1.-THE WHOLE TRUTH
Says Mrs. Eads, in Writing Her
Praise For Cardui.

Circleville, Ohio.-"All I have said
about Cardui, the woman's tonic, is
the whole TRUTH" says Mrs. Fannie
Eads, Of R. F. D. No. 6, this town.
II suffered with womanly weakness,
and pains in my back and limbs for
two long years. I was so bad off, /
could hardly walk at all.
My husband advised me to try
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and con-
cluded to follow his advice. After taxi
ing Cardui according to directions, I
now feel like a new woman, and can
do all Of my work.
Before taking Cardui, I was walk
Ing skeleton; now weigh $50 pounds.
/ recommend Cardui to every suf-
fering woman, for l know what 1t did
for me. My dresser is never without q
bottle Of Cardui on it."
There is no reason why Cardui
won't help you, just as it has Mrs.
Eads, as well as hundreds OF thou
sands Of other women in the past 90
years. So If you suffer from any OF
the many ailments so common to
women, or need a good Strengthening
tonic for that tired, nervous, worn-out
feeling, get a bottle Of Card-u-i,
today. At all druggists. NcB7

The Ford Keeps a.Chuggin,

inc rOru heepS a-Cnuggln
Old Zeke Perkins sold his hogs
one day, and the gosh burned fool
threw his money right away; he
rode into town sitting on board,
and came riding home in a darned
little Ford. When he came to the
house, and got to the gate, he shut
down the throttle and put on the
brake; he grabbed for the reins, got
the throttle instead, and the darned
little Ford kept a-chuggln' ahead.
Zeke jerked on the levers and he
turned on the gas, he kicked at the
pedals and he broke out the glass;
he cut all the wires and he pulled
off the top, but the gosh darned
Ford just wouldn't stop. He pulled
out his knife and he smiled so Sc
rene, cut hole in the tank, drained
out the gasoline; he pulled out his
gun, shot the tires full of lead, but
the gOl darned Ford kept a-chuggin'
right ahead.-Swiped.

WHO HAS DONE THE MOST
GOOD FOR OUR COUNTRY
BY Marguerite Clay

In my opinion President Wilson
has so far done the most good of
any man for the United States
His cool head and common sense
have kept this country neutral and
at peace. where otherwise were
there a man OF less moral courage
and honor the entire country
would be plunged in the most dis.
astrous and brutal war OF all
times.
His good sense has also beer
OF good use In the making OF the
laws for the United States. His
tariff laws have benefited mer
chants and consumers alike; his
income tax has lessened the bur
den of the common people. and his
tax on American ships that pass
thru the Panama canal, tho few
people can see the benefit OF the
latter, all help to place him at the
head of the men who have done
their country a service.

WAS COUNTY FARM BUY ON

IF THESE THINGS ARE TRUE:

That the county commissioners in purehas-
ing "The Willows" farm do not intend to move
the county's dependent poor from their present
inadequate quarters at Georgetown and
That 'The Willows" is actually worth but
fraction of the price agreed upon with c. ID.
Stimson-sii3,7o7 and
That the commission intends merely to ex-
pertinent in produce farming, and
That other farmers besides Stimson had been
informed that there was to be public hearing at
which they might offer their properties for sale,
and
That everybody concerned, with the exception
of Millionaire Stimson and the two commissioners
that voted in favor of buying his place, has been
"biked" then
THE STAR BELIEVES THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE is RIGHT, AND HEARTILY APP
PROVES OF ITS ATTEMPT TO FOIL THE

THE STAR PLEDGES ITS SUPPORT, IN
EVERY MANNER POSSIBLE, TO FORCE THE
COMMISSION TO QUASH ITS AGREEMENT
WITH MR.. STlMSON, GIVE HIM BACK HIS
FARM AND SWALLOW IT'S OWN CHAGRIN,
If THE DEAL WAS NOT ON THE SQUARE.

farce of what might have been noble enterprise,
they have insulted the people who put them in
office.
