Vegetable Compound
Restored Her Health.
Philadelphia, Pa.—“I was very weak,
always tired; my back ached, and I felt
syoily most of the
time. I went to a
dootor and he said
I had nervous indi-
gestion, which ad-
ded to my weak
condition kept me
worrying most of
the time—and he
said if I could not
stop that, I could
not get well. I

J. Worthline, 2842 North Taylor St.,
Philadelphia Pa.
The majority of mothers nowadays
overdo, there are so many demands
upon their time and strength; the result
is invariably a weakened, run-down,
nervous condition with headaches, back-
ache, irritability and depression—and
soon more serious ailments develop.
. It is at such periods in life that LydiaE.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will

it did to Mrs. Worthline.

Approximately a.half million dollars
has been paid the state by oil pro-
ducers as a tax of 1% per cent on the
value of the production for the quarter
ending Sept. 30, according to the rec-
ords of the controller’s department.
Programs for the 14th annual con-
vention of the Tax Assessors’ Associa-

County Tax Assessor Will Horton, who
will be host to the gathering, which
meets at Dallas, Texas, for three
days, beginning November 18.
There are 316,737 motor vehicles
licensed in Texas, the figure having
been made public this week by the
highway commission. During this year
there have been 55,486 transfers re-
corded, 23,845 chauffeurs’ licenses,
3729 motor cycles obtained number
plates, and 3G91 dealers’ numbers
awarded.

Many farmers in Brazos County
have turned their cattle into their
cotton fields as fast as the remnants
of cotton are gathered. Their object
is to destroy as many boll weevils as
possible to reduce their ravages next
year. Brazos County was in the cen-
ter 'of the weevil zone this year and
suffered as much or more than any
other county in the state.
—o—
Sixteen years ago the Texas legis-
lature passed a law offering a reward
of $50,009 to any person who would
find a practical method of destroying
the then menacing boll weevil. A
claim for it has been filed with the
governor, but the attorney general
holds that the appropriation continued
but the usual two years has lapsed,
therefore it is not now available, even
if the remedy should be efficacious.
As a result of recent legislation
granting pensions to Texas rangers
who fought in campaigns against In-
dians in the period between 1850 and
1890, N. H. Nicholson, special exam-
iner of pensions for the department
of the interior, is looking into the
records of claimants. About seventy-
five applications for pensions from
widows of the civil war and the Span-
ish-American war have been received
by Mr. Nicholson. As soon as investi-
gations have been made, applicants
who can give sufficient proof will be
granted pensions without del4y.

The October report of land sales
and leases, completed this week by
State Treasurer John W. Baker, shows
$145,669 credited to the available fund
of public schools, open accounts, and

credits include public school purchase,
first payments, $77,010, permanent

War savings stamps and certificates
to the amount of $1,000,000, sold to
Texas investors, have been redeemed
by postoffices throughout the state
during the month of October, accord-
ing to the records of C. E. Huddleston,
assistant postmaster for Austin. The
total of certificates and stamps cashed
in by owners throughout the state
has mounted to approximately $13,000,-
000 since the signing of the armistice.
Tonnage entering and clearing from
the port of Galveston in foreign trade
continues to increase, according to the
monthly report compiled by N. M.
Thielen, tonnage clerk at the local
custom house. October’s tonnage in-
cluding 59 vessels entering from for-
eign ports, with an aggregate tonnage
of 126,188, against 51 entering in Sep-
tember, with 105,078 tons, an increase
of 21,110 tons of shipping. Septem-
Der’s increase over August was 17,202,
md that of August over July was
6630. Of the vessels entering in for-
eign trade, 29 were in ballast and 30
brought cargo.
Controller L. W. Tittle has advised
district judges and district attorneys
throughout the state that hereafter the
department will approve their expense
accounts at the close of each quarter
for an amount not in excess of $50
for expense incurred during the three
preceding months. The fiscal year for
these expense accounts begins Dec. 1.
Heretofore it has been the practice
to pay these expense accounts as
quickly as they were approved. Con-
troller Tittle makes the changes upon
the authority given in chapter 27, act
of the thirty-second legislature.

To stop falling hair at once and rid
the scalp of every particle of dandrdff,
get a small bottle of “Danderine”; at
any drug or toilet counter for a few

BLACK-DRAUGHT A

Some Kind of Stomach Troii

Man’s Life Miserable Un-
til Black-Draught Re-
lieved Him.
Chickasha, Okla.—Mrs. J. W. Walker
recently said this: “We use . Black-
Draught as a family medicine and
think it is the only liver medicine
made. My husband makes it up and
uses it as a tonic as well as a laxa-
tive. I use it for headache, sour stom-
ach, a full heavy feeling after meals,
which I suppose is indigestion, and it
certainly does me a lot of good.
My husband had some kind of stom-
ach trouble—we don’t know just what.
It would strike him just any time in
the day and cramp or pain him just
terribly bad. Someone told him how
to make a tea of the Black-Draught,
which he did. It did him so much
good, it .removed the cause and cured
him. Since then we have praised the
Black-Draught to our friends, and
gladly do so.”
Seventy years of successful use has
made Thedford’s Black-Draught a
standard, household remedy. Every
member of the family at times needs
the help that Black-Draught can give
in cleansing the system and prevent-
ing or relieving the troubles that come
from constipation, indigestion, lazy
liver, etc.
Try Black-Draught. Sold by all drug-
gists.—Adv.

Only two of the propositions voted
on in Texas Tuesday carried. These
were the constitutional amendment to
increase the Confederate pension tax
from 5c to 7c on the $100, and the
amendment to authorize the city and
county of Galveston to issue $5,000,000
of bonds for grade raising and other
protective works.
All of the other amendments were
defeated, as also was the proposition
to order a constitutional convention.
The university amendment,/Which was
expected to run strong, failed to do so,
and the amendment to authorize $75,-
000,000 for bonds for the state high-
way system wras defeated by more
than 2 to 1. The expectation that the
highway amendment would run strong
in the larger -cities and in counties
which are badly in need of good roads
is not generally realized. Of the larger
cities only San Antonio, Houston, El
Paso and Galveston report large ma-
jorities, whereas Austin, which is the
headquarters of the state highway
commission and was the headquarters
of the campaign for the amendment,
went against it, as did Waco and Dal-
las. Throughout Hill and Denton coun-
ties, both of which are in need of bet-
ter roads, heavy majorities were given
the amendment.
A singular feature of the election is
that in many places considerable ma-
jorities were cast against the confed-
erate pension tax.
The vote was light everywhere,
probably the lightest that has been
cast in any statewide election in a
quarter of a century. In many places
no election was held. Among these
are Lipscomb, the First Ward in Den-
ison, Desdemona and Eastland. No
election was held in Scurry County
because the election supplies were not
received.
The propositions voted on in addi-
tion to the constitutional convention
were briefly as follows:
1. To authorize the city and county
of Galveston to issue $5,000,000 of
bonds for grade raising and construc-
tion of seawalls, breakwaters and other
protective works. Of this $4,000,000
is to be issued by the city, if a majority
of the qualified taxpaying voters of
the city shall vote in favor of the
same, and $1,000,000 shall be issued
by the county, if a majority of the
qualified taxpaying voters, exclusive of
those residing in the city, shall vote
for the same.
2. To authorize the legislature to
enact laws providing for the sharing
of the profits of the state prison sys-
tem with the convicts.
3. To authorize the legislature to
enact laws authorizing the governor
to issue not to exceed $75,000,000 of
state bonds for the construction of
“durable hard-surfaced roads upon the
public highways.” The avowed inten-
tion of the legislature in proposing
this amendment is to provide that
these bonds shall be taken care of,
both as to interest and sinking fund,
out of the revenue arising from motor
vehicle license taxes, but in order to
make the bonds marketable the amend-
ment authorizes the legislature to levy
a state tax of 20c on the $100 to care
for interest and sinking fund.
4. To separate the University of
Texas from the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College. It provides 'for a
division of the endowment, which is
in lands and securities, and it author-
izes each of these institutions to issue
bonds against its income from endow-
ment. In the case of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College, that institu-
tion is to divide the proceeds of its
bonds with the Prairie View Normal
School, which is under its jurisdiction.
In the case of the university, the
amount of bonds that may be.issued
against income from endowment is
limited to $4,500,000. The interest and
jinking fund are to be cared for out
of said income from endowment, hut
the amendment further provides that
the legislature may appropriate out of
tbe general revenues such money as
may be necessary to supply deficien-
cies in the interest and sinking fund
accounts of such bonds.
5. To increase the state tax for
confederate pensions from 5c to 7c
on the $100.
6. This amendment would make a
number of changes in respect to taxes
of counties, cities and towns. It would
authorize a tax of not to exceed 35c
on the $100 for city and county pur-
poses (present limit is 25c). It would
authorize a tax of not to exceed 30c
for roads and bridges (present limit
is 15c). It would authorize a tax of
50c for “the erection of public build-
ings, streets, sewers, waterworks, im-
provement of cemeteries and other
permanent improvements” (the pres-
ent limit for such purposes is 25c,
and cemeteries are not named in the
provision). In place of the existing
provision that the legislature may au-
thorize an additional tax for the fur-
ther maintenance of the public roads,
the amendment makes a provision au-
thorizing an additional tax of not to
exceed 60c for the further improve-
ment and maintenance of the public
roads, if this shall be voted by a
majority of the taxpaying voters in
any county or subdivision thereof.

QUEER KIND OF OLD CODGER
Tybalt Totter in Fair Way to Be Read
Out of the Aged Men’s Pro-
tective Union.
“I have reached the age of eighty-
three years,” admitted old Tybalt
Totter, “and yet I do not think that
a man is only as old as he-ee—bee!
hee!—feels, and that all the comely
widows are after me, merely because
they treat me with civility. I have
never had much cause to complain of
anybody’s lack of respect for the aged
—I find that the aged generally get all
the respect their behavior entitles
them to. And I have found that the
average busy citizen is not deeply in-
terested in the trivial happenings of
1854 and thereabout.
“As well as I can remember, the
weather back yonder was usually just
about the same as it is now. I cannot
say that I am greatly surprised to find
profiteering going on, for to the best
of my recollection a considerable pro-
portion of the people have hogged
each other at every chance they got.
But wliat is especially queer about me
is that I do not make a practice of
denouncing and raving at young peo-
ple for cutting the same fool capers
that I did when I was their age.”—
