Patriots Day in this city passed
quietly with but little going on in the
way of amusement except the movies
and the baseball game in the after
noon. A flag raising was held by
w. H. Niles at his livery stable on
Union street in the morning where a
tall flag pole had been erected on the
roof and a good sized American flag
was raised. A large crowd was pres
ent and the National anthem and Am
erica were played on a graphophone
during the ceremony
Many citizens observed the day by
blowing or spading UP their garden
plots while others even completed the
work of planting their gardens.
Although most of the stores We're
closed all day the business street was
far from deserted as people were eth
er going somewhere or returning TO
their homes a large part of the time.
Hallowell was we'll represented at
the community flag raising exercises
in Augusta in the afternoon and the
trolley cars were over-crowded every
trip.
The weather man was indeed kind
on Patriots Day and the warm and
sunny atmosphere made conditions
ideal for a mostdeng htful holiday.

HAS NEVER
 BEEN NERVOUS
Since Taking Cardui, and Does Not Now Suffer Any Pain
 Writes Georgia Lady.

Trenton, Ga.-Nrs. Ella Clifford, of this place, writes: T have always suf- fered from painful =. but was worse after marriage. I would have ... pains and misery in my stomach and hips. I would have bad sick headache every time, which would gen. erally last two days. I had always heard what q good medicine Cardui waS so I thought I woulG try it. I used two bottles and it helped me.
 Fifteen months later I began to be nervous and was worse at my But at these times I did not have any pain and do not now suffer any pain. But I was very nervous. so nervous that my hands would shake. Any noise would make me jump. So I took two more bottles of Cardui. I have never been nervous since and do not have any pain. I think this is all due to Cardui and Black-Draught."
 Cardui, the woman's tonic, is com posed only of pure, vegetable ingredi- ents, which have been recognized for many years by standard medical books as of great medicinal value
 With a wonderful record of over 40 years to it's credit, Cardui has proven it's merits in the treatment of ailments peculiar to women.
 If you are weak and nervous, and need q good, reliable, female tonic, try Cardui. At any drug store.-Adv.
