Cattlemen Endorse Alpine
Man For Reelection
as President.

Austin, Texas, Feb. -23.-From what
prominent members of the Cattle Rails
ers' Association of Texas who have
visited Austin during the week say, Joe
Jackson. Of Alpine, will be reelected
president of that organization in san
Antonio next month without opposl-
ton. Mr.. jackson has been here
spreading the light before the Texas
legislators as to the needs of the cattle
raisers OF Texas. He has done MS
work without any flare Of trumpets or
beating of drums. And he has done II
thoroughly. Not only has he made
plain what the cattIemen need, but he
has also made plain what the cattlemen
hone TO attain. He has pitched the am
bition Of cattle raisers upon a hgh
plane.
Il trust" said John Landergrin, OF
Amarillo, first vice president OF the
Cattle Raisers' association, in speaking
of Mr. Jackson's work, that Mr. jack
son will be reelected president Of the
association without opposition. He has
not only been faithful in the discharge
of his duties as president, but he mas
also exercised the highest degree OF
judgment in ascertaining those things
most desired by the cattlemen. For
him to have opposition at San Antonio
would be a, challenge to the statement
that the stockmen OF Texas are men OF
good poise and appreciation For my
self. 1 can conceive of no condition that
could arise warrantinG serious opposi-

CONGRESSMAN SUGGESTS
JOINT INTERVENTION

Cincinnati, Ohio. Feb. 23.-Joint in
tervention of governments on the
American continent to settle the con-
tinuai disturbances in Mexico was ad-
vOcated by representative James W
Sladen of Texas, speaking before the
American School Peace league here
Monday night.
He said in part:
.I thoroughly agree with a large
part of president Wilson's Indianapolis
speech in which he touched on the
strife sin Mexico.
However. there is a danger, very
great and imminent, that these forces
may be 1oosed if the Mexican trouble
continues much longer, which no man
can control.
'I feel quite confident that more
serious trouble can be prevented But
it cannot be done by ignoring the just
demands of Americans in Mexico.
ct may be reasonably assumed that
all the peaceful and orderly govern
ments on this continent would like to
see the Mexican nuisance abated.
suggest a joint Intervention, which
really need not go beyond a representa-
ton by all, OF nearly all, the American
governments It will accomplish what
we pacificists want and would prob
ably do il without war"

THE CHARM
 OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
 cal Health.

The experience of Motherhoodis is try ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or un- derstands how to properly care for her. self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi- ence with an organism unftted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results.
 There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed childbirth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with ann pie time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial.
 Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism.
