Pope, Tenn.-"As the result of a fall
from a horse, I suffered intense agony

Clark, Of this place. Il was irregular
and had falling feelings and other wo-
manly trouble. AT last was induced
to take Cardui, the woman's tonic, and it
helped me a great deal. I certainly be-
lieve if it had not been for Cardui and
Thedford's Black-Draught, 1 would have
been dead, instead of having the blessing
of health.

one I think as much of as 1 do of bot
tie of Cardui. 1 could tell a great deal
more and not get tired. recommend it
to all my friends, for 1 am sure it will
cure others as it has me-"
Remember that Cardui is a vegetable
extract, composed of valuable medicinal
ingredients, which build up vitality. tone
up the nerves and strengthen the wo-
manly constitution.
For over so years, Cardui has been in

MOUNTAINEER

Dear Household: Has it ever occurred to
some Of you that being member OF ANYTHING
put obligation YOU? That 1t makes 1t
a duty to be a loyal one?
This thought has occupied my mind for some
time, especially since tOday's issue, and have
become more determined as a member or our
Household to become more active and keep in
closer touch with the writer's. II one Is trying
to be a Christian and going to church only
once or twice year, 1t is little good that
he derives from being one, but II one goes as
often as possible. they do not feel so foreign 10
Il we are ever going to do anything for God or
man, let's be about II. for the night eometh
when no man work.
You who have contemplated writing to this
page but couldn't up sufficient courage re-
solve TO do so right You know not the
good even short letter may do. "Procrastina-
is a right thinking person but what expects
to do something or reach the point OF activity
sometime in the future. They case their minds
and cOnsciences with saying, II am yet young
and may get in somebody's way; therefore
Will give way 10 older and more experienced
ones" But the sad part is 1t often happens
that they never do find the conditions just
right and go through life almost blank.
This thing of putting off or neglectlng to
do our duty. whether 1t is to speaking kind
words. helping a fallen brother, or speaking 4
word in Christs name, is indeed the great sin
of omission We know not the good we may
do by grasping the opportunities as presented
to us, nor how much better one feels after hav-
ing done something to help another.
knew man, and knew him well, who left
in former years said he had the impulse and
conviction that he should accept proposition
made at camD-meeting. but he failed to do so
and the Spirit never again came to him. He
lived to be an old man, and told 1t many
time with sadness and pathos in his voice.
The spirit with which Mrs. E. A. NJ. wrote.
in issue Of August q. is TO be commended. Such
letters are an encouragement to others. Happy
every day; how few do we find this way! She
wasn't finding fault with Mrs. Hard Work or
condemning Mrs. Holly Leaf. but just making
the best of things and enjoying life every day
What a lesson. 1t is easy to know that she
is living 2 Christian life.
There is one thing we Householders might
do that would aid Miss Thomas in her work:
certainly it's safe in saying that she desires
the department to be the best possible. so let's
not only compliment the eloquent writer's but
encourage all. l believe many have made a
beginning but feeling that their letters were nor
appreciated have given 1t up. You know tits
natural for all to less appreciate at
tention. There Is no one with any feeling OF
gratitude IN his her heart that does not ap-
preciate a complimentary remark. Miss Thomas,
you can put down for a healthy note for
this page. Also for a badge.
With good wishes for all.

Origin of the "JOhnnies'

The opposing armies applied many
different names to each other during
the war. At the outset "Reb'' and
"Secesh" we're favorites as applying
to the Confederates. Along in 1862
"Grayback" and "~Butternut'' we're
often used. both derived from the
uniforms the Confederates wore.
Many of their uniforms were of a but
ternut color. dyed reddish brown with
butternut bark. But some time in
1864, as the story goes. two pickets,
n from each army, we're haunting
each other. The Union men said it
was as bad to be a rebel as to b. q
Johnny Bull. The name "~Johnnies''
because of EnRland's supposed friend
ship for the Confederacy. sprung into
great popularity and has survived.
