The fame of G. F. P. is
being spread mainly by
those women who are
using it. They are so as
tonished at the remarka-
BILE changes it brings
about in their condition
that they cannot rest I'M
til they have told some
other suffering woman
about its wonderful merit.
And the fact that it sue
ceeds SO easily where
many other medicines
fail, only increases the
amazement of those wo-
men who are fortunate
! enough to be using this
phenomenal medicine.
But there is really moth
ing SO very surprising in
the thing that its discov-
erers have done. They
! have only applied COM
mon sense principles to
the treatment of woman's
ailments. They h ave
made the most sensible
theory practical fact.
1 1t. was their belief that
Catarrh of the Female
Organs is the cause of
nine out of every ten
cases of so-called female
disorders" How we'll this
theory has been proven
out in fact is shown by
the increasing number of
women who, like Mrs.
Webster, are now finding
relief from pain and suf-
fering of years standing
by using this great and
wonderful medicine.
Mrs. Annie Webster,
who lives at 1901 Rogers
Ave, right here in San
Antonio, and is the moth
pr Of two lovely young
sters, is among the many
fortunate and happy wo-
men who are finding

CHARITY CHEST
EXPLAINED To
v D N { n
Catholic Council Members
Hear Director of S. A.
Campaign.

Community Chest plans were OK
planned at a meeting of the Loca
Council of Catholic Women in lunch
con session at the Menger Hotel
Thursday noon. Mrs. r. ]. Moore
council president, presided and the
speaker was Billy McEwen. associate
director of the American City Bureau,
which is conducting the campaign in
San Antonio.
The Community Chest plan, Mr..
McEwen said, was originated in Den
yer in 1887, he said. by a Catholic
priest, a Jewish rabbi and two Prot
estant ministers. The idea is to CEN
tralize into one body the raising OF
funds for maintaining all civic and
charitable organizations. The origin
ators of the plan. Mr.. McEwcn said.
raised $4,000 the first year and il
was so satisfactory that Denver has
been following 1t during the IS years
that have INTERVIEWED. This year Den.
vcr is making a campaign for $751;
900. Since the inception of the plan.
ne continued, more than 100 Of the
leading cities of the United States
have adopted it.
In San Antonio there are 81 or.
sanitation TO participate in the fund.
Thus" he said, instead of conduct
ing. that many campaigns. there will
be but one. thereby effecting an enor-
nous saving in time and work. both
on the part of the committees and the
persons who contribute.
1T does not lessen the effectiveness
of the work of the various organiza-
tons, but rather enables them TO do
better work with less effort" he said.
The Council represents the eight
Catholic organizations which will par
ticipate in the funds raised and the
various representatives will return 10
their societies and explain the plan.

use of st. Joseph's G. F.
P. She says: Nobody
knows how l suffered
from female trouble
since nay first baby came.
My back ached from the
base of my neck all down
my spine. This got me
in such a nervous condi-
ton l would jump at the
least noise. l suffered
from dreadful cramping
spells and dizziness every
month. l couldn't eat or
sleep enough to keep up
my strength, and l was so
listless and depressed |
didn't want to go any,
where and didn't take any
interest in anything.
"My sister noticed how
'all-in' l was looking, and
advised me to try St.
Joseph's G. F. P. because
so many of her friends
are getting such wonder
full results using it. l am
glad she told me about it,
because after using two
bottles l feel like a new
person.
81 eat heartily and
thoroughly e njoy my
meals. l sleep like a log
and am so refreshed in
the mornings l feel as
buoyant as a girl. Those
awful backaches, cramps
and dizzy spells are only
unpleasant memories now.
| really enjoy my home
duties and never get
nervous or tired any more.
It's so glorious to be well
and strong again and
have the pep to 60 and
do like other women, |
am doing all l can to let
other sick and suffering
women know about st.

CHILD LAW
Legislature Gets Bill to
Refer Amendment

OLYMPIA. Jan. fs.--Ainrmed
" By the growing sentiment in
favor Of ratification Of the child
labor law. the legislature today
sought 90 dodge the issue and
pass the buck 20 tho voters.
Senator l. L. westfall. OF spo.
kane. introduced n bill 70 refer
the ratification. on an advisory
ballot az the November. 1926.
election.
Westfall's reason. he said. was
that he thought the matter IL
one for the people TO decide"
The result Of the ballotlng. how
ever. will not bind the legisla-
ture 10 any action.
Passage Of the bill. however,
would be temporary victory
for friends OF ratification. II
would stave Off almost newt.
able defeat at this session.
This defeat. Of course. would
not prevent the ratification res.
olution coming up again in the
1927 legislature. and in every
legislature subsequently, until II
finally passed.
The bill was referred 10 the
judiciary committee. Of which
westfaIl Is chairman. probably
ensurlng favorable action in

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-January
w 16 marks five years of national
prohibition. In every national elec.
ton since nationwide prohibition
went into effect the people have sig.
nified their approval OF prohibition
by increasing the dry majorities in
both house and senate.
The congress has evidently reflect
ed accurately public sentiment OF the
nation in adoption, first, OF the ma.
tional prohibition act TO enforce the
18th amendment; then the supple
mental prohibition act to strengthen
IL; the appropriations TO sustain the
prohibition enforcement department;

prevent rum smuggling; the concen-
tration warehouse measure.
T LEGISLATION is now pending to
II put prohibition agents under
civil service and coordinate enforce.
ment activities This legislation has
passed the house 10y a large majority
and is now before the senate.
During the operation OF prohibi.
ton. the decreased arrests for drunk
enness have numbered 100000 an
nually. There have been 200, 900 few
or industrial accidents.
