THE VALUE OF VITALITY.

Every mother should study her daugh-
ter's health
Not merely from the outside, but also
from the inside.
A girl, remember, does not always real
ize there Is something the matter with
her, when she is merely listless, color
less and appetiteless
But you, as a mother should.
You should understand that these SEEM
ingly slight symptoms are signs of an
alarming condition of your daughter
health.
She lacks vitality She is losing her hold
on life.
The flame of her lamp is burning low.
The least little disease. cold, measles,
scarlet fever, typhoid, appendicitis, may
extinguish 1t.
Only one thing to do.
Supply fresh fuel for her vital flame by
giving Wine of Cardui
You can depend upon 1t, that this
medicinal, vitalizing tonic, will do her
nothing but good, however young she
may be.
1t Is a pure, pleasant preparation, made
from extracts of medicinal plants. 1t con-
tains no salycilic or boracic acids, or
other presentations likely to injure the di-
gestive organs, but every single ingredient
has its value In restoring the vital forces
to sick girls and women.
If your daughter is thin, pale, weak I'M
able to stand much work or play, listless,
tired expresslonless and seemingly with
out much interest in life, she needs Wine
of Cardui to build her up.
If she Is nervous, irritable, highly
strung, exctable, creature of moods and
habits has twitching of the eyes, face,
muscles, fingers, arms, legs or feet,
studies too hard etc, she needs Wine OF
Cardui to relieve that high strung ten
sion on her nerves.
If she suffers pain, such as headache,
neuralgia, backache. dragging-down sem
Stations, monthly abdominal pains, etc,
she needs Wine of Cardui to relieve the
pain and cure the weakness which causes
the pain.
In short, for growing girls, Wine of Car
dui is a necessity, whenever there is the
least sign of vital weakness or nervous
trouble
1t is the finest tonic and builder that
was ever prepared for sick girls.
Girls who exhaust their brain and nerve
force by over study. or who are weak
from childhood up, will never be fit for
wifehood or motherhood
Mothers should realize that their first
duty to their growing daughters Is to
| fit them for lifes pleasures, duties and
| trials.
Experience in a million cases, proves
| the truth of what we say viz: that Wine
of Cardui will do what cannot be done by
any other food medicine or treatment.
1t will build up nerve and vital force
of girls and women, relieve all their pain
and suffering. enrich their blood, create
new bone and sinew, and make of frail,
pale, thin creature, of ghostly appear
ance, a magnificent woman, with the
bounding pulse blushing cheek strong
nerves. sparkling eye and beautiful figure,
of perfect vitality and health.
Build your daughter with Wine of Car
dui, and do not forget that 1t is as good
for you as for her.

FUND FOR BIRMINGHAM
Wales INCREASING,

The fund for the little waits at the
Mercy Home which is being raised
through the society department of this
paper received two additional subserip-
tlons yesterday. A gentleman. one Of
Blrmingham's well known physicians,
who requested that his name be with
held, sent a subscription of FIVE dollars,
and a check for twenty-five dollars From
a Child" was sent to this department
yesterday TO be given to the Creehe chill
dren.
These two subscriptions make total OF
one hundred and elghty-four dollars
C$1sD raised for the Creche fund.
Most of the subscriptions have been
small, not exceeding one dollar, and the
large subscriptions have ranged from five
to ten dollars. The largest individual
subscription was the check yesterday for
twenty-five dollars.
1.-THE Creche fund" said a philanthro-
pist yesterday while being applied to
the most beautiful charity in Brming-
ham, is at the same time educating peo-
pie to give. The fact that it has been
raised by small subscriptions shows that
a great many people are anxious to con-
tribute to it, and [ like to see fund
contributed to by a number of subscrib-
ers, no matter how small the subscription.
1t is better to have a thousand dollar
fund contributed to by an equal number
of subscribers than for one man to give
the thousand.
81 do not mean that people should not
give literally, and give thousands If
they are able, but the manner in which
| the Creche fund has been raised this
year, and as was the case last year, is a
| case In point
II hope that the fund will continue to
grow. and that it will receive both large
| and small contributions"

STERLING DECLARES HE
WILL MAKE HIS ESCAPE
Accused Robber, While Being Taken
From the County Jail to Court,
Breaks Chain.

Extraordinary precautions were
taken Yesterday morning to prevent
George Sterling, alias Joseph O'Brien,
making his escape while being taken
from the County Jail to Judge
Dunne's court to be arraigned on
charges of robbery and assault to
murder. Detectives O'Dea, Mulcahy
and Bailey were sent by Captain Mar
tin to assist four Sheriff's deputies.
Sterling was the last in a gang OF
fourteen prisoners who were chained
together and handcuffed. He is pos
sessed of a powerful wrist and while
in the van he used his wrist to such
purpose that when he stepped out of
the vehicle at the Hall of Justice the
chain was found to be broken. The
handouts were still on his wrists and
he was surrounded before he had a
chance to bolt. He was taken to the
courtroom and after being arraigned
pleaded not guilty and the cases were
continued till Friday, when he will
plead.
The same precautions were taken
on the trip back to the County Jail.
Sterling has repeatedly stated that ne
would take the first opportunity TO es-
cape. He is looked upon as one OF
the most dangerous crooks in the
State and has served term for burg
larry. He robbed George W. Evans,
proprietor of a restaurant at 2241z
Third street on November 16 and
when cornered by Detective O'Dea at
tempted to shoot him. He got away
from O'Dea and was later arrested in
San RernardinO.
