Chickasha and Shawnee Get Govern-
ment Appropriations
Washington. D. C —The senate
jiassi d Senator G ire's bill providing
for the erection of a federal building
at Chickasha at a cost of $175,000.
When tie bill was called up Senator
Galllgher of New Hampshire voiced
opposition when he
cities larger than Chickasha were re
ceivlng much less money and in the
connection singled out a city in his
own state which showed a population
of 10,000 at last ceusus and for
which only $90,000 was appropriated
Mr. Gore explained that the appro-
priation takes into consideration the
future as well as the present growth
of Chicbasha, whereupon the bill was
adopted
' Due to the persistent efforts of
Representative Ferris, the sne-com-
mittee of the house hi charge of pub-
lic building legislation voted for the
expenditure of $15,000 for the pur-
pose of a federal building site at
Shawnee. The action of the commit
tee will come as a surprise as Mr.
Ferris himself from the beginning
was constrained to believe his fight
to be a hopeless one. It commits
congress to construct a feJeral build
lng at Shawnee in the near future.
It should be added that the recent
speech of Dr. Uartholdt, chairman of
the committee, in which he declared
that no new enterprises would be
undertaken in the prospective bill by
no means simplified the matter. The
rental charge there is considered a
fair one and the further fact that
Shawnee is not a court town added
considerably to the congressman's
troubles in getting the ear of the
committee As the item has passed
the muster of Chairman Bartholdt it
is certain to appear in the measure
as reported by the house.
Knoxville, Tenn—"If you had seen
me, before I began to take Cardut, you
would not think 1 was the same per-
son, " writes Mrs Mamie Towe, ot 102
W. Main St., this city.
“Six doctors failed to do me good,
and my friends thought I would die
1 could hardly get out of bed or walk
a step.
“At last an old lady advised me to
take Cardul, and uow I can go most
anyw here.”
The secret of lasting health is:
regularity.
If a clock does not tick regularly
and evenly. It is out of order and soon
wears out, or runs down If all your
functions are not regular and natural,
you will soon wear out, and get old
and run down
All ailing women need Cardul, as a
gentle, refreshing tonic, and benefl
cial, curative medicine, especially
adapted to their peculiar aliments.
It Is a reliable, vegetable remedy,
for most all womanly Ills
This is the secret of the wonderful
success of Cardul during the past 50
years, In the relief and cure of ail-
ments peculiar to women.
It removes the cause and builds up
the strength.
Try Cardul.

Many women who suffer with back-
ache, bearing dow n pain, headaches
and nervousness do not know that
these ailments are usually due to
trouble with the
kidneys. Dunn's
Kidney Rills re-
move the cause.
Mrs. Joseph
Cross, Church St.,
Morrilton, Ark.,
says: "For weeks
I was bent double
by pain in my back
and the kidney se-
cretions were pro-
fuse. My feet and
ankles were badly swollen and I had
headaches and dizzy spells. Six doc-
tors treated ine without relief and !

Her Laugh Broke.
She was a little fairy of seven, with
eyes like diamonds and hair like spun
gold, and she was romping with a half
dozen playmates. Touching a fine-

she challenged him with, "You can’t

little fairy, “but it was ’cause my
