TO be Governor was ousted from of
flee Saturday by the Senate High
Court of Impeachment. There were
81 charges returned against the for
mer Texas governor. William P
Hobby, of Beaumont, Texas, who has
been acting governor since the tria
of Governor Ferguson started, viii
finish the unexpired term of the lat,
ter, which ends in January, 1919.
Governor Ferguson it will be re,
called, was charged with the misap'
~propriatoin of state funds and when
the court of impeachment began in,
vestigations found that the chief
executive had been dealing in many
transactions that were not in keep
ing with a statesman. Ten of the
t%wenty-one counts were sustained
against him, and this carries with it
the disbarrment of holding future
office, but in Governors Ferguson's
case it may be changed.
The ballot was 27 to 4 in favor
of sustaining the charge of misap-
preparation of $500 of the Canyon
City Normal Funds. Other charges
were that the former governor pro-
flied from the deposits of the said
normal and from many other state
deposits in different banks over
Texas.

SALTS IF KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and
Neutrafize Irritating Acids

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to
irritate and inflame, causing a burn
ing, scalding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck of the
bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse
again, Ghere is difficulty in avoiding
it.
Bladder weakness, most folks, call
it, because they can't control uirna-
ton. While it is extremely annoy
ing and sometimes very painful, this
is really one of the most simple all
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from your phar-
macist and take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast, con-
tinue this for two or three days. This
will neutralize the acids in the urine
so it no longer is a source of irrita-
ton to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with Ii
thia, and is used by thousands of
folks who are subject to urinary dis.
orders caused by uric acid irritation
Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effer-
vescent l~ithia-water drink, which
quickly relieves bladder trouble

LOOK AT A CHILD'S
TONGUE WHEN CROSS,
FEVERISH AND SICK
Take No Chances! Move Poisons
From Liver and Bowels at
Once.

Mothers can rest easy after giving
"California Syrup of Figs" because
in a few hours all the clogged-up
waste, sour bile and fermenting food
gently moves out of the bowels, and
you have a we'll, playful child again.
Children simly will not take the time
from play to empty their bowels, and
they become tightly packed, liver
gets sluggish and stomach %disordered.
When cross, feverish, restless, see
if tongue is coated, then give this
delicious "fruit laxative" Children
love it, and it can not cause injury.
No difference what ails your little
one-if full of cold, or a ore throat,
diarrhoea, stomach-ache, bad breath,
remember, a gentle "inside cleans
ing" should always be the first treat
ment given. Full directions for ba-
bies, children of all ages and grown
ups are printed on each bottle.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot
tie of "California Syrup of Figs"
then look carefully and see that it
is made by the california Fig Syrup
Company" We make no smaller
size. Hand back with contempt any
other fig syrup.-Adv.

TANLAc'S SUCCESS DUE -,
TO REAL Merit
HOT AIR WILL PUT A BALLOON
UP BUT WON'T KEEP 1T
THERE.

This is an age of advertising, and
everyone is familiar with the popu-
lar saying, "It pays to advertise"
Advertising is a business force. So
potent is the charm cast by its spell
it has been known to perform mar
velous feats and to accomplish phe-
nominal results. It cannot be truly
said, however, that everyone who
~advertises succeeds, for unless full
value underlays the article adver-
tised, the advertising would ultimate
ly fall of it's own weight. In this
connection we must not forget the
words of the immortal Lincoln, who
said: "You can fool some of the
people all of the time; you can fool
all of the people. some of the time,
but you cannot fool all Of the people
all of the time" So if there is not
bheind every advertisement a dollars
and cents value to the article adver-
tised, no amount of advertising will
stimulate the sale on such an article
beyond a certain point. This applies
to every line of business. and the
modern business man or firm can
only succeed through honest adver-
Using and fair dealing.
Hot air will put up a balloon, but
it won't keep it there. So, when the
manufacturers of Tanlac placed it
on the market something over 2
years ago, they did so with the firm
conviction that they were offering to
the people tht best and purest pro-
duct of it's kind on TIE American
market today They lid not hest
tate, therefore, to eXpend vast sums
for advertising, because they knew
that the more the people heard about
Tanlac the more they would buy it.
The success the preparation achieved
was immediate, and people every
where were quick to recognize it's
genuine merit.
Tanlac has never been advertised
as a "cure-alI" or that it would per-
form unheard-of wonders. The ad-
vertising has been clean, straight
forward and constructive. Actual
facts and figures have been stated
and stated in a businesslike way in
a manner that has commanded conf
dence in the conservative claims set
forth. Underlying these claims there
has been real value, not from a dol
lars and cents point alone, but from
health as well. And that's just where
Tanlac has scored. And that's why
it is here to stay.
Tanlac, the master medicine, is
sold exclusively by P. B. Speed, Alb
beville; A. S. Cade, Bordeaux; J. T..
Black, Calhoun Falls; ]. H. Bell &
Sons, Due West; Cooley & Speer,

Stomach Not Helped
BY Artificial Digestents
Doctors Now Advise Magnesla for
Acid Indigestion,

Doctors Now Advise Magnesia for
Acid Indigestion.
Just how foolish it is to indis-
criminately dose the stomach with
drugs and medicines is often not
realized until too late. 1t seems
SO simple to swallow a dose of
some special mixture or take pep
sin tablets, or other artificial d.
gestents after meals, and the folly
of this drugging is not apparent
until, perhaps years afterward,
when chronic dyspepsia has de-
veloped or gastric ulcers have al
most or entirely eaten their way
through the stomach walls. Re-
grets are then unavailing.
1t is in the early stages when
Indigestion, dyspepsia, heartburn,
flatulence, etc. indicate excessive
acidity of the stomach or fermen-
tation of food contents that pre-
caution should be taken.
In excessive acidity digestents
are unsuitable and have little or
no influence upon the harmful
acid; that is why so many are dis
carding them and advising suffer-
ers from indigestion and stomach
trouble to get rid of the danger
Gus acid and keep the food con-
tents bland and sweet by taking a
little pure bisurated magnesia in
stead.
Bisurated Magnesia is a pleas
ant, harmless, antacid which can
be readily obtained from any drug
store. 1t is practically tasteless
and a teaspoonful taken in a little
hot or cold water after meals, will
usually be found quite sufficient
to instantly neutralize excessive
acidity of the stomach and thus
relieve the distress to which 1t is
giving rise.
