Lizzie Perry, in q letter from tnis
place. II was SO nervous at times, l

stronger than l ever was before, ana
l feel like a new person.
/ am thankful for what Cardui has
done for me. / wish all women who
suffer would take Cardui, and be hap
by and healthy"
Cardui's success in benefting n
curing sick and ailing women, is u
to the fact that it is a building tonic
for the nerves. as well as for the ply
steal system.
Being composed exclusively of vege-
table ingredients, which act gently
and alphabetically In a natural way.
1t does its work safely, reliably. and
without bad after effects.
Fifty years of success prove these
facts.
Isn't it reasonable to believe that
Cardui will help you? Ask your drug

1t is certainly worth trying.

Doc Dies From Grief.

A dogs striking attachment to his
master is recorded from Villeneuye-
Saint Georges. While attending the
funeral of a municipal councillors
wife M. Constantine, a resident of that
village, contracted congestion of the
lungs, from which he died suddenly.
He had a dog. a small fox terrier,
which never left him. Since the death
of M. Constantin the poor animal re-
fused food and passed whole days at
the cemetery moaning on the tomb of
his dead master. The other day the
terrier was found dead.-le Figaro.

ASSESSORS ARE AT WORK.
Fair Increase Expected in the Values
This Year.

Jaekson.-County assessors are busily
engaged in preparing the new realty and
personality assessment rolls for the cur
rent year, and reports from over the
state are to the effect that they are
making fairly good Roadway with the
work.
Unfortunately, this is a campaign year
in Mississippi, and it is not likely that
there viii be any remarkable increase in
the realty and personally rolls, for a
large majority of the assessors are candi-

Gun be judged by the past, they are not
inclined to be too strict j n placing OF
values On property when their political
fate is in the hands Of the men whose

trolley. When we reached the divid-
ing line etween Elizabeth and Newark
I expected to hand my additional
nickel to the conductor, but instead
the car stopped when we reached the
Lehigh Valley tracks and an inspector
got aboard and we waited there until
he had finished. 1t was a hold-up In
more than one sense.
What but pure c~ussedness" could be
the reason for such a procedure? We
were delayed from five to ten minutes.
There were fifty of US. which means
that the aggregate loss of time was
between four and eight hours. And
the company lost money, not only in
the additional salary paid TO the in
spector, but in the decreased efficiency
of the service, and the additional fares
that could have been earned and col
lected if the car had gone on its reg
ular trip. Pure c-ussedness' is good
revenge. of course. for the way in
which the Public Utilities Commission
has treated the company, but it Is cost

corporation is a stranger to such
things as scientific management and
efficiency. TRAVELLER.
