When Life Was a Burden, This]
Woman's Friend Came To
Give Her Prompt Relief
Escondida, Ky.?Mrs. Frank L. Ulake,
'if this place, says: ' "I was so weak from
womanly troubles thai I couldn't do my
work or even walk around.
My back hurt so bad I could hardly be I
up. and I suffered with pains in my left
side most of the time.
Nothing did me any good until I tried !
Cardui, the woman's tonic. \ am cer- J
tainly well pleasecl with what it ha? done
for me. j
I have taken three bottles, and it has j
done me worlds of good. Cardui has
strengthened me and made me feel better I
in every way. I can do my work with
perfect case.
I sincerely believe if other suffering
; women will only give Cardui a trial it will
j help them as it helped me, for I know by
experience that it is the best remedy for j
sick and run-down women. '
There is a reason why Cardui has been
so uniformly successful during the past |
fifty years in relieving all formb of wo?
manly weakoe?b and disease. It acts |
with Nature?not against her. Cardt
goes to the weak spots, and helps to make ]
them strong, thus hastening a cure in
natural, easy way. Try it.

SOLD BY DRUGGISTS tVtRVWH?g
Refuses to Heed Stories That
Postmaster-General Hitch?
cock Is Knifing Him.
SEES POLITICAL TRICK
It May Be Effort to Deprive Him
of Valuable Service in
Campaign.
Washington. January 83.?Twice yester
iluj President Ta-ft denied emphatical?
ly to White House callers that ho
placed any credence In reports that
Postmaster-General Hitchcock had
been politically active to prevent his
rcuomlnatlon. Once at least the Presi?
dent denied that Cabinet oltlcors had
urged hint to oust the Postmastcr
Geueral front his official family bo
eause of alleged antl-Taft activity and
I visitors, who talked With the Presi?
dent gained the impression ihut he
had not the slightest doubt ot Mr.
Hitchcock's loyalty. The President
: was reported to-night to have said
i that if his PostmuBter-Gunorul wrc
prove I disloyal he would he "the most
badly fooled man In tnc country." He
I was willing that his attitude toward
I Mr. Hitchcock be i.iado public.
i Some of the President's advlserq
were Inclined to the view that
a concerted effort wus being niKde
to foree an open breuk between Mr.
Taft and Mr. Hitchcock, tvo that the
lattor'H survlces and Iiis polltlcul ad?
vice might be removed from the Taft
camp.
It became known that many
of the President's close friends hold
the same view that ho holds as to Mr.
Hitchcock's loyalty.
It'a l.'fi to Harne?.
William Kirne-, Jr., chairman ot the
Republican State Committee of New
York, muBt come out for Taft, or ho
will flud the hottest tight against him
that he ever knew In his life.
That 1b the ultimatum the Taft lead
ors In Now York nre going to give Mr.
Bnrnes within a short time. The ulll
mutura la going to be so straght that
Mr. Burnos cannot misunderstand Its
meaning.
Mr. Barnes's attitude, toward an un
instructcd delegation from New York
Its getting on the nerves of the Tatt
i men, and they have duulured they win
, not permll thu Albany bosu to huvo his
way. Their pogram is an simple as
It can be, unless it la changed. They
will notify Mr. Barnes what to expect
when the State convention meeta lf
he attempts to continue Ids indirect
opposition to the President
If he has not come out for Taft by
that time or has not agreed to an U>
j structed dolegation, they will force the
issue In the convention. They will try
I to have the delegation Instructed, and
then they will enrry the light agalnat
1 Mr. Barnes himself, ho far as the chair?
manship Is concerned. They will de?
prive him of the chairmanship, if that
Is possible.
Tuft C-onnaclH Harmony.
President Taft has been consulted
about the situation. He conferred Sat?
urday In New Haven with New York
men, who have told him that Mr.
Barnes Is muddying the situation tn
i New York by holding aloof from In?
structed Taft delcgulcg. It is not
known what view the Pr?sident took
of tho matter. His general attitude is
one of slowness and deliberation in a.
(inestlon at this time. Ho dislikes to
give orders to make a light on u man,
whothor that man Is against him or
not. He prefors harmony.
But it win make no difference what
the President advises, so far as his
close friends In New York are con?
cerned. They are going to insist that
Mr. Barnes go on record, and do so a"s
promptly as ho can conveniently do it.
When the Stale convention meets prac
ticully every delegato from Greater
New York, with a number from up the
State who oro In sympathy with the
movement, will be prepared to put tho
Issue tight up to Mr. Barnes and settle
it by a tight in the convention.
The Taft leaders cannot se-i any
good reason why Mr. Barnes .should
act as bo is acting. They charge here
that ho dislikes Mr. Taft because tho
latter "burned" him on several occas?
ions; ho Im against Roosevelt, whom he
cordially dislikes; lie Is opposed to I.u
Follottc and all that the Wisconsin
man Stands for. Ho is believed to be
trying to force a delegation for Asso?
ciate Justice Hughes, of the Supremr
Court. He dislikes Hughes, too, but
his dislike of lilm is lees than it la
