NEAR DEATH

But Husband, With Aid Of Cardui,
Effects Her Deliverance.

Draper, N C.-Mrs. Helen Dalton, Of
this place, says: 81 suffered for years,
with pains in my left side, and would
often almost smother to death.
Medicines patched me up for awhile
but then would get worse again. Final
ly, my husband decided he wanted me to
try Cardui, the wcman's tonic, so he
bought me a bottle and began using it.
1t did me more good than all the medi-
cines had taken.
| have induced many of my friends to
try Cardui, and they all say they have
been benefited by It's use. There never
has been, and never will be, medicine
10 compare with Cardui. believe il is
a good medicine for all womanly trou-
bleS."
For over so years, Cardui has been re-
Iieving woman's sufferings and building
weak women up to health and strength.

million others.

Taylor's sight was partially restored
through an operation at the hands of
DR.. A. H. Edwards, of Memphis, but in
this Dr. Edwards takes no especial
credit. He declares the same opera
ton could have been performed by any
skillful specialist, but the cause is one
of such rarity that its circumstances
are most unusual.
Born with cataract in both eyes,
Taylor was allowed to grow up without
the operation for their removal. He

If Not Invaded Germany
Can Support Herself Indefinitely.

1t is evident that, provided there is
no invasion of German SOIL Germany
can support her population for a year
or more, and perhaps indefinitely on
the German raised grains, together
with those imported from Austria
Hungary.
Should she be besieged, the atten-
ton of all her non-fghting population
would be turned to further expert
ments in intensive cultivation and
stock raising.
There is doubtless enough wheat and
rye in Germany to supply the whole
population with bread for many
months to come. Germany will also
be able to exchange its large surplus
Of sugar, dye-stuffs, drugs, chemicals,
potash, coal, ETC., for other things
which it will most need, with Den
mark, Scandinavia, Holland and Swift
erland.

Scandinavia Now Germany's
Only Source of Supply.

The only other source of supply is
from Scandinavia, across the Baltic sea
or by way of Denmark. Just at pres
ent, Germany commands the Baltic
Sea, and until the supremacy is ques-
toned by England's feet, she may con-
tinue to do a small amount Of business
with Sweden and Norway, although the
sympathies of these two nations are
inclined towards the allies. The re-
mainder of her imports in normal
times is from South America, Canada,
United States, and Australia. These
routes are of course closed to Germany
AS soon as it appeared inevitable
that there would be war with Russia
+ and France, there was temporary
food panic in Germany which com
menced along the frontier and spread
rapidly inward until it had reached all
the large towns.
1t was the usual case of the rich
buying up as quickly and as much as
possible of all available stores, and of
the retail dealers reaping golden har-
vests.

Food Spectators Quickly Stopped.
No High War Prices Prevail.

This, however, was soon stopped
Prices were fixed for some of the prim-
airy necessities, the maximum price for
rye -four, for wheat -four, and for salt
being about the same as prevailing in
the country.
Shops in which higher prices were
demanded were closed at once, the
goods being sold later under govern.
ment supervision. Large sums were
voted for most municipal councils tc
insure the provision of food for the
poorer inhabitants.
Reports have been received from
Berlin saying that the crops are nearl!
all gathered and that Germany now
has stocks of food to last for at leas
IS months. This is, of course, likely tt
be exaggerated, and it seems as though
