 T was not able to do anything until I took Cardui. I took three bottles in all, and it surely cured me of those awful headaches. That has been three years ago, and know the cure is per manent, for I have never had any headache since taking Cardui- Nothing relieved me until took Cardui. It did wonders for me. Three bottles of it did more for me than all the medicine or doctors treatments. or baths I ever took

A cable message received here by her owners, the American Star Line. and dispatches from London, told of tho apparent safety of all officers and crew. 27 of whom have been landed.

The Sian of Indian Prosperity.

The ownership of a motorcar may not always be safe index of material prosperity, but in the case of John Lightfoot of Arizona, ownership of car may at least be taken as proof that the blanket Indian can succeed at dry farming.

Chicago-Harry Pratt Judson. au- thority on international law, and president of the University of Chica- go, declared that the sinking of the City of Memphis was the strongest kind of an overt act. He said:
 Aside from the itemized facts there are only two situations to be considered in this case:
 First, if the ship was sunk with out search. Such action without de- bate constitutes an overt act, flag rant violation of international law
 Second. if the ship was first searched and then sunk The facts in the case state that the ship was on the voyage over was stopped, search ed and permitted to proceed It's status was thus already clearly es- tablishet by Germany. If on the re- turn voyage the ship had been search ed before it's sinking, the log would have necessarily proved it's right on Germany's own judgment to proceed unmolested. Then in this case, too. the sinking was an overt aet-equal- ly violation of the law
 "It would seem, however, without any debate whatever, that the sinking of an American ship flying the Amer icar flag and bound with cargo for an American port-searched or not searched, warned or not warned-was irrefutably violation of internation- al law.
 "The circumstances are unique But whatever they are finally established to be. the facts as they stand seem to allow for no escape from the con clusion that Germany has committed an overt act
