SPENT HALF HER
. TIME IN RED
Fanner’s Wife Tells How Lydia L
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
, Made Her a Well Woman
Carter's Creek, Tenn. — “ Three yeara
ago I was almost an invalid. I spent
half of my time in
bed, being afflicted
with a trouble which
women of a certain
age are apt to have.
I took Lvdia E.
Pinkham’s V ege table
Compound Tablets
and used Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Sanative
Wash. I am a well
woman now and have
been for two years.
I can work as well as
. any one who is younger and as I am a
farmer’s wife I have plenty to do for I
cultivate my own garden, raise many
chickens and do my own housework.
You may publish this letter as I am
ready to do anything to help other
women as I have Been so well and happy
since my troubles are past. ’’—Mrs. E.T.
Galloway, Carter’s Creek, Tenn.
Most women find plenty to do. If
they are upset with some female ailment
and troubled with such symptoms as
Mrs. Galloway had, the smallest duty
seems a mountain.
If you find it hard to keep up, if you
are nervous and irritable, without ambi
tion and out of sorts generally, give the
Vegetable Compound a fair trial. We
believe it will help you greatly, for it
has helped others.

•Since Tanlac has overcome a bad
ease of indigestion and nervousness
of three or four years' standing for
me, my <work here In the store Is a
pleasure, and I am certainly grateful
for the good 'health It has given me,’’
said Mrs. J. W. Plcklns, of 516 E. 15th

ates the book store at 210 Mercantile
Place.
“1 was so run down that I felt miser
able all the time. My sleep was broken
and restless, t had no appetite, and
the gas from undigested food caused
my heart to palpitate so I thought 1
hud heart trouble. For a time I bad
a swelling in my legs, too, and It was
an effort for me to get about.
“It Is wonderful how Tanlac has
given me such perfect relief from these
troubles. 1 eat heartily now, sleep
like n child at night, and Just feel fine

EVEN CAREFUL
CALOMEL USERS
ARE SALIVATED
Next Dose of Treacherous Drug
May Start Misery
for You.
Calomel Is dangerous. It may salivate
you and make you suffer fearfully from
soreness of gums, tenderness of jaws
and teeth, swollen tongue and exces
sive saliva dribbling from the mouth.
Don’t trust calomel. It Is mercury;
quicksilver.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone for a few cents jvhlch
Is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if It doesn’t start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you Just* go back and get your
money.
If you take calomel today you’ll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
It may salivate you, while If you take
Dodson’s Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great. -No salts necessary. Give
If to the children because It Is per
fectly harmless and can not salivate.

RESIGNS BECAUSE OF COL
LEAGUE TOWNSEND'8 DEFEAT.
SAYS HIS NAME IS CLEAR
Senator, Long Object of Controvert)
In 8enate, Declares He Has
“Fought the Fight and Has
Kept the Faith."
Washington.—Truman H. Newber
ry of Michigan, whose right to a
place in the Senate which has been
a subject of long and bitter contro
versy, has submitted his resignation
with a request that it become effect
ive immediately.
In a letter to Gov. Groesbeck, Mr.
Newberry said he had been impelled
to retire voluntarily because of de
feat of his Republican colleague, Sen
ator Townsend, in the election of Nov.
7. The turn of events, he said, would
make it “futile” for him to attempt 1
to continue his service, since he j
would be continually “hampered by!
partisan political persecution.”
Reviewing the outstanding features
of the controversy which grew out
of his election four years ago over
Henry Ford, his Democratic opponent,
he declared his right to a seat in the
Senate had been “fully confirmed.”
He added that if, in the future
there seemed to be opportunities tor
public service, he would not hesitate
to offer himself to his state and bis
country. The resignation brings to
an end a fight which already has 1
been political history and which it |
appeared would be resumed early in
the session of Congress.
convicted m Micnigan or a con
spiracy to violate election laws, Sena
tor Newberry appealed to the au-1
preme court, which declared uncon- '
stitutional the statute under which 1
be was accused. The Senate itself, i
after a long investigation, finally con-1
firmed his title to a seat by a margin 1
of five votes. In 'the campaign just
closed the case was an issue In many
states.
A copy of the resignation sent to
Gov. Groesbeck was delivered to Vice
President Coolidge by Walter R. Der
sey, Mr. Newberry’s secretary. Mr.
Newberry himself is at his home in
Detroit. The letter to the governor
was as follows:
“I tender herewith my resignation
as United States senator from Michi
gan to take immediate effect.
“I am impelled to take this action
because at the recent election not
withstanding his long and faithful
public service and his strict adher
ence to the basic principles of con
structive Republicanism which I’ hold
in common with him. Senator Town
send was defeated. While this fail
ure to re-elect him may have been
brought about in part by over four
years of continuous propaganda of
misrepresentation and untruth, a fair '
analysis of the vote in Michigan and '
other states where friends and polit
ical enemies alike have suffered de
feat, will demonstrate that a general
feeling of unrest was mainly respon
sible therefor.
"This situation renders futile fur
ther service by me in the United
States Senate, where I have consist
ently supported the progressive poli
cies of President Harding’s adminis
tration. My work there has been and
would continue to be hampered by |
partisan political persecution and I
therefore cheerfully return my com
mission to the people from whom I
received -it.

LUKE E. WRIGHT
TAKEN W DEATH
SECRETARY OF #WAR DURING
ROOSEVELT ADMINISTRATION.
CONDOLENCES ARE MANY
Memphis’ Most Distinguished Citizen
Died After lllnees Covering 8ev.
eral Months—Had Gained
Notable Place in Country.
Memphis.—The death of Gen. Luke
E. Wright, former secretary of war,
first ambassador to Japan, governor of
the Philippines and Memphis' most
dsitinguished citizen, brought a steady
flow of messages of sympathy and con
dolence to the widow at the Wright
family home on Jefferson avenue.
Friends of the general in all walks of
lifS, people whom he had known in his
long and useful career as lawyer, sol
dier and statesman, wired from all
parts of America and the Philippines,
expressing their sorrow at his death,
which occurred recently at his home,
after a month’s illness.
Funeral services were held in St.
Peter’s Catholic church. The Rev. J.
L. Pastorelli, O. P., officiated. He was
assisted by the Rev. Albert O’Brien, O.
P., the Rev. Innocent Damiani, O. P.,
and the Rev. William Marchant, O. P.
Special music was rendered by St. Pe
ter’s choir and Mrs. C. P. J. Mooney
was the soloist.
A delegation from the Memphis Bar
Association attended the funeral in a
body. The general was for many years
a leader in the local legal profession.
Secretary of War Weeks, in a gen
eral order issued to the army, eulo
gized the life of General Wright. As
a mark of respect to his memory, the
flags in all military posts were dis
played at half mast. It was singular
to note that the general order to the
army was signed by none other than
General John J. Pershing, who was
General Wright’s aid in Tokyo, when
hft was Amflrica'« first nmHoocoHnr tn
Japan.
• While tribute was being paid by men
in high positions in Washington, New
York and other places, Gen. Wright’s
friends in Memphis, many of whom
had known him since he began his
career as a lawyer a half century ago,
called at the home to extend personal
sympathy to his family. The recep
tion hall was filled with flowers. The
burden of sorrow was somewhat light
ened when expressions of love and es
teem came trickling into Mrs. Wright’s
apartment from the four corners of
the earth.
Chief Justice William Howard Taft
wired the following to Mrs. Wright
from Washington: “Mrs. Taft and I
wish to express to you our deepest
sympathy in your great sorrow. A
great and good man who deserved well
of the state has gone to his rest after
a most honorable and useful career.”
A. Cameron Forbes, former govern
or general of the Philippines, wired a
message of sympathy. Mrs. Edith
Corbin, widow of Gen. H. C. Corbin of
the ‘ Philippines, wired.
General Leonard Wood, governor,
general of the Philippines, sent the
following cablegram from Manilla:
'.‘Deepest sympathy.” He was a close
friend of General Wright. Newton W.
Gilbert, also chief executive for the
United States fn the Philippines, said
in his message, “He was a man among
men.”
J. M. Dickinson, who succeeded Gen.
Wright as secretary of war, in his
message to Mrs. Wright, expressed
himself as follows: “An able lawyer,
an upright and patriotic citisen, whose
distinguished career reflected great
honor upon Tennessee and our entire
country.” —
Hundreds of other telegrams were
received from all parts of the country.
Release Cars for South.
‘Washington.—The Interstate Com
merce Commission took steps recent
ly to relieve freight traffic congestion
on the railroads of the southeastern
section of the country. The relief
took the form of an order releasing
open top cars to all classes of freight
on roads south of the Ohio and Po
tomac rivers, with the exception of
the Baltimore & Ohio lines.

MING SHIFTS
ON JIGS BILL
CONSIDERED "LEADING DOMESTIC
I88UE BEFORE COUNTRY.
37STATE8 WOULD PAY BONUS
President's Friends Advise Him ts
Take Initiative In the Matter of
Adjusted Compensation for
8oldiers of World War.
Washington.—Prohibition and sol
dier bonus were of sufficient impor
tance in the last elections as to be
considered by political Washington as
the leading domestic issues before the
country at present. President Hard
ing has hinted that tliere is a shifting
of views on prohibition and there are
rumors that he himself will do some
shifting on the bonus.
Authorized twkesmen for the pres
ident say he will veto any bill passed
By congress dissimilar to the one put
up to him earlier this year. But be
fore that time comes something con
crete in the way of a bonus proposal
may be expected from the executive.
Whether mention will be made of the
subject in the message to be read to
congress at the regular session in De
cember is not yet determined, but
mere are many among me presiueui o
friends who advise him to take the
initiative in the matter of adjusted
compensation for the soldiers and pro
pose {hat his party cap unite on.
The latest suggestion which has
quarters, though it cannot be said
that Mr. Harding will be won over
to it, is one that looks to the federal
government and the states to enter
into a combination of a sort of 50-50
proposition just as has been the case
with good roads. The federal govern ’
ment appropriates on condition that
an equal sum is raised by a state and
the quotas are divided to the needs of
the states.
Thirty-seven out of the 48 states of
the Union are willing to give. Re
cently Illinois, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kan
sas, Montana and California voted sol
dier bonuseB. Seventeen states acted
earlier, namely, Maine, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Ore
gon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Ver
mont, Washington and Wisconsin. In
addition Colorado* voted $200 each to
ex-service men for vocational training.
New York state went on record in fa
vor of $45,000,000 bonds, but it got
tangled up In constitutional difficul
ties. The Pennsylvania legislature in
1921 authorized submission of a con
stitutional amendment involving $35,
000,000, but this is expected to be sub
mitted again by the new legislature.
Twenty-seven out of 48 represent a
majority, but it doesn’t reflect the
true effect of the bonus sentiment be
cause many states have been waiting -
on the federal government and the bo
nus movement hasn’t received the Im
petus It would otherwise receive If
the states were to know they were re
quired to cooperate with the federal
government.
ASI$ RIVER RATE EXTENSION.
War Department Would Offer a Sav
ing to More Shippers.
Washington.—Extension of the ter
ritory from which and to which joint
railroad rates with the Mississippi
Warrior barge line will arply, was urg
ed at a hearing before the full mem
bership of the interstate oommerce
commission. The case was taken un
der advisement. From questions and
the general attitude of the commis
sioners it is believed they are favora
ble to the proposal.
The war department, which oper
ates the barge line,asked ‘hat the pres
ent boundaries on southhound freight,
which now are the Ohio-Pennsylvania
line on the east; and the Missouri riv
er on the west, be extended both
ways, and that northbound rates be

Lacked Cow Touch.
A Brown county woman, who could
hardly be‘classed as a connoisseur, or
even a dilettante, was looking at one
of Will Vawter’s hills o’ Brown land
scapes one day and focussed a scorn
ful orb on a cow in the painting'. She
said it didn’t look like a cow, and
then, to cap the climax, she ran her
hand over the rough surfa'ce of the
artist’s work and said: “Now, see
there, that don’t feel like a cow at
all 1”—Indianapolis News.
