Mercer, Ky.-"About Is years ago."
writes Mrs. W. I. Ball, of this place.
II began suffering with change of life,
and was suffering very much.
began taking Cardui after having suf-
fered for 3 years, and l was dread
fully nervous. Hardly felt like doing
my work. Couldn't sleep well at nights.
However, after several doses of Cardui
I saw an Improvement and in a few
days I could do my work with ease
and In two weeks I was able to walk
six miles and went to the street fair
at Central City and enjoyed myself.
After using two bottles, I got my
natural health and strength and it
pulled me through that most danger
GUS q periods in a woman's life with
no trouble or suffering.
Il am now hale and hardy, and was
80 years old the 18th of this month.
I will never cease praising Cardui,
which did me so much good. 1t also
saved my daughters life when she
had such dreadful spell. :"
Over 40 years in use, Cardui has
proven its efficacy as "the woman's
tonic" If you are weak, and rum
down, and suffer from symptoms of
troubles peculiar to women, give
Cardui a trial.--Adv.

BAD JOKE.


alcohol as a food is joke, and
rather a bad joke at that" affirms DR..
Woods Hutchinson.
alcohol does not do for us single
one of the things we think it does,
and 1t does a score Of other things
which we have no idea of when we
drink 1t.
"Thirty years ago we were blandly
confident that alcohol was a food be-
cause it could be burned in the body.
Now, we know that the total amount
Of alcohol which can be burned In the
body in "a hours is only two
ounces, which would be about the same
amount of energy as one good slice of
bread and butter; that is to say, about
one-tenth of the fuel required to keep
us alive.
eff we were to attempt to use al
cohol as serious source of nourlsh-
ment we should be blind drunk be-
fore we had taken more than one
fifth of the amount needed for a days
rations.
Moreover, even in the small amount
which can be daily consumed and
burned up in the body, its poisonous
effects are at least 80 per cent greater
than it's food value.
1t throws the body engine out of
gear almost twice as much as it puts
fuel into its fire-box. The amount of
malt taken with it in beer and fruit
sugars in wine are so trifing as to be
not, worth counting in our days food
supply"

personal LIBERTY" EXHIBIT.

An antialcohol exhibit in certain
town faced several saloons located
just across the street, the proprietors
Of which were reported to bitterly re-
sent the prohibition facts presented.
Threats were said to have been made
by them, so that the special night
watchman employed gave much of the
time to careful guarding of this ex-
hibit. The town appears to be some
thing of a rendezvous for per-
sonal liberty agitators. These people
were the first to "size up" the exhibits,
and continually some of them were cir
culating among the people ready for
discussion.
One day foreign-born citizen stood
at the w. @. T. u. booth and fell into
conversation. He professed to believe
in temperance all right, but he had a
right to do as he pleased in his own
home, etc. Presently he was joined by
another man who talked loudly after
the same fashion. Soon quite little
company had gathered to listen and
occasionally take part in the Stree for
all" Suddenly right into their midst
lurched man who Immediately be-
gan to take part in the discussion. He
was drunk and said so, but informed
them that liquor was the worst curse
in the world; that though he was a
drinking man he meant to vote dry ev-

til everyone present realized the situ-
alton, then the director of the exhibit
turned to the two defenders of per-
sonal liberty and remarked, Gentle
men, here is a sample of the prod
uct of what you are advocating and
defending. How do you like the ex-
hibit?" There was no reply and soon
they had disappeared, seeming to just
melt away in silence.

WORK FOR EVERYBODY.

Il saw not single man who was
looking for job as the result of the
closing of the saloons, breweries and
distilleries," said former resident of
Seattle, after visit to that city. ION

that there was more work than labor
ers to do 1t. l was told by someone
from the Industrial Brotherhood, a
refuge for down and OUTS that there
was actually nobody without employ
ment who was able to work. You know
that for two winters preceding the 60
ing into effect Of the prohibitory law,
we had In Seattle what they called
Hotel Liberty at which, during the
last winter there were housed about
$500 men out Of employment. That
has now ceased to exist; In fact l am
told by those who know, that last
winter there was no bread line in the
city at any point"

EVEN PENNSYLVANIA.

That supposedly impregnable strong
hold Of liquordom. the state of Pennsyl-
vania, is, like every other state Of the
Union, giving way before advancing
prohibition sentiment. Five years ago
1t had two dry counties; today it has
eleven. In 1911 there was one saloon
for every 6S1 persons; today there is
one for every 737. In 1911 there were
about 700 square miles Of dry terri
tory; today there are 12,S0O.. In 1911,
10000 people Of the state lived In no.
license territory; today there are
100000, nearly one-fifth Of the total
population. 1t is stated that of the
100 saloons in Philadelphia, 200 are
on the market. One broker advertises
that he has 100 for sale.

Simple Question to Answer.

The editor of the correspondence
columns had very busy day--a very
busy day, indeed. So busy, in fact,
that he had to enlist the services Of
the Sub" to read out the correspond
ence.
what is the next QueryT he asked,
when he had gone half way through
the pile of letters.
"Oh," replied the "sub," "a reader
wants to know how to prevent the
hairs in his mustache from falling
out. What shall | put down, sir?"
WELL" answered the editor, with
sigh, "just put down; The best way
to prevent hairs from falling out is to
brush them lightly apart, and keep
them from quarreling."
