ator Thomas f. I<ilby, who has just re-
turned from an extended absence from
the city, during which time he visited
Panama, Central and South American
cities. and spent several weeks in New

gard TO his proposed race for the lieu
tenant governorship.< although he states
that he found a number of letters on his
return home from friends who would De
glad to see him enter the campaign.
Several of his friends have urged him to
make the race for governor, believing
that in view of the excellent record he
has established as business man and
as a lawmaker in the last legislature, ana
as twice mayor of Admission, he would
stand a good show of election. He says,
however, that. even though he knew he
could be elected, his business interests
would not permit of his assuming the Of
flee of governor at the present time.
Mr.. I<ilby is president OF the Annlston-
City National bank and of the kiiby Loco
motive and Machine works in this city,
besides the Kilby Frog and Switcn COM

strictly business administration, ana
would run on the same platform on Which
he stood in making the race FOR the STATE
senate. The chief plank in that PLATFORM
declared in favor of working the state
convicts on the public roads. Mr.. kiipy
says he believes that by the application
of backbone and business sense, Alabama
has enough laws now on the statutes 10
meet all emergencies, and he does not pe-
Iieve the financial situation justifles an
extra session of the legislature.

SPEAKS FOR
HER MOTHER
North Carolina Lady Writes
Interesting Letter Relat-
ing Her Mothers
Experiences

Taylorville, n. C.-In an interesting
letter from this place, Mrs Stella Nj.
Bowman writes as follows; MY
mother was weak and run down, and
was in bed for nine weeks. She was
not able to do any of her work.
some lady told her about cardui. the
woman's tonic She decided to try it,
and. after taking three bottles was
able to do all of her household work.
You may publish this letter II you
wish, as it would bs great pleasure
to me to know that l have been of help
to some suffering woman"
The best way TO relieve womanly
troubles. pains, headaches, backache,
etc. is to help nature by taking cardui.
cardui has not only been found Of
great assistance in relieving. the most
serious cases of womanly trouble, but
has also proven itself an ideal
strength building tonic for weak, tired,
nervous women.
Cardui is successful, because 1t is
composed of ingredients that act effec-
lively on the womanly constitution,
and build UP health and strength in a
natural manner. 1t is strictly a wom-
ans medicine--prepared exclusively
for women.
Fifty years success in relieving
aches and pains of other weak and all
ing women is a good reason to believe
that Cardui should help you, too.

Mr. Joblots looked hurt.
'l'm serious said he. IT'S the truth.
You can plant potato parings and they'll
grow just as good as pieces of potato cut
out around each eye, which is the usual
manner of planting for potato growing.
