HER STATEMENTS
DESERVE NOTICE
Mr*. Walls Makes Public Some In-
teresting Facts Which Should
Interest All Women.
Leinarts, Tenn.—Mrs. Martha Walls,
of this town, makes the following
statements for publication: "I feel it
my duty to tell you what your medi-
cine, Cardui, the woman's tonic, has
done for me.
For four (4) years I suffered ter-
ribly with womanly troubles, and I
found no relief in different medicines
which I took. Finally, I began to take
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and after
taking six bottles I am completely
cured. I feel like a different person
altogether. All the pains are gone,
and I am in better health than I have
been in for four years. Have gained
a great deal in weight.
I still take Cardui as a tonic. My
husband, as well as myself, cannot
praise it too highly.
I hope this letter will induce other
poor, suffering women to try Cardui,
for it is the best medicine in the
world for women."
If you suffer from any of the numer-
ous ailments so common to all women,
why not take this lady's advice, and
try Cardui? It has helped her, as
well as a million other women in the
past half century. Why shouldn't it
do the same for you? We feel sure it
will.
Reading of Mrs. Walls' helpful ex-
perience should encourage you to try
what this medicine will do for you.
Get a bottle of Cardui from your
druggist to-day. You won't regret It.

Harold was attending a fashionable

approved. "Just one more piece,

ceded. "Harold, reaching for another
kind of chocolate drops, smiled radi-

DIZZY, HEADACHY,

Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get a 10-cent box.
Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath—always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in-
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick-
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret to-night will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you eleep—a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liv.gr
and bowels regular for months. Adv.
Declare Scientific Methods Were Not
Used In Figuring Costs and That
They Have Had A Raw Deal
Generally In the Case.
Claiming that the state supreme
court by its decision in the express
rate case has done the companies a
grave injustice, and that the court dis-
posed of the issues in the case in an
unscientific manner and contrary to its
former decisions, attorneys for the
Wells Fargo and three other express
companies filed a lengthy brief in sup-
port of the petition for a rehearing of
the case, in which the court recently
gave a decision affirming a rate order
of the corporation commission. The
petition was filed by Cottingham &
Bledsoe, attorneys for the Wells Far-
go,, the United States, American and
Pacific express companies.
The express rate case was taken
to the higher court by the companies
on appeal from an order of the corpo-
ration commission made in 1909,
which order reduced the rates on ex-
press shipments in Oklahoma. In
the aggregate from 1909 to the time
of the decision of the court, the
amount of the reduction is estimated
to exceed $600,000. This amount
under the order, if not reversed by a
higher court, will have to be refunded
to the shippers In the state.
The express companies set forth
three grounds for rehearing the case;
That the court erred in wholly disre-
garding the value of the property de-
voted to intrastate business, the rev-
enues derived from intrastate business
and the cost of such business; that it
erred in arriving at a reasonableness
of rates by a comparison with rates of
other states; that the proposed rates
of the commission were guessed at
and if enforced would mean confisca-
tion of property.
The attorneys cite a large list of
cases which they believe show that
the opinion, as written by Justice
Robert L. Willims, is unfounded in
law, unjust, unfair in its application
and not the proper method of deter-
mining the justness of a schedule of
rates, and is in violation of the state
and federal constitution.
Both Nation and State Prosecute.
Ardmore.—G. D. Auld, whose arrest
was effected September 10 by Rev.
J Dan Curb, pastor of the Baptist
church at Ryan, was held to the fed-
eral grand jury in an examining trial
here before United States Commis-
sioner William Hutchinson. He is al-
leged to have violated the Mann act.
In company with him at the time of
his arrest were Ruby Doyle, 18, and
her sister, Pearl, 14. A charge of
criminal assault against th€ man has
been filed in Jefferson county and
in case he is -acquitted in the federal
court he will be re-arrested under the
state laws.

Masonic Building Burned.
Lehigh.—The Lehigh opera house
and Masonic building was burned here
| last week. The Masonic building was
one of the oldest in the state and nine
charters of subordinate lodges with
all pliarphernalia were lost, including
Masons, Odd Fellows, James Holland
lodge K. of P., Woodmen and Wood-
I men circles, Eastern Star, Pythian
Sisters and others. The lower floor
was used for the opera house. A
movement is now under way to build
a modern, building, to replace the
burned structure.
Woman Selects Recaptured Black A
Assailant of Last July.
McAlester.—Will Williams, a negro, ;
serving a sentence of five years from ,
Hughes county for assaulting a white I
woman, is the man who entered the I
home of Hannibal Morrison at Cana-
dian last July, beat Morrison to insen-
sibility and then attempted an assault
upon his wife, according to Mrs. Mor-
rison, who picked Williams out of a
line of twenty negro convicts as the
man who asasulted her.
The crime was committed at 2
o'clock on the morning of July 15.
Williams had escaped from the peni-
tentiary at noon of July 14. He was
arrested at Haileyville last week on
a charge of carrying concealed weap-
ons and when sent to the county jail
here to serve justice court sentence,
was recognized by county officers.
The fact that he had escaped from
the penitentiary so near the time of
the Canadian offense, caused suspi-
cion of him and Mrs. Morrison was
sent for. She was positive in her iden-
tification. Williams, however, says he
can prove by a Rock Island brakeman
that on the night ths crime was com-
mitted he was riding a freight east
out of Wilburton. Shortly after the
assault upon the Morrisons, a mob
was formed to lynch August Harry,
another negro whom Sheriff D. J. Ta-
tum had arrested for horse theft. The
lynching was prevented only by the
sheriff spiriting his prisoner away
and hiding him in creek bottoms over
night. The next day Mrs. Morrison
saw Harry and said he was not her
assailant.

nut carnival, the only attraction of
the kind ever held, was in full blast
last weelF and thousands of visitors,
many from other states, were in at-
tendance. It is estimated that the

cational day. More than 600 school
children formed a parade? on the high
school campus and marched through
the principal streets of the city, wind-
ing up at the camp, where they were
addressed by State Superintendent
Wilson.
There were several hundred ex-
hibits of farm products on display,
many being made by individuals and
in one instance fifty-five different va-
rieties of products raised on one farm
were shown in a booth. Four hun-

horses, cattle and hogs were shown,
while several hundred coops of chick-

fowls were on display, making the ex-
hibition the greatest ever attempted

Federal Indictment Charges Forgery
of Indian Lease.
Pawhuska.—Mrs. George Lamott, dt- |
vcrced wife of Congressman Bird Mc- i
Guire of the old First Oklahoma dis- !
trict, was arrested here by United
States Marshal W. S. Cade of Guthrie,
upon a warrant following an indict-
ment by the federal grand jury at
Lawton, said to charge forgery of In-
dian leases.
The marshal Is silent upon the Law-
ton indictment but Mrs. Lamott Is In
possession of information leading her
to believe that it is based upon the
alleged forgery of the name of R. E.
Fletcher, an Osage county cattleman
to a grazing lease upon Indian lands.
Mrs. Lamott signed the name, she
says, but expressly as Fletcher's
agent. She says that he gave her
authority to do so in the presence of
witnesses. The value of the lease
was nominal, only $50 per quarter,
and so far she has received no pay
for looking after It nor received any
monev in connection with It In any
way.
Housework Is a Burden
It's hard enough to keep house if in
perfect health, but a woman who is
weak, tired and suffering from an aching
back has a heavy burden.
Any woman in this condition has good

ly if the kidney action seems disordered.

sands of suffering women. It's the best
recommended special kidney remedy.

had a constant pain

I felt worn out in the

If I did any stoop-
ing or lifting, It
made me worse. i
took different kid-
ney remedies and
tried plasters, but
nothing helped me
until I used Doan's

relieved me right
away and three
