Quite EXPENSIVE

Regarding Her Troubles, and

womanly trouble, and was getting
worse and worse all the time.
had two good doctors and ! was
sent to two good hospitals to be oper-
ated on, but no operating was done.
All this cost me lots of money. and
/ was no better off than before I
started.
Finally I began to take Cardui, the
woman's tonic. After taking six bot
ties, the pains are all gone, and feel
like new woman entirely. am now
able to do all the homework for my
self, husband and FIVE children, with
ease. Before taking Cardui, was in
bed seven weeks at time, not able
to do anything at all.
! cannot praise Cardui enough for
what it has done for me-"
There are thousands Of women who
have been benefited by taking Cardui,
the woman's tonic, and there are thou
sands who are suffering from some
form of womanly trouble-suffering
for the lack of Cardui
Are you of this number? If so,
don't delay, but begin taking Cardui

YIN. c. A. BUREAU
OF EMPLOYMENT
YOUNG MEN AND EMPLOYERS ARE
GIVEN SERVICE GRATIS.
Fall and Winter Season Expected to
Keep This Feature of the Associa-
tion Busy, and Preparations
Are Made for Work.

Memphis.-A meeting of the employ
ment committee of the Y. M. c. A., of
which JEFF B. Martin Is chairman, was
held at the association building to con-
slider the work of the department.
This department has been moved to a
corner on the main floor of the lobby
and is brought more prominently to the
attention of the members and visitors.
The secretary in charge of the depart
ment is at his desk from s am. to 8
am, pm. to pm and 6 to Z pm,
when applicants for positions and en-
ployers desiring to secure young men
may consult with him.
The services of the department are
free to members and non-members alike.
Each applicant for a place is given per-
sonal attention, his references examined
and all information possible secured
about him, so that when a possible en-
ployer appears he will have full data.
In the past twenty days of the new
location of the bureau more than a score
of men have been placed in suitable
positions. Business men are reminded
that the Y. NJ G. A. is the place to 90
for clean cut young fellows for office
and clerical work and for technically
trained men as well. A civil engineer
applied for work last week and was
given employment within Is minutes
after he registered.
There is no charge made employer or
employee for the service, the association
feeling it duty it owes the community,
even though there is some expense en-
tailed in the operation of the bureau. 1t
is such work that the professional asso-
citation workers style real association
work.

LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.

Many people exist in more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and cof-
fee are often the cause of the cloudi-
ness, and that there is simple way
to let the light break in.
A worthy farmer had such an exper-
fence and tells about it, in letter. He
says:
For about forty years, have had
Indigestion and stomach trouble in
various forms. During the last 25
years would not more than get over
one spell of bilious collie until another
would be upon me.
1.-THE best doctors / could get and
all the medicines | could buy. only
gave me temporary relief.
Change of climate was tried with
out results. l could not sleep nights,
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times so that it seemed
1t would jump out Of my body.
II came to the conclusion that there
was no relief for me and that was
about wound up, when l saw a Postum
advertisement. had always been a
coffee drinker. and got an idea from
the du. ludL maybe COuee was Ine
cause of my trouble.
Il began to use Postum instead of
coffee and In less than three weeks /
felt like new man. The rheumatism
left me, and have never had spell
Of bilious collie since.
my appetite is good, my digestion
never was better and l can do more
work than before for 40 years.
81 haven't tasted coffee since I be-
gan with Postum. My wife makes 1t
according to directions and / relish It
as well as ever did coffee, and was
certainly a slave to coffee"

LIQUOR SELLER IS GREEDY
Industry Is Not Only Non-ProductIve

dimes of the workingmen-which ag-
gregate in a.year many more dollars
than the spenders are apt to think
many saloonkeeper might shut up

money of the day laborer, the me.
chanic and the clerk which, pouring
steadily into the till of the liquor
seller, makes whisky trusts and beer
syndicates possible.
And what does the liquor dealer
give in exchange for the working
mans earnings of which, with other
merchants, he greedily claims share?
Food. clothing, shelter, happiness, i'm
provement? No. He gives in ex-
change that which robs him of all
these. He gives his customer that

self against the autocracy of "capi-
tai"
We claim that no industry has a
right to exist which does not con-
tribute In some measure to the gen.
eral welfare and prosperity of the
nation at large. AS In a perfect
physical organism every organ and
every atom contribute to the health
and happiness of the body as a whole,
SO true economic science would de-
clare that every human being should
be not only a consumer, but in some
degree, at least, producer, con-
tributor to the well being of society
as a whole.
Now the liquor industry is not
only non-productive of good, but 1t is
an actual and an active producer of
an enormous and dangerous class of
non-producers. The saloon, the gam
bling den, the brothel, the Jail, the
poorhouse, the insane asylum, all fur
nish their quota to the social discord,
all add to the sum OF human misery,
and all are to more or less extent the
products of the liquor traffic. And
still the trade" bids unblushingly for
its share of the earnings Of labor!

DADDY HAD HAD FULL MEAL
Wall of Small Boy Awakened "SIeepy"
Man to Realization of What He
Made Away With.

One night last week papa got home
late. There had been so many things
to attend to at the office-and after
that a customer from out of town had
arrived. and-well, papa got home
awfully late. He hated to disturb the
family, SO he camped in the dining
room. And in the morning, being thirs-

under the table again.
Then came his little son, the earliest
to arise. Little son viewed the situa-
tion in the dining room, then lifted up
his voice and wept.
What's the matter?" groaned papa.
