked about himself and his
ambitions, and so, of course, there
was nothing to it. The girl’s mother
asked Webb how he proposed to sup-
port a wife inasmuch as he was a
clientless attorney.
“Oh,” says he, bravely thumping
nis chest, “I’ll go out and hoe corn if
necessary.”
That seemed to cheer up the moth-
er a good deal and she consented to
the engagement. The young folks were to be married that fall, and during the
summer Webb got a first-rate start as a lawyer. His first case netted him a
fee of a five-dollar gold piece and he gave it to his mother.
REAR ADMIRAL SIMS
Rear Admiral William S. Sims,
U. S. N., slated to succeed Rear Ad-
miral Knight as head of the naval war
college at Newport, has a knack of
always being where things are hap-
pening, usually things intensely dis-
tressing to a bureaucratic administra-
tion. His career, in this regard,
started while on the China station.
Taking his duties very seriously, he
became obsessed with the idea that
there was something radically wrong
with gunnery In the navy. He took
the matter up with his superiors and
was snubbed, with the department and
was ignored. Finally he wrote directly
to Theodore Roosevelt, who was then
in the White House. The colonel
cabled for him to come home and he
started at once, not knowing whether
he was to he commended or cashiered
for stepping over his superiors’
heads.
The colonel made him his naval
aide, the most powerful helper in many years, and, stimulated by the president’s
support, he inaugurated a system of target practice reforms which made the
Americans creditable naval gunners.
PORTIA OF THE PINES
Portia of the Pines is what they
are calling Dr. Annette Abbott. Adams,
assistant United States attorney for
the California district, who gained
fame recently by securing the con-
viction of Consul General Bopp and
two other Germans for conspiracy to
violate the neutrality of the United
States.
Doctor Adams was horn in Plntt-
cille, Plumas county, Cal. She learned
her three R’s in a mountain school
which was ten miles from “her folks’
place.” In the winter she had to
travel to find from the school on snow-
shoes escorted by tjie half-breed In-
dian letter carrier. 'She attended the
state university at Berkeley, and from
it received her degree of doctor of
jurisprudence.
With another woman attorney,
also a graduate of the University of
California, Doctor Adams opened an
office in Oakland. They got some cases
at first because of the novelty of it, but soon they began to get practice be-
cause they won cases. Her latest, achievement has proved her a Portia-

ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WEAK?
Thousands of Men and Women Have Kidney
Trouble and Never Suspect It.
Nature -warns you when the track of
health is not clear. Kidney and bladder
troubles cause many annoying symptoms
and great inconvenience both day and
night.
Unhealthy kidneys may cause lumbago,
rheumatism, catarrh of the bladder, pain
or dull ache in the back, joints or mus-
cles, at times have headache or indiges-
tion, as time passes you may have a sal-
low complexion, puffy or dark circles
under the eyes, sometimes feel as though
you had heart trouble, may have plenty
of ambition but no strength, get weak
and lose flesh.
If such conditions are permitted to
continue, serious results may be expect-
ed; Kidney Trouble in its very worst
form may steal upon you.

SPECIAL NOTE—You may obtain a sample size bottle of Swamp-Root by enclosing
ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. This gives you the opportunity
to prove the remarkable merit of this medicine. They will also send you a book of
valuable information, containing many of the thousands of grateful letters received
from men and women who say they found Swamp-Root to be just the remedy needed
in kidney, liver and bladder troubles. The value and success of Swamp-Root are so
well known that our readers are advised to send for a sample size bottle. Address Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When writing be sure and mention this paper.
ing increase and remarkable prevalency
of kidney disease. While kidney dis-
orders are among the most common dis-
eases that prevail, they are almost the
last recognized by patients, who usually
content themselves with doctoring the
effects, while the original disease may
constantly undermine the system.
If you feel that your kidneys are the
cause of your sickness or run down con-
dition, try taking Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root, the famous kidney, liver and blad-
der remedy, because as soon as your kid-
neys improve, they will help the other
organs to health.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp-Reot is what you need, you can
purchase the regular fifty-cent and one-
dollar size bottles at all drug stores.
Don’t make any mistake but remember
the name, Dr.' Kilmer’s Swamp-Root,
and the address, Binghamton, N. Y., which
you will find on every bottle.

HIGH COST OF LIVING ‘
This is a serious matter with house-
keepers as food prices are constantly
going up. To overcome this, cut out
the high priced meat dishes and serve
your family more Skinner's Macaroni

licious and most nutritious of all foods.

WHAT IS
LAX-FOS
LAX-F0S IS AN IMPROVED CASCARA
A Digestive Laxative
CATHARTIC AND LIVER TONIC
Lax-Fos is not a secret or Patent Medi-
cine but is composed of the following old-
fashioned roots and herbs:
CASCARA BARK
BLUE FLAG ROOT
RHUBARB ROOT
BLACK ROOT
MAY APPLE ROOT
SENNA LEAVES
AND PEPSIN
In Lax-Fos the Cascara is improved by
the addition of these digestive ingredients
making it better than ordinary Cascara,
and thus the combination acts not only as a
stimulating laxative and cathartic but also
as a digestive and liver tonic. Syrup laxa-
tives are weak, but Lax-Fos combines
strength with palatable, aromatic taste and
does not gripe or disturb the stomach. One
bottle will prove Lax-Fos is invaluable for
Constipation, Indigestion or Torpid Liver.
