Made Her Well.

Kathleen, Fla.-Mrs. Dallas Prime,
of this place, says: "After the birth
of my last child...I got very much
rundown and weakened, so much
that 1 could hardly do anything at
all. I was so awfully that
I could scarcely endure the least
noise. My condition was getting
worse all the time.
I knew I must have some relief or
I would soon be in the bed and in a
serious condition for I felt so badly
and was so nervous and weak I could
hardly live. My husband asked DR..
about my taking Cardui. He
said, its a good medicine, and good
for that trouble, so he got me 5 bot
ties. After about the second bottle I
felt greatly improved. before taking
it my limbs and hands and arms
would go to sleep. After taking it,
however, this poor circulation disap-
peared. My strength came back to
me and ! was soon on the road to
health. After the use Of about 5 bot
ties, I could do all my Homework
and attend to my six children be.

the good Cardui has done them. It

ENFORCEMENT OF NEW
CHILD LABOR LAW.

Under appointment by the Gov
ernor Craig Of Labor and Print
ing NJ. L. Shipman goes to Wash
ington to participate in confer
ence Of representative of the sew
eral states and the U. S. authori-
ties in the matter of cooperation
in the operation Of the new fed
eral child labor law, which takes
effect September 1. The confer
ence is called U. S. Commissioner
Of Labor Wilson for July 81.
Mr.. Shipman suggested to the
legislature last winter that the
state ought to take some action
looking to cooperation in this mat
ter and not leave the North Caro-
lima mills and factories to be in
spected and regulated solely by
the federal agents. But nothing
was done, this state now being
almost alone in not having sucn
cooperative machinery. Mr.. Ship
man may we'll be trusted to prop
erly represent this state at the
conference. He has a record Of
many years Of being an advocate
Of child labor regulation and Of
being friend to the minors en-
ployed in mills. But he is not a
& fanatic on that or any other
subject. AS a patriotic North
CarOliian he is the friend Of man
ufacturers Of any kind and is not
disposed to do any thing radical
that would injure single indus
try in the state and he has sense,
enough and experience enough to
know what ought to be done-an
the courage to perform any duty
with which he is charged.
The proper spirit should prevail
and if it does there is no likeli-
hood that any North Carolina
manufacturing industry will be
seriously scrippled' by the ope-
ration Of this law-not even cot
ton mill in time Of the war draft.
Because the proportion Of male
adults in cotton mills is small.

Good Commercial
Club Activities

Three million dollars more for In
land Empire wheat growers is virtu-
ally the result of sending representa-
tives from western organizations to
Washington, where they convinced
the federal authorities that this Sec
tion was entitled to basic Pacific
coast price in conformity with the
$2.20 bushel price established at Chi
cago.
Several conferences were held at
Washington, including interviews
with Food Administrator Hoover and
President Wilson, The injustice
against Pacific northwest wheat,
which would be subject to a freight
charge of 80 cents per bushel to Chi
cago, was pointed out and Mr.. Hoover
finally agreed to a price of $2.05 as
a basis for No. 1 wheat at Portland
or Puget Sound points. Estimating
the Inland Empire crop at 3O,000,-
900 bushels, this means $4,000, 900
in added money for this section.

Grants Pass For
irrigation Bonds

One of the most important steps
for the upbuilding of Josephine
county that has been taken in many
years was the adoption by the land
owners under the Grants Pass irriga-
tion district, at Thursdays election,
Of the proposal to bond the district
for the building Of the water sys-
TEN, says the Grants Pass Courier.
The vote stood 43 in favor of and
five opposed to bonding the district
for s29O,OOO.
The next move will be to complete
the investigation for determining the
accurate estimate of cost, formulat-
ing plans and preparing specifications
upon which contracts can be let, to-
gether with such data as will satisfy
the state engineer and the irrigation
securities commission in order to get
the bonds certified as a state legal
security, and to place the project in
such shape that the bonds will appeal
to bond buyers.
1t will be necessary to appeal to the
circuit court for confirmation of
the acts of the district. This appeal
will ha ct q ri ad IN tho rat,,rn nf Aftnr
ney Norton early next week.
There are included in the district
$500 acres of irrigable land, and a
gross acreage of 5000 acres, but with
a cooperative agreement with the
Gold Hill district total acreage of
10000 acres with combined bond
issue Of $99O,OOO. The estimated
cost of completing the two projects is
