Tennessee's Vote for
 Convention Uncertain

Nashville, August 4.-Slow returns of the election on the question of constitu- tional convention make the outcome of the referendum uncertain. Forty-two of ninety-six counties in the state. so far reported, give a majority of 14,0O0 for a convention. All the larger cities voted in favor of the convention and the opposi- tion is mostly confined to small inland counties. The official canvass of the re- turns will be made in all counties next Monday
 Today reports confirm the renomina- tion of Congressman T. w. Sims, Finis J. Garrett and Lemuel P. Padgett, who
 had opposition but the contest in the
 Fifth congressional district in which
 Congressman William c. Houston is op-
 posed by Judge Ewing l.. Davis and George L. Diemer, is still undetermined. Houston claims his majority over the
 other two candidates is 13O, while Davis claims the official count will snow that Houston failed to secure majority and a run-off primary is necessary. In the Fifth district Congressman w. c. Houston was opposed by Judge Ewin l.. Davis and George l.. Diemer. In the Seventh Congressman Padgett had as his opponent J. Grady Jones. In the Eighth Representative Thetus w. Sims was op- posed by Dudley Porter. and in the Ninth Fins J. Garrett and J. D. Senter made the race.

MEXICANS COMING SOON

Mexico City, August 1.-The text of the Carranza note to the United States con- corning the conference proposed between representatives of the two countries was rot made public here today. It is stated that no word had been received from Elizo Arredondo, Mexican ambassador designate at Washington, regarding the time and place for the proposed confer ence. A place in or out of the United States would be satisfactory to the Car ranza government.
 Ygnacio Bonillas. one of the delegates selected to represent Mexico returned today from Vera Cruz. It is expected the delegates will receive their last in- structions and will leave here as soon as the time and place for the meeting is decided upon.
 The war office reports victories over bandits in skrmishes in Gaunajuata, near Toluca. and in Neuvo Leon. The bandit Magdalena Cedillo is reported to have lost 20 dead in the engagement in the state of Neuvo Leon.

CHILD LABOR BILL UNCONSTITUTIONAL
 CLAIMS HARDWICK
tcontinued from rage one,

other senator, but he did not believe Con- gress had Jurisdiction over the state in such matters and he confidently expected the supreme court would hold the pend- ing measure unconstitutional if it was enacted into law. Georgia, he said, al- ready had on Its statute books a better measure.
 Senator Borah. urging passage of the bill, asserted that the principle upon which the constitutionality of the meas ure could be sustained by the supreme court was the police power of Congress over interstate commerce. It must be conceded. he declared, that there were some things so bad that they must be de- nied the channels of interstate commerce and that line had to be drawn sone- where. When 1t came to discrimination in such matter it was clearly apparent that 1t could not be left to the states, and must necessarily fall upon Congress.
 The Idaho senator did not submit the immigration bill as an amendment to the pending measure. but may do so be- fore the bill reaches a vote.

NO MEDICINE LIKE "FERRALINE," SAYS
 MRS. COLEMAN
In Bed Five Months From Ul- cerated Condition of Stom- ach Due to Poor Digestion and Weakness

T never expected to get up from my bed was the remark of Mrs. Leathia Coleman of Salitpa, Ala, Clarke county, ''and to think that I am well and can enjoy life again. It's great.
 ''The first bottle of 'Ferraline did me so much good that I was abled to sit up. I did not take but three bottles and I have not felt that I needed any Fer raline' now In several weeks
 "The first bottle I received from the company, at Frankville, as at that time I could not buy 1t here in Salitpa, being not large town, the merchants had not secured the agency for 'Ferraline.
 ITO secure the second bottle I did not wait until I could get it from the company. I sent my son 10 miles for it. Since then I have been able to buy the third bottle from May & McCorquodale. who have taken the Ferraline agency for Salitpa.
 T could tell ..ou of many in this locality who have taken 'Ferraline' and the good it is doing in relieving those who suffer from indigestion can't be esti- mated.
 From the manner In which I suffered, I am convinced that a person with in- digestion, will be liable to many differ ent ailments due to poor digestion. If your stomach will properly digest the food do not see how there can be any 61CKneSS. w nat you eat IS lHe SOuTCe of life, this does not digest, complications arise, and there develops fermentation, inflammation. etc. The system becomes clogged, the blood is poisoned, the vital organs of the body do not perform their duty, and then your body becomes tho prey to the first disease affecting the weakest point, such as typhoid, malaria, and other fevers. Rheumatism and other blood afflictions take hold, and in truth you do not know what is the trouble.
 If everyone would take a bottle of 'Ferraline Tonic even if they did not think they needed any tonic, they would see how much better they would be. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
 'Ferraline Tonic aids digestion, gives rich blood to the body and aids the organs in throwing off surplus mat ter or waste. as does no other remedy l have ever known.
 'Tt does not contain any alcohol, but from the formula on the package shows that the ingredients are beneficial and not a single one injurious. I could take a teaspoonful or more in water every 15 minutes if 1t were necessary without any fear of Injury. Of course this would not be necessary except in extreme cases such cramp collie or acute indigestion and the like. I took Ferraline' as di- rected after meals, or three times day as a tonic and as often as I would feel like the need of it when the occasion demanded"
