A WEAK WOMAN
AND HER STORY
In Floral, Ark, Lives a Lady Who
Feels That Her Strength Was
Restored by Cardui.

Floral, Ark.-'1 must speak a good
word for Cardui," writes Mrs. Viola
Baker, OF this place.
about month ago was in very bad
health | was so weak and nervous that
was not able to do my homework.
"My husband bought me one bottle Of
Cardui the woman's tonic. | took it ac-
cording to directions and now am in
good health.
81 think Cardui is fine tonic for weak
women"
And you are not the only lady who
thinks so, Mrs. Baker.
Thousands, like you, have written to
tell of the wonderful benefit Cardui has
been to them.
Cardui contains no minerals, or other
powerful drugs. 1t contains no glycerin
or other mawkish- tasting ingredients.
1t is just a pure, natural extract, OF
natural vegetable herbs, that have been
found to regulate the womanly functions
and strengthen the female system.
All druggists sell Cardui.

A jury consisting of soma Of The
most distinguished chemists OF
America has returned an unanimous
verdict of mot guilty" in the case of
Knocker ct al, VS.. Coca Cola. It
will be remembered that some time
ago report was circulated that
Coca-Cola contained injurious. ma
terials and was, therefore, harmful
in it's effect upon the human body.
The rumor was originated by an
interruptions competitor of Coca
Cola, the popular temperance drink.
spread rapidly and found some
credence among those who did not
know the origin of the report.
The Jury finds that not only does
Coco-Cola contain nothing harmful
but that it is much superior to tea
and coffee in that it is free from
fannie acid and, therefore, promotes
digestion instead of rotarding it.
Each of the distinguished chemists
reported that he had made a careful
chemical analysis of C ca Cola end
found it to contain no "doro" of
any kind. If you would like to see

MURDER INDICTMENT
AGAINST A NEGRO
CHARLIE DAVIS WHO STABBED
WIFE TO DEATH BILLED
BY GRAND JURY.
The Tragedy Occurred Near Ferris
on Christmas Night-Two Ne
gro Burglars are Also
Indicted.

Charlie Davis, colored, who is ac-
cused of stabbing his wife to death
on Christmas night near Ferris, was
indicted for murder by the grand
jury Monday afternoon. Davis is in
the county jail where he has been
confined since the day following the
killing.
Davis claims the death of his wife
was due to an accident. He AYERS
that she was accidentally stabbed
while the two were scuffling as re-
suit of the woman trying to take a
purse out of his coat pocket. Other
negroes who were with Davis and his
wife tell different story. They claim
that some ten or fifteen negroes
we're serenading Christmas night
and that Davis was drinking. His
wife, they say, tried to get him to go
home. She took him by the arm and
started down the road with him. A
few minutes later the other negroes
heard the woman scream and looked
in that direction in time to see her
fall in the road. They ran to her as
sistance and found that she was
dead, having been stabbed in the
throat Davis was accused OF killing
his wife but this he denied. Negro
men in the party, in spite of his pro
tests, took Davis to Ferris and deliv-
cred him to Constable Ford He was
brought here following a prelimin
airy hearing and placed in jail.

Il Produces copious and Continuous
Supply Of Rain.
The rain tree of Peru grows very
large, is rich in leaves and is called
by the Indians tamaicaspi. 1t has the
power OF collecting the dampness of
the atmosphere and condensing II into
continuous and copious supply OF
rain.
In the dry season. when the rivers
are low and the heat great. the trees
power of condensing seems at the
highest, and water falls in abundance
from the leaves and oozes from the
trunk. The water spreads around in
veritabe rivers. part of which filters
into the soil and fertilizes it. These
rivers are canaiized so as to regulate
the course OF the water.
1t Is estimated that one of the Peru
Wan rain trees will on the average
Weld nine gallons Of water per diem.
IN field of an area OF one kilometer
square-that is, $3.50 feet each way
can be grown 10000 trees separated
from each other by twenty five meters.
This plantation produces daily 3S5.OOO
liters Of water If we allow for eyap-
grafton and infiltration we have 1885,
900 liters or 2o.531 gallons or rain for
distribution daily. The rain tree can
be cultivated with very little trouble.
