hardly drag around, and would have
severe headaches continuously.
"Since taking Cardui, I have en-
tirely quit splitting up what l eat
Everything seems to digest all right
and ! have gained ten pounds in
weight"

Supplanting the good old fashioned
American turkey on the dining table,
"baby" ostrich was served in at least
three places in New York. Fresh
from the ostrich farms in the south
western part of the United States, the
baby ostriches, each weighing so
pounds, arrived there Wednesday for
Thanksgiving. Though ostrich has
been on the menus of Chicago and
other Western hotels for the last few
weeks, this was the first time ostrich
has been served in New York. Fifty
more of the birds will reach New
York in day or two and roast ostrich
will be added to the menus of other

three of $33, 938, OOO, 600. In other
words, agriculture exceeds all of these
industries from the standpoint of in
vestment. Tilling of the soil is the
largest single industry in the United
States. And when it is considered
that the people engaged in agricul-
ture constitute more than one third
of all the people in this country en-
gagged in any business occupation, it
will be readily understood of what
prime importance is the furthering of
good roads that will open UP our
