BELL COUNTY MAN
DRANK 30 YEARS
A Temple Veteran Sixty-One Years
Old, Was Finally Mastered by the
Corse of Drink and Became a
Terrible Drunkard.
BROUGHT TO DALLAS
And Flared In Italian MmI InsUiulr b>

In Bin Keciamatioa.
A Tempi*. Texas. veteran. 61 years
of ags. drank whiskey for forty yearn.
It finally Impoverished him. physi
cally and financially. In a weakened
condition, he was placed In the Itallas
Neal Institute, which Is fast becom
ing one ot Dallas's most notable Insti
tutions.
When I began to take Cardul 1
whiskey—until it had soaked every
drop ot his blood and every bone in
his body with Its destructive and pois
oncue accumulations —this man was
rescued from the habit -and was re
turned to his children a new father
and to his community a better cltisen.
Although this party does not desire
the public use ot his name, his letter,
which follows, is on file al the Dallas
Neal Institute, and may be seen for
the asking:
• This is to certify that 1 have
used alcoholic drinks for over
thirty-five years, and that 1 have
taken the Neal Treatment for
Alcoholism, and I ban truly say
that I am thoroughly cured by
this treatment, which is humane
and safe. 1 am SI years old."

Temple. Texas,
For the young man or the old —for
the periodical or steady drinker—for
the occasional drinker or the constant
drunkard -the Neal Treatment is the
most effective, thorough, sure, easiest
and shortest treatment administered
in the South. Almost three hundred
cured patients In Texas. For full In
formation relative to the Neal Cure,

afflWNT ESSENTIAL
10 CIRCUS MW
He Is a Great Attraction and la Also
Useful When Wagons Be
- come Bogged in Mud.
"The elephant is as essential to the
circus make-up as the canvas which
covers the host of wonders." said a
representative of Ringling Brothers'
‘World’s Greatest Shows.” which come
to town on Saturday. October 7. “As
an attraction he heads the list, and In
the line of usefulness he has the horse
backed off the boards. He is noted
for his ability to tickle Willie Small
boy’s funny bone and gladden daddy's
heart. He Is the life and blood ot the
peanut market and a bubbling foun
tain of versatility.
"When the show ground is a sea of
mud and the heavy wagons are mired
hub deep, it's the elephant that comes
to the rescue. I have often seen a
string of twenty horses endeavor to
pull the pole wagon off a soft lot. Jbut
never budge it. while a medium-size
elephant had but to lower its head and
give a slight push to land the wagon
onto a paved street. Horses’ hoofs
mire easily and deter their power,
while Mr. ‘Twotail’ experiences no
such difficulty.
"In Ringling Brothers' great herd of
pachyderms there are ten which either
work in harness or have been taught
to push a wagon out of a mud hole.
Recent demonstrations for the benefit
of the press have elicited that the
brute's power is triple where it is al
lowed to push an object instead of
pulling it. The formation of the trunk
just below the animal's eyes is as tough
as iron, and the muscles so concen
trated that the creature’s greatest
strength is centered there.
"Students who have traveled with
the Ringling circus to study the traits
of animals, have discovered that the
pachyderm sleeps less and eats less
than any other animal in the me
nagerie."
DANGER IN DELAY
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
for San Antonio People to Neglect.
The great danger of kidney trou
bles is that they get firm hold before
the sufferer recognizes them. Health
Is gradually undermined. Backache,
headache, nervousness, lameness,
soreness, lumbago, urinarv troubles,
dropsy, and Bright’s disease, follo'w
as the kidneys get worse. Don’t neg
lect your kidneys. Help the kidneys
with the reliable and safe remedy.
Doan's Kidney Pills, which has cured
people right here in San Antonio.
Mrs. B. Swain, 417 Live Oak St.,
San Antonio, Texas, says; "It gives
me pleasure to confirm the statement
that I made in June, 1908 recom
mending Doan’s Kidney Pills. They
had been used in our family with sat
isfactory results, and I felt as If I
could not say enough for them. Since
then several of my relatives have, on
my suggestion, taken Doan’s Kidney
Pills, and this remedy has in every
instance lived up to the claims made
for it. Doan’s Kidney Pills are very
effective in correcting kidney diffi
culties.”

George W. Coleman Will Be a
Guest at Luncheon at the St.

J. FRANK DAVIS IS HERE
—X—
He Comes on Flying Trip to
Prepare for Mr. Coleman and
to Arouse Interest.
George W. Coleman, recently Heel
ed president of the Aaaoclated Ad
Club* of America at the national con
vention In Boston, will be In thia city
Wednesday to arouse Interest In the
national convention to be held next I
year In Dallaa. He will be given a
luncheon at the St. Anthony hotel at (
12:30 by the member* of the San An-|
tonlo Advertisers' association. About I
thirty business men of the city, who
are not members of the Ad club, will
be invited to attend th* luncheon.
Mr. Coleman I* now making a tour
of the south and southwest, visiting
the cities that will send delegate* to
the national convention in Dalia*
next year. He will spend twenty-four ■
hour* in San Antonio, arriving from.
Waco. The luncheon at the St.
Anthony will form only one of the
features of the entertainment to be
given him during his stay here.
Pavla to Give Luncheon.
In anticipation of Mr. Coleman s
coming. J. Frank Davis of this city
made a flying 2200-mlle trip from
Boston. He will give a luncheon to
about twenty business men at tne
St. Anthony hotel tomorrow. Mr.
Davis is the general representative of
S A. Hopkins, oil operator of this
city and of Boston, and has been tn
the east with Mr. Hopkins since
August 1. Both men were delegates
from the San Antonio Advertisers
association to the national convention
in Boston and were active In the
successful campaign to bring next
year s national convention to Texas.
When the national president
planned to be In San Antonio on
Wednesday of this week, said Mr.
Davis. Mr. Hopkins believed that no
pains should be spared to Impress on
the business men of the city the im
poratnee of Mr. Coleman’s visit and
of the national convention. Of tne
publicity work soon to begin on a
large scale. Mr. Davis said:
3000 Boosters Coming.
"We business men of San Afltonlo
haven’t heard much about the Asso
ciated Ad Clubs of America. Rut we
will hear some sort of ‘noise’ next year
when the convention brings about
3000 boosters to Texas. Most of them
will visit San Antonio. This city and
state have never had such a great
opportunity to ’make good’ in a
quarter that count*.
"The Associated Ad clubs Includes
in its membership all kinds of men
connected with publicity work—those
who buy advertising, those who sell
it and those who produce it. Thus
the membership is made up of ’live
wires' whose opinions count.
"It is planned that the delegates
to the national convention shall be
shown over the state, spending at least
one dav in San Antonio. We dont
want San Antonio to be outdone by
other cities —and it is partly for this
reason that I am here now.
To Increase Mcntbershljx
While here Mr. Davis will begin a
campaign for increasing the member
ship of the San Antonio Ad club.
There are many live business men In
the city, he said, who are not mem
bers of the organization, and their
help is necessary to make the visit
of the national delegates redound to
the benefit of this city.
After the luncheon to President
Coleman on Wednesday. Mr. Davis
will return to Boston. Both he and
Mr. Hopkins will be back In San An
tonio next month to spend the winter.
