COOK 1 Entirely Recovered From Illness, And Now Growing Stronger o Each Day. * Cave Springs, Ga.--'" sleep better than ever," writes Mrs. Kate Cook from this place, "and get stronger n every day. Before I tried Cardui, the woman's tonic, I was very sick, and the doctor's medicine did me no good. I can never speak too highly of your medicine." Sleeplessness and nervousness, from which many women suffer, often r make living unendurable. If you are ailing, no need to stay so. Most of the ailments peculiar to women are preventable, curable. Others have obtained relief by tak ing Cardui. Why not you? Cardul is a popular medicine with women. It is popular because it has been found to banish nervousness, re lieve pain, bring roses back to pale cheeks, and strength to weak bodies. Cardul acts specifically on the cause of most female ills, and thus it is a medicine especially useful in women's ailments, in the treatment of which it has a record of over 50 years of suc cess. At least it can do you no harm, to give Cardul a fair trial. It may be the very medicine you need. Get a bottle today. N. B.--4'rits to: Ladles' Advisory Dept., Chattanooga Medicine Co..

In an Illinois town a workingman having been informed that a sixth t baby had arrived at his home, ex- I claimed: "Sufficient," and his neigh- . bors, referring to his having given I that name--Sufficient-to the new E arrival, credited him with originality. E The incident resembles a case nearer c home, adds the New York Tribune. I A New York family was blessed with t nine daughters, when the stork t brought a tenth one. It was in the t days when the slang term for an oft told story was a "chestnut," and as the baby certainly came under that head, she received the name, but for v suphony's sake the French for the word was employed, and she was h called Marron.

Chicago, 1ll.-Corn 19 feet and one inch tall, grown in Louisiana, a size never achieved in any other locality, was displayed at the United States Land and Irrigation Exposition at the Coliseum. The men who are boosting central a 1 northern Louisiana sup plied the display. The giant stalk of corn stands right out where every body can see it, and it attracted more of the vast throngs of land show% visitors than any other state exhibit. Once attracted by the corn, the peo ple are held by the eloquence of the representatives of the Alexandria Progressive League, who are here to boost the interests of the commercial clubs of Alexandria and. Monroe, which jointly have undertaken to show what Louisiana can do for crops. "This corn was planted June 10. 1910, after a crop of Irish potatoes had been raised on the same land, and the same tract is now yielding a crop of winter oats," said one of the gentlemen representing Louisiana, in telling about the corn. "\V'e raise from two to four crops on all our land." December 3 will be Louisiana day, and Governor J. Y. Sanders will be the guest of honor of the Land Shvw. A special program will be arranged to boom Louisiana on that day. Much Interest in the Short Course.

The trou- li ble grew out of this. It is said that si Williamson slapped Bowman two or o three times and cursed him, where- a upon Bowman shot him. Find Dynamite Under Motor Car House Mansfield.-Considerable apprehen sion is felt because three sticks of dynamite were found under the house used to store the motor car that runs between this place and the Texas, & Pacific depot.

While a child there broke out a red sore on the legs just in back of my knees. It waxed from bad to worse, and at last I saw I had a bad skin disease. I tried many widely known doctors in different cities but to no satisfactory result. The plague both ered me more in warm weather than in winter and being on my leg joints it made it impossible for me to walk, and I was forced to stay indoors in the warmest weather. My hopes of recov ery were by this time spent. Sleepless 4 nights and restless days made life an unbearable burden. At last I was advised to try the Cuticura remedies [Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills] ( and I did not need more than a trial to convince me that I was on the road of success this time. I bought two sets of the Cuticura Remedies and after these were gone I was a differ pnt man entirely. I am now the hap piest man that there is at least one true care for skin diseases. Leonard A.

Y MIX THIS FOR RHEUMATISM Easily Prepared anal Inexpensive and Really Does the Work, Says t Noted Authority. Thousands of men and women who have felt the sting and torture of that dread disease, Rheumatism, which is no respecter of age, persons, sex, color or rank,' will be interested to know that it is one of the easiest af flictions of the human body to con quer. Medical science has proven it notsa distinct disease in itself, but a symptom caused by inactive kidneys. Rheumatism is uric acid in the blood and other waste products of the sys tem which should be filtered and strained out in the form of urine. The E function of the kidneys is to sift these p poisons and acids out and keep the A blood clean and pure. The kidneys F however, are of sponge-like substance, - the holes or pores of which will some times, either from overwork, cold or exposure become clogged, and failing in their function of eliminating these S poisons from the blood, they remain p in the veins, decompose and settling th about the joints and muscles, cause the untold suffering and pain of rheu- H matism and backache, often producing complications of bladder and urinary disease, and general weakness. The following simple prescription is said to relieve the worst cases of rheumatism because of its direct ac- Si tion upon the blood and kidneys, re- to lieving, too, the most severe forms of bladder and urinary troubles: Fluid Ni Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargo,, one ounce; Com pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bot tle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. The in gredients can be had from any pre scription pharmacy, and are absolutely harmless and safe to use at any time.
