E. P. RIPLEY
Ft. Worth, Tex.—E. P. Ripley,
president of the Santa Fe Railway
syatem, appeared before the Welfare
Commission in this city Tuesday
and gave his viewa on tne railroad
situation of Texaa from a practical
standpoint.
In a plain, atraightforward man-
ner and with a frankness peculiarly
his own, the noted railroad man
pointed out the difficulties that con-
front the growth and progress of the
railroad industry in Texas.
Mr. Ripley contended that rail-
roads should be permitted to issue
securities to the full value of their
property and should be allowed to
issue bonds for improvement pur-
poses ; that railroad investments
were not bringing a fair return; that
the tax value waa greater than the
earning value; that personal injury
and damage payments in Texas were
far in excess of those of other states
and suggested that the railroad com-
mission should be removed as far
from political influence as possible.
The next session of the Welfare
Commission will be held at San An-
tonio on Monday, June 10th, and
those who desire to defend the pre-
sent laws as relates to railroads are
urgently invited to be present, as
the commission is anxious to hear
all sides of the subject.
Letter From Mr. Goforth.
Mrs. Z. E. Goforth. 2119 Holly
street, Kansas City, writes : "After
using a sample bottle and two 25-cent
bottles of Hunt's Lightning Oil, I
am almost well of Catarrh. It stops
my headaches. It is the best medi-
cine I ever saw, and I just can't
keep house without it." She is
right. 13-5t

IMPORTANT NEWS TO
CALOMEL USERS
Dodson's Liver-Tone is a Perfect
Vegetable Substitute for Calomel
and ia Guaranteed Absolute-
ly Harmless.
If you have trouble with constipa-
tion or biliousness, be careful how
you take calomel, becauae calomel
is a form of mercury, and if mer-
cury, and if mercury remains in the
aystem very long, it will aalivate
and seriously injure the strongest
person that ever lived. If you need
something to start the liver to work-
ing take Dodson's Liver-Tone. It
is a harmless vegetable liquid which
will liven up the liver better than
calomel does and without any bad
after-effects. No restriction of hab-
it or diet is necessary. Dodson's
Liver-Tone is as safe for children
as it is for grown people and every-
body likes its taste.
Buy a bottle for fifty cents from
Betts-Clark drug store, and if you
do not find that it absolutely takes
the place of calomel, this drug store
will give you your money back if
you ask for it.
