Ten Years of
Husband Tells Story of Mrs.
Guthrie's Long Illness
and is Glad She is
Now Releived
Beaufort, X. C.?Mr. Luther Guthrie
writes as follows: "My wife suffered with
horrible headaches for ten years, and I
spent Three Hundred Dollars for doctor
bills for her, but nothing did her any good.
I had read about Cardui for years back,
but never tried it until last October, when
I decided to get it for my wife.
N'ow she has taken two bottle?, and it
! has done her two thousand dollars' worth
j of good.
I She is entirely well, and has not had
i another attack of headache since she
J commenced to take Cardui.
I Just as long as the medicine is made I
I shall have Cardui in my home. I can't
j praise it half enough."
I Cardui has cured sick women after
other medicines have failed. It is made
of ingredients that act specifically on the
womanly constitution. It is not a cure
all. It is a medicine for Women, and only
for women.
For more than :0 years it has been in
widely extended use by women of all ages,
and has given perfect satisfactions as a
i remedy for rebuilding womanly health
and strength.
Try it yourself. It will help you.

ROEBUCK FIRES
! HIS PRESS AGENT
i Paid Him Off and Kicked Him
Out for Flirting With
the Truth.
Just to keep his hand In, so to speak.
G-;orge Roebuck, the eighteen-year-old
playwright, tired his press agent yes?
terday because the press agent didn't
know how to handle the King's Eng?
lish. Guilty on that count, the press
agent would have been convicted
again because he put Into the advunce
j stuff certain facts and fancies which
I one had best forget, "dome day I ??>
I pect to bo fired myself," said Mister
j Roebuck to his hireling, "but I want
I to embrace this golden opportunity to
j hand you a tire badge, so that In after
I life 1 may at least havo one bright
< thing to remember. You are tired;
I now hero la your pay and here is your
hat; Just forget that you ever worked
for me."
j Conductors on the Seven Pines car
' line heard the news and wept for Joy.
! They had seen George walking that
I route years ago when he didn't have
the price of a ride. And having pre?
dicted that he would reach the top of
the ladder, they naturally believed he
was there when he had gone far enough
to kick out one of his employes.
"The guy I tired was no good," said
Mister Roebuck nt rehearsal last night
"He wrote that I was sore because
the hero lady In my play, 'He Thought
He Owned the Town.' was In love with
the leudlng man and not with me. Then
he wrote that I was putting on this
production?get that, bo??so as to lift
the mortgage on my brownstone front
at Norton. I've got no brownstono
I front to m.ortgage. You know, these
fakers frequently go too far. They
deceive the public. There Is no fake
about this,'and I want to take the
public into m> confidence. Also J
want to take the public In to see my
show. I want to finish my education
with the net receipts, and then come
back and run for the State Senate
against Wendenburg. There are lots
of people hero who think they own
the town, but they've got to see my
play and wake up."
