Are you fIesiEating, at the parting of the ways, on the question of whether, or not, you should "Take Cardui?"
 If so, perhaps the following inforrna- fion will help yon to settle the question, in way that win be satisfactory and benefciaL-to you.
 The main question really resolves it. self into two:
 First: Will Car dui do you any hs.rmq
 Second: Will C;lrdui do you any good9
 We can answer them both for you, in a manner that we feel sure will be con- Nincing.
 First: Cardui will not do you any harm, no matter what your age, or in what condition of health you may be. Cardui is manufactured according to scientific methods, from absolutely harmless vegetable ingredients, con- tains no minerals, Opiates, or other dele terious drugs, and is fully Guaranteed under the Pure Food and Drugs Act.
 Second: CardUi will do you good. How much good, of course, depends very largely on your present state of health, how long you have been sick, and how long you continue to take it. These things you know more about than we do.
 But we do know that Cardui has proven itself, in the many years since it was first used, most benefcent, strengthening, and specific remedy, for the common disorders to which Mo- men are so subject.
 Cardui will strengthen you if you are weak.
 It will relieve your female troubles, if they are due to some cause which can be reached by medicine.
 As proof of the statement that Car dui will benefit womanly disorders, we ask you to read the letters printed below; then to go to your druggist and get a bottle of it.

Suit by the Government against the
Powder Trust will be filed at Wilmington,
Del, this week. Action will be brought
to obtain a dissolution of the combin.
alton, with request for the appoint

'trust-busters" will appear in the arena

assistant attorneys in the Department of

1t IS said the Powder Trust takes first
rank of all the combinations coming

organization has been the most thorough

most tyrannical aud oppressive and its

positions and it was so clearly family
affair that no plan could be devised for
its prosecution. With the retirement

Certain recent statements of the Geo
logical Survey have been regarded as
predicting All early exhaustion of the
fuel supplies of the United States
DR.. George Otis Smith, director of the
survey, has given out statement pre-
pared by Experts M. R. Campbell and
E. W. Parker, which show that III our
bituminous coal fields the total quantity
OF coal stored in the ground was about
2, 200, 900 900, 900 Short tons. From this
close of 1906, about a ,625, 900, 900 short
tons. Estimating a recovery of So 20 per
cent, or, in other words, assuming that
for every ton of coal mined there is a
half ton lost, that represents an exhans-
ton Of nearly 1000, 900, 900 tons, or only
about 13 of l per cent, of the total
supply, The United States produced
and consumed in 1906 343, 900, 600 short
tons. At this rate if no increase were TO
BE- allowed for, the bitnminous coal supply
would last about 1000 years. Taking
into account, however, the probable rate,
first, of increase aud, later, of decrease in
production, Messrs. Campbell and Park er
are of opinion that the bulk of the cheap
ly mined bituminous coal will be ex-
hausted within 200 years. But when the
period of decreasing production sets in
the need for fuel will doubtless be sup
piled in considerable degree by the nti-
lization of other forces, thus extending
the life of the bituminous coal fields
So far as the anthracite region OF Penn
sylvania is concerned, predictions Of ex-
haustion have been based mainly on est-
mates made by the Pennsylvania Geo
logical Survey which shows that there
was originally in the ground 10 500. 900
900 long tons of coal, and that for every
ton mined one and half tons were lost.
This would mean that only $500, 600 900
tons of the original supply were recover
able. To the close of 1906 the production
had amounted to Approximately 1850,
900, 900 tons, which would leave 6 1866
900, 900 tons still available, and this. at
the rate of production during The last four
years-about IS. 900, 900 tons a year
would last about 90 years.

Direct and positive evidence that
Brownsville, Pex., was not shot up" by
three companies of the 25th Infantry, it
is asserted, will be given by several new
witnesses who will appear before the
Senate Committee on Military Affairs
when it resumes its investigation of the
riot in November Further than this,
these witnesses will testify that the town
of Brownsville was ''shot up" by an
organized band of desperate men, who
since that time have been terrifying the
citizens who are willing to tell the whole
story.
This sensational evidence, it is declared,
has been obtained after two parties of de,
tectives have been driven ont of Browns
vile by the same band that did the shoot
ing. For fear that it would not be safe
to leave witnesses who are expected to
make such serious revelations in Browns
vile until November, they have been
brought from the Texas town and are now
hiding in Northern city until the in
vestigators reconvene.
Sensational in the extreme have been
the experiences of the representatives OF
the Constitutional League. who made
desperate attempts to obtain evidence
from the people in Brownsville. They
declare that many witnesses could be OBJ.
tanned to testify as to who really com.
United the depredations on the night of
August IS. 1906, were is not for the fact
that the town is virtually under the con-
troll of the conspirators.
According to these men, the riot was
| inc;ted to force the Government to remove
the negro soldiers. The people of Browns
Vile had protested TO the Texas Senators
aud to the President against sending them
to Brownsville. Failing in this. several
secret meetings were held and plans were
arranged to drive away the negro soldiers.

Midsummer months are evidently not
too warm for the game of national politics.
The people, generally, may not be utter
ested in the game, but those who are EN-.
gagged in playing it and are active are
losing no points which they deem of al
vantage. Just now Secretary Taft is al
the bat.
Secretary Taft's candidacy seems des-
tined to be prominently before the public
during the next few weeks. Gu Tuesday
there is TO be meeting of the State Cen
trail Committee OF Ohio and much signi-
ficance will attach to it as bearing on Mr.
Taft's candidacy in his own State. When
this meeting was first discussed the pre-
diction was confidently made that the
cImmittee would adopt a resolution in
dorsing Mr.. Taft for the Presidency.
Within the next two or three weeks
Mr.. Taft will start out on genuine
political tour. He will then be before
the country in his own right and will
