Light Plant Breaks Down.

The light plant broke down
Friday night and the city has
since been in darkness as far as
the streets are concerned. The
cause of the break down was the
twisting in two of the engine
shaft driving the dynamo, an
accident which no one could
have foreseen or anticipated. A
new abaft was ordered from the
factory and the fly wbeela sent
to the shops at Brenham where
the repairs are to be made as
soon as possible. In the mean
time, the new engine and big
electric generator are on the
road from the factory, and aa
soon as they arrive, they will be
installed immediately, ^A.t any
rate the city will not remain in
the dark very long. There has
been a great demand for lamps
and oil ever since the break
down, and people are just be-
ginning to realize what a very
great convenience electric lights
have been.

If it will induce some suffering woman to try CarduL 1 had
pains all over, and suffered with an abscess. Three phy-
sicians failed to relieve me. Since taking Cardui, 1 am in
better health than ever before, and that means much to me,
because I suffered many years with womanly troubles, of
different kinds. What other treatments 1 tried, helped me
for a few days only."

Don't wait, until you are taken down sick, before tak-
ing care of yourself. The small achcs and pai: s, and other
symptoms of womanly weakness and disease, clways mean

You would always keep Cardui handy, if you knew
what quick and permanent relief It gives, where weakness
and disease of the womanly system makes lift seem hard
to bear. Cardui has helped ever a million wor. cn. Try it
