Grandfield, Okla.-One of the best
known farmers of Tilman County, Mr..
G. w. Tisdale, who owns and manages

81 have used Thedford'S Black
Draught-I believe can safely say for
fifty years.
81 was born and reared in Texas,
Freestone County, sixty-four years ago.
I have been married forty-four years.
My father used Black-Draught before
was married, and gave it to us =.
For forty-four years of my married
life, it has had place on our med1-
cine shelf. and is the only laxative. or
liver medicine, we use. We use 1t
for torpid liver, sour stomach, head
ache, indigestion :. don't think we
could get along without 1t, knowing
what it has done for us, and the money
it has saved. 1t is just as good and re-
liable today as it was when we began
its use. My boys use it and they are
satisfied it's the best liver medicine
they have ever used.
-Thedford's Black-Draught is purely
vegetable, not disagreeablc to take
and acts in prompt and natural way.
So many thousands of persons have
been benefited by the Sc of Thedfords
Black Draught, you should have no
hesitancy III trying this valuable OLD

His first public work was the Preparedness Commit

Mexican War Department. The most
strenuous efforts are being made
to put the country in such a posi-
ton that II will be very difficult for
wouid-be revolutionists to make .
success Of any attempt against the
constituted powers.
Owing to the vast extent Of the
country. its generally broken nature,
It's high mountain and its deep and
rugged ravines, means of rapid COM

This invites revolution: and when It
is not formal revolution, then dis
order and q lack Of respect Of the
Federal authorities.
The Obregon government has set
out vigorously to remedy this evil.
From the point Of view of the
Mexican War Department, the most
dangerous quarter from which revo-

northern international boundary.

clusively that It Is practically i'm
