to know the early signs OF kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning.
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by a
cold, or fever, by overwork, or by over
indulgences, the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy, there is head
ache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and
a dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances of the urine.
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel OF stone in the
kidney, or crystallizes into jagged b1ts

tubings. Then follow the awful pains

DOES ALL OF
Her OWN WORK
And is Glad TO Do So, as She Was
Denied this Privilege
For Two Years.

Richmond, Ky.-Mrs. N. V. Willis, OF
this place, says: Il suffered for over
three years with womanly trouble, and
tried many different treatments, but
none of them seemed to do me any
good. / had almost given up to die,
when a friend of mine begged me TO
try Cardui. the woman's tonic. ! got
a bottle, and began to feel great deal
better after the first few doses.
then got four bottles, and after tax
ing these was cured.
| don't know what female pain is
now, do all of my work, eat anything
want, and feel like a 16 year old girl.
f.. / never expect to be without Cardul
in my house as long as / live, as
firmly believe it saved my life, and
will praise it to all of my suffering
lady friends"
Cardui is a purely vegetable remedy,
containing no harmful mineral prod
ucts. Its ingredients act in a helping
building way on the womanly constl-
tuition. 1t has been relieving woman
ly troubles for over half century,
during which time it has proven of
more than ordinary value as tonic
for weak women.
You can rely on Cardui. 1t will do
for you what it has done for thou

GIRLS WHO DREAM OF WEALTH

Can wealth give happiness? Look round
and see
What gay distress. what splendid mis-
eryi
Whatever fortune lavishly can pour
The mind annihilates and calls for
more"
1t has been said that worldly
wealth is the devils bait; those whose
minds feed upon riches recede in gen.
eral from real happiness"
1t is sad enough to see those who
are weary battling with the world
grasping for wealth but it is sadder
still to hear from the lips of girl in
her teens IN never marry unless !
can get a rich man" Such a girl sees
before her minds eye visions of SPLEEN
dora fine home, liveried servants,
automobiles, an opera box and flash
ing jewels. 1t never occurs to her to
give a thought to the kind of man
who would give her all of these lux
uries.
If she we're to be transplanted from
her humble home to such a life OF
grandeur, she does not consider that
it would mean raising an impossible
barrier between those who had loved
and toiled with her and herself.
She could not continue the intimacy
with the girls who had worked side
by side with her, sharing their torn
umbrellas with her because she was
too poor to own one; aye and their
luncheons, a bit of dessert that was
such a treat to her. The lives of the
women who had been born to wealth
would be far apart from hers
She cannot drop the threads of an
old life and pick up those of new
and fit into the surroundings perfect
ly in many a day.
There can be unhappiness under.
meath silken bodices. The rich man
a girl is pleased to wed may have
tastes that are repulsive to refined
girl; glaring faults that would bar her
from joy; an unsympathetic nature
and a cold heart Could flashing gems
and shimmering silks satisfy her long
ing for companionship or for ten
der word or fugitive caress? Many a
girl who weds for wealth and out OF
her sphere wishes in her hearts
depth she could undo it. She sobs in
her loneliness: Would that / had
welded the poor, struggling clerk
who loved me well. He would have
spent his evenings at home, l would
have work to do; but toll would have
been sweet for loves sake" If poor
girl marries rich, she has no guaran
ty his wealth may not take wings
When she is older, weaker, unable tc
cope with the world, she seeks eagerly
for the work she tossed so gladly
from her in the days when she was
young and life before her. Girls
should marry for love and help Their
husbands accumulate wealth. Then
it can be equally enjoyed by both
hand to hand and heart to heart
