NATURAL HEALTH
The Facts About an Interest
ing Case Of Serious Female
Trouble Benefited By the
Use of Cardui
Walnut Cove. N. C.—Mrs. E. A.
ftothrock, of this town, says: "About
two years ago I was In very bad health
for three or four months.
At this time I bad a serious female
trouble, which lasted severely for nine
weeks. I got awfully weak and could
scarcely go, and my doctor said I ought
to be In bed
My two sisters, who had used Cardui
with good results and who now use it
as a tonic, recommended it highly to
me, saying it is a fine medicine.
T felt if I lived I must have some
thing to help me, and as other medi
cines had failed to relieve me, I thought
I would try Cardui, the woman’s tonic.
At this time I was almost skin and
bones.
I seemed to improve after the use
of the second bottle of Cardui. The
trouble stopped, I suffered less pain,
and began to get back my strength
and health. I took five more bottler
and got back my natural state ol
health, also my flesh, and could do my
work easily.
This spring I was run down in health;
had over-worked myself. I took nearly
three bottles of Cardui, as a tonic, and
It brought me back to my natural state
of health.
Last week 1 put up 78 jars of fruit
which I could not have done before
taking Cardui. I am glad 1 heard ol
0 it, and I hope other women will too."
Your case may not be as had as the
above, but even if only a mild case, we
suggest that you begin today to try
‘ Cardui. the woman’s tonic.

HUNTSVILLE
Huntsville, March 12.—(Special.)
The Civic league at its meeting yes
terday afternoon went on record a3
favoring the extension of the city lim
its of Huntsville, a bill for which will
be offered at the next session of the
Alabama legislature. The league rec
ognizes the fact that the census re
ports on the city of Huntsville are one
of the greatest drawbacks, inasmuch as
the census count includes only the
people who live within half a mile of
the county courthouse. Huntsville prop
er, it is believed, would have a pop
ulation of over 18,000 should the cor
porate limits be extended as provided
by the new bill.
The Y. M. C. A. campaign to lift the
debt on the building has resulted in
pledges amounting to $17,865. The
Woman’s Auxiliary has contributed
$1500. It is believed that the campaign
will be successful and that the full
$21,000 will be secured.
Mrs. Margaret Collier of Berkly died
yesterday after a long illness. She was
68 3’ears old.
J. W. Crutcher, one of the best
known farmers of Madison county, died
Wednesday at his home at Monrovia,
aged 50 3rear3. ITis widow and two
children survive him.
Miss Vivian Jones, daughter of Mr
and Mrs. John F. Jones of this city, and
Mr. Bradley Morrah of Chattanooga
were married Thursday afternoon at 4
o’clock in the First Baptist church,
Rev. J. j. Johnson officiating. The
wedding was a beautiful affair and !
the church was filled with spectators. I
Miss Annice Jones, a sister of the bride. !

HELPING HAND HINTS
BJ MARION HARLAN D
Aids Needy Family
"I am going to trouble you to send me
the address of those people In distress
through losing their home by fire. I
am inclosing the appeal, as there are no
initials to go by. If the friend who writes
about them could pay half the charges
I have a few things they can have—iron
bed, springs, mattress, small rug, kitch
en table, and a bedroom dresser, all in
good condition. If you will kindly let me
knew the address I will be glad to send
them, for I should like to become a Cor
nerite. MRS. I. M.”
The address went to you at once by
mail. I cannot withhold this public ac
knowledgment of your bounty. The Cor
ner has a right to know of it and to
unite with me in thanking you. for time
ly and generous aid to the houseribld
made destitute by fire. It warms the
heart to go over the list. You have made
yourself a Cornerite by this letter. We
give you the “right hand of fellowship”
with a blessing.
Heady to Help
“Would you mind keeping my address
and sending me names of people to whom
we might write when there is an oppor
tunity for doing a little good?
“MRS. E. E. S.”
“Would we mind” might read like
satire if we did not comprehend the spirit
and motive of her who puts the ques
tion. Do we “mind” eating our daily
bread and breathing the pure air of heav
en “In which we live and move ant^ have
our being?” The attention of lonely shut
ins is cordially directed to the brief note
so instinct with the Corner spirit that it
exnale3 good will and love. Write for the
address oL your would-be correspondent
on the dark and cloudy day when you
most feel the need of cheer.
Received Delightful Replies
4 A short time ago I offered several
articles to the H.' H. C., and you kindly
Beni me addresses to which 1 might write.
I havo received delightful replies from
W. C., G. T. O. and Lena H. I did
not hear from Katie S., the afflicted girl
who was in the infirmary. I was sorry,
but then she may not be able to write
herself and has no one to answer for
her. Neither did I hear from Mrs. E. L.
it may be she has been supplied with
shorthand books. I therefore still have
sn hand the following: One text shorthand
book, with typewritten instruction notes;
two or three ‘Five Little Pepper’ books,
and some easy piano music; also a few
more picture post cards.
“CLARA S.“
Whose welcome signature will be gladly
recognized by “constant readers.” We
must clear Katie S. from any suspicion
iis to probable disregard of your kind
less. She was at home “on furlough” at
:he date of your writing. The additional
Sifts are registered gratefully. We hold
your address in readiness for calls.
Wants a Dress Form
“I am wondering if fortune' will smile
upon me enough to bestow the size itb
’olUiisIble dress form up r me. That is
my size, and I do my own sewing. I trust
A. M. J. has not given it away. Some
how your dear Corner never seems like a
iirlnted paper, hut the voice of a friend,
ind oh, how much good it does and the
ley it brings to many. It has been my
pleasure to give a few warm oiothes to
12nif of your needy correspondents. I
mi uld like the address of the girl who
lives with her firand parents and who gets
to lonely. I can’t give much, but might
be able to send an interesting letter. It
w.is ray joy to live with my dear grand
parents until they were called away.
While timo is a great healer and doing its
work, the ache and blessings will ever
remain. My only consolation is that my
lets Is their gain. I also would like
the name of the elderly woman who lives
In a tent. MARY A. V.”
The specified addresses have gone to you
by mail I wish I could have secured
the dresi form or another like it for you.
It was given away before we liad your de
lightful letter. Wo must try to secure
one, if only to prove how grateful we are
tor your continued co-operation in our
mission and the unaffected interest you
take in it.
WELL PLEASED WITH
AUBURN CREAMERY
Auburn, Marcli 12.—(Special.)—Noel Neg
ley of Auburn, and the United States de
partment of agriculture, in an interview,
axpresses himself as well pleased with
the work of the recently established Au
burn creamery.
Mr. Negley says: “Everywhere we hear
diversification preached, but the farmers
ire learning, if they did not already know,
tiiat talking diversification Is one thing
md practicing it is quite another. Auburn
is not only preaching diversification. She
is helping the farmers to practice it. The
best way for the Lee county farmers to
market the corn, oats, cowpeas, etc.,
which they are going to raise on the
farm in place of cotton, is through the
dairy cow; thereby keeping the fertility
on the land and selling only the cream
to the local creamery at Auburn.
“The primary object of the creamery
movement was to provide a market for
the cream from the farms in Lee county,
but the record shows that only a very
small amount of the money paid for
cream went to the farmers of Lee county.
The farmers in this county need diversi
fied farming, and its cash returns at
least as much as any other county in
the state, yet they seem very backward
in taking advantage of the opportunity
that lies at their very doors. Because
of the fact that express rates on cream
are very low and the empty cans are
returned free, i* great amount of cream
is being received from points over loo
miles away.
“Because of the large amount of cream
being received, and the interest shown
by the farmers of the state, the Auburn
creamery is installing machinery that will
enable it to produce a high class product
second to none.”
Call Out Recruits
Paris, March 12.—12:50 p. m.)—The
Chamber of Deputies today passed a
bill calling out the 1016 class of re
cruits. These recruits will not be sent
to the front, however, until after the
men of the older classes are utilized.

And Now "Mr. Fashion” Gives "Miss Fashion” Tit For
Tat, and the Sartorial World Sits Up and Takes Notice
"Gee,” giggled Alius Fashion, as she
dashed down the street, arrayed in her
prettiest togs, on her way to sip a choc
olate soda, "did you get that?”
"What?” chorused the others in the
"bunch."
"That.” she emphasized Jerking’ her
head in the direction of a perfectly harm
less looking youth, who was passing.
"He’s a riot and thinks he’s the classiest
thing on the parade. Do you get the
effect of the ashes of roses tie, on the
plaited blue shirt, and the whit spats
with the polka dotted hose? Whenever
I see anything like that, I always feel
like quoting the little verse:
" ‘A Palm Beach suit and saucer hat.
White socks and a cigarette;
A bamboo cane and some oxfords flat.
Oh, whenever I gaze on a man like that,
I vote for the suffragette.’ "
"Well, and why shouldn't there be a
Mr. Fashion, I’d like to kno^.” de
manded a more conservative member of
the group. “Why shouldn’t men wear
all tlie fool things that are gotten up
for them In the way of hats, vests, socks
and boots, as well as women? Bright
colored ties and dashy hats are about
the only things they can wear to offset
the dull dark shades that are inflicted
upon them in the suit line. The average
man looks about as theerful to me in his
sartorial getup as a tombstone, and as
brilliant as a London fog In November.
A man's clothes ought to do the same
thing for him that a woman’s do for
her. He can’t plan them to De sure, so
that he can bring out his best points and
hide his defects. An unattractive girl,
however, can dress so that you won’t
notice how homely she is, but what can
a poor man do? Nothing at all. A man
who gets himself up attractively—in fact,
that dashing swain we Just passed de
serves a Carnegie hero meual. He’s
homely—but he gets away with It, be
cause people get exited over his tie and
his hat, and they don't look at his face.”

«••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*••••••••••••••••••••«
"Oh, yes, of course," Miss Fashion
hedged, “men should have styles every
season, just like women, I suppose, but
there will always be Euch a difference
In the eargerness with which men take
to styles in comparison to the way wom
en feel about such things. Now, for
Instance, I observed, in some 'Fashion
Notes for Men,’ that an effort is to be
made to induce men to wear little feath
ers In their hats—'a bit of color to re
lieve the drab’—Is the way the writer ex
pressed it, I believe. Now, did you hap
pen to get that word ‘induce.' No wom
m has to be ’Induced’ to wear a foolish
flttle feather in her bonnet, or any other
comical, horrid thing that fashion hap
pens to decree, but a man, why he
wouldn’t any more bo dictated to about
his clothes than he’d be dictated to by
about what he eats for breakfast"
"I think that shows their sense," said )
the conservative lady. “Just imagine one ;
of our best looking, tall, well-groomed
men, stalking downtown with his new
spring suit on wearing a hat with a
feather in it plucked from the tail of a
canary bird, or with his evening clothes
wearing an ostrich tip or a waving feather \
from some strutting peacock’s plumage.
They may wear dinky little bows In their
daring green velouf chapeaux in the win
ter, but we forgive them; but I don’t
believe, as much of an advocate as I am
of men being up-to-date and stunning
in their sartorial effects, that I could
stand for the feathers.”
“But I thought you-" began Miss
Fashion.
‘‘Yes, I know that seems a trifle incon
sistent, but I don’t Intend it that way,”
interrupted the other. "Nice men don’t
wear all those fool things of course. What
I r.iei nt was that they should make the
best of their features and height and
wear stylish things, but not outre af
fairs. Most men care too little about
their personal appearance. The only
thing that matters to them Is that their
clothes are clean. I’ve got three broth
ers and I know.” k
“Most men rather dislike being 'all
dressed up and no place to go’ like sin,” \
said Miss Fashion, “but I don’t believe
it. Why. I knew a man once whom they
said took hours to ‘do’ his face and his
iut?ls and his hair. Women are consid
ered the original little ‘primpers,’ but be
lieve me, some men have got them beat
a block. I bet you a dollar there’ll be a
lot of them who will wear corsets. They
say that the newest models in coats for
men this season demand the ‘wasp waist,’ y
and how’s he to get it, Ills tailors ask,
unless he wears corsets so he can ‘draw
himself in?’ With that kind of waist I
and the tight, queer, little trousrs, and
oh! so short—won’t the men be frights?”
‘‘I believe you are jealous,” said the
eiK-servative lady. ‘‘You are afraid If the
styles fer Mr. Fashion become so pro
nounced as to attract attention, some of it ^
will be taken away from you, and—well. J
