"A SPLENDID TONIC 1"
Says Hixson Lady Who, On Doc tors Advice, Took Cardui
 And Is Now We'll.

Hixson. Tenn.-"About 10 years ago l was. ,." says Mrs. J. B. Gadd, of this place. 'I suffered with pain In my left side. could not sleep at night with this pain, always in the left side...
 My doctor told me to use Cardui. took one bottle, which helped me and after my baby came, was stronger and better, but the pain was still there.
 at first let it go, but began to get weak and in a rundown condition, so I decided to try some more Cardui, which I did.
 This last Cardui which took made me much better, in fact, cured me. It h0s been number of years, still nave no return of this trouble.
 l feel 1t was Cardui that cured me, and I recommend it as a splendid fe- male tonic."
 Don't allow yourself to become weak and rundown from womanly troubles. Take Cardui. It should sure ly help you, as it has so many thou sands of other women in the past 40 years. Headache, baekache, sideache, nervousness, sleeplessness, tired-out feeling. are all signs of womanly trou- ble. Other women get relief by taking Cardui. Why not you? All druggists.

day.
Willard saw prices climbing last
fall and laid in supply of potatoes.
He bought twenty-six bushels of l..
II. Keep, grocer, for $39. He had
twice as many potatoes as any fam
lily could eat in a year so today he
sold back to Keep ten bushels for
$40. 1t figures this way: Willard
got sixteen bushels of potatoes for
SO. or sc a cents per bushel. The
grocer says his customer would
make a success as a market manipu-
later.
Another customer who failed to
stock up on potatoes in the fall says
it's time the government got into
quick action with it's food probe
when potatoes are selling for twice
as much as fancy apples.
This customer bought a bushel OF
potatoes for $500 and included 25
cents of eating apples in the order.
Counting the potatoes he found the
bushel contained exactly eighty at a
cost of cents apiece. He received
twIve apples for his quarter at cost
of Q lip cents each.
He's going in for apple dumplings
with potato chips for dessert, he
says, until after the war.
