"I can certainly speak a good word for Cardui, the woman's tonic," says Mrs. Jay Iihoades, of this town. "I suffered for 12 years with my right side, and the last three years, I would have a bad spell with it about every three months. I would get so bad off, every one would think I could not live. The first of July, I began taking Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I haven't had a bad spell since soon after I began taking it. Before taking Cardui, I was so ir regular, and, at times, I could hardly stand on my feet. Now, I can clean house, and do any kind of work with out its hurting me in the least. Cardui will surely do for other women, what it did for me. I arn tell ing all my neighbors about it." Cardui is a mild and effective tonic for women, that has been found, by actual use, during more than 50 years, to relieve the ailments to which all women are peculiarly liable. Card-u-i has helped thousands. Why not you? Try it. NCEJ 2 SENATOR HITCH COOK MEETINi WITH SUCCE Cites Republican Prophecies as to Re sult of Democratic Rule in Nation. Neligh, Neb., Sept. W. Senator Hitchcock's audiences made pr.rt of his speech for him at Tilden, Oakdale and Neiligh today, this being the first day's run of the senator's second week's campaign tour for re-election. The biggest meeting of the day was at the court nouse in Neligh, where 200 voters were gathered. J. D. Hatfield, 80 years old, one of the best known democrats in this section of the state, presided. In each speech Senator Hitchcock stopped a moment to exhibit a post card sent out by the republican state committee in 1912 and given him at Bloomfield last week by a farmer v. ho had saved it. The card pictured the various products of the farm and gave prices in 1912, prophesying ruin and desolation in case Wwodrovv Wil son should be elected president in that ear. "This card gives the price of oats at 30 cents," said Senator Hitchcock. "Will someone tell me what is being paid here now?" "Thirty-eight cents," came a voice from the crowd. "Not much ruin here because of Woodiow Wilson's admin istration,"' commented the senator. "The card quotes the price of hogs in 1912 at $9..r0 a hundred pounds. What do hogs bring here today?'' "Ten twenty-five," a man in the crowd answered. "Not much ruin there," repeated Senator Hitchcock. "Now, how about corn. It is listed here at 05 cents." "And now it's 75," shouted a listen er before the senator had time to ask the question. "And wheat,' continued Senator Hitchcock, "is listed here at 90 cents. What does it bring now?" "A dollar and thirty-eight cents," called a farmer. "There you see what the republi cans prophesied four years ago," con tinued Senator Hitchcock. "They told you ruin would follow Wilson's elec tion. You yourself, here today, have declared that prophesy false. You can't be frightened again into voting against your convictions." Hit With the Crowds. The informal catechism made a hit with the crowds, as attested by ap plause and laughter. "Bless you, boy, you're all right, just like your daddy was in his time," was the unusual greeting Senator Hitchcock received from E. W. Wright of Neligh, an aged man who rode clear to Tilden and heard all three of the day's speeches. "I knew your father when he was a senator," Mr. Wright explained. "I was a republican then, but I have been a democrat since 1888, and I'm proud of you." At Fremont, en route to Norfolk by a morning train, Senator Hitch cockmet State Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction A. O. Thomas on the station platform. Mr. Thomas, a re publican candidate for re-election, was returning from Madison county, where he had dedicated a new consolidated rural school. "Let me tell you that your demo cratic platform on the consolidated rural school is right," he said. "It should make the party many votes." The republican platform is silent on the issue. Answered by Colorado Bankers AUGUST 1916 On August 21, 1916, a letter was sent by the Chairman of the Dry Federation of Plattsmouth to 36 banks in cities in Colorado, having from 3,000 to 10,000 popula tion, asking for an answer to the question: "Will you give me your unprejudiced opinion of the effect of prohibition on business and finance." The Commercial Savings Bank, of Trinidad, Colorado, answered as follows: "Our deposits July 1st, 1915, were $670,000 " " 1916, " 870,000 An increase of $200,000. We do not give prohibition credit for all this increase, but we are positive it had a whole lot to do with it. After prohibition went into ef fect" January 1st, 1916, we opened 33 new accounts the first week. The merchants claim collections are much better since Colorado went dry, and we can back up that statement." The Farmers' Nation Bank, of Longmont, Colorado, answered: "My unprejudiced opinion is that State Wide Prohibition is beneficial to business. Our deposits have increased during the past year $300,000." The First National Bank, of Salida, Colorado, answered: "Our local merchants with whom I have talked from time to time, those who sell the necessities of life such as groceries, meats, dry goods, etc., say that since prohi bition has been in effect, their bills and accounts are better and more promptly paid, and the bank accoonts of a number of these merchants bear out the statement thus made to us." The First National Bank, of Boulder, Colorado, answered: "There is not a merchant in our town, no matter how broad and liberal he is in his views, who does not favor prohibition, and would vote for it at every opportunity. Not a person in this bank voted for prohibition when the town went dry, and today every one would vote for prohibition." The First National Bank, of La Junta, Colorado, answered: "I can say most emphatically that it is my unprejudiced opinion that the State has never experienced the loss of a single dollar because of the State Wide Prohibi tion, but on the contrary, it has been of incalculable value. The business men of Trinidad were oppossed to prohibition, but when, during the coal strike the saloons were closed by military authorities and they had a chance to try it awhile, they were converted to the other side. It is the unanimous sentiment of business men every where that collections are better and they lose less in bad accounts under prohibition than during the sway of the saloon. La Junta is a railroad town and I have been cashier of this bank for twenty-five years, and I can testify to these facts most em phatically." The First National Bank, of Canon City, Colorado, answered: "While I personally did not favor it, I am willing to admit that I think it is a ben efit to the State." First National Bank, of Trinidad, Colorado, answered: "During the campaign a great many people who owned real estate thought that they would be ruined if the State went dry; that rents would come down and their buildings would be unoccupied. However, they have found that when the saloons went out that the store rooms were quickly occupied by new business, and some of the real estate owners have expressed themselves positively that they would vote dry on the proposition if ever submitted again.'

STURM Candidate for STATE SENATOR Solicits Your Support Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, end that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Dearness is caused by an In flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is lntiamed you have a rumbling sound or Im perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearinfr wiil b destroyed forever, llany cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is ar ir.Camed condition of ihe mucous sur faces. Kail's Catarrh Meuicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for nny case of Catarrhal Deaiitess that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine.
