I have lived in Runnels County
for eleven years and 1 can there-
fore assure the voters that my
interest in the office for the in-
terest of the public is more than
passing. I have on several oc-
casion been honored with public
trust and I feel that I have never
betrayed the confidence placed
in me. And in this connection I
invite investigation. 1 have ser-
ved as a peace officer at Winters
for several years, and in that
capacity, as is always the ease, I
have doubtless encouraged the
dislikes and displeasure of some
people, but my actions in official
life have been based on an ideal
of equal and exact justice to all.
If elected sheriff 1 shall do all
in my power to render to the
people good and official service.
1 hope to be able to see jjerson-
ally every voter in Runnels Coun-
ty in a more direct way and pre-
sent iu.» claims, and until that
opportunity appears 1 ask you to
kindiv consider mv candidacv.

You Need a Tonic
There are times in every woman’s life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com-
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
and helps build them back to strength and health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wonderful
success, and it will do the same for you.
You can’t make a mistake in taking
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark.,
says: “I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth,
for women. Before I began to take Cardui, I was
so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy
spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and
as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything.
Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers.

“What in the world?" demanded the
conductor, as he looked from the ex-
cited girl to the deserted lineman’s
car, now falling back in the race it had
maintained with the train. “What in
thunder," he again demanded of Helen,
in simple, good faith, “are you trying
to do, Miss Holmes?”
Helen, short of breath and wild with
excitement, tried to explain: “Mr.
Rhinelander," she said, between gasps,
“was robbed yesterday. Thieves took
his pay roll from our safe last night.
They left bunches of brown paper in
the package. They are both on this
train!" she cried. “They have the
money. We must get them or he'll be
ruined, if he isn't ruined by this ter-
rible fire. You must help me, conduc-
tor, both of you.”
Followed by the brakeman, the two
walked forward. It was rather a long
train.
The conductor could not be hurried,
and the search went all too slowly for
Helen, who feared what did, in fact,
presently occur. Sykes and Dan, un-
easy in the fear of special agents on
their trail, were on the alert They
sat near the front door of the smoker,
and as Helen and the conductor began
at the rear end of the car to look over
the passengers, Sykes, espying Helen,
quietly slid through the front door—
left open to let the smoke out—to the
platform, Dan following. They sat
down on the steps looking for a good
place to Jump off. While the conduc-
tor was walking forward, with Sykes
casting furtive glances at him through
the front window, the train drew near
the San Pablo river. “I’m off here,"
growled Sykes to bis confederate,
briefly.
Dan protested; a jump was not to
his taste, but Sykes, the big fellow,
did not hesitate. The train was cross-
ing the San Pablo. Sykes leaped from
the step into the river, Dan reluctantly
following suit.
Helen, through an open window ol
the smoker, saw Sykes' Jump. She
caught the conductor's arm and begged
him to stop the train. He pulled the
cord and, with the conductor and
brakeman after her, Helen ran to the
front platform. The train slowed. In
the river, Sykes and Dan were swim
ming. Helen made ready to drop off.
The conductor and brakeman tried tc
dissuade her; they could not
“You'll have to go alone, I can’t
leave this train,” shouted the conduc-
tor to her.
Helen only waved her hand as she
dropped to the ground.
Luckily, she had not been seen by
the men she was after, but a further
obstacle threatened. The convicts had
swum to the nearest bank and ware
now across the river from Helen. A
passing boat was awaiting the draw,
and the moment th« train passed the
jackknife had been started up by the
bridge tender. Helen was running to
get to the other side before it was too
late. Sykes and Dan. ashore, ware
hurrying away, and the ponder:us
jackknife was rising under Helen's
fleeing feet. The draw span, already
high in the air, made a widening gap
between her and the abutment, but
Helen, running to the rising «id,
jumped from it recklessly tc the abut-
ment below. She landed, bruised, on
the track, but she picked herself up
and sped on after the fugitives.
The river bridge is at no great dis-
itance from Oceanside, but Helen's
breath was pretty well exhausted be-
fore Sykes and Dan reached a suburb-
an street car and boarded it. So close
was she after them that she gained
ane platform just as the two men
stepped up on the other. Cdnceallpg

Following them vigilantly she
cepted an officer, told him of her
chase, and he instantly joined her in
the pursuit of the men, now disappear-
ing in the distance.
Turning into an obseure street, the
criminals entered a doorway and
started up a long flight of stairs, Helen
with her policeman hard behind.
Looking back from the first landing,
the convicts now saw their pursuers.
Springing up a second flight of stairs,
they knocked hurriedly at the first
door. It was epened by their confed-
erate, The Bat, who, inside the rocm,
had been diverting himself by count-
ing the stolen money.
“They’re after us.” exclaimed Sykes
to him. "We’ve got to get out of here.
Beat It, Bat. The girl and the cop are
on the stairs.”
“Make for the roof,” cried the Bat.

When you’ve decided you’ve
thrown enough $10 bills away on
clothes—let me make your Spring I
suit for $15. Why should you pay
$25 or $30 for a made to-measure
suit? What is there about a suit
that should cost that much? Three
or four yards of cloth—the cut-
ting, trimming, sewing?. No Sir!
It’s the process by which it’s
made.
The man who buys his cloth by
the single piece, like the small
custom tailor, pays a big price for
it. The bigger man who buys by
the bolt, pays a big price. These
men pay the manufacturer a prof-
it, the jobber, the wholesaler, and
then they add on their own—and
ycu pay $25 or $30 for a $15 suit.
That’s the whole scheme, fel-
lows. But listen. I am a branch
of the Scotch Woolen Mills. Our
woolens are figured in carloads.
They come direct from the looms,
to our big floors, where they are j
inspected, shrunk and rerollcd.
Think of what wc save. Think of
how little the goods for a suit cost
us. Next to nothing. Then we
sell direct to you. We cut out
jobbers, sub jobbers, wholesalers,
and all their profits, and result is,
fellows, that I can make you the
swellest little Spring suit that
ever graced your back for $15.
