SUFFERED ALL
NIGHT LONG
Painful Experience of Mrs.
Stephens. Husband Tries in
Vain to Obtain Relief.

Pontotoc, Miss,-"Ali night long,"
says Mrs. p. G. Stephens, of this
place, Il would suffer with my back,
and l had such dragging down pains
l could not stand it to walk or ride.
for it would put me in bed.
My health had been bad for two
years. My husband got the best doc
tors that he knew, but their medicine
did me no good.
| used Cardui, the womans tonic,
and 1t put me on my feet again. I
am feeling as we'll as did when I
was 16 years old
| used about bottles in all. and
Cardui has helped me more than any
thing that | used.
| took lots of other medicines. but
they did me no good.
As long as | live, won't be with.
out Cardui in the house.
AS a remedy for weak, tired, worn
out women, who suffer from any Of
the aches and pains caused by wom-
anly troubles, Cardui has been proven
safe and reliable.
Composed of gentle-acting, herb in
gradients, Its action Is mild and natur-
al. and 1t has no bad after-effects. Il
Is therefore harmless for young or old.
1t has helped others, and should
certainly help you, too.

ARKANSAS AS A
POULTRY RAISER
Ranks Twenty-second In U. S.
Figures Given Out by Gen.

10,8O8,758 FOWLS IN 1909
These Were Valued at $2s6,562 an
Average of 26.54c Per Fowl.
27,o54,674 Dozen Eggs.

Western Newspaper Union Naws Servics
Little Roek-During the year 1909
there were raised in Arkansas 10,SOs,-
75S fowls on the 1888 farms veport-
ing. These were valued at 81 6s,56g,
an average of 26.54 cents 800 NJ.
On ,s5so7 farms renorting ere
raised during the same yea4\ sc -
674 dozen of eggs, valued at a total OF
$4,459,272. an average of 16.4S cents
per dozen, according to advance flg-
ures of the Thirteenth census issued
In Washington by Director e. Dana
Durand of the Bureau OF the census
department of commerce and labor
The total value of the fowls and eggs
raised in the state for that year was
s7,327,S34.
Arkansas ranks twenty-second in
the production of poultry during that
year.
Figures for U. S.
The total number of farms reporting
fowls raised in 1909 was $3.50, 154, or
$50 per cent of all farms in the United
States, and the number of such fowls
was SS,46S,354, or an average of S64
fowls per farm No report was pub
lished in 1900 showing the number OF
farms reporting or the number or
fowls raised in 1899, but the total
value was given as s136,S30,15 as
against value of 1909 Of S202, 5O6, ~.
It will thus be seen that the value OF
poultry produced in one year shows an
increase during the decade OF over
s65 500 900, or $50 per cent.
The last census shows that in 1900
there were produced in the United
States, 591.311.37l dozen eggs. valued
at $306, 6SS, $50. The production in 1879
was 1928, 662, 433 dozen eggs, and the
value, $144,240,554. While the pro-
duction of eggs during the ten years
Increased but $50 per cent, the value
more than doubled. the exact amount
of gain being s162,44S.419. or 1925
per cent.
Seven states in the country raised
over 10000 fowls in 1909, namely: IL
linois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Texas,
Ohio and Indiana; their combined pro-
duction comprising over SO per cent or
the poultry produced in the United
States. Only four states, however, re-
ported production OF over $50. 100000

Finally one day a severe and n.
most fatal attack OF heart trouble
frightened me and gave up both tea
and coffee. using Postum instead. and
since that time have had absolutely
no heart oalpitation except on one or
two occasions when I tried a small
quantity OF coffee, which caused severe
irritation and proved to me must let
1t alone.
When we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because We
did not make 1t according to directions
but now We put little bit OF but

the Postum to boil full Is minutes
which gives 1t the proper rich flavor
and the deep brown color.
