Leap Year.

Leap year, it has been complained by some one, seems to have been named on the same principle as the Meeting of the Waters" at Killarney which is place where two streams do not meet. but part 4 leap year ought to be year in which We jump over day-a 364 day year. One ex. planation is ttat all the days after February 29 jump forward one day in the week more than usual. The Ro. mans used to call it 'bissextile year" and the French still do so.

CAMDEN MISS

Miss Wilson Suffered for Nine Years, but Finally Obtained
 Relief by Taking Cardui.

Camden, Miss.-"About five years ago" says Miss W. E. Wilson. of this place, .I had to undergo an opera tion, and after that it hurt me to stand on my feet or walk much.
 I had suffered, more or less. with womanly troubles, for more than nine years, and was very weak and nerv- ous.
 As soon as I commenced to take Cardui. felt better Now am not taking any medicine, for don't need any.
 Cardui has done me more good than anything have ever taken. It is the grandest medicine for women that was ever made"
 This remarkable letter. from a lady who has actually tried Cardui. ought surely to convince you of the genuine merit of this successful medicine. and induce you to give it trial for your own troubles.
 Cardui is the ideal remedy for all weak, suffering women. young or old.
 Cardui acts specifically on the womanly constitution. preventing un- necessary pain. and building up strength where 1t is most needed. During the past 50 years it has prov en itself to be reliable remedy for weak women. It has helped others. and should certainly help you. At all druggists. Try it.

therefor, and to display such flag up

From the above mention of the
school law it must be plainly seem
that it is the duty of school officers

ers may be of assistance in the en-
forcement of this law and are urged
to take steps looking toward the
patriotic struction of our youths

display of the flag.
Let every teacher who is not fur

school officers and reasonably urge
upon that body the necessity and i'm
portance of carrying out the provi-

I'll tell you about this thing of pay
ing ones debts: Very few men do it
from a spasm of morality. They do
it because it pays best the long
run. No man who makes practice
of being dishonest and repudiating
his just accounts ever amounts to a
hill of beans. In the commercial
world they never get to the quarter
pole. The successful business man
thinks more of his credit than he
does of his wife, for he knows that if
his wife leaves him he stands some
show of getting another one, but if
his credit forsakes him he is up "a
gainst il. He can have but one credit.
A successful gambler always makes
his word good and keeps his credit
inviolate. tits his only stock in trade
1t seems strange with all this in
mind. young fellows will start out
by beating little bills at restaurants
and stores. They will even borrow
fifty cents of a friend and refuse TO
pay it back. That class of fellows
always wear banner that can be
seen all over town, and everybody is
"onto' them. When it comes to pay
ing debts honesty is always the best
policy. Bert Walker.

Woman Finally Recovers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of
complete nervous breakdown. It
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con-
dition, IS the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs Anna
kounz, 2II Mechanic St, Pueblo,

For many years I suffered from

TO do any house work and doctors
failed to help me. Remedies /

says the Cassaday Times. Why? Be
cause it is going to be possible after
January l, 1913, to send by mail
Growing roosters, cackling hens, eggs
of any age, butter of any old strength,
turnips, onions and almost anything
and everything. Postoffices will no
longer be dull. There will be no
time for reading the postal cards and
similar extraordinary duties What
with hunting for the stamps on the
pecking ROSTERS, collecting extra
postage on over-age eggs and extra
athletic butter, the job of postmaster
will be no sinecure- Trying to sort
jam out of a mess of dill pickles and
turnips is likely to drive some of our
oldest postmasters into retirement.
