COULDN'T CUT
SLICE OF BREAD
Terrible State Of Weakness Ex.
perienced By Ipswich Lady.
Cardui Made Her Strong.

Ipswich, S. D.--Mrs. Henry Royle,
of this place, says: II suffered for
nearly 10 years, with womanly trou-
Bile. Nothing seemed to help me until
took Cardui, the woman's tonic. It
made me well and strong. Before
commenced to take Cardui, could not
stand on my feet.
l was so weak, could not cut a
slice of bread. Now, l can stand all
day, and can do most of my work. |
think Cardui is the best medicine in
the world. l have been feeling fine
ever since began to take it. Cardui
was recommended to me by a friend,
and will gladly tell my friends Of it."
If Cardui will relieve and cure such
a stubborn and long-standing trouble
as that Of Mrs. Royle, then it is only
reasonable to believe it will quickly
and surely help you, too.
Cardui is the ideal general tonic fol
women. 1t has been found to improve
the appetite and build up the entire
womanly constitution. You can al
ways depend on Cardui, for it has
helped more than a million weak
women in the past so years, who suf'
fered from troubles so common u
their sex. Try Card-u-i.
1t will help you. EB'

WORLDS BEST COW

A new worlds butter-rat record
for one year was made on February
Goth by Murn Cowan, 9-year old
Guernsey COW owned by O. c. Barber
Barberton, Ohio May Rilma, a
Pennsylvania COW, but also a Guern-
sey, held the worlds yearly butter
fat record when she was replaced by
Murn Cowan, whose record is indeed
remarkable. In 365 days she pro-
duced 24,OOS pounds of milk which
contained 4.57 per cent or 1O98.1S
pounds of butter fat. Her highest
record for one day during the year
was 50 pounds, or approximately 10
gallons of milk. Her average daily
record was 65.77 pounds, or approx
mately gallons,
These records were made under
the supervision of the Dairy Depart
ment Of the College Of Agricultural
and were verified by representatives
from eight other states.
Murn Cowan's new record gives
Ohio eight of the highest sixteen 365
day butter-fat records of any and all
breeds. No other state can claim
more than two of these sixteen rec
ords.

wonderful new system which enables
any person or little child to learn to
play the piano or organ in one even

lutely nothing about music or have
never touched a piano or organ, you
can now learn to play in an hour or

note from another are able to play
their favorite music, with this method
without any assistance whatever from
anyone.
This new system is called the

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CALAMITY
ROWLING

There Is q lesson TO be learned In
two events which might be mentioned
rrom eight other states,
For years the sugar planters OF
Louisiana have sent TO Congress men
who steadlasty maintained that un-
less sugar was protected by a pretty
suf tariff the planters would fail,
When the President insisted that the
sugar tarin be gradually removed,
these spokosmen for the planters
were loud in proclaiming TO the coun-
try the dependence of the planters
upon the sugar tarG. The state OF
Louisiana was pictured in dark col
ors. How terrible We're the condi-
tions down here and the tariff had
not yet been removed!
Knowing the tariff will be remov-
ed gradually, the planters at once be-
gan to readjust their farming, But
they found they couldn't borrow any
more money Why? Because even
their own bankers took too seriously
the calamity bowling of the planters
and their Congressman.
The railroads have been devotinp
several months to a similar campaign
of calamity bowling so as to get the
public to take pity upon them and
allow raise in freight rates, The
roads have been very prosperous
deceived the public, and now when
foreign money markets are in a
chaotic condition they must look ia
home capital They say they cant
borrow money, Why? Because they
have made everybody believe they
are broke, down and out, and who
will loan money to beggar a pro.
digal? They are going to be NJ
against real trouble because they
cried, wolf, wolf" when there was
no wolf
This same thing must be carefully
guarded against by farmers.
If you preach calamity and say
there is no money in farming who is
going to loan you money when you
need it, Think this over Success.
