untold misery. Several doctors treated
me unsuccessfully and I had begun to
consider my case hopeless"
"Oue day, thank God, saw an adver-
tisement of Prickly Ash Bitters and
thought would give it a trial. After a
thorough course of treatment with this
great remedy am glad to say it has
made different man of me. I now feel
we'll and strong, my digestion is good, I
can eat anything at any time without
that awful distress I used to have. I
consider it my duty to recommend
Prickly Ash Bitters to everyone whom l
think needs it, and I know everyone
who has used it on my recommendation
has been greatly benefited"
Prickly Ash Bitters is remedy

all forms of kidney and liver trou-
bles. 1t has an agreeable cathartic

AN IMPORTANT MATTER
Is the Permanent Improvement
of the Mouth Of
Red River.

The necessity of keeping the
mouth of Red River open to nav
igation is one of the greatest lm-
portance to all of the parishes
traversed by the Ouachita and
her tribu taries, Tensas, Bayou
Macon. Boeff River, Little River
and Dugdemonia, and Red River,
which includes practically the
entire Fourth and Fifth Con-
gressional Districts and the par
ishes of Grant, Rapldes aud
AvoyelIes in the Seventh District.
and large area in South Arkan-
sas and North East Texas.
The commerce of the section
named above was formerly car
ried through the mouth of Red
River. After the advent of rail-
roads river transportation de-
creased to such an extent that In
some sections until recently ii
was almost abandoned.
Congressman Randell of the
Fifth district said in one of his
recent speeches that water navi-
CATION was the best equalizer OF
the cost of transportation OF
freight, and that the Government
assumed the control of the water
ways and should keep them open
to navigation. This important
piece of work, being less than
five miles in length, should be
taken care of by the Mississippi
River Commission and made nav.
lgable at all seasons of the year
The immense territory made
accessible to water transportation
bv keeping open this four or
five miles of the Red River at its
mouth should be incentiv,
enough for the Mississippi Rive
Commission to make the neces
sary allotment of the money ap'
propriated to the improvement
of the Rivers and Harbors of til,
United States to keep it open.
The Mississippi River commits
sion will be at the mouth of Re,
River about November u OIL
their tour of inspection. l
would be we'll for all of the mu
nicipal, parochial and CONNER
cial bodies within the territor.
interested, to appoint delegates t
meet the commission at tn,
mouth of Red River and show tn
necessity of an ample appropri
alton for keeping open the moutl
of Red River.
