 I cannot praise Cardui enough to my lady friends. It is certainly the medicine for suffering women and girls"
 If you have any of the ailments so common to women, or if you feel the need of a good, strengthening tonic, we urge you to give Cardui a trial It as helped thousands of women in its past 50 years of success, as is proven by the numerous enthusiastic letters of gratitude, similar to the above, which come to us every day.

THE EXPERIMENT

That a race meeting of but 21 days duration, beginning with a St. Paricks Day handicap. would prove as valuable in answering the ques- tion as to the advantage it would be 10 Hot Springs as would a longer meeting, seems assured. and while it would be improbable that the full sum originally exacted as a gua.an- tee fund could be raised, yet a sui ficient fund could be secured for the 21 days meeting.
 Many people believe that 1t is lack of entertainment that causes a cutting off of the patronage Many believed all the time that racing was the most beneficial form of enter. tainment we haye ever had. an opin- ion based on the general prosperity of the years when racing was con- ducted here.
 Therefore it is not likely that the spring race meeting will be aban- doned, but that on the other hand a meeting of but 2l days will he at tempted, and that within this ex- pertinent an answer will be made to the racing question. If the meet ing proved a success. or so nearly a success as to assure overwhelming success a second year the result will be good. If the meeting is not a success we will know that definite ly.
