FULLY DESCRIBED
A Lady Of Pizarro Tells Story Of
Awful Suffering That Cardui
Finally Relieved.

Pizarro, Val suffered for several
years." writes Mrs. Donna A. Smith,
with that awful backache and the bear
ing down sensations, so fully described
in your book.
81 tried doctors and other medicines
and found little relief, until was induced
to try Wine of Cardui, when found in
stant relief and today l can heartily
recommend Cardui to all suffering women
and think there is no other as good"
In some instances, Cardui gives instant
relief; in others, it may take a little time.
But IL: al! cases Of female trouble Cardui
can be depended on to be of benefit, as
it is specific remedy for women and
acts in a curative way on the womanly
organs.
AS a general tonic for women, to build
up your strength, improve your appe-
tite, bring back rosy cheeks and make
you look and feel young and happy,
nothing you can find will do so much for
you as Cardui.
Your druggist has it.

fraud.
He is George Yantis, prosecut-
ing attorney of Thurston county.
Not Resentful.
There are those in position to
know who say that II he had been
allowed to keep the whip in driv-
ing the vice ring from it's control
of the capital, the ringsters would
be lodging behind the bars to-
day.
Yet If you ask Yantis about it,
he'll tell you that Listers meth
DDS, though they are far different
than his methods would have
been, may prove to be the more
successful methods in the end.
Gives 1t to Tanner.
Lister at the start took the
job from Yantis hands and placed
1t in the hands OF Tanner. an old
err and more experienced" man.
Tanner, by mis- authority as at
torney general, has the right to
retain the services of the county
prosecutor and direct his move
ments.
But the reporters at Olympia
have been waiting around for
weeks for something to happen.
They say Yantis Ia good and
sore, but he doesn't show it.
Il feel confident that Gov. Lis
ter will win out, by his methods
in the end Yantis told me. He
is sincerely doing everything In
his power to bring il about. There
will be a thorough cleanup in the
end. His methods may be fan
better than mine would have
been, for all l know. All the
talk about his hands being TIED
is absolutely false
Yantis' methods are to nab your
man first and draw up your pa
/ pers afterward.
If anybody's hands are being
tied, they are Yantis, not Listers
The U. =. agents, state Of
ficials and Burns detectives
who have at last Joined forces
at Olympia also predict
successful clean-up-in the
end.
There can be but one end,
in the end.
But when is 1t going to
be?
Maybe Tanner can say.
How long are the peanut
politicians and the crooks GO
ing to be given free reign to
whirl their noisy nooses In an
effort to lodge them about
Listers neck?

SUFFERS
RELAPSE

Suffering relapse as the re-
suit of attending council session
yesterday, Mayor A. V. Fawcett
was ordered by his physicians to-
day to remain in bed indefinitely.
A trained nurse is with him
night and day.
That the mayor is in serious
condition was openly rumored to-
day. From members of the fam
lily, 1T was learned that physicians
several days ago told Fawcett that
IL he did not remain indoors and
take every precaution for his
health, they would not offer
hopes for his recovery.
Threatened With Pneumonia.
Mayor Fawcett is threatened
with pneumonia. For several
weeks he has been suffering d
hacking cough.
He was forced some time ago
to give up smoking.
When the recent la grippe cpl
demic occurred, the mayor was
one of the first to succumb.
4
He stuck steadfastly to his
desk, however, despite his severe
illness, until a physician, called
in by Mrs. Fawcett, ordered him
to remain in bed.
No Visitors Permitted.
The next day, the mayor APP
peared at his office as usual, but
returned home in worse condi-
ton. The physician advised him
and others of the family that he
had risked his life by leaving
home. =
Yesterday, because the power
franchise ordinance was up for
second reading, the mayor again
jeopardized himself by resuming
his official duties.
He presided for an hour, when
he became SO weak and i'll that
it was necessary for him to be
taken home in city car.
No one is permitted to see him
today.
