ALL RUNDOWN
 AND NERVOUS
Says This Lady Who Had to Sup port Family of Four. Read Below Her Statement
 About Cardui.

Tallapoosa, Ga.-Mrs. Sallie Eidson, of this place, writes: T was in very poor health, all rundown, nervous, had fainting spells, dizziness and heart futtering. I had these symptoms us- ually at my times. 1 had a very hard time, working for seven years in hotel after my father died. I had to support our family of four I read the Birthday Almanac and thought I would begin taking Cardui. l received good benefit from it. I am sure it will do all that it claims to do. l took three or four bottles before it began to show effects. After that 1 improved rapidly and gained in health and strength. I took nine bottles in all. This is the only time I have taken it. I was down to 10S pounds and I gained to 122. I felt like a new woman. I couldn't sleep before and had to be rubbed, would get so nerv. ous and numb. And all this was stopped by Cardui."
 The true value of a medicine can be determined only by the results ob- tained from it's actual use. The thou sands of letters we have received every year for many years from grateful users of Cardui, are powerful tributes to its worth and effectiveness.
 If you suffer from womanly ailments, try Cardui, the womans tonic.-A6v,

no LIVE LONG!

A recipe given by famous physician for long life was: "Keep the kidneys in good orderl Try to eliminate thru the skin and intestines the poisons that otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eat ing meat as much as possible; avoid too much salt, alcohol, tea. Try milk and vegetable diet. Drink plenty of water, and exercise so you sweat - the skin helps to eliminate the toxic poisons and uric acid"
 For those past middle life, for those easily recognized symptoms of inham- nation, as backache, scalding "water," !" or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, vrusty" joints, stiffness, get Anurie at the drug store. This is a wonderful eliminator of uric acid and was discovered by pr. Pierce of Invalids Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your druggist does not keep it send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce for trial package and you will find that it is many times more potent than lithia and that it dissolves uric acid as hot water does sugar.

A weather expert has figured that there are more than 5000 chances to one that an Arkansan will not be struck by a tornado in Arkansas. A recent happening in Madison county shows that the chances are greatly against death, even if one is caught in tornado. Near Wesley, Henry Ed 1son and Calvin Wilson had just driv- en team into barn on the old Law son place when they saw a tornado approaching. They tried to get into a nearby cave, but were too late. They were knocked down, but were little tn- 1ured. The barn was destroyed, but the horses in it were not hurt, the timbers falling so as make a bridge over them. The buggy to which the team was hitched was practically de molished. Two residences and three barns in the same vicinity were prac- ucally destroyed, but neither the peo- pie in the residences nor the stock in the barns was injured. In one of the barns destroyed there were 34 head of cattle. This barn was literally lifted over and away from the cattle before it was crushed

Eggs Tit For Hatchiug

Eggs for Matching should be
selected and only those having
normal shape and weighing at
least two ounces, with clean,
smooth, strong shells should be
used. Cracked eggs as well as
dirty eggs, rough shells, weak
shells, abnormal shapes. and ex-
tremely long or short eggs should
be avoided.
There is no means of determin-
ing whether or not an egg is
fertile except by incubation.
The fresher the egg, the better
it is for Matching. The vitality,
however is lowered but little
when the egg is held for 10 days
or two weeks. Extension Circu-
lar No. At, of the Penn sylvania
State College school Of agricul-
ture and experiment station
states that eggs for Matching
should be kept in a dry, cool place
$50 to 60 degrees F. laid on
their sides, and turned occasion
ally. The germ starts to devel-
op at 68 degrees F. In cold
weather eggs should be collected
as often as possible, to prevent
chilling.

Bad Trade.

In any town, no matter how
prosperous, there is always a
certain proportion of merchants
who complain of bad trade. They
make a melancholy report Of To-
J cal business conditions. Nothing
doing is the burden of their re-
frain. So far as they are con-
cerned, there is no money IN cir
culation.
Yet the currents of prosperity
are flowing by their door. Hun
dreds or thousands of people pass
their stores every day, most of
them with money in their pock-
cts, bound either for some other
local place of business, or on
their way out of town to buy.
There is plenty of money and
plenty Of prosperity at this time.
If business is dull or if it does
not grow, there must be some-
thing the matter with us or our
methods.
Usually the trouble is that the
public has a kind of prejudice
against such stores. Somehow,
it has got the impression that
they are not up to date and are
running along in the same old
fashioned way that they did
years ago.
The trouble in such a case is
almost invariably that that store
has done nothing to bring itself
before public attention. 1t simply
opens its doors in the morning,
and expects the public attention.
The publicis not built thatway. 1t
does not care much to visit stores
unless it feels in advance that it
is going to buy something there.
People hate to 60 into a store and
then walk out without buying,
particularly in their home town
where they are known. So hav-
ing this impression in their minds
a little unfavorable to such stores
they simply keep away from them
or only visit them when they
want something quick in an
emergency.
An impression of that kind can
be dispelled by advertising. In
a short time a campaign of pub
licity gives an impression that a
merchant has woke up. 1t makes
him look like q live one. People
begin to think that after all he
may be up-to-date, and they come
around to look at what he has.

How They Raised Missionary Money.

pill of the Philanthea Class in the
M. E. Sunday School at Huston
town was given a nickel by their
teacher, Mrs. H. C. McClain to
be used as each thought best to
make the most out of it. The
members of the class were called
together the other evening at
the home of their teacher to
hear a report from each scholar,
as to how much money they had
raised. and how they raised it.
Some had raised chickens; others,
turkeys; and others sweet-pota-
toes, beans, lettuce crocheted
doilies, etc. When their money
was counted it made almost 500.
After refreshment were served
all went home feeling it was time
and money well spent for the
Master.
