HUSBAND RESCUED < DESPAIRING WIFE After Four Years of Discouraging Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave Up in Despair. Husband Came to Rescue. Catron, Ky.--ln an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, I could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anywhere at all. At times, I would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treat ment relieved me for a while, but I was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. I had gotten so weak I .juld not stand, and I gave up in despair. At last, my husband gr me a bottle of Cardui, the woman's .onic, and I com menced taking it. F om the very first dose, I could tell it s helping me. I can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing my work." If you are all run down from womanly troubles, don't give up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped more than a million women, in its 50 years of wonderful success, and should surely help you, too. Your druggist has sold Cardui for years. He knows what it will do. Ask him. He will recom mend it. Begin taking Cardui today. Write to: Chattanooga Medicine Co.. Ladies' Advisory Dept.. Chattanooga, Tenn., for $pecial Iustrtctiuos on your case and 64-page book.

VOTES FOR WOMEN. Southern States Woman Suffrage Conference. 417 Camp Street, New Orleans. Idaho Jurywomen. A jury composed entirely of wo men recently served in the Boise, Idaho, district court. Of the venire of 24 women which was called, but one asked to be excused. The case for which the woman jury was sum moned involved the sale of a needle work store. In addition this panel of women was called to sit on the next case on the calendar, which con sidered an intricate transaction in the sale of sheep and the commission to be decided affecting the sale. There were two actions of a similar nature, and the jury rendered a verdict deny ing the commission in one case and allowing it in the other. The judge and attorneys stated that the women jurors gave closer attention to the cases than is customary with men's juries. Among the occupations of the jurywomen represented were teacher, fruit rancher, farmer, steno grapher, merchant and seamstress. This is not the first instance of wo men jurors, as there have been mixed juries of men and women in justice courts in several of the states where women vote, and in every instance the verdict has been acceptable. Many cases involving children's and women's interests would do vastly bet ter if women were among the jury. Nor need jury duty be unpleasant. Men are excused for many reasons physicians, lawyers, clergymen, sol diers, teachers-and various other employed men are excused from jury service, and these same exemptions would apply to women who did not wish to serve. But there is a host of intelligent women whose clean thinking and high principle would be a distinct acrlition to the juries of our courts. Two Brands of Chivalry. Mrs. E. E. Sanders will run as an independent candidate for school di rector in Escambia county, Florida. Seems to be a difference in the value of Florida and of Mississippi women. In two of the Florida cities women have been trusted with the municipal ballot, and are eligible in the entire state for any office on school boards. Mississippi holds a different estimate of its women. When in the legisla ture it was proposed to make women eligible to serve on elocmosynary and educational boards and suggested that they might exert a purifying ir buence on politics, a Mississippi legis lator retorted, "Will a hog purify a wallow?" Quite a difi'erence be tween Florida and Mississippi brands of chivalry; surely it is not a dif ference in the women of these states. States Rights Southern Women. Delegates of southern women will go to St. Louis in June to request the national Democratic party to incor porate in its platform a plank advo cating the ballot for women, by the states rights method. This action would in no way interfere with pres ent qualifications in state constitu tions, and would place southern wo men on an advantageous plane with those of twelvestatgs where women now have the vote.
