WOMAN IN
BAD CONDITION
Restored To Health by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
ble Compound.
Montpelier, Vt.— "We have great
faith in your remedies. I was very ir-
regular and was
tired and sleepy all
the time, would have
cold chills, and my
hands and feetwould
bloat. My stomach
bothered me, I had
pain in my side and
a bad headache most
jjj§ of the time. Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound has
done me lots of good
end I now feel fine. I am regular, my
stomach is better and my pains have all
left me. You can use my name if you
like. I am proud of what your reme-
dies have done for me. " — Mrs. Mary
Gauthier, 21 Ridge St., Montpelier.Vt.
An Honest Dependable Medicine
It must be admitted by every fair-
minded, intelligent person, that a medi-
cine could not live and grow in popularity
for nearly forty years, and to-day hold
a record for thousands upon thousands
of actual cures, as has Lydia E. Pink-
b»m's Vegetable Compound, without
possessing great virtue and actual
worth. Such medicines must be looked
upon and termed both standard and
dependable by every thinking person.

that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
ble Compound will help you,write

AUSTIN DAM NEAR SAFETY
Construction Near Point at Which
Sudden Rise in Colorado Can Do
No Serious Harm.
The Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tel., Aug. 6.—Apprehension
that is felt continually for rises In the
Colorado River, which may bring great
loss in dam construction work, and fur-
ther delay tha completion of the big
structure, will be allayed Saturday if the
river takes no rampage before that time.
The contractors are rushing work on
the concrete construction, closing the last
gap, and by Saturday will have an 18-
foot wall at the lowest point. It is be-
lieved that this will be ample to meet
any rise. .
Debris is being removed from the tail
race that was constructed to take care of
big rises in the river. The groining work
on the down stream side is almost fin-
ished, and everything is being done td
render the cofferdams inessential at the
earliest possible time.
Considerable relief will be felt when
it is known that the dam is free from
danger of further delay.
EARLY CLOSING IS ASKED
Merchants Will Be Requested to Set
Uniform Hour for Austin.
The Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 6.—Merchants of th«
rity nre to be requested by a committee
to b« formed at a meeting tomorrow nt
the Young Women's Christian Associutlon
to observe uniform closing house during
the heated term, shortening the working
day on Saturday. It is proposed that the
[
stores close every Saturday, from now
until September 15, at
6 o'clock In tha
evening.
Practically all of the stores remain open
later on Saturday night than on any other
night in the week. The section about Aus
tin Is a thickly Bettled agricultural com-
munity, and the habit of farmers to do
their shopping ou Saturday Is the one
thing, say merchants, that will make clos-
ing on the last day in the week an ex-
tremely serlouj problem.
The women's organizations of the city
are behind the early closing movement,
assisted by the pastors of churches. It Is
expected that objections to closing at tl
o'clock Saturday evening, put. forth by
many merchants, will be overcome.
ROOM FOR MORE SALOONS
Scholastic Census Gives Facts Liquor
Men Put to Use.
The Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 6.—The saloon busi-
ness in Texas is to show an increase soon.
This is due to an Increase over the State
in population, as reflected by the schol-
astic census, recently completed. The
Comptroller's Department is receiving ap-
plications dally from precincts which, un-
der sho.vlng in the scholastic census, now
aro entitled to additional saloons.
Where sufficient evidence is presented
to sh< w that a precinct is entitled to a
new saloon, Liquor Clerk Heartsill will
issue the permit without awaiting for the
official report on the scholastic census by
the Department of Education, which will
shortly finish the work of compiling the
figures.
AUTO DELIVERY ARRANGED

operative Service.
The Expren* Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 0.—Merchants of

tember 1. Eight machines have been

RAILROADS AND SHIPPERS CAN
AID COMMISSION'S EFFORTS
TO STOP CONGESTION.
The KKprMa Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 6.—Fearing a short-
age of freight cars that will hold up the
movement at crops and general commodi-
ties, and u congestion at terminals, the
Railroad Commission today appealed to
railroads and shippers to assist in over-
coming threatening conditions. "Move the
cars. I'ass then along quickly. Move them
as jr you were In a hurry." These sug-
gestions to relieve the situation are given
by the commission.
The commission, at the Instance of Com-
missioner Williams, issues the following
appeal:
"The outlook of war In Europe has made
it Impossible to secure vessels on which
to load an enormous number of cars of
grain already under way to Texas Gulf
ports, and this has brought very close to
us a shortage of freight cars and a con-
gestion of terminals In this State which
will shortly become disastrous unless all
persons interested shall unite to relieve the
situation. To this end the Railroad Com-
mission issues this public appeal to the
railroads and to the shippers alike.
"It is useless at this time to attempt to
fix the blame for car shortages and ler
minal congestions. It Is useless to discuss
whether shippers hold cars too long or
whether railroads move them too slowly,
or whether both sides are at fault
"The thing to do Just now Is to minimize
the approaching congestion, and the way to
do this is for every man to pass every car
out of his hands 111 the least possible time.
Move the cars. Pass them along quickly.
Move them as if you were in a hurry.
"Station agents should keep records
showing each car requested for loading, the
day and hour the request was made, the
klud of ear, the steps taken t,o fill the
order, when and bow filled, when notified
of completion of loading and when and how
moved. They should see that cars are
promptly spotted for loading and unload-
ing, aud that cars set for loading are
moved at once when that loading has been
finished. Kach car should have constant
oversight on its journey toward its des-
tination. Necessary repairs should be
made or contents transferred, and out-of-
order notices should be given. In many
cases It is imperative to anticipate ap-
proaching demands for cars for special

QUEST FOR CONFERENCE IN

crops and movements.
"Speed and precision are vital to suc-
cessful railroading. The employe who fur
nishes these essentials is not only serving
well his employer and the public. Ho is
also serving himself in the best possible
way.
"Shippers should never ask for cars
except they are certain of loading them.
Furnishing cars is part of the service for
which rates are charged. The man who se-
cures a car which he fails to load has suc-
ceeded in injuring himself and all others
who are concerned in the transaction.
"Requests for cars should be made in
writing. Be specific in describing what
you want and in stating when and where
you want it.
"When a car has been placed for loading
or unloading get to work and load or un-
load It. at once. Do not use time merely
because it is written down in the demur-
rage rules as 'free time.* In all the world
there is no such thing as 'free time." You
do not pay for it in money, but somebody
pays and usually you help. When cars
are short and you fall to get one and suf-
fer a loss you are paying in part for the
unnecessary use of cars in so-called 'free
time.'
"Because you are a shipper you are more
interested tnan anyone else in preventing
car shortages. And the only way to do
this or to render a shortage less severe
when it conies is for each one to do his
utmost to keep every car moving. There
fore, not only railroads, but shippers and
consignees, traffic bureaus, commercial or-
ganizations and all others concerned in
transportation in Texas are urged in the
common interest to co-operate in every way
to the economical use of cars, and the sug-
gestions made herein will, if regarded, con-
tribute to that end and are, for that rea-
son, recommended for consideration.
"But not everything that can be done
is included among the suggestions which
we are making. A very real peril confronts
this country, threatening heavy money
losses to all producing masses and to many
of those who are engaged in handling and
moving our crop products. We believe
every £ood citizen will do all he can to
prevent this widespread disaster, and we
call upon you in confidence asking each
one of you to do his part."

AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 6.—Governors of
Southern Statn* responding to Governor
Colquitt's eaii fur conference to discuss
ways and means of providing relief for cot-
ton growers from severe fluctuations from
market quotations, may meet Saturday of
this week or Monday of next week. Re-
sponses to the Governor's call have been
received from all States but Arkansas, and
all agree that the proposed conference Is
desirable.
In a telegram sent out today Governor
Colquitt suggests that the conference be
held Saturday or Monday and that the
meeting place, as centrally located as pos ]
sible, be determined upon.
Replies were received today accepting the I
call to conference from Governors of Louis-
iana. Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia, Missis-
sippi, South Carolina and North Carolina.
Governor Colquitt today sent the Gov-
ernors of Southern cotton growing States
the following telegram:
"Your telegram received. Am wiring
Texas Congressmen that immediate action
on the part of Congress authorizing the
Government to advance as much as $50 per
bale ou as many as 10,000,000 bales of cot-
ton, covered by warehouse receipts and in-
surance, advance to be made direct to far
rner, is imperative; that provision ought to
be made to protect farmers from specu-
lation with billion dollars of emergency
currency, which Congress is supplying to
banks. No market now for cotton. Farm
ers should be protected by the Government
In the advance price if will bring when
Kuropean war is over. If you agree with
this view pleasp telegraph to Senators and
members of Congress from your State in
harmony herewith or authorize me to sign
your name to such telegram as a memorial
to Congress from the Governors of cotton
growing States. Am asking Governors of
other cotton producing States if they can
meet, in conference at some central location
next Saturday or Monday. Answer."
Governor Colquitt wired Congressman
Buchauau in regard to providing Federal
funds for the farmers as follows:
"Answering the suggestion in your tele-
gram August 4 that the banks will have
to be utilized as medium to get money to
$1,000,000,000 of emergency currency for
use of banks in present emergency, fro
vision ought to be made for direct ad
vancement by Government of not less than
$50 per bale on warehouse receipts for 10,-
000,000 bales of cotton, for this Is about
tbe number of bales which foreign coun-
tries take from us. Think provision should
be made to prevent speculators from using
emergency currency to buv up and hold
cotton for speculation. If Government can
advance money to individual tourists in
Europe on same principal advance can be
made to farmers as suggested to enable
them to hold their cotton until European
war is over and thereafter receive the in-
creased prices which It will at that time
evidently bring. As suggested by you,
farmers should not be charged over 3 per
cent, and if .$50 per bale is advanced that, j
will practically fix 10 cents as minimum
price and the balance of this country's j
crop would bring that amount from
mestle spinners. You cannot now sell a
bale of cotton. The crop is being rapidly
gathered in South Texas. Unless some such
step as suggested herein is taken by Con
gress business throughout the South will
be paralyzed in thirty days. Orders for
lumber and merchandise are now being
canceled on account of conditions herein
referred to. I am in receipt of telegrams
from Governors of Georgia, Alabama, Ok la
horaa, Louisiana and the Carolinas in
which they concur with me that something
ought to be done immediately. I am wir
lug the Governors of the States named to
communicate with their delegations in Con-
gress. Wish you would lay this telegram
before each member of Texas delegation,
including our Senators. Answer."
