"A SPLENDID TONIC !"
Says Hixson Lady Who, On Doc
tors Advice, Took Cardui
And Is Now Well.

Hixson, Tenn-"About 10 years ago
was. -" says Mrs. ]. B. Gadd, of
this place. 81 suffered with a 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, l was stronger
and better, but the pain was still
there.
at first let it 90, but began to get
weak and in rundown condition.
so decided to try some more Cardui,
which / did.
This last Cardui which l took made
me much better, in fact, cured me. 1t
has been a number Of years, still !
have no return Of this trouble.
! feel it was Cardui that cured me,
and ! recommend it as splendid fe-
male tonic"
Don't allow yourself to become
weak and rundown from womanly
troubles. Take Cardui 1t should sure
ly help you, as it has so many thou
sands of other women in the past 40
years. Headache, backache, sideache,
nervousness, sleep1essness, tired-out
feeling, are all signs of womanly trou-
BILE. Other women get relief by taking
CarduL Why not you? All druggists.

Wonderful Stuff!
Lift Out Your COrnS!
Apply Few Drops Then Lift Corns
or Calluses OFF With Fingers
No Pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes will
loosen right up and lift out, without
a particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called Freezone and is
a compound Of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of Freezone, which will cost
but a trife, but is sufficient to rid
ones feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug doesn't eat out the corns
or ealluses bat shriVels them with
out even irritating the surrounding
skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no
soreness or smarting when applying
it or afterwards. If your druggist
don't have Freezone have him order
it for you. (advtD

Little Rock, July 31.-The time hon
ored 15-cent shave is threatened by
the war 1t is announced that Little
Rock BARRIERS on Sept. l will add 5
cents to every charge they are now
naking-shaves will be 20 cents with
5 cents added for shaving the neck
hair cuts will be 40 cents, and sham
poos So cents for the ordinary kind
and more in proportion for the fancy
variety Whether the barber shop
10-cent shine" is to be advanced is
not announced, but it is probable that
it will. The BARRIERS explain that
they must make the advance in price,
as the cost of all material used by
them has greatly increased Razors
that cost $3.50 before the war, now
cost $3.50, and shaving soap has adj
vanced from 10 cents to so cents, and
everything else in proportion. The in
crease will probably add largely to
the business of the safety razor man.

buildings are being erected at the rate
Of fifteen day, and there nov 300

Camp Pike was combination Of field
and forest month ago, now it is a
thriving city. There are to be 100
buildings, including the stables, and
they will cover 1900 acres There are
5000 acres in the camp, and the gov
eminent has a war time lease on
10, 900 acres adjoining. The buildings
viii accommodate 1888 men, and the
whole camp will cost in the neigh
borhood of 100000. There are
now about $500 carpenters and eth
er laborers employed on the grounds,
with about 1900 others, besides the
soldiers, making very considerable
city The transportation problem is
the biggest one nov confronting the
camp. The roads are not what they
should be, but they are to be rebuilt,
improved and extended at once, and
1t least two highways with asphalt
surface will connect the camp with the
city. Jitneys are doing a big bust

such a vogue for several years is
rapidly going into the discard.
There are still some good companies

CARNATIONS that could hardly pass

possible exertion. Many Of them have
a following Of gamblers and red-hght

Fate plays some hard pranks with
young men these days when the best
and bravest are being called upon to
fight in foreign lands under the Stars
and Stripes A certain young nan
of Eastern Arkansas entered the first
officers training camp in Little Rock
with high hopes. His father prom
ised that he would give him $4,000 if
he got a captains commission, $4,000
if he got first lieutenant's commits
sion, and $4,000 for second. He
worked hard and honestly, but at the
last was discharged for failure to
come up to some slight physical re-
quirement Then came the draft, and
his number was the twentieth drawn
Now he is wondering if the examina-
ton for soldiers in the ranks is as
strict as it is for officers.
