You can rely on Cardui.
Surely it will do for you
what it has done for so
many thousands of other
women! It should help.

... I read of Cardui,
and after taking one bot-

all, I felt much better. I
took 3 or 4 bottles at

It is the best tonic I ever

From Friday’s Daily,
Mrs. L. F. Sheldon of Brownsville
is in the city on a visit of some dura-
tion with her sister, Mrs. F. A. Ver-
ser.
Oscar George made an automobile
trip to Cuero Wednesday, returning
yesterday. He says crops are fine
all the way and especially good in
DeWitt County. Corn is better than
it has been for years and much of it
is already made.
With a good river it strikes us as
advisable to use the canals on all
the crops wherever practical. Lots
of corn can be made now with just
one watering. In some instances
large acreages can be turned into
bumper crops.
Rice prospects were never better
than now. As a usual thing the stand
is perfect the “sooling” the best in
years, while there is plenty of water
in sight for the next thirty days, if
not longer.
Mr. J. C. Willis of Wharton is in
the city today on business.

A CHILD GETS CROSS,
SICK AND FEVERISH
WHEN CONSTIPATED.
Look, Mother! If Tongue Is Coated
Clean Little Liver and
Bowels.
If your little one’s tongue is coated,
it is a sure sign the stomach, liver
and bowels need a gentle, thorough
cleansing at once. When your child
is cross, peevish, listless, pale, doesn’t
sleep, eat or act naturally; if breath
is bad, stomach sour, system full of
cold, throat sore, or if feverish, give
a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of
Figs,” and in a few hours all the clog-
ged-up, constipated waste, sour bile
and undigested food will gently move
out of the bowels, and you have a well,
playful child again.
Sick children needn’t be coaxed to
take this harmless “fruit laxative.”
Millions of mothers keep it handy be-
cause they know its action on the
stomach, liver and bowels is prompt
and sure. They also know a little
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
“California. Syrup of Figs," which con-
tains directions for babies, children of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly on
the bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold
here. Get the genuine made by “Cal-

the State. In fact there is not a coun- .

ble quota subscribed. This county
more than doubled her quota and is,
