OF SUFFERING
This Lady Tried Cardui. Let Her

Statement The Results
She Obtained.

troubles, says: "This trouble went ON
for IA years, often / was unable to
work and suffered badly at -. times,
when 1 could not be on my feet at all.
Really In bad health all the time dur
ing those IA years, and was never
without pain, with awful backaching,
had no appetite, was nervous, but at
that time my husbands sister !.
recommended that try Cardui, which
I began to take and which has
caused me to be In better health ever
since. In a few days I felt that i'm
provement had begun. My back got
stronger and less painful. / got less
nervous and my appetite began to i'm
prove. In a few weeks my improve
ment was noticeable, and got into
better health than l had had for IA
years. My walking before had been
very painful, and could not stand on
my feet to do any good. After using
these medicines, however, could walk
without pain and was able to do the
work and housekeeping for an ordi-
nary family. My back and appetite
were better and also my nerves." s.
If you suffer as Mrs. Elan did, take
Cardui. 1t may be just what you
need.-Adv.

kudents Want Back.

0tudents Want Back.
An appeal will be made to the board
OF trustees for reinstatement Of the
10 students at the University Of Mis-
sissippi who were recently expelled.
following the series OF hazing incl
dents and acts of rowdyism in Gordon
Hall.
Reports from Oxford state that
Chancellor Powers and the faculty are
standing firm, and that the expelled
students will not be reinstated with
their consent; that the chancellor has
pointed out to the board Of trustees
the Importance of enforcing respect
for constituted authority, and in event
the appeals are made he will go be-
fore the board with a complete state
ment of the facts that led up to the
expulsion of the students.
1t is stated that the parents Of some
of the boys expelled will employ coun.
sci to present their case to the trus.
tees, claiming that they were not in
volved in the affairs at Gordon Hall.
The faculty, however, is confident
that no mistakes were made; that they
located the ring-leaders and dealt with
them in the proper manner. Little or
nothing was sent out from Oxford in
the way of dispatches during the pc.
Rod of trouble, but 1t Is known that
the affair was much more serious than
the few meager advices indicated, and
that a large number of students were
in open revolt against the university
authorities for several days, and had
things all their own way in Gordon
Hall.
A meeting of the board of trustees
will probably be held in Jackson early
in January, when the entire affair
will be given an airing. 1t is not prob
able, however, that the meeting will
be open, as it is the policy Of the
board to consider such matters in ey.
ecutive session.
