Life
Was a
Misery
Mrs. F. M. Jones of
Palmer Okla. writes:
"From the time I en-
tered into womanhood
... I looked with dread
from one month to the
next. I suffered with my
back and bearing-down
pain until life to me was
a misery. I would think
I could not endure the
pain any longer and I
gradually got worse. .
Nothing seemed to help
me until one day . .
I decided to
TAKE
success and are past the experimental
Stage and the city will not make a
mistake in installing one of them.

More Evidence of
Housing Shortage
Shown by Cookston
As an instance showing the need.
lor more housing facilities in Brown-1
ood; M. C. Cookston who recently-f
advertised a house for rent in "the
Brownwood Bulletin reports that" he. j
had more than thirty applicants for
the house. He also states that there
are two are three cars on the tracks
il'ed.wiUi household goods; the.. own-
ers bcink unable to finrl lmiise; in
which to put their effects. A day or'
two ago he uuioadeit one far. and j
vhen the truck "arrived -al the house'
which the new citizen supposed he
had rented hc found that another fam-
ily had beaten him to it and were
busily engaged in sorting out and ar-
ranging their furniture. Mr. Cook-
ston said he had to keep those goods
on his truck all day and it was not
until late in the day a place was
found and that was in a very undesir-
able section a house in keeping with-
the surroundings.
DEAR LADIES!
There is no doubt but what some of
you married the first man that pro-
posed to you. Now-since it is all oyer
don't you think it would have paid yon
to have done a little more shopping?
-Maybe no. Maybe yes. Anyway you
had better.build you a new home while
the building time is good.

The Njcw Edison is the only phonograph which goes deeper than mere
sound land Re-Creates that s)du1 which is the very life of real music.
It alone gives you the fascinating lilt of the dance the soaring soul of
grand opera the inspired tone-jpainting of famous sym'phonies-the sim-
ple heart searching ballads equally as well j as the artists themselv.es
could give if they came in perjson to your home. I
This is absolutely true. Edison has given more than 3000 .tests in
which he has had fifty different artists sing and play with

the New Edison does not make you feel all the emotions which you
experienced when you last heard that artist.
