OUR LIVESTOCK LETTER
Kansfis City Stock Yards, Nov. 21.
—Too many short fed cattle the
first half of last week at all the
markets caused prices to sag. and
at one time in the weak the
market was off 25 to 35 cents on
nearly all kinds of killing cattle, in-
I eluding cows and heifers. The last
two or three days of the week

state supreme court.
Mexico is evidently facing the
gravest times in years, for the re-
public seems to be alive with revo-
lutionists, who are bent on over-
throwing Diaz and seating their
leader, Francisro Madero. He left
San Antonio, Texas, last Saturday,
with the believed intention of mas-
sing his armed bands of Mexicans
at Eagle Pass. A number of United
States troops have been ordered out
to do duty along the Mexican Itord-
er and protect American interests
and preserve neutrality. Fierce
fighting has occurred at several
points since Thursday of lust week
between the troops of the Mexican
government and the revolutionists
and, according to reports, hundreds
on both sides killed. The revolu-
tionists are reported to have ex-
tended their operations to the states
of Vera Cruz, Hidolga, Coahuila,
San Luis Potosi, Nuevo Leon,
Pueblo, Jalisio, Yucatan and Zaca-
tecas. Circulars which appear to
have been sent out by Madero or
his agents from San Antonio, Texas,
to persons in Mexico City outline
his campaign and announce Madero
as constitutional president of Mexi-
co. If the Texas rangers are turned
loose there won’t be enough revolu-
tionists left in Mexico to cause
trouble in a short time.
Mrs. Cook Tells Truth
Dexter, Ky— In a signed state-
ment, Mrs. Cook tells the truth aliout
how Cardui brought hack her health
and strength. She says, "I could
not get any relief, until I tried Car-
dui, the woman’s tonic. I suffered
more or less for 10 years, and was
so weak and nervous I could hardly
do my house work. Now I ant in bet-
ter health than ever before, am reg-
ular as clock work, do not suffer at
all, and gain strength every day."
Thousands of women have been
helped back to health by Cardui.

Steers weighing above 1500 pounds
are slow to move at this time, and
it is a question for owners of such
to decide whether they have over-
stayed the market or whether they
will be able to come back. Most
of the steers coming are short fed
weighing twelve to fourteen hun-
dred pounds, and $5.25 to $6.00 gets
them. Cows sell at $3.50 to $4.85,
heifers up to $6 00, calves $5.50 to
$8.00, Stockers $3.60 to $4.75, feed-
ers $4.00 to $5.25, bulls $3.25 to
$4.25.
Hog receipts last week were 53,-
000 head, only five thousand head
under corresponding week last year.
The market went down 55 cents
during the week, and there is no
stopping it today. Run is 7500 to-
day, prices off 10 to 15 cents, bulk
of sales $7.10 to $7.20, top $7,271,
paid for heavy weights. The in-
crease in receipts has been largely
hogs weighing 180 to 220 pounds,
showing that the country is revis-
ing its practice of feeding for weight.
While the run does not yet justify
the rapid decline in the market,
dealers predict the six dollar hog
early in the winter. Cheap food
products of all kinds are cutting
down meat consumption.

Afraid To Stay Alone
Cherry Valley, Ark.—Mrs. Carrie
Moore of this place says, “I was
afraid to 'stay by myself. I had
headache nearly all the time; my
heart would palpitate, and my vital-
ty was very low. When 1 would lie
down, at night, I had no hope of
living until day. I tried Cardui, and
now I feel better than I have for 5
years. I cannot praise Cardui enough
for what it did." Are you a woman?
Do you need a tonic? Try Cardui,
the woman's tonic. Your druggist
sells it.
