"Tucumcari, N. NJ, May 30, 1915
To whom il may Concern:
"As it has been reported that Mr..
Dismukes has been candidate on the
Democratic ticket and that The M. b.
Goldenberg Company were in favor Of
his running for such an office, we here
by desire to state to the public that
we have advised Mr.. Dismukes, at diff
ferent times, not to run for any po-
litical office, and we regret very much
that he has seen fit to enter into poll
tics as we would like to have him
stay with US in his present capacity.
There is no truth in any statement
connecting our name with the candi-
dacy of any party on either ticket as
we have never been, are not now, and
do not intend at any further time to
enter politics. Any statement made
to the contrary is made by irrespon-
sible parties.
Yours for business only,

In Longueval, France for more than
thirty years, the Able Constantin has

Scots arrive, their first duty is to
visit the Able. He learns that they
are good Catholics and he is almost

give him money to distribute to the
poor.
Jean had never met such women be-
fore and for the life of him could not
decide which OF the two was the more
beautiful; which had the smaller feet,

that followed eating. Headaches also
would add to my worries. Poor d.

Relief came, however, when i took

said, Take tonoline.'
Not long after | started the tono-

quickest way to beauty, the improve

Tonoline is a purely vegetable pre-,

Notice-As tonoline is a wonderful
flesh builder it should not be taken
by any one not wishing to increase

from those who have been benefited
by tonoline in severe cases of stomach
