tho Y. \V. C. A. was no moro a charit
ablo affair than tho work done by the
big universities throughout tho land
and gavo as examples the faels that
at Yale $130 a year more than tultlos
Is spent on each student. At Chicago
University 5150 above the tuition fe?
Is spent on each student entered ir
the Institution. Another splnndlC
work that the association Is forward?
ing is a nurses' club in Now York,
where they ?ran meet In a social way
and receive their friends. Chicago and
Philadelphia are both asking for
branches of this work, and the lectur?
er hoped that something of the same
order might be started tn Richmond.
The main force of Mrs. Cladding's
argument was based on a quotation
from Goethe. "Let not that man think
that ho shall obtain anything us a
solitary man." The reason the asso?
ciation exists is to get women togeth?
er on the things that they do believe
in and need together.

Nerve Strain
? Doctors tell us that a vast per?
centage of the breakdowns and
troubles to-day are from over?
worked, undernourished nerves.
We Americans strain every nerve
in our body trying to make a suc?
cess in life, and do not nourish and
feed our nervous system so as to
make it equal to the strain; the
result is we are broken down old
men and women before we are
forty years of age. The nerve tis?
sues must be fed and strengthened,
the stomach must be assisted in
doing the work of digesting the
food, the blood must be enriched
I and circulation quickened, the body
jand brain must be invigorated, so
I that we can withstand the strain
jand retain health, strength and
! youth;
I Duffy's P ure Malt Whiskey, the
i world's most reliable tonic-stimu
'lant and strength-builder, is an
I ideal remedial agent for nervous
I people or any one under a nervous
strain. It quiets the nerves and
starts the gastric juices, so that
the food can be digested. It is ai
food in itself that gives strength
and fills the blood,with bright red
corpuscles.
Doctors and other scientists all |
over America know that Duffy's j
Pure Malt Whiskey docs wonders
in aiding the digestion and assimi?
lation of the food and in bringing
vigor to the body.
It is sold in SEALED BOTTLES
ONLY by all druggists, grocers and
dealers, or direct, SI.00 a large
bottle. Look for the "Old Chem?
ist" on the label and make sure the

A VERY
STUBBORN CASE
Mrs. Phillips Describes Her Experi?
ence. Unable to Sit Up
When Deliverance
Arrived.
Indian Valley; Va,?"My condition
was such," writes Mrs. R. L. Phillips, of
thi^ place, "that I was under the treat?
ment of two doctors. They pronounced
my case a very stubborn one, of womanly
weakness?. I was not able to sit up when
I commenced to take Cardui. I used it
about one week, before I discovered much
change in my condition.
The severe pain that had been in my
side for years has gone, and I don't suffer
at. all. Xow I am feeling better than I
have for years, and, therefore, I cannot
speak too highly of the Cardui treat?
ment."
You may be sure if Cardui will relieve
and cure such stubborn cases as Mrs.
Phillips'?and it is doing so every day?
that, it will much more quickly and cer?
tainly help those women who have no
serious symptoms, but arc just weak and
ailing.
Cardui is a medicine of real merit, as a
general tonic for women, to improve the
appetite and to build up the constitution.
You can always depend on Cardui, for
every bottle contains the ingredients
necessary to help you. Fifty years of
I success attest its merit.
! Cardui is the ideal woman's tonic. Try
! it. For sale at your druggist's.

Interest in Polle? Flection.
With tiio exception of the grand
Jury bank investigation, no subject has
caused so much interest and discussion
in the community recently as that of
the election of a police commissioner
to fill a vacancy on the board. It is

of caucusing in the interest of this
or that person, whom it is desired t<i i
get on the board, and the matter hits
assumed a political tlngo. Tho object
of tho creation of the Board of Polico
