your Wine of Cardui and only needed to
take three bottles when was fully re-
covered"
T771lHEN Miss Rose Owens, who
WI has a responsible position in
w the Government service at
Washington, D. G., decided to
Try Wine of Cardui, she made a wise
choice. Over a million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. 1t is not
strong medicine but may be taken every
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. 1t does not force results, but
corrects arrangements of the menstrual
organs. 1t Strengthens the nervous
system, gives tone to the bodily func:
tions, acts directly on the genital
organs, and is the finest tonic for wo-
men known to the science Of medicine.

her by the Ladies Advisory Depart

advice by just buying 81 90 bottle of
Wine of Cardui from her druggist and
taking this great medicine in the pri-
vacy of her home. No doctors eI-
animation, treatment or advice is nee
essary. You have read what these two
cured women have written. Is this not

WOMEN wHo succEEn-

Whenever woman fails in business
Of any kind she is pointed out as an ex-
ample for her sex to take warning BY
and lay to heart the lesson that women
have no head for business, whereas the
truth is that men fail in about the
same proportion as their sisters, though
the latter have far greater odds against
them since they have had no training
for systematic routine work and have
not inherited the mental condition nee
essary TO it.
The women who succeed are those
who go at their work with a determine
tion born of courage and positive con-
Viction and whose energies are untiring.
A notably successful woman has told
her sister workers that the secret OF
getting on is to fght-fght quietly. but
stubbornly-aga against the obstacles in
ones path. All the world loves a fight

ers who believe in themselves, who plan
their daily battles as generals plan
their campaigns in war and who are az
fair and generous in the struggle as
they are brave. These are the heroes

but as Tar as they are concerned they
are making a fearful mess of it,
And it's all because she was careless.
She didn't make up her mind first what
she intended him to be-lover, friend or
piaything. She tells me he was fasci-
mating in all three roles. and no sooner
had she made up her mind to have him
as one thing when he developed charm
ing qualifications as another Finally
she did make UP her mind on one point
she didn't want him as a lover.
That's right where she made her mis-
take; no woman can tell at such an
early stage of the game whether she
may not at some time or other want
that man to propose to her.

But when the man marries the girl
he finds out her real self? Naturally.
But then she's married to him. and he
has to make the best of it. You see
that every day. and it goes by the po-
etic phrase .'wane of the honeymoon. %
In nine cases out of ten it's nothing in
the world but finding out the real girl.
But here is the strangest thing of all:
While a man exacts that a girl shall be
a compendium of all the maidenly vir-
tues he doesn't mind at all if she is ut
