GLAD T0TESTIFY
Says Watoga Lady, “As To What
Cardui Has Done For Me, So
As To Help Others.”
Watoga, W. Va.—Mrs. S. W. Gladwell,
of this town, says: “When about 15 years
of age, I suffered greatly ... Sometimes
would go a month or two, and I had
terrible headache, backache, and bearing-
down pains, and would just drag and
had no appetite. Then ... it would last
... two ijHhs', and was so weakening,
and my Jhdljh was awful.
My mmfrer bought me a bottle of
Cardui, and I began to improve after
taking the first bottle, so kept it up till I
took three .A . I gained, and was well
and strong, and I owe it all to Cardui.
I am married now and have 3 children
. .. Have never had to have a doctor for
female trouble, and just resort to Cardui
if I need a tonic. I am glad to testify to
what it has done for me, so as to help
others.”
If you are nervous or weak, have head-
aches, backaches, or any of the other
ailments so common to women, why not
give Cardui a trial? Recommended by
many physicians. In use over 40 years.
Begin taking Cardui today. It may
oe the very medicine you need.

Crane Springs Surprise in Leg-
islature Investigation.
Austin, Texas, Aug. 6.—M.
M. Crane, counsel for the House,
• investigating the im-
peachment charges against
Governor Ferguson, sprung a
surprise at the opening of the
hearing this morning, when he
asked the governor to take the
stand. Governor Ferguson re-
fused, claiming his constitution-
al right to first hear the evi-
dence against him. On the plea
of Gepe^aWh'ane ^that this re-
fusal disarranged his plans the
hearing was then postponed un-
til 3 o’clock this afternoon. *
Representative E. R. Bryan,
appointed by Fuller with the
consent of the house, to pass on
the admissability of testimony,
upheld the Governor’s conten-
tion as voiced by his counsel, W.
A. Hanger. At' this morning’s
session Crane introduced the en-
tire testimony taken before the
House investigation committee
last March. This let in the tes-
timony of H. C. Poe, former
president of the Temple State
Bank. The record of the first
investigation was not read.

pher to be worldly wise.
National Army to Be Called Out
in 5 Increments.
Washington, Aug. 6.—The
new national army \yill be called
out in increments of 100,000
men and not in one group of
500,000 as was at first supposed.
This was announced by General
Crowder today.
By thus dividing the men, not
only will their handling be facil-
itated but an economic advan-
tage will result. Men whose
business is necessary to the
government may be spared
from the first increment, more
particular in vital war indus-
tries, or on the farms workmen
and harvest hands can be called
gradually, thus preventing a
wholesale depopulation in these
important branches of home
service.
Friendly aliens, even though
they have not declared their in-
tention of becoming citizens,
can fight for the United States
if they desire, so General
Crowder ruled today.
In a message to the state gov-
ernors, General Crowder denied
that friendly aliens must take
out first papers before being ac-
ceptable. He said:
“It is to be regretted that
such a misunderstanding should
have arisen. The qualifiication
for enlistment in time of war
are no more restricted for ser-
vice in the national army than
in the regular army.
“Such alien non-declarants
are virtually volunteers. The
selective service act provided
for their registration, but it did
not regard them as being under
any liability to serve, and it,
therefore, gave them full liber-
ty to claim exemption when call-
ed before the local boards.”
Information shows that there
are large numbers of these
aliens desiring to waive this pri-
vilege and to serve. In view of
this, General Crowder says
their service is “heartily wel-
comed and they shall be accept-
ed whenever upon summons
they fail to claim their right of
exemption.”
Navy Changes Plan for Combat-
ing U-Boats.
Washington, Aug. 6.—The
navy department has thrown the
program of building 1000 fast
110-feet submarine chasers ov-
erboard. Instead it will concen-
trate on turning out destroyers
and armed fast merchant ves-
sels. . ' i
The submarine chasers now
contracted for will be put
through and they will be -ship-
ped to England immediately.
After that no more will be built.
The change in the plan is at-
tributed to Vice Admiral Sims,
commanding the foreign squad-
ron. He is said to have told the
department that England has
discovered the submarine chas-
ers good only for certain work.
Destroyers are the natural en-
emy of the submarine and will
be turned out as fast as the de-
partment can let contracts. Fast
merchant ships with heavy
armament are the next most ef-
fective weapon, as they can car-
ry big cargoes and dodge sub-
marines through their superior
speed, while at the same time
can successfully balk the U-boat
if they are sighted.

A BEVERAGE

i# jm
For some years, various and sundry concerns have teen making beverages n \
which are grouped under the general description of ‘'near-beer.” p
Then came Bevo—a cereal beverage, not a “near-beer,” but offered purely \
for what it is—a delightful, wholesome and nutritious drink. Bevo met with £
instant and complete success. A whirlwind success.
Owing to Bpvo's popularity, -some beverages are now being offered in a way. ;y. J
to make the appearance of the package look as much like the'Bevo bottle as Bp B
possible. The intention, is obvious. But you don’t taste the shape of a bottle
—it’s the flavor of the contents of the bottle that you must depend upon for p.f -f
enjoyment. |jN ’
Then beware of impersonators—don’t be satisfied to try to identify Bevo. by ’f
the shape of the bottle alone —
There are these certain identification, marks that are your
protection against imitations. Not just imitations of the
product, remember—-but those more insinuating imitations
which try to deceive you by putting an old failure into a
bottle similar to a new success. So look for these unmistak-
able marks of the genuine Bevo—demand that the bottle be
opened in front of you, then—■
See that it is unbroken covering the Crown Top
Look at the Crown Top and see that it bears the Fox
Be sure ttie Bottle bears this label

Bevo is a pure drink. This means more than that it contains pure
ingredients—it means that though you might often well be afraid
of possible germs in milk or water, Bevcy, being a pasteurized prod-
uct in sterilized bottles, is absolutely free from bacteria.
Bevo is a nutritive beverage—the fine cereals from which it is
made give it this quality.
Bevo is a delightful and refreshing soft drink—unlike any you have
ever tasted—indeed a Triumph in Soft Drinks.
You can’t get these good qualities in anything but Bevo—demand
the genuine.
You will find Bevo at inr._,____________
ment and drug stores, soda fountain
teens, soldiers’ homes, navy, and other places
beverages are sold. Your grocer will supply you by the case.

U. S. Will Ask Death Penalty
Against Okla. Draft Rioters.
Muskogee, Okla., Aug. 6.—
United States District Attorney
W. H. McGinnis announced this
afternoon that the men arrested
on charges of resisting the draft
in connection with the Okla-
homa uprising will be tried for
treason and that the death pen-
alty will be asked, by the gov-
ernment. District Attorney
McGinnis has sent two deputy
attorneys to the infested dis-
tricts of the state to gather evi-
dence against the alleged trait-
ors.
“The penalty for treason
against the United States is
death,” said District Attorney
McGinnis, “and bearing arms
against the government is the
worst kind of treason.”
The district attorney today
sent two assistant attorneys to
the infested district to gather
evidence to be used when the re-
sisters are brought to trial.
District Marshal B. A. Enloe
of the Eastern Oklahoma dis-
trict also sent several deputies
to secure evidence and to aid
local officers in rounding up the
disturbers.
District Attorney McGinnis
sent letters today to United
States commissioners in thir-
teen towns in Eastern Okla-
homa recommending that bonds
for draft resisters be set at $10,-
000 to $20,000. The govern-
ment intends to hold the men on
prohibitive bail until they are
brought to trial. It was an-
nounced that practically all of
the resisters will be held in the
state penitentiary at McAlester
and the Federal jail at Musko-
gee pending trial. Federal offi-
cers fear attempts to rescue
them if left in county jails.
District Attorney McGinnis
announced that probably all the
men arrested will be brought to*
trial at the October term of the
United States district court un-
less developments warrant the
convening of a special session of
court and the calling of a special
grand jury.
Owners of Bank Stock Subject
To Double Liability.
Austin, Texas, Aug. 4.—The
attorney general today advised
the commissioner of insurance
and banking that the actual
owners of stock in a state bank
are subject to the double liabil-
ity imposed by the constitution
and statute regardless of
whether their names appear as
stockholders or not. The proxy
and trustee agreement quoted
in the opinion, signed by the
stockholders of First National
Bank of M-, appointing a
certain party attorney to apply
their proportion of the special
dividend declared by the bank
to the purchase of the capital
stock of the Farmers’ Guaranty
bank of M-, said stock so
purchased to be issued to and to
be held by G. W. B., as trustee
for the said stockholders, with
power to vote same- and act for
said stockholders, etc., is suffi-
cient to show prima facie that
the signers are stockholders in
the state bank.
The commissioner of insur-
ance and banking was also ad-
vised that chapter 39, act Thir-
ty-fifth legislature, does not au-
thorize state banks to incur ob-
ligations in excess of their cap-
ital stock. That the acts of
1914, third called session, page
51, section 10, limits the amount
of indebtedness which state
banks may incur to an amount
equal to their capital stock, with
certain exceptions contained in
section 10 A, section 6, of the
act governs state banks in
pledging securities.
Cotton Crop Will Be Short.
Elgin, Texas, Aug. 6.—Aboi;
sixteen bales of cotton hav
been marketed here of this se*
son’s crop, six bales having be->
ginned in the Elgin gins. Th
highest price paid was 26 2
cents. A conservative estimat
is that it will take fifteen acre
to produce one bale of cotter
The continued drouth is addin;
a daily shortage to even thi
outlook at present. The recer
shower was not sufficient ir th
farming country to benefit cot
ton.
