HESE words are as since,

- lHESE words are as sincere as
 the statement "health is bet ter than wealth" Those who 1J have always had health arc liable to underrate the value of this great blessing, but little illness brings them to the realization of the fact that life itself without health is worth little. It is human nature to neglect the health until suffering sounds the warning that the body needs relief. Thousands of women have been brought to the con sciousness that they were sufferers and needed medical attention. Irregular menstruation has been allowed to run on until the system has become so run down that there is hardly anything to build on. Falling of the womb, leu corrhea and painful menstruation have fairly driven the sufferer to physician. After months of treatment the patient fails to improve. She is beginning to appreciate health. Then Wine of Cardui is brought to her attention. The menses are regulated and the other maladies are cured as natural result. Health comes again with all its delight full buoyancy. Then the patient never tires telling of the success of Wine of Cardui. This is an old, old story which would fit thousands of cases.

FILLIEs RACE TO scHoRR's.
Flora Pomona Wins Tennessee Oaks,
 the Mile in 1.423l

Memphis Tenn, April 15.-John w. Schorr, the local turfman annexed an- other classic today to his long string of victories by winning the Tennessee Oaks at one mile. with his good 3-year-old lilly Flora Pomona. The Schorr horse was al- ways fayorite in the betting. while Marque and Vain -Moinen was held at fours. Autumn Leaves and Our Jessie, were at long odds.
 The start was excellent. the five con tenders being on even terms when the barrier went up. Wain-a-Moinen showed in front at the first quarter. but turning down the back stretch Autumn Leaves assumed command and closely followed by Wain-a- -Moinen and Flora Pomona, set the pace to the head of the stretch. At this point MarQue under Wmkfeld's viz orous ride. moved up rapidly and at the sixteenth pole was leading by length. Woods shook Flora Pomona up a trifie and the lilly drew away, winning by half a length from MarQue. who beat Vain a-Moinen half length for second money.
 The day was an ideal one for racing, and a large crowd cheered the winners.
 In the first race at six furlongs-Red Hook won handily from Harry New. Charles w. Meyer. the favorite, finishing third.
 The second event. at four and half furlongs, was won handily by Onatus. The original third race was declared off and another at mile substituted. Lee King won in a drive from Chorus Boy with Trebor. the favorite. third Only four starters faced the flag in the fifth race at a mile and a sixteenth. South Breeze, the favorite, played with his field and won easily from Brigade. Admirante, second choice, won the last event at seven furlongs-Nearest, the favorite. was best, but the start spoiled his chances. Summary:

The doctors tried their best to restore me, but nothing gave me permanent relief until reading of your Wine of Cardui I decided to tryit.

is to the effect that when Mr.. Cham

the Boer general as "Mr. De Wet. "

Chamberlain repeated the ".Mr, :"
whereupon De Wet remarked sternly

colonial secretary had to follow the
example of Lord Kitchener and recog-
nize the military status of De Wet be,
fore the ubiquitous soldier would
shake hands.
