"A raw years ago, I found
that I was very weak and
nothing I ate seemed to
give me any strength,"
ll writes Mrs. R. B. Douglas, ill
j'J 704 South Congress St,
Jackson, Miss.
"I suffered intense pain
in my head and back. At
times I would have to hold
to something to steady my-
self, so as to do my little
work. I was worried about
my condition.
"My mother told me that
I should take Cardui. After
taking two bottles, I felt
stronger, but I kept on tak-
ing it until my head and
back quit hurting. I took
IK about six bottles in all,
and have never quit prais-
ing Cardui."

PREFERRED
STOCK
Each Share Pays Nearly 0%
YOU would be $735.00 richer today if you
had invested only about $1,000 in our
stock about ten years ago when we first
offered it to local people. In that time your
shares would have paid you dividends amount-
ing to $735.00. And consider this:
You would not have had to do a tap of work
for that $735.00. Do you know of any EASIER
WAY of making money?
To our customers and other local people we
are selling shares for $102.00 and accrued divi-
dends per share. This means that you will get
nearly 6 per cent on your money by investing
your savings in shares of our Preferred Stock.
Every three months each share pays divi-
dends amounting to $6.00 a year. The d tes for
paying dividends are February 1, May 1, August
1 and November 1.

Legislative Plan
(Continued from pnge 1.)
make the changes necessary to
effect its brger purposes.
Those questions are being
earnestly debated and several
proposals have come to the
debate All these will come
forth for open consideration
Monday with small liklihoy^
however, that there will be
any final' disposition of the
matter then or even next
week- In the House, at lease,
there is a considerable number
who see no other than an
Alexandrian solution of the
problem Iti the authority giv-
en to each house to determine
the order of its business "oth-
erwise" by "an affirmative
vote of four-fifths of its mem-
bershijj,*' they, see a plenary
power to ordain any proced
ure it might deem expedient
regardless of the degree of its
divergence from that pre-
scribed by the amendment-
While they do not advocate
one so radical, nor deem it
necessary, they believe that
with the assent of four-fifths
of its membership either
house could adopt for its gov-
erance thP rules of the Forty-
First Legislature, juid so dig-
regard the divisions which the
amendment makes of the 120-
day term and so keep the
whole of the legislative ma-
chinery in motion as has been
done in the past. It is admit-
ted that if that were done, it
might seem to the critical and
censorious that, by resolu-
tion, the Legislature had nul-
lified all of the constitutional
provision save that part of it
which increased the pay of
members from $5 to $10 a day-
Em they believe no action lc»»
radical will make possible the
orderly and deliberative coir
sideration which it was the
supreme purpose of the am-
endment to assure. As the
case presents itself to them,
the Legislature must choose
between the path and the goal.
knowing that if it follows th;
path step by step it is destined
to migji the goal
