HUSBAND RESCUED
DESPAIRING WIFE
^ -v i
After Four Years of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.—In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. bettie Bullock
writes as follows: "1 suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
ell. At times, 1 would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor wascalled in, and his treat-
ment relieved me for a while, but I was
600m confined to my bed again. After
I bat, no/hing seemed to do me any good.
& *
1 had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bot;/e of
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and 1 com-
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, I could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work."
Ifcyou are all run down from womanly
troubles, don't give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom-
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.

What I shall say in this naper
is rather what we hope to no in
Sherman than what lias been
done, We have no city plan in
Sherman, but believe that net-
ting one for Sherman is today
the biggest problem ahead of the
I Chamber of Commerce and of
i the city government. Our may-
or is enthusiastic over the sub-
I ject and anxious for the Cham
| her of Commerce to take hold
I and work up sentiment in favor
Ufa city plan for Sherman.
The task of the secretary of
I tomorrow will bo almost entirely
| of constructive work, more for
planning, more for building, and
there will be required of him and
his committeis a greater degree
of technical knowledge. In oth
er words, the secretary of to
morrow will and must be a city
planner, if not in the technical
sense he must he a missionary
for city planning and an apostle
of city planning.
Those of us who have been
secretaries for. four or live years
have noticed a wonderful change
that has taken place in commer-
cirl organization work. Only a
very few years ago a secretary
was expected of hh people to be
the noisiest and loudest man in
the entire town and community.
He exageratod because his poo
pie demanded exageration of
him; they expected him to repre
sent everything1 to be twice as
good, big, little or bad as it real-
ly was. This was true of every
committee and of every phase of
commercial club activity. The
successful commercial club and
the successful secretary in those
days were the ones that made the
most noise, going on the princi
pie that where there is much
smoke there is bound to be some
fire.
The secretary and the com-
mercial organization today are
doing cons tructive work.
Both the secretary and his com
mittees are devoting more and
more of their time to agricultural
work, to the production of live
stock, and to the matter of find
ing markets for the farmers'
product.
And while a Texas secretary
is occ isionnlly caught in the act
of tr.\ ing to stealer buy a factory
from another town, yet this
practice is always stoutly denied
and done strictly on the quiet.
The secretary of today, so far
as lie can regulate conditions,
divides his time and energy be
tween agricultural development
and trade development. The
secretary of tomorrow will be a
builder and a planner. He and
his directors will be interested
more largely in the health, the
education, the social, moral and
financial conditions of the people
of their town and community,
The secretary of tomorrow
will be interested in the health
of the people, because of the fact
that the prosperity of the com-
munity varies in direct ratio
with the health of the people;
sick men do not buy goods,
neither do sick men produce
wealth Therefore, the business
men, the commercial organ:/,a
tion and the commercial secret
ary of tomorrow will give much
of their time to matters concern-
ing the health of the town and
com munity.
The secretary of tomorrow
I will also give much of his time to
studying educational conditions,
and to the improvement of the
school both of the town and of
the country. Much thought
i will he giv n to the kind of type
of school building, and their eq-
uipment in bvt.h town and conn
j try. I n the commercial organiz
; zations the strongest com miUoes,
: com posed of the bp.st business
! men will devott much time and
| study to the improvement of ru.
nil school conditions. The hush
| noss men of the town will come
to see that the1 prospei ityof his
• business depends upon thequali
ty and quantity of education re-
ceived by the boy and the girl
on the farm.
During the past we have been
preaching diversification to orr
farmers and manufacturing to
our town people, We have been
content with urging but have
done but little to bring about
conditions that will insure prac
tical continued diversification,
and that will guarantiee that the
products ofoursoil will be manu-
factured within oir own State
and within our own cities.
The commercial organization
of the future will realiz 'that the
factory can run only when
men and women have been educ
ated from childhood in the things
that go to make up a successful
factory, and we will then see to
it that our town ami city schools
provide practical education for
our boys and gii Is, and give them
the kind of training they no«d to
become successful managers,
foremen and operatives in the
factory we plan to build.
When that day comes, instead
reaching diversification, our com
mercial organizations will see to
it that every boy and girl on the
farm is given an all-round, prac
tical education in agriculture;
then and only then will Texas
and the South feed themselves.
The secretary of the future,
while not minimizing the import
ance of bringing in new indus-
tries, will realize the great im-
portance of providing for the
education, social, financial and
moral welfare of the people who
work in the factories already lo
cated in his town lie and his,
committees will realiz j that the
best way to build up their town
as a manufacturing center will
not be to induce some factory to
move from another town, but to
make living conditions ideal in
their own town. They will
strive to bring about the best
possible conditions for the men
and women who work in the
factory; better health, better
schools, more practical educa
lion, education that tits the boys
and girl's for the life they are to
lead, better social conditions and
better moral conditions.
The town of the future that
holds its own and leads as a trade
center and as a maniufacturing
center will hold its supremacy
because of the fact that it has
the lowest death rate, that the
largest per cent of is laboring
people are home owners, that its
public schools are the best in
opuipment, and furnishes the
best opportunity to fit the boys
and girls to perform the task
that they will be called upon to
do. The town that leads com-
mercially and as a manufactur-
ing center will also be a leader
ie providing for the happiness,
pleasure and comfortof its work-
people.
The city builder of the future
will see to it that foundation for
the city's greatness rests upon
the best of social and moral con
<1 i',ions. They will realize that a
great permanent structure can
not be ('l ectori on foundation im-
bedded in the slime of vice or
quicksands of ignorance.
To bring about these tilings,
we n nst lirst correct wrong
physeial conditions, wo must
provide proper sanitation, elimi-
nate the breeding places for litis
and mosquitoes, provide clean,
cnnfortable, sanitary homes for
the poorer people both white and
black. I noldon'ally we must on
con rage n i d mak< homo owning
possible. We must provide
parks and play grounds.
In short, the whole town must
be planned by an expert planner,
the same as a great I. uilding is
planned b.v an architect.
So far two cities in Texas have
employed city planners—namely,
Dallas and Paris. The Texas
Town and City Planning Associ
ation was organized to stimulate
an'intorost in town and city plan-
ning and to encourage other
towns and cities to follow the
example of these two. The Hon.
Fd H. McCuistion, mayor of
Paris, is perhaps the most en
thusiastic and practical advocate
of city planning to be found in
Texas. Mayor McCuistion has
agreed to come to Sherman
point out to our business
the dollar and cent value, of
ploying and then following
the plan of a city planner. •

Fever Stricken Orphan
These lithe helpless Orphans
have been stricken with a Ty-
phoid I'Yver Epidemicc. Father
Bucknor and a loyal band of
nurses are making a brave llgiit.
Tlio.y are sorely in i-eed of funds.
Town after tow n over Texas and
our Sister States, La. and Okia.,
have generously contributed to
this great charitable work.
M r Dave Wright (always ready
and willing to do his full share
in any goo 1 cause) is circulating
a petition for donations for these
stricken children ard our citiziu
are responding fairly well.
There sir*! fe*v people in this
town who are not able to con-
tribute as much as ^5c each wom-
an and boys. Any grown single
man with a job should be asham-
ed of himself to contribute less
than 1.00. .Just a few of them
holding good positions will re
fuse to pay one cent, such an one
is not worthy of citizenship in a
town like ours. You heads of
families who spend -5c to 7oc
throe to Ave nights everywaak
think a little. Do something
