years this way before I took Cardui.
One day my husband saw the
Cardui advertisement. He got me a
bottle, l began taking it and next
month never felt any pain at all, did
all my work without any trouble. :"
Mrs. Starnes says she did not take
any more Cardui then until 1908, when
she took four bottles, with excellent
results. She concludes her statement
with the following: Il would advise
all expectant mothers to give Cardul

Judging from the experiences of so
many thousands of other women, you
can depend on Cardui to surely help
you, If you suffer from any Of the
complaints so common to women.
Get a bottle from your druggist to-
day, and give it fair trial.-Adv.

Teachers Examinations in March.

lCdCHCIS ENdUIliiablSHo III NatSils
The next state examination for
teachers will be held March 30-31. The
weather was so inclement when the
December examination was held that
but comparatively few took it. In or
der to give the graders an opportunity
to care for the papers Of the next ex-
animation, which will be heavy, 1t has
been decided to hold the examination
sooner than was first planned.
1t is desired to have certificates
from this examination in the hands Of
teachers in time for them to teach
summer terms of school. AS this is the
last examination until the middle Of
July, it will be necessary for all teach
ers who expect to begin teaching be-
fore September / to take it. No teach
er can legally receive pay for teach
ing who has no contract with the
board. No board can sign a contract
with teacher who has no certificate.
The law fixes fine for the violation
of these regulations.

unbroken string Of victories in the an

round against Miss Madelaine Lowerre,

will be played tomorrow.

by vanquishng Jerome Lang, at Cd,
6-3. He will meet the winner of the
match between Vincent Richards and

against Mrs. Pritchard, and there were
many long rallies from the back OF the

final punch necessary in the critical
stages, however.

match with Lang and timed his deep
drives with such precision as to earn
many points by placement.
