OLD LADY
FEELING fine
After Taking -Four Bottles OF
Cardui, The Woman's Tonic.

Golden, Ill.-"Having used Cardui,
the woman's tonic, in my family, for a
number Of years." writes Mrs. Kate
Metz, Of this town, "and always with
such good results, I feel 1t my duty to
write you about it, so that you may
publish my letter.
Ny mother is living with me, and
she is 81 years old. For the last three
or four years, she has been troubled a
great deal with cramping spells, and
for days at time, she would have a
severe headache.
She read of how much Cardui has
helped other women who were sick
and ailing, and decided to give it a
trial. She began taking it three times
a day, and since then has been getting
along simply fine.
Mother only used four bottles of
Cardui, but she is no longer troubled
with the severe headaches, and her
stomach is so much stronger that she
can eat most anything.
We both feel that any lady who is
not strong and well, would be greatly
benefited by the use Of Cardui."

1t does seem strange that that
rank female anarchist, Emma
Goldman, is still permitted to
preach her doctrine of anarchy and
lawlessness in this country. She
is now speaking in New York in
the interest of the non CONSUMPTION

ported to have referred to Congress
as that jumping jack pulled by
the strings of powerful people.

New TaIkinq "MovIes.n

Application has been made for a
patent on very elaborate device
which would produce a combination of
the cinematograph and the photograph
to give us moving pictures wherein the
characters not only move but speak.
The idea of such pictures is not new,
but the difficulties of s-nchronizing
have hitherto proved insurmountable.
BY synchronizing is meant the exact
coincidence of the motion picture, pro-
jected by one machine, with the speech
supposed to proceed from the char
acters, which is produced by quite an
other. Unless the speech comes at
the right instant, the result is laugh
able rather than impressive. In the
proposed device the actual speech of
the character is transmitted by wire
less telephone to monograph whose
complex receiving mechanism is syn
chronized with the movements of the
moving picture camera.

BRITISH PREMIER OPTIMISTIC
Declares Germans Being Taught Wiz

Dundee.-''We have driven the
great army of Germany underground"
said Premier Lloyd George in a speech
here June 80. when great army is
driven to these tactics, it is the begin
ming of the end; 1t means that we are
pounding sense of inferiority into ev-
cry pore of the German military mind.
1T is good for the war, is even bet
ter for after the war. AS long as
the Prussians have an idea of superior
ity in their minds, Europe will not be
a decent place for people to live in
peace. 1t will be easier after this. =
The Prussian, said Mr.. Lloyd
George, has many virtues, but sense
of humility has never been among
them. The premier added that the
Prussian is now being taught the vir-
tue of humility with fierce and re-
lentless lash.
