Most Positiv? Statement Made By
This KeysviHe Lady Regard?
ing tardui, the Woman's
Tonic.
KeysviHe, Va.?Mrs. Mary B. Towlkes,
I of this place, says: "Before I commenced
I taking Cardui I would have fainting
spells and sick headache, and my back
I ached so! I can't begin to tell all the
I symptoms.
I am glad to say that since using only
I two bottles of Cardui. the woman's tonic,
I am in better health than for many years
before.
I don't suffer any pains now.
I can't begin to say enough for the
j Cardui treatment. 1 shall not go without
I t.'ardui in my house.
I have been recommending the remedy
Ito others, who knew how I used to suffer,
land many of them arc now taking it.
They give Cardui the highest praise."
.Cardui helps nature to perform a cure!
in a natural, easy way. It is made from
mild herbs, having a gentle, tonic effect
j on the womanly constitution.
Cardui improves the appetite, tones up I
the nervous system, and helps to make |
pale, sallow checks fresh and rosy.
For pain, weakness and any of the trou?
bles front which weak women suffer,
Cardui has proven its helping, curative j
power.
Have you tried it: If not, do so to-day. j
It may be just what you need.

Governor Woodrow Wilson dined to?
day at President Aldcrman'a with Sen?
ator Thomas S. Martin and the rector
and board of visitors, who ate here
intending the regular fall meeting.
Later, he met the members of the
student Woodrow Wilson Club, tho
members of the Jefferson Literary So?
ciety, whoso medal for oratory he won
thirty years ago, and other members
of the student body In Cabell Hall,
where he made a very brief address.
D. Hlden Ramsey, president of tho
Wilson C/.ub, Introduced him' as tho
next President of the United States,
but Mr. Wilson declined to recognize
himself by that designation. The Gov?
ernor said thai this is a time of now
party alignment when old party tics
are becoming loose.
"A Republican friend of mine once
asked me to define a Democrat," he
said "l bejjan by describing a Re?
publican as one who holds that those
men best able to judgo of what Is
good for the country are those who
have the lurgcst material stake. A
Democrat absolutely dissents from
this view, holding that tho rank and
file know better what is good for the
country. My personal knowledge of
perfectly honest men In control of
liirp' Interests has convinced mc that
they are not acquainted with America,
and that they can't think except In
terms of their own business. The
standpatter id one who thinks that if
he moves he will get into trouble. He
does not dare to get into tho new
game because he does not know
whether he will be able to play It.
He is under bonds to things as they
are. He plays the close game. In
I he scrimmage he can engage in any
dirty thing the umpire can't see.
Forced Into the open he bungles at
every turn, and every time ho explains
anything he gives away everything."
After tho Governor's experience with
the college politicians he found the
other kind easier.
"The former knows tho English
language, and can make the worse ap?
pear the better cause," he continued.
? Whenever you see a party devoted
as the Republican party Is to special
interests you may know It is an im?
possible enterprise. There Is a com?
mon Interest which cttn be gotten at
by no other conceivable way than by
counsel. The more I observe the more
1 trust the average Jiulgmont of the
people, for they alone sec the whole
country."

Health and Beauty Helps
By MRS. MAE MARTYN
A. A.: I know just how you fcol. but
unless you discard powder and use a
! plain spurmax lotion, you cannot ex
: pect to overcome the oily, ??muddy'1
condition of the skin. Rei four ounces
! spurmax and dissolve in one-half pint
I hot water, then add two teaspoonfuls
glycerine. This makes an Ideal lotion
'and will clear the skin of pimples,
blackheads and other impurities. The
spurmax lotion is Invisible when on
and does not rub or blow off. Using
it gives the complexion a velvety
smoothness and exquisite tint.
Nellie: You can avoid the pain and
expense attending tho use of the elec?
tric needle If you get an original
ounce-package oi delatone, and with a
little of the powder mix enough water
to form a paste. Apply to hairy sur?
face, and in two or three minutes scrape
off, ami the hairs come with It. Then
wash the skin, and you will lind it
sniOOttl and white. You will have to
pay a dollar an ounce for delatine, but
mis Is trilling, as it never fails.
A. B.: The shampoo you mention
contains "free" alkali, and it Is this no
doubt thai causes your hair to grow
coarse and brittle and fall out. A
cleansing and very beneficial shampoo
can be made by dissolving a teaspoon
ful of canthrox In .1 cup of hot water.
This lathers freely and loosens every
particle of dust and dandruff. Rinsing
leaves the scalp immaculately clean,
and the hair dries quickly and evenly,
while It takes on a lustre and softness
truly charming.
Pr?da: Prom what you say, your
condition ia serious, and I would sug?
gest taking a blood-cleanser. You will
llnd that plain kardene, found in any
drug store, is splendid for ridding the
system of impurities and rebuilding
waste tissue. This acts gently and
greatly stimulates every organ !n tho
body. You can make your own tonlfl
by dissolving one-half cupful sugar in
a half-pint alcohol, then adding oho
ounce kardene and hot water to make
,i quart Take a tablcspoonful three
times a day. and you will soon be well
and strong and be able to enjoy ., good
night's rest.
?fessle: I cannot recommend an eye
salve, because this does not reach the
seat of trouble. What yovt require for
nore eyes and granulated lids is an
eye-tonic, and at little coat you can
prepare your own. Get from tiie drug.
ifl>t one ounce crystos and dissolve in
a pint cold water; then put two or
three drops In the oye* every day. This
tohlo is very strengthening to weak,
tired muscles, and its continued us?
overcomes burning and Itching and
glvoa to dull, expressionless eyes a re"
markablo sparkle and brilliancy.
Clara: You certainly have cause til
worry aho.it your hair, and unless thit
brittleness is ovurcomo and the dan?
druff removed from the scalp, you will
have very little hair In.a sues'I whilcv.'
1 am sure you will obtain excellent re?
sults front qulnzoln hair-tonic, the for
inula of which is here given: Mix to?
gether one-half pint each of alcohol
and water and into this pour one ounce
qulnzoln. Use frequently and massage
well Into the s.-.dp. Do this for a time,
and you will n.u be bothered with an
unhealthy scalp or dull, lifeless hair.
The persistent use of this qulnzoln
halr-touic wijl give you a magnificent
l head of glossy hair.
Mrs. G, M.: It Is an easy matter ti\
reduce your weight to where you want
It nhd regain :. our former figure, Ifc
you will use this simple treatment:
Into a pint-und-a-half hot water dis?
solve four ounces parnotls, and when
M cools take one tablespoonful beton;
each meal This gradually takes off
weight without Injury or inoonvenl
ence, and does not leave the skin
wrinkled or flabby.
Mrs. B.: The cold winds are very
trying on any complexion. However,
If you make up and use this greaselesg
. ream jelly your skin will soon become
v,,!t. clear and velvety and wrlnklosj
and other complexion troubles will ba
a thins of the past: Into a half-pint
