Cynthia Ashtoti, who since the last Eionth has become a resident of "Wichita, Is one of a few women in the country drawing' p nsions for the war of W2. As fax as is known there are only four Or :.ve widows who are receiving pensions fur the services thear husbanus afforded t'!- government in its struggle with Urcut Britain in that war. Mrs. Asiiton is the widow of .Leonard Athlon, ho was a private in Captain Morton's iistrici. of Columbia Volun- tet IS. The latter died m 1861, the first year of the civil ftdA as a result of lung fever. Mrs. Asht-w haa married him juat twenty years previous, in Decatur, 111.

I have been suffering from female diseases for Four years. At times I have to go to bed. I have had several doctors but none of them did me any good. My menses have not been right for years and they get s-orse every year. My friends advise me to take Wine of Cardui and Thedford's Black Draught. I yill tell you of my troubles and ask you to write me whether or not i should take Wine of Cardui. I have pains all over me. I have no appetite to eat. At times it hurts me to stand on my feet. I have spells in which I nearly smother. My stomach and bowels are in bad shape and it hurts me to lie on my side. I have catarrh in my head so bad, my head nearly kills me some times. What can you do for me ? Mrs. DELIA PEARSON. The futare seemed about hopeless when Mrs. Pearson wrote this letter. Four years had been full of pain for her. Doctors had failed. Just think of the agony of such years of menstrual suffering! This good woman knew she was gradually growing weaker. She could not eat. It was painful at times to lie down. The awful menstrual trouble was sapping away her life. The pain grew sharper and continued longer each month, and each month she grew less able to bear it. What was she to do? A friend answered that for Mrs. Pearson by advising her to take Wine of Cardui. Mrs. Pearson can never fully repay that friend.

I have used five bottles of Wine of Cardui and five packages of Thedford's Black-Draught, and I feel like a new woman. My husband and my friends say I look better than I have in some time. I wrote you in February about your medicine, and I have been taking it ever since. I am doing all my work with ease, and am resting well at night and sleeping like a child. My menses come on regularly now for the first time in three years. I have no mora smothering spells and no more headache, and I am feeling better in every way. When I wrote you last February I was not able to sit up. I began mending as soon as I commenced taking your medicine and have been improving ever since. Your medicines have done me more good than all the doctors medicines. DELIA PEARSON. How can any woman who suffers as Mrs. Pearson suffered read this statement without recognizing that Wine of Cardui will cure her own ills in the same way. Wine of Cardui has brought relief to more than 1,000,000 women during its history of nearly 100 years. It Is not an untried experiment. A million healthy women are examples of the health-giving power of the Wine. It is a simple, harmless vegetable medicine, that always does one thing regulating the menstrua! flow and strengthening the weakened and diseased female organs. That is what you need if you suffer like Mrs. Pearson. If you are in distress as she was, the way to health is open to you go to your druggist and buy a Sl.00 bottle of Wine of Cardui. Don't accept substitutes. These women Were CUred by Wine Of Cardui. por advice and literature, address, eiving symptoms, "The Ladiea' Advlsorr Department," The Chattanooga Medicine Company, Chattanooga, Tenn. to either select a mansion already built or if a suitable one cannot be found, a new mansion will be erected.

The very high standard which this organized troupe has reached Is constantly maintained roy!ory year and at any cost. The introduction of new material and novelty has added the past year to the strength of th com pany, and the personnel was never at so hi?n a standard. This is now considered the loading colored concert company of America and their repertoire consists of Ivth classical music and popular airs. There is a story told in song; there are four eras of American life illustrated in melody, and in all it Is a novel attraction and just such a one as fittingly closes the most suto-ssful season of this popu lar amusement offering bureau. The met ropolitan press everywhere Is unstinted in its praise of this company and coldly critical audiences? have given enthusias tic applause which has amounted to ova tions.

Morehead, of 1407 Division street is in possession of a fine set' of vestments used in Catholic services which she has recently received from a relative in the Philippine islands. The vestments are those which are used by a priest while celebrating mass. They are elaborately embroidered in gold and are a very valuable set. Reverend Father Charles, of the Ger man Catholic church, learned that the vestments were in the possession of Mrs. Morehead and desired to purchase the same from her. She however, refused since she wished to keep them as a sou venir of the Pnilippines. Since then, however, it is said that sho has been importuned by a number of prominent Catholics of this city and has expressed -or intention of delivering them to Very Rev. Father Tihen, as the chancellor of the Wichita diocese. Mrs. Morehead stated that she was not aware how the vestments came into pos session of tho relative who presented them to her and did not know that they were vestments used in the Catholic ser vice, but thought them to be some Chi nese curiosity. Father Tihen stated last night that he Hod learned oi the lact that Mrs. Moor head uad some vestments In her posses sion, but so far he had made no effort to purchase them from her. Ho stated that ho will investigate tho matter, and if possible obtain possession of the sacred articles. t The display in our Millinery room is now at jj I the height of its perfection, and comprises assort- k ments that would do credit to a larger place than & S Wichita.
