GREAT HELP TO
A SICK WOMAN
This Lady Says, ‘‘I Cannot
Find Words to Express How
Thankful I Am to Cardui”
Jonesvllle, Va.—"I certainly appre
ciate what Cardui, the woman’s tonic,
has done for me," writes Mrs. Owen F.
Wells, of this town. "Before I began
to take Cardui, 1 could hardly go
about. I had several womanly troubles,
which caused me much suffering, and
were very troublesome. But now I
feel like a different person.
I had often read of Cardui. but had
little faith in it. My husband urged
ire to try it, and now I cannot find
words to express how thankful I am.
Cardui is a wonderful medicine and 1
feel that it was a greater help than
anything I could have taken.
1 had scarcely no pain or suffering
' 8* childbirth, and I feel 1 owe it all to
Cardui. I know that no woman would
make a mistake in using Cardui at
that most critical time. Jt will sava
them so much suffering.
It is my sincere desire that this
Ik statement may be seen and read by
K all sufferers who suffer as I did. I am
telling all my friends and acquaint
I \ ances of the great cure I have re
; j ceived "
V If you suffer from any of the ail
ments so common to women, give
jjpr. '"Cardui a trial. Thousands of womer
have voluntarily written, to tell of thf
great benefit that Cardui has been tl
them. Why shouldn't it help you, too*.

All Getting Happier
“Every mail brings me letters from
those with whom you have put me into
touch. I keep them supplied with liter
ature. and one and all are responding and
! getting happier. Some of these cases arc
pitiful in the extreme, and to human sense
seem to be almost beyond help, but ‘man's
| extremity is God's opportunity,’ and I
have found this to be true. One dear lit
I tie girl is really getting well. You had
her mother write to me. She is 14 and
has never walked a step, and her head has
not grown for the last few years. After
three months' reading and of getting my
‘preachings’ about twice a week she has
resumed her studies and is moving around
a great deal—not walking, but lifting her
self from chair to couch. Isn't Good good:
G. D.”
I We lead off today with a heartening let
ter from our steady and faithful coadju
! tor, G. D. 8he raises the curtain upon a
i scene which should thrill the heart of
| each fellow worker with gratitude. The
| whole report reads like the echo of “Hith
j erto hath the Lord helped us!”
Books on Electricity
1 “I am a young man of IS, who is much
interested in electricity. I have the de
sire but not the funds to go to school to
study it. I am hoping that friends of the
Corner may have and will give me some
books upon electricity. I am sure they
will be greatly appreciated.
“H. P. P.”
One of the branches of the labor the
Helping Hand Corner delights in is en
j couragement of progress in education on
I the part of those who work upward
| against odds of poverty or physical dis
ability. This young man would qualify
himself for a profession that which none
promises better in this age. Electricians
w'ho no longer need text books are re
quested to take his ambition and his need
| into consideration. “We help those who
are trying to help themselves.”
Instruction on the Organ
“I venture to ask if any of your read
ers has an organ instructor for which they
have no further use. I much desire one,
but cannot buy it at present. I will pay
postage and return the favor in any way
that I can. My neighbor's boys, ages 11
and 8, are badly in need of shoes. If any
one can can send them some they will be
thankfully received. RACHEL B.’’
Another music lover pleads for the
means of cultivating that God given tal
ent. It is little that she craves—just the
chance to nurse the gift into comely
growth. The interjected plea for homely
helps for the neighbor's boys proves the
underlying principle of brotherly love as
serting itself, while she is urging her own
desire and need. And—somehow—the two
fit into one another harmoniously.
Floor Cold for the Baby
“We are poor, as my husband is par
tially blind. We have six children, four
in school. The Lord is good to us and
we do not want, and have never asked foi
a thing. My husband is a canvassing
agent. We love to see the children a?
comfortable as possible. Last winter our
baby got cold on the floor, it being drafty
and without a carpet. If any one has a
carpet she does not need and which has
more service left in it, it would be a gift
from the Lord to us. AIRS. P. S.”
We are impressed, in reading this
straightforward tale of domestic life, witli
the brave simplicity of the wife and
mother. Poverty, blindness, discomfort dc
not shake her belief in the Father's good
ness and love. 'She has no plaint for her
self. But the baby takes cold upon thf
bare, drafty floor! Are there strips ni
old carpeting which may be spared from
more comfortable homes to avert this
evil? Who will be the Father's almoner
here? I hold the address.
Needs Brace for Hip
*T have been an invalid for 15 years. I
have consumption of the spine and need a
brace for my hip. I am .'JO inches around
the waist. T cannot afford to buy one.
My mother is a widow and I cannot w'ork.
So r am writing to you. Perhaps you
have one the owner has no more use for.
If so. may I have It?
“WILLIAM H.”
We have had several braces offered to
us within a few months, all of which have
gone to grateful recipients. What the
Corner has done the Corner may do again.
The invalid who has borne the yoke of
pain and helplessness fo^ 15 years, the
son of a widow, has surely a certified
claim upon us. Send for the address with
out delay, after making a memorandum
of measurements.
Bark Numbers of Magazines
“I wish very much to get copies of a
certain magazine for the months of June,
July and August. 1913. I will pay all ex
penses connected with the transfer of
these from their present owner to me.
Can you get them for me? A. E. R.“
Should the magazines be offered to us
at'hnv time, we shall keep you in mind.
By the rules governing the Corner we are
forbidden to offer or to ask for period
icals by name. Rut for this we would
gladlv print the title of those you wrant.
We are sorry, but, as Mr. Bagnet says.
“Discipline must be maintained.” The
best we can do is to refer your request
to readers who may have kept magazines
of the dates specified, and who will write
to us for ycur address.
For Moles in the Garden
“I would say that if the person w’ho

Mrs. Oscar R. Hundley Leaves Today On a Cross State B
Trip in a ‘Hudson Six ’ In Interest of Woman Suffrage I
By DOLLY OALRYHPLE
More and more women are dropping intc
the great field of suffrage work all ovei
the country, taking whatever equipment!
they have and diverting them into om
co.mmon channel.
There was a time when only a very fev
women actually worked for suffrage, al
though many more would have probabli
liked to do so had they known in wha
capacity they could be of use,
“What can we do?” was wailed. "Wi
can't make speeches,” and so they sa
back and watched “the other fellow’’
do It.
Then they began to realize that speech
making was by no means the only worl
that suffrage entailed, and w’ith the real!
zation more and more women came to con
tribute their mite to the cause and it be
came a matter of astonishment how man:
kinds of work could be utilized.
Women in all professions began to conn
forward—women writers, and stenogra
phers, women lawyers and teachers, ar
tists and sculptors, actresses and play
wrights, society women and women o
leisure and wealth—all offering strong ar
guments for suffrage In their various
kinds of work, and if one had no particu
lar talent or profession she could at leas
assist in the general work of spreading
suffrage, but she has devised new anc
“newsle,” and sell suffrage literature, al
the requirements necessary to help the
cause.
Prominent in the cause of suffrage Ir
Birmingham is Mrs. Oscar R. Hundley
who with her ingenious cleverness anc
ever ready originality, has not only fol
lowed the path hewn out bj’ the pioneers
of w’hich she is one. in the cause of equa
suqrage, but she has devised new anc
attractive methods of reaching the people
throughout the state, especially those ii
the rural districts, and the latest innova
tion for which she is responsible is th*
“cross siate trip,” which she will make
leaving here this morning and carrying
the "votes for women” doctrine to her fel
low' citizens throughout the state.
Mrs. Hundley’s attractive personality
her beauty and her wit, her genuine anc
fervent interest id the cause which she is
espousing, all make her a dominant figure
in the work of suffrage in the great com
monwealth of Alabama, which has beer
centered upon by the National Suffrage
association as the vantage point for ac
tivities during the present year.
On the attractive trip which Mrs. Hund
ley has planned, which will carry her intc
a number of towns in the state, she has
invited Mrs. A. ,T. Bowron to accoinpan:
her. Mrs. Bowron has always been ar
active worker in suffrage ranks and hei
keen intellect and unusual ability have
won for her an enviable place among the
prominent suffragists of the state, whicl
is an honor amor\g women, since the
brainiest, the biggest and the most in
tellectual have enlisted in the cause.
Mrs. Hundley and Mrs. Bowron are botl
good speakers—they understand the suf
frage question from beginning to end
and their fellow workers in Birminghan
are expecting great results from thei:
“cross-state trip,” which will not only b<
a big triumph for suffrage, but a mos
pleasant opportunity to enjoy Alabamt
from an automobile standpoint, skimming
the roads in rapid fashion, stopping her<
and there, dashing on and then again f
visit, combining work and pleasure a
various places.
In chatting with Mrs. Hundley abou
her “cross-country trip” yesterday,
asked her among other things howr sh<
happened to plan this trip. 1 laughingl:
suggested that the possession of a bran*
new car probably had something to <b
with it, or—well, I let her answer th<
question without further suggestion, an<
she said:
“I have been wanting for sometime ti
A glimpse of Mrs. Oscar R. Hundley and Mrs. A. J. Bowron as they
are stepping into a “Hudson six" in front of Mrs. Hundley's handsome
home, preparatory to leaving for a “cross state 4rip" in the interest of
suffrage—Protograph by Baird.
make a ‘cross-state trip,’ speaking in the
interest of the campaign being waged for
woman suffrage in this state, and so Mrs.
Bowron and I are just leaving on what
wre think will prove not onjy a delightful
trip personally, but one which may be
fruitful in result to the .work in which we
are- both so deeply interested."
"Have you investigated the condition of
the roads?" T asked. "This is an occasion
when a word from you on the ‘good roads’
proposition might come in aproposly."
"I understand that, in the part of the
state where we expect to travel they are
quite good, and knowing the comfort of
ja Hudson ear, the smoothness, flexibility
and lack of vibration with which it runs,
T expect the trip to be one of constant
joy. Of course there will be rough places,
but the car has power; there will be hills,
too. but from the car's hill-climbing con
tests there should be no fear. You see
I am just one of thousands who are
driving a Hudson car who can be con
sidered a Hudson enthusiast." said Mrs.
Hundley. -‘The route we have planned
will take us through Helena, Calera, .lem
ison, Clanton. Verbena. Mountain Creek,
Auburn, Opelika, Camp Hill. Dadeville.
Alexander City, Goodwater. Sylacauga,
Childersburg, Wilsonville, Columbiana, Ca
lera and on hack to Birmingham. In
many of these places, of course, when we
endeavor to prove the need of tin*, Ala
bama woman’s vote in the affairs of the
state we shall And just the same opposi
tion that among certain people is to be
expected always. But we shall stop, any
way, and speak, and in some of the places
we expect to organize an Equal Suffrage
association! and also distribute the latest
and most beneficial literature.
"How do the people in the rural dis
tricts and small communities look upon
woman suffrage?" I asked.
"They are very much interested." Mrs.
Hundley replied. "The country people as
a rule are a deeply religious people, and
when they are convinced that our effort
’ to win the ballot for women is not di
rected toward obtaining political power
for the love of power alone, but because
of the urgent necessity that tin* good
: women of the state be constitutionally en
abled to assist the good men oi the state
s in bettering conditions, it is not difficult
• for them to accept the suffrage view
! point. Then, too. you must remember
• that in every community theer are some
• | progressive people, who are intuitively in
1 I favor of woman suffrage, but who cannot
1 define the something within them tw’hich
»I impels their utter conviction of the jus
tiue of the cause, and the necessity of that
justice being made effective. In the
states where woman suffrage has been
won it has been the rural districts largely
which have brought victory about. It
was so in California, and in nearly all,
if not all, of the others. In the distribu
tion of literature the inviting of questions
and the explanation of the suffrage map
to those who are in doubt, I believe great
benefits will be the result, and many con

as your own chauffeur on your ‘cross
state’ trip?” I asked.
Mrs. Hundley, who is quite an expert at

warm water. The result after a few’
I days is astonishing. You wonder why
this secret wasn’t discovered long ago.
Lot the wrinkled folks also take hope.
I Put an ounce of powdered saxolite into
:i half pint witch hazel, bathe the face in
the solution and—say!—there's nothing
that will so effectually, so promptly,
smooth out all those hateful lines.

Colorado must (
