CONFESSES
Hopes That Her Statement, Made
Public, Will Save A Great Many
Wrongly Suffering
Women.
Mines, Ala.?"I must confess," says
Miss Eula Mac Bradley, of Mines, Ala.,
"that Cardui, the woman's tonic, has done
iiic a great deal of good."
Before I commenced usiiig Cardui I
would spit up everything I ate. I had a
! tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was
irregular.
I could hardly drag around, and would
I have tcverc headaches continuously.
Since taking Cardui I have entirely quit
; spitting tip what I rat. Everything seems
to f?gest all right, and I have gained 10
pounds in weight.
I still have headaches occasionally, but
nothing like as bad as before. I intend
to continue using Cardui until 1 am en?
tirely well.
You may publish this statement, as
other ladies might profit thereby."
If you are a victim of any of the numer?
ous ills so common to your sex it is wrong
to suffer.
For hall a century Cardui has been re?
lieving just such ills, as is proven by the
thousands of letters, similar to the above,
j which pour into our office year by year.
Catdtii is successful because it is com
poscd of ingredients which act specifically
on the womanly constitution.
Its popularity is due to its merit.
I dive it a trial for yoi/r trouble.

PIGEON SHOOTING
IS DISCOURAGED
King George and Queen Mary
Frown on Cruel
nv i..v MAiiai isn du fontbxo*
KINO QEOROE and Queen Mary
have done much to discourage
the cruel sport of pigeon (hoot*
ing, im unsportsmunilko form of
amusement In which the participants
j run no risk whatever und tiro pat to
no exercise or exertion, and where
I tiio "gamo" has but little chance for
? Its l'te, as tlie bird that escapes '111
inedljtto death on rlr-iiiK from the trap
I ts frequently wounded and falls, crip
I pl? d and helpless, in some neighbor?
ing field or thicket. But Ueorga anJ
I Mary are great pigeon fanciers, in this
j respect following the footsteps of Kd
I ward vii. The pigeon houses at
i Sandrlngham are probably the tmcil
and most olaborate in the country,
j ami almost as much money and earn
Ms devoted to them as though they1
I wore thoroughbred horses.
I it was the enthusiasm of Queen
I Alexandra for pigeon breeding that
led to her very successful crusade
against their wholesale murder and to
vho abandonment of pigeon shooting
as .1 form of sport at llurllngham.
Every vear. in the latter part of June,
the great Pigeon Derby of thoNational
J Flying Club taki . place, over a course
of more than 400 mile's. Only the
Ivory llnest homing pigeons bred In tho
I country compete. King Edward and
Queen Alexandra were much Interest?
ed <n these races. In which thtv en?
tered many birds. mnl often carried
off prizes. This annual grand ha
I lion il rac* is a very interesting event.
I and Invariably start* from Berwick,
I the seaport and chief town of the ShOt
I land Islands, only those plgcona being
allowed to compete whose home is
over tin miles from the starting noiitt.
The race. <s di elded on the Velocity \
system. The proclse distance of cacti
loft from the starting uplnt is cut
culated, and. then tho time is taken
from the moment that tho bird 's
liberated from Lerwlck until it reaches 1
lt?, horn". A simple calculation gives;
tho numbe- of yards per minute whtcn I
the bird lias flown, and the pH*? gOOB I
to the birds that have displayed the,
greatest rate of spi ed. Queen Atexan-|
dra had a magnificent bird, which was!
a record-breaker, it new .ill miles]
at the rate of K!07 yards per minute.
Of course, in calling this a record
breaker I am referring only to that
j particular course, for this speed has j
I been far surpassed both in Europe and <
the United States, tlie American rec?
ord, aa every homing pigeon fancierI
i not the last performances before me?
I.SIS yards a minute for old b'rus.
! over a course of I'.oo mllcx. Hut the
comparison is hardly fair, an hi con
testa of this kind everything ilepends
upon the state of the atmosphere, Hie
birds making marvelous time in clear
weather, while on thick and stomiY
days they may (ly not raped fastet
than a horse can trot. To the United
states belongs the credit of Introduc'ng
an artificial bird of clay?"blue pier
eons" they are called?for the live
pigeons, and the ingenuity of the me?
chanism for throwing up this Inani?
mate quarry in unexpected and vary?
ing directions., gives as satisfactory ft
test of the skill of the marksman as
the cruel use of live birds.
The Kalsor and his consort sein
