MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT TIFT “Most Successful Publicity Plan Ever Attempt ed," Is Verdict of All Experts—Biggest Ad vertisement for San Antonio. • The Light Md Gaaettes pony express ride to Chicago waa udertahen for the purpose or securing publicity for Bau Antonio Md San Antonio's country. W«» it successful m its purpoee? A glance at the bale* of dippings at the Light and Gazette office will convince the most akepttcaL According to the newspaper clip ping bureau which gleaned the news stories of the ride, it was tho most suc ceMful publicity enterprise over under taken in tho United Staten. More cd umns were printed about the ride, and incidentally about 8m Antonio, than could have been secured in any other way. It ia impossible to accurately esti mate the results at present as the clip pings still continue to arrive by the score every day. Moro than a bushel basket filled with theee dippings have bsen received. In a short tims these will be arranged, patted in scrap books Md placed on public exhibition. Theee clippings dhow condusively how the newspapers of the country re garded Mr. O'Bellly’s long ride. With out exception they treated the ride as a unique undertaking worthy of all praise. Even in England, France and Ger many the newspapers published accounts of the ride, and Mr. O'BelUy has receiv ed several letters from Europe congratu lating him on the success of his ride. By E. 8. O’Reilly. Those who have read of the enthu siastic welcome which greeted me along the line and thA many enter tainments arrang ed in my honor might well believe that my ride was one long joyous holiday. This was true to a certain evlr.nl hut the trip had its hardships, and was not alto gether a pleasure .jaunt. On the day I rode forth from Alamo plaza. J. H. Kirkpatrick made a fare well speech. One sentence of that | speech haunted me during the entire ride. “O'Reilly. Han Antonio expects you to make good,” said Mr. Kirkpatrick. Many times, when thermometer was climbing high above the 100 mark, and the roads were burning hot and dusty, I have longed to remain on the cool hotel veranda, but I would think of that declaration and ride out into the heat. Many nights when I was weary and the thought of a comforts-' ble bed appealed to me, that parting । injunction lias driven me out on the road, perhaps to sleep in the fields or I in some Wayside farm house. The first two weeks of the trip were ; _ ... • ...Il hard. T was weary in tho morning and at night mv weariness would be multi plied. Gradually I became hardened to the steady grind and by the time I reached Oklahoma City, the riding af fected me little. Through Oklahoma T experienced the hottest weather I have ever known. For ten days the mercury did not drop below the 100 mark and in many towns I found ihe thermometer registering 111 to 114 degrees. I have often heard the story of the sun that cooked eggs, but at Madill. Oklahoma, T witnessed it with my own eyes. A drummer placed some eggs in tiic burning sand in front of the hotel and in about an hour they were cooked solid. The worst hardship of my trip was when I sprained my ankle. For three Just I Think I what a pleasure it is to wear well fitting clothes made of good all wool cloth that will last and hold E their shape. •Such is the kind we K make. - s 2Bl Special I Suit to Order I Made in San Antonio We also make cheaper as well H as better ones and invite compari son.

BUSY SESSION OF MIO CIUB Good Roads Propositions Aie Considered and Much Other Business Is Transacted. .Much business of importance was transacted last night at the meeting of the San Antonio Automobile club. Prior to the taking up of routine busi ness two good roads propositions were presented, one by Hugh Rice of Boerne and the other by Mr. Hudson of the Sutherland Springs Development com pany. Mr. Bice asked the cooperation of the club in improving the road to the county line in the direction of Boerne. He {minted out the advan tages of the proposed new hotel in the mountain eity, stating that a beauti ful parking garage for autos would be a part of the hotel's accommoda tions. The club voted to have a com mittee approach the county commis sioners on the subject. Mr. Nelson's proposition was on the same line. He stated that a fine road exists to Sutherland Springs with the exception of about four miles of sand just this side of the county line. He also said that the new resort was plan ning to make a bid for auto pleasure runs and that a beautiful road would be built approaching the springs. On mo tion the president was asked to include the Sutherland Springs project in the other and have the sane committee Work on both. President Carr . an nounced that he would appoint the committee at an early date. A representative of the Light and Gazette appeared before the meeting and in a brief talk explained the plans in relation to the reliability contest to Dallas and return and asked the dub's sanction. On motion this was granted. It was decided to reimburse R. A. Carr and E. A. Kalkhurst for the ex penses incurred in finding the path from San Antonio to Mexico for the Flagto-Flag contest by subscription. Mr. Carr, on behalf of himself and Mr. Kalkhurst protested against such ac tion, but it was passed and the list given a substantial start before ad journment. Col. Roy Hearne, as a member of the committee to secure autos for the use of President Taft and the members of his party, reported progress in the matter and asked all present who were willing to give their ears to notify Winchester Kelso, president of the In ternational club. It was announced that R. W. Carr had been appointed local representative of the contest board of the American Automobile association. After the meeting the members were entertained in the parlors of the club at an informal smoker by Dr. Freder ick J. Fielding. FUNERAL NOTICE. Margarete Mary Rilling.

Sbja/ dwi&lA This Fact— that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are con* tiding your private ills to a wainan —a woman whose ex* perience with women’s diseases covers twenty-five years. The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, was for years under her direction, and has ever since her decease continued to advise .women. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. Such ques tioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great MRS. PINKHAM’S STANDING INVITATIONS Women suffering from any form of female weakness are in vited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established this confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Never has she published a testi monial or used a letter without the written consent of the writer, and never has the company allowed these confi dential letters to get out of their possession, as the hun dreds of thousands of them in their files will attest. Out of the vast volume of experience which Mrs. Pink ham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge needed in your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, should be glad to take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

A. Kalkhurst, of the Auto Sales Supply company, agents for the Chai mers Detroit, the Chadwick and the Hudson “20” cars, is the latest en trant for the pathfinding trip for The Light and'Gazette’s reliability run to Dallas. Mr. Kalkhurst this morning de posited a cheek for $5O as a forfeit that he will faithfully perform the duty of finding the path and will participate in the drawing. Only two have so far volunteered for this task, G. A. C. Halff of the Alamo Auto company and Mr. Kalkhurst. It. has been decided by The Light and Gazette to close the entries on Friday evening at 6 o’clock instead of Satur day night at 12 o’clock. This will per mit the pathfinder to leate here Sun day morning and thus save a day from business. Tn addition to the pathfinder, the firm which succeeds in landing this task will also be given the privilege of furnishing the pilot car on the run of the contest. The application for the sanction of the American Automobile association, made on the official blank and accom panied by a check for $5O, tTe A. A. A.’s fee on such sanctions, was mailed to Chairman Frank B. Hower of the contest board today. Mr. Hower was requested to wire his sanction for the Contest. At the meeting of the Auto mobile club held last night, sanction of the Tbcal body was asked and grant ed. an-1 nothing can now interfere with the contest. , Application was made for a sanction to hold a Class 1 contest. This is the severest test that comes under the A. A. A. rules and the car that finishes the run with a perfect score will re ceive more advertising than has over resulted from such a contest in the south. The A. A. A. officials wil] bo surprised when they see the applica tion for such a sanction. The usual method in sueh matters is to ask for dispensations as to penalty, etc., and in the end the affair is no contest at nil. The Light and Gazette means to make this a contest in every sense of the word. This decision was reached only after a careful canvass was made OCTOBER *. M of local auto men. Almost without ex ception, the opinion was to make tin contest as strict as possible. It is un derstood here that all leading makes ot domestic cars are represented in this city, that the class of San Antonio autos is above that of any other city of its size in the country. But out siders do not appreciate this fact. This contest is designed to show the outside world what sort of automobile hustle there is in San Antonio. It is bound to attract attention, owing to the unusual feature of being conducted as strictly as is the Glidden tour itself. A feature that developed today wai the application of several private own. ers for entry blanks. One of these, speaking of the entry of private ears, said: ‘‘ I don’t see why we should leave all this business to the dealers. The run, even outside of its contest features, is bound to be an enjoyable one. I havs been to Dallas several times on pleas ure alone, just for the ride, and 1 was thinking of taking in the auto show and fair anyway. It just gives me an opportunity to eop a great deal of glory if I should be fortunate enough to fin ish with the highest s<?orc. ” The plan to conduct the contest back through Weatherford and thence to Marble Falls had to be abandoned on account of bad roads in that section. While of course the final route will not be laid until the pathfinder marks it, the consensus of opinion seems to be to run it up and back on practically the same road. In this way, desirable ho tel accommodations, good I parking places and other advantages may bo obtained. It is now planned to leave here on October 22 after lunch and run to Aus tin that afternoon. The second day’s run will be to Waco and the third day’s to Dallas, arriving in Dallas on the afternoon of the third day. It has been suggested that the return trip bo made in two days, but this matter will be laid before the meeting of entrants to be held prior to the start. $lBO GIVEN AWAY By America’s Largest School of Book keeping, Shorthand and Telegraphy, Ty ler Commercial College, Tyler, Texas.'
