Look Back Of The Label.
* In a recent speech, Judge E.
C. O’Rear, the republican nomi
nee for governor of Kentucky,
declared:
‘We used to buy our garden
seeds, drugs and food by the la
bel, and we took our politics the
^ ^ same wav—by the label.*
“We learned at last that in re
gard to foods and drugs the in
gredients were not always as
represented on the label; that
sometimes they were adulterat
ed,and frequently even harmful.
We learned that the seeds we
>■ bought by the label sometimes
did not come up, did not germi
nate or if they did, produced a
different crop from what we ex
pected. So we changed all that.,
We now require that the name
of the food or drug or seed writ
ten on the label be accompanied;
—'^•’foy'a statement of what they con- (
tain, and that they be subject
to an impartial official test.
“Too long we have also been
taking our politics by the party
label and applied it to the needs
of government and found that it
did not germinate, or if it did,
produced a crop different from
what wj^-expeded. Don’t you

Jacobson Defends Bill.
State Senator Charles Jacob
son of Little Rock, a well-known
attorney and one of the authors
of the Turner-Jacobson bill,
comes to the defense of his bill
in the following vigorous man
ner:
“Whenever you find a man or
a set of men actively fighting
this bill you can take it as pri
! ma facie evidence that they are
| tax-dodgers or the paid repre
sentatives of tax-dodgers. The
man with a modest little home
! -Mid a modest income is not dodg
! ing his taxes; it’s a pleasure for
him to pay them. The tax
dodgers not only undervalue
their property, but the worst
! feature of it is concealing it.
I want every person to bear
his just proportion of the bur
dens of government, whether
that person be public service or '
corporation, mechanic or farmer.
“In my judgment this bill is
the best piece of constructive '
revenue legislation this state
has had for years, and yet it can
and no doubt will be improved
on as time and experience comes
to us. Perhaps it has its faults. ■
The declaration of independence
was not drafted at one sitting 1
and tariff bills are constantly |
improved on, but don’t let the
tax-dodger annul the effect of <
this legislation, understand it *
first and then improve on it later 1

if it need it. As a member of
the next senate I will pledge to
fight for any amendment to this
bill that will tend to make a bet

MRS. McGILL
BROKE DOWN
Gives the Real Facts In Regard to
Her Case and Tells How She
Suffered.
Jonesboro, Ark.—“I suffered a com
plete break down in health, some time
ago,” writes Mrs. A. McGill, from this
place. “I was very weak and could
not do any work. I tried different
remedies, but they did me no good.
One day, I got a bottle of Cardui. It
did me so much good, I was surprised,
and took some more.
Before I took Cardui) I had headache
and backache, and sometimes I would
cry for hours. Now I am over all that,
and can do all kinds of housework. I
think It is the greatest medicine on
earth.”
In the past fifty years, thousands of
ladies have written, like Mrs. McGill,
to tell of the benefit received from
Cardui.
Sucn testimony, from earnest women,
surely indicates the great value of this
tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar to
women. Are you a sufferer? Yes?
Cardui is the medicine you need.
We urge you to try it.

Mrs. Skinner Dead.
Mrs. Skinner, an inmate of the
county hospital at Jacksonport
died early Tuesday morning and
the remains were brought to
this city for burial Wednesday at
the city cemetery.
The deceased was about 25
years of age and leaves a hus
band and several children. Con
sumption was the cause of her
death.
“1 was Crippled,
could hardly walk
and had to Crawl
down stairs at times on tnv hands
and knees. My doctor told me I
had an acute attack of inflammatory
rheumatism. I was in thtf hospital
for weeks, but was scarcely able to
walk when I left it. I read about
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
bought a bottle and began to get
better from the start, and for the
past six months 1 have had scarcely
any pain and am able to walk as
well as ever.” J.H. Sanders,
P. O. box 5, Rockaway, N. J.
Few medicines are of any benefit
for rheumatism, but Mr. Sanders
tells plainly what Dr. Miles’ Re
storative Nervine did for it. One
ounce of salicylate of soda added to
one bottle of Nervine makes an ex
cellent remedy for rheumatism,
which is now known to be a nerv
ous disease and therefore subject to
the influence of a medicine that acts
i through the nerves, as does
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
Sufferers from rheumatism seldom
fail to find relief in the use of
j Dr. Miles’ Nervine, with salicylate
