And Soon Was Perfectly Well and

Had Ever Been, Says
Kentucky Lady.

Narrows, Ky---Mrs. @. r. Askins, OF
this place, writes: "About Is years
ago had got into a rundown state,
my back ached all the time, felt weak,
my bones seemed to ache oil over. I
had weighed only 104 lbs. when I
married, and never had been right ro-

but after my marriage I seemed to
get worse all the time for two years
until at this time my brothers.

Therefore, I began taking it, and In a
short while I began to improve, my
health and strength began to be built
up, and also my flesh.
After my first child's birth, over two
years had passed by, but the /.

some medicine from our doctor, which
did me no good, tho he intended it to
bring the about, for he said the
blood was going to my head and caus-
ing 1t to ache, which also helped to
make me SO dizzy. So I turned to
my old friend Cardui and began TAX

well and strong, gradually gained

tests upon many healthy young men
that the drinking of large amounts of

Therefore IL you want to keep healthy

Why Labor ls Scarce.

Here Is one reason which you may
have overlooked why labor is growing
scarcer every day in the United States:
We have now In Pennsylvania alone
225,000 automobiles. One-third of them
are pleasure cars driven by chauf-
feurs, an army of $4,000 able-bodied
men removed entirely from produc-
tive work.
The army of pleasure car chauffeurs
In the whole country must exceed half
a million men-all nonproducers. In
deed, there is another great big army
Of men building pleasure cars to be
operated by these other nonproducers
of essentials.
They used to complain in Germany
that every taxpayer had to carry q SOL
der on his back. We vary 1t In the
United States by carrying a chauffeur
on our backs, says "Girard" in the
Philadelphia Ledger.

WARNING TO BEER.DRINkER.

The beer-drinker is much worse off
than the whisky drinker, who seems
to have more elasticity and reserve
power. He (the whisky drinker) will
even have delirium tremens; but after
the fit is gone you will sometimes find
good material to work upon. Good
management may bring him around all
right. But when a beer-drinker gets
into trouble, it seems as If you have

Mark Twain meeting the man who

As matter of fact, the man was
extremely proud of the dog because it
was bit Of an oddly In appearance,
besides being intelligent and highborn.
Twain, however, studiously avoided
looking at 1t.

How II Is Done.

A man, engaged In buying a necktie
for himself, turned the pile over and
over and at last put aside two as not
worthy of further consideration. The
salesman placed the rejected ties In
q separate box. The man asked wheth-
er they had been placed by mistake
with those he had been examining.

almost every electoral vote would be
vital, the returns from down on the
border were grabbed hot off the wires.
After veering back and forth for days,
New Mexico was definitely placed in

the presidents margin was so scant

Wilcox Demands Recount.
On Friday National Chairman Will
cox Of the Republican party handed
out the following statement:
THE result still depends upon the
vote In few close states. 1t must be
borne in mind that the returns thus
far announced are, in most states, un-
official, and may be. changed by the
official count required by the laws of
those states.
"Twice during these unofficial COM
putations yesterday in California mis-
takes in additions were announced
from that state, substantially changing
figures previously given.
1T Is a common experience that the
result Of the official count almost al
ways varies from the returns first an
noCnced.
Where the vote Is as close as that
reported in several states, 1t may well
be that material changes will result
from the official count.

all necessary steps to see that an ex-
act and honest count of the vote is
made. When the current seemed to be
running against Mr.. Wilson on Wednes-
day the Democratic managers an

recount in every close state.
"All we desire is to make sure that
the vote is counted as cast"

what action might be taken in regard
to a recount there was little likelihood
