Is Now Well 1 CartersviUe, Oa.—The following Is from Mrs. M ill T. Lawhon, of Carters vllle: "I am writing this because I want other women to know what Cardul has done for me. Before I commenced taking Cardul, , I had backache so bad, I would have to stay in bed for days at a time. I suffered untold misery with my head and back. I saw Cardul advertised and decided to try It. 1 took three bottles. After taking the first bottle, I could see a ! vast difference in my feelings, and de cided ,to take the second, and took three In all. After taking the third bottle I felt like a new worrtan altogether, and I will always praise Cardul, as a boon to woman's ills I believe It saved my life and I am now a well, healthy woman, and my husband joins me in my praise for Cardul Before I began taking Cardul, I was irregular, but since I began taking it. 1 I have been regular and without any pain. Everyone tells me I am the picture of health since taking Cardul. I will ■ reommend It to every suffering woman.” If you suffer from any of the ail ments so common to women, or If you feel the need of a good strengthening tonic, why not give Cardul, the wom an's tonic, a trial? Begin today. Your druggist sells Cardul. DAILY FASHION HINT ^ A summer frock made of “khaki iool” silk weave.

TALKING AS A TEST By MARGUERITE GASTON Have you ever thought how many things a.re told when we are talking? 1 am not thinking of gossipy tea parties partic ularly, nor ye* of those mure cherished hours in which we give each other our confidences by the fireside. Perhaps it Is just what is known as general conversa tion. casual, talk that 1 have in mind. Most of us do treat, general conversa tion very casually, both in regard to the way we listen to and share in it. Profound thinkers have told 11s that we are afraid of silence; that only be tween two perfectly attuned spirits can silence be beautiful, or ever possible. At any rate, most of us talk a great deal. And we labor under the delusion that so long as the awkward silence is avoided it doesn’t much matter w’hat we say. No one remembers. Why, we don't re member ourselves what it was that rather pleasant woman talked about the other day on what would otherwise have been a tedious railway journey, nor yet what it was Aunt Susan enlarged upon last time she paid her formal call. Yet this is a very superficial way of looking at it. Every time we speak we re veal our thoughts, but what if our own individual manner of thus playing hide and-seek betrays us? Directly we look at'the face of a strang er wre received an impression, consciously or unconsciously, of his or her general de meanor of the vivacity of the look, the mobility of the features. Then, when we wish to find a more solid basis for our hastily formed opinion we are no longer content with the external view and desire to get into conversation. To make a person talk is the best way that has yet been found of ascertaining what is in his mind. In conversation the sound of our interlocutor's voice, the flex ibility of its intonation, the fineness of its shades are all elements that tend to confirm or weaken the opinion we have formed. We are much influenced, also, by the de gree of attention he gives us, for we are all moderately certain that our remarks are w’orth listening to—if not remember ing; his quickness to grasp our meaning pleases, even flatters, us; his replies, which partially anticipate what we were going to say, prove delightful; by such various details in the course of conversa tion we do something more than estimate the intelligence of the speaker; we de cide whether we are going to like him or not. (The reverse process may be easily imagined.) After all, it does matter what we say, doesn't it? Or at least it matters how wo say it. And again, in regard to that little mat ter, profess of the attention we give other speakers. We are often reminded that good listeners are rare. They are alsc wise. How can wre know anything about human nature, profess to he any sort of judge of character, if instead of listening to w’hat is being said to us w’e are plan ning our own next remark or impressive speech, or are pondering how’ best we can bring the conversation round to somf event or connection the revelation of which w’e foolishly imagine may cause us to rise in our companion’s estimation? If our fellow talker be anything of a judge, if he ever knows the world he lives in, how sadly have we let ourselves down in his eyes! But of course these people who are guilty of the more serious of fenses are usually' quite unconscious ol them, and are not sufficiently sensitive to notice the degree less of warmth in the other person’s tone when the reply comes. They never knew that their talk has be trayed them, that out of their own mouths are they condemned. A Lame Answer From Tit-Bits. The stupid person sometimes says t witty thing without knowing it. A pro fessor in a medical college had one ex asperating student. "You see. Mr. Smith," said the profes sor to this young man one day, “the sub ject of this diagram limps, because one o his legs is a trifle shorter than the other Now’, what should you do in such a case?' "I should limp, too. I think sir." re plied the student, with an expression o perfect innocence on his face.
