Lena Schmidt, Of Dudley, Tex,
Writes a Letter About Cardul
Having Helped Her.

Dudley, Tex-"You may use this
letter in your advertising, if you like"
writes Mrs. Lena Schmidt OF this
place"
"a few years ago, l suffered every
month, but after taking one bottle of
Cardui, l was relieved right away.
"Cardui has surely done me a sight
of good. 1t brought me back my
health. 1 am now strong and we'll,
and feel better than in years. and am
doing all my housework."
Every woman needs a tonic, to take
when she feels blue, miserable, sick,
weak, under the weather.
The tonic to take at such a time is
Cardui, the woman's tonic.
Cardui is also a medicine.
For pain and discomfort, due to fe-
male ailments, no medicine is so good
as CArdui.
The main ingredients of Cardui are
imported direct from Europe, espe-
cially for this one woman's medicine
and tonic, and are not for sale at or
binary drug stores.
Cardui let's specifically on the wo-
manly organs, preventing unnecessary
pain and building up womanly
strength.
Try it for your troubles.
1t will certainly help you.

Growing Winter Cereals in the South.
For more than a century the prin-
cipal crops of the Southern farmer
have corn and cotton, the corn being
utilized as food for man and beast,
and the cotton sold as a ready money
crop. At an earlier date when the
soil still contained much of fits virgin
fertility and when market prices for
cotton were better, this system Of cul-
population. The continual practice
of clean culture which it necessitated
has proven disastrous to succeeding
generations because Of the rapid de-
struction of soil fertility which it pro-
NOTED, and now that cotton has be-
come in some sections no longer a
highly remuneratiYe money crop, it
Is imperative hat the Southern farm
er give greater attention to DIVERSE
fed forms of agriculture in which
grain growing should occupy a prom
inent place. The evolution of eco
nomic conditions makes these changes
essential, because Of
g First-The impoverished condition
of much of the farming lands.
Second-The necessity of maintain
ing winter crops al a projection
against soil erosion. l..
Third-The reclamation of worn
cut" lands can best be promoted by
crop rotation.
Fourth-All of the valuable winter
cereals and several of the most valu-
able winter legumes can be grown
successfully.
Fifth-The importance of a liberal
grain supply for the winter feeding
cattle, sheep and swine.
Sixth-The expediency Of employ
ing farmyard manure to replace a
large part Of the commercial fertilizer
now used. The necessity for the
farmer to make these changes has
been more apparent the last few years
than eve before in the history Of the
South. and conditions were neve

Speaking Of Good Taste.

Good taste abounds. It Is all about
lis and around. vet, If the truth be ad-
mitted, it IS equally and sadly lacking
On every side.
Taste is such a personal thing and
good taste such an arbitrary term
that the mere mention Of taste dis
tinctions calls forth the old. old de-
tense that there Is TO standard of
taste as there is none Of beauty.
1t was long ago conceded by artists
and those in a position to know that
beauty has set its standard-its most
decided standard. Taste has taken
like stand and proclaimed a distinct
dividing line in favor of good and
against the Indifferent and poor. There
are yer degrees of each.
WHAT'S good taste? 1t is some
thing like charm" in a story. a trife
hard to define. but we recognize it at
once when it is present; its absence
pals and sickens us.
In dressing good taste holds a posi-
ton similar to that in other arts. In
entertaining there are the so-called
"canons of good taste" that make ill
bred actions impossible to the cul!
tured classes. and in household decor
alton there is the unmistakable evil
dence of good taste" that we hear of
and that indicates the rank and edu-
cation Of the householder. In dress
ing there are haIlmarks that distin.
guish and earmarks that condemn.
There is a positive yearning among
the initiated to impart knowledge to
those who are outside of the beautiful
gate. The creator of the gown mar
velous and its appropriate accessory
will find his productions more satisfy
ing to himself when there is ~apprecia-
ton of them broadcast.
Much of the dispute about taste
arises through the accessory. A thing
is not likely to be bad alone, but place
the reasonable looking coat beside the
most unreasonable of hats and choke
the owner in an impossible collar or
tie and see what their victim looks
like. The cruel deedsis.not done for
her; she is the author of her own de-
feat. Her observation is unframed,
her eye-uncultivated.
While the charm and the science of
good taste in dressing may not be di-
dactically taught, there are helps by
the way and by the wayside. 1t is an
evasive study; each new case brought
before the notice of the novice may
disprove her lately acquired theories,
but constant practice on the broad
highway and in the drawing room
will train the eye and the mind as to
the why's and wherefores of good
dressing.
Self-study is a branch not to be
scorned in this observation lesson.
Before the long mirror may be made
such personal comment and such thor
ough search that some good, and
great good, must eventually come of
it.
There is, too, within the boudoir
and with no more foreign subject for
study than the personal self, a posi-
tive right, a freedom, to make critical
comment that approaches the unkind
in more public places.-New York
Press.

Means.
The successful culture of winter
cereals means more to the Southern
farmer than he probably now recog-
nizes, as
First-It should insure a rapid in
crease in the number of live stock
now held on the farm, also.
Second-The profitable winter
feeding Of beef cattle.
Third-The ability to successfully
cope in this matter with the Western
farmer.
Fourth-The promotion of some
ready money crops other than cotton.
II it is advisable to use them in that
way. and
Fifth-A large supply Of manure
to distribute over the farm every year
and save a large portion of the inn
mense amount of money now ex-
pended for commercial fertilizers.
The production of winter cereals
means the institutional economic crop
rotations on the farm. and the sue
cessful culture of two crops a year on
land that is properly treated. which
should double the earnings of the
farm for all practical purposes. Sure
~ these matters are of mor than
passing Importance to the farmer. 1t
is not only possible for the Southern
farmer t grow cereals in winter, but

wins Damages in France.

Not since the Steinheil murder
trial has Paris been so excited about
a court proceeding as the gay city has
become over the breach of promise
suit successfully pushed by Madamoi-
selle Barette in the civil court Of st.
Etienne. The amount awarded in
recompense for the damage to her
heart was only 1000 francs. or $500,
but the interesting feature Of the pro-
ceeding, to the Parisians. was the
fact that the action ever was begun.
Such cases are rare there. The
ground for the suit was the plaintiffs
allegation that her fance broke of a
two years engagement on the day the
banns were published. A legal au-
thority says the action IS the first for
breach of promise in which damages
ever have been given in France

Improved Soil Culture Essential.
After several years of observation
and study. it seems certain that the
first essential necessary to the sue
cessfu1 culture of winter cereals and
legumes is a better understanding of
the soil and its culture. There are
many principles which may be termed
scientific which govern the cultivation
of the soil that are not generally ap-
preciated, or If they are they are not
put into practice. There are three
principal soil types met with in the
South:
1. The sandy or the leachy type
characteristic of the Cumberland
Plateau.
2. The upland red clay soils which
prevail over a large portion of the
Appalachian region; and
8. The alluvial or river bottom
soils.
The aIIuvial or river bottom soils
are generally subject to overflow and
constant enrichment. They are also
deep and win yield fair crops even
with Indifferent management.
The sandy types of soil r gener-
ally Ieachy. They also frequently suf-
fer from drought. These difficulties
can be overcome economically by
blowing under green crops. by using
some five to nineteen tons of barn
yard manure, and applying twenty
five to fifty bushels of lime per acre
every second or third year.
The heavy red clay type Of soil
must be treated in the same manner.
L. For the purpose of rendering it
frfable.
2. To ~focculate the clay by means
Of the lime, making it more porous
and charging its water-holding ca
pacfty.
After this treatment they will all
be benefited and greatly improved by
the method Of cultivation now to be
outlined.
