Health
About
Gone
Many thousands of
women suffering from
womanly trouble, have
been benefited by the use
of Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, according to letters
we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs. Z.V. Spell,
of Hayne, N. C. "I could
not stand on my feet, and
just suffered terribly,”
she says. “As my suf
fering was so great, and
he had tried other reme
dies, Dr. - had us
get Cardui. . . I began
improving, and it cured
me. 1 know, and my
doctor knows, what Car
dui did for me, for my
nerves and health were
about gone.”
TAKE
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tome
She writes further; 411
am in splendid health ...
can do my work. I feel 1
owe it to Cardui, for 1 was
In dreadful condition.”
If you are nervous, run
down and weak, or suffer
from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardui. Thousands of
women praise this medi
cine for the good It has
done them, and many
physicians who have used
Cardui successfully with
their women patients, for
years, endorse this medi
cine. Think what it means
to be in splendid health,
like Mrs. Spell. Give
Cardui a trial.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot De Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only ore way to cure catarrhal deafness,
ami that is by a constttuflonal remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
inflamed you hav. u rumbling sound or lm
p. rfect hearing, and when it I entirely
closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to Its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many case* of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an Inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine arts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine, cir

Senator Wm. F. Kirby
CANDIDATE FOR
Re-Election to a Second Verm
OPPOSED GAMBLING IN FUTURES IN AGRICUL
TURAL PRODUCTS
Extracts from his opening speech:
Gambilnif is futures in agricultural P™cin■
grain and cotton, should be prohibited.
FOR a bill authorizing the President during the wai
to cose all grain exchanges by proclamation when e
regarded it necessary so to do, and also active \ am
effectively supported the Smith amendment to the
Cotton Futures Act reducing the grades of cotton t a
can be delivered on contracts made on exchanges from
21 to 10, thereby limiting the opportunity for gambling
in futures and manipulating the maiket with tht pw
grades of cotton to the injury of the producer, which
had effect with the conditions developing immediately
therefter to advance the price of cotton about $30 per
bale. . . ,
I also voted for the Comer amendment giving the
purchaser in such contracts the option to it quirt t «
delivery of one-half of the better grades ot the ten
permitted to be delivered. This would have further
restricted the opportunity for gambling in futures and
manipulating the market to the injury ot the t'armei,
and immediately after it passed the future market ad
vanced 3 cents per pound.
The American Cotton Association, representing
more farmers anti cptton producers than ain other or
ganization, endorsed this amendment and ui ged its
passage in annual convention at Birmingham, and Mi.
Wanamaker, its president, and Mr. Barrett, president
of the National Farmers’ Union, likewise endorsed it.
The New York and New Orleans cotton exchanges
brought all possible pressure'to bear against its final
passage and Mr. Caraway lent his influence against
the farmer and lined up with the exchanges and tele
graphed from Arkansas his opposition to this amend
ment, which was finally defeated. He made no move
in the house for more than six years against the cot
ton gambling exchanges, and then only introduced a
resolution providing for an investigation of the ex
changes, which he never got passed.
False Charges Refuted
BY WILLIAM B. OWEN, CANDIDATE FOR COM
MISSION OF STATE LAND AND HIGHWAYS
The Pace-Davis political machine in Little Rock,
through its candidates Powell and Wilson, changes
that I have “given away more than 300 auto licenses.”
This is a deliberate mis-statement. I have never given
away a single license. It is known by everybody that
Federal, state, county and city property is exempt
from taxation. Whenever application is made for
auto tags by proper officers, they are furnished with
the following blank affidavit:
This is to certify that_automobile Motor
No_Factory No_is in the exclusive serv
ice of the County of_or the (City of_
or the State of Arkansas, and is entitled to a tag with
out license.
This car is used by Mr._of_Ark
ansas. _
County Judge or Mayor.
Sworn to before me this_day_192—
_ _N. P.
When this is returned filled out and sworn to by
the proper official, we furnish tags “not licenses” for
such vehicles. Our records show to whom these tags
were given. Do you think that if I were violating the
law, 1 would make a public record of it? Certainly not.
RING ATTEMPTS TO CONTROL THE STATE
I charged in my opening speech that the Pace-Davis
Powell ring was trying to get control of the state gov
ernment by electing Powell Governor and IL R. Wil
son Commissioner of State Lands, Highways asd Im
provements. As proof of this allegation, I now submit
the following statement of Tom J. Terrall, Secretary
of State, Candidate for Governor,published in the Ark
ansas Democrat July 16th. 1920.
“Frank Pace offered to pay all the expense I had
incurred in my race for Governor, and to finance my
race for Commissioner of State Lands, Highways and
Improvements, if I would withdraw from the Gover
nor’s race and enter that race. He also stated that he
would take Herbert Wilson out of the race for Com
missioner.”
Who is running Wilson’s campaign anyway? This
is the same Wilson who is chairman of the Corpora
tion .Commission, which Stuttgart and more than forty
other cities and towns petitioned the legislature to
abolish; this is also the sar-ie Wilson who was defeat
ed for a second term as Circuit Clerk of Hempstead
county. Wonder why? Ask his home people.
