Mayor A. R. Henderson has
had considerable sickness in
his home in the past few weeks.
Mrs. Henderson has been con-
fined to the bed for several
weeks and the Journal is glad
to state that she is resting very
well this afternoon. Little Miss
Frances has recovered from
the measles and is now able to
attend school, and Master Joe
Thomas, who has had a severe
attack of the measles is able to
be up.—Groesbeck Journal.
While the measels are to be
expected and are not necessa-
rily dangerous, the many
friends of Mr. Henderson will
sympathize with him in the ill-
ness of his good wife, who is in
a dangerous condition with
cancer of the stomach.
Schulz's Drug Store does not
run much to fine fixtures, but

UP AGAINST IT
From Wednesdays Daily
J. T. Robinson, operator of
the News office has been on the
sick list for several days and
Tuesday was acting under or-
ders of a doctor and had to lay
up. Charlie Swinburn not be-
ing accustomed to the machine
proceeded to set the locals, but
unfortunately mashed a finger
very near off, thus abondoning
the machine and went to press
with what was already set.
The regular machine man was
on duty today, but had to again
go to bed before all the locals
were set, but we hope the News
readers will overlook our trou-
bles this time, as it is the first
time J. T. has had a doctor with
him in many years.
SICK LIVER CAUSES
DIZZINESS.
Headache, biliousness, chron-
ic constipation and muddy com-
plexion are signs that your ov-
erworked liver needs Po-Do-
Lax to take up a part of the
burden. Po-Do-Lax is Na-
ture's remedy, a liquid laxative
derived from the May-apple, a
gentle liver stimulant that in-
creases the flow of bile and by
its mildly laxative quality car-
ries off the impurities that have
clogged the intestines and aids
Nature to clear the blood. Get
a bottle today. At all Drug-
gists, 50c.

THE BEST RECOMMENDA-
TION.
The strongest recommenda-
tion any article may receive
is a faoravble word from
the user. It is the recommen-
dations of those who have used
it that makes Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy so popular.
Mrs. Mrs. Amanda Gierhart,
Waynesfield, Ohio, writes,
"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has been used in my family off
and on for twenty years and it
has never failed to cure a cough
or cold." Obtainable every-
