 mending Cardui

Waynesville, N. C.-Mrs. Joseph Fry, wife of the Pastor of Jonathan Circuit, Western North Carolina Conference, M.
 B. Church, South, writes:
 About 1899. about fifteen years ago, I had severe case of Typhoid fever and relapse, which left me in a very bad condition, which got worse all the time. Was so nervous, could not stay in the room alone for five minutes, and I was irregular =. My nervousness was an awful worry to me and my friends, and couldn't sleep for four or five nights at time. The doctors would often have to give me something to make me sleep =. Could do none of my work and had to keep a cook.
 l then began taking Cardui and after had taken half bottle felt was im- proving and not so very long afterwards was able to go to church After I had taken four or five bottles, I was able to turn off my cook and do my own work. and I got back my correct mental condition, for had been so ner- vous and absent minded. since my ill., ness. was also able to return to school and resume my studies and my piano lessons at Trinity College where was in attendance"
 = Rev. MT. Fry writes: "She cannot prase Cardui too highly. It is we'll woth what 1t costs. I will recommend it to any lady in poor health"
 Can you doubt the merit of Cardui, in the face of such evidence? Give 1t a trial. All good druggists sell Cardui.

co-education has its mutual advantages.
 The spirit of coed is splendid. Women conduct themselves with dignity and re- serve and especially after high school do I approve it heartily.
 Equal rights for all; special privileges to none; representation going hand in hand with taxation, the women being property holders'' Miss Hidden went on to say, why not suffrage? There is of course prejudice to some extent in the south against suffrage. My father died unsympathetic with the cause. I have two brothers older than am who breathe the spirit of the old south; the old order of things repudiating the fact that the women of their family should be self sup porting; two younger brothers who have been brought up with the modern spirit of the south approve heartily of a woman earning her own living. It devolves then, upon the coming generation, whether or not suffrage becomes a reality in the south, and l believe it will, for the boys who are now growing up are having this instiled into their minds and are over coming the old prejudice, and this means that as lawmakers they will be just and impartial"
