 felt I must have some relief, for it seemed that the awful suffering would surely kill me.
 I had read of what Cardui had done for others, and thought l would try it.
 After the use of one bottle, the pains had entirely stopped and I was able to sleep.
 After using four bottles, I was a well woman, was regular, I got back my flesh, and I now weigh 126 lbs.; and am able to do all my work with out any trouble
 I certainly recommend Cardui to suffering women, for 1 know it cured me.
 My friends who saw me when I weighed S5 pounds and would see me now, would know what Cardui had done for me"

When Allan Gray walked out of the
office Of Smiths Weekly, after hav-
ing applied successfully in response
to an advertisement for an assistant,
he thought that his future was as
sured. Twenty-four, just out of col
lege, with all the enthusiasm of a
young man facing the struggle of
life, he appealed to Smith, although
for different reasons than those
which Smith outlined.

and proprietor, humping his fist
down on the table. "And we're go

in the whole state. That is my pur-
pose and that's what we are going to
do-togetheT, Mr.. Gray"
There was a girl in Allan Gray's
life. Her name was Mildred and she
was twenty-five. She was earning a
living in the metropolis two hundred
miles away. Each of them was put
ting by money toward the day-the
great day when Allen would be able
to earn an income for both of them.
At the end of his first month of
service Gray's salary was raised from
fifteen dollars to twenty-five. Smith
was rapidly handing over to him the
charge of the Weekly. The young
mans singing editorials in particu-
lar aroused the editors appreciation.
"Give it to 'em hot" said Smith.
''Weu done, young man! I see I made
no mistake in taking you"
With more sophistication Allan
might have suspected that something
was wrong. Actually he was delight
ed. He detailed the entire situation
to his sweetheart in his twice-a-week
letters.
