Book Adoption The county text book committee composed of Dr I ll Trimble, H C Stout, 8 H Slaven, J F McNulty, lil J Maloy and Miss Ida Qoidore, with Supt J L Jones, chairman, met at the Monterey school build? ing on Monday and selected from the multiple list designated by the state school board, the list of books to be used in Highland's public schools for the next five years. It will be seen from the new list that the committee did a plenty, infact about all it could do in the way of making changes, for the only two old land marks left to link the past to the future, are that good old book of many sub? jects, Webster's dictionary, and the old "stand-by," Maury's geography. Although many changes have been fhade, it is believed by those in a position to know, that they are for the better, if not in every instance for the best. Undoubted? ly the committee has done its work well, which, if not at first, will la? ter on, meet with the approval of teachers, patrons and pupils.

I suffered with falling and con? gestion of the womb, with severe pains through the groins. I suf? fered terribly at the time of men? struation, had blinding headaches and rushing of blood to the brain. What to try 1 knew not, for it seemed that I had tried all and failed, but I had never tried Wine of Cardui, that blessed remedy for sick women. I found it pleasant to take and soon knew that I had the right medicine. New blood seemed to course through my veins and after using eleven bottles I was a well woman. Mrs. Bush is now in perfect I health because she took Wine of Cardui for menstrual disorders, bearing down pains and blinding headaches when all other remedies failed to bring her relief. Any sufferer may secure' health by tak? ing Wine of Cardui in her home. Tho first bottle convinces the pa? tient she is on the road to health.

It is a scientific fact that all cases of leart disease, not organic, are not only traceable to, but are the direct result of indi? gestion. All food taken into the stomach vhich fails of perfect digestion ferments and iwells the stomach, puffing it up against th* tieart. This interferes with the action of the heart, and in the course of time thal delicate but vital organ becomes diseased. Mr. D. Kaub'.e. of Nevada.
