Lady Tells What Cardui Did for Her and What It Will Do for
 Suffering Women.

Deepwater, Texas.-"I think Cardui is indeed wonderful medicine,' says Mrs. Minnie Starnes, of this town. Tn 1905. I broke down in health sud denly suffered agony. Had bearing down pains also my back and limbs and hips. Sometimes I was in bed all the time and again was just able to be up. suffered most severely at .. . and would be confined to my bed four or five days.
 "Nothing did ever did me any good until l took Cardui, but I suffered two years this way before I took Cardui. One day my husband -. saw the Cardui advertisement. He got me a bottle, I began taking it and next month I never felt any pain at all, did all my work without any trouble. ,"
 Mrs. Starnes says she did not take any more Cardui then until 19US, when she took four bottles. with excellent results. She concludes her statement with the following: T would advise all expectant mothers to give Cardu a trial. It will relieve all anxiety and fear as is natural for them to have. know, for l had the experience my self"
 Judging from the experiences of so many thousands of other women, you can depend on Cardui to surely help you, if you suffer from any of the complaints so common to women.

 City Manaaers Proved.

There are now 10 municipal officials in the United States who are styled "city managers" under the new com mission-manager form of government. They are the professional chief eXecu- tives of their respective municipalities, each with appointive power over the city's entire administrative establish ment. They are not popuarly elected, but hired for reason of fitness and for an indefinite tenure by small elected commission of five local men. Gen erally speaking, three years of trial i'll variety of towns have proved that the new plan furnishes battle-ground for democracy that makes the un- mobilized citizenry unusually effective while the opportunity for expert ad- ministration which it offers is usually grasped.

FLOWER HOLDERS IN WALL
Unusual ornamentaton That Improves the Looks of Surroundings of
 House in California.

Flower containers, which are unusu- al in appearance and striking because of the contrast which they present to their surroundings, have been built in to the center of each of three sections of a smooth brick wall in front of a Los Angeles residence. The wall is sur mounted by an ornamental iron fence except at the points where the flower holders stand. Each container consists of rough, irregular masses resembling sIag, which are cemented together into a symmetrical shape; each holder stands about three and one-half feet high. is Il foot or a little more ill diameter at the base, and three feet wide at the top.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Mans Duty to His Community.

The man who makes money in a community has duty to perform to that community. It may be that he has made his money by his superior business ability, and that he would have done as well anywhere. That does not alter the case. If his gifts are great his responsibility is equally as great. No man was placed on earth for the sole purpose of making money, and the man who has this as his ideal had better never have been born. IL is not an act of charity, but the per formanee of q simple duty, for the man who has made money 10 pass q little of it on for the benefit of the community, even though he never ex- poets to see dollar of his contribution back.-New Canaan (Conn.l AdYer- tiser.

Oil From Fruit Stone Kernels.

Germany is preparing to take steps toward relieving her shortage of oils and fats by extracting an oil from tHp kernels of fruit stones, such as the pits of the plumb and the cherry both of which grow freely there The pfts ar boiled in a calcium chloride solu- tion, which separates the kernel from Its shell. The oil is expressed from the kernel. The chief difficulty lies in the fact that the kernels of such fruits. especially the peach. contain minute quantities of hydroeyanie acid, some times called oil of bitter almonds. This is extremely poisonous, but spe= eial methods have resulted in it's pres ence being reduced 10 a mere negli- gble trace, according to the reports.

Uric cActd!

Ever since the discovery of Scheeie m 1775 that uric acid was found within the body-most eminent physicians agree that rheumatism is caused by 1t; also many distressing symptoms as 1asa neaa- ache, pain in back, stomach dis'resS' swollen eetSnd ankles, gout, etc.
 It was Dr. 3ierce of the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, NY, who discovered new agent called Anuric, harmless remedy that if taken before meals will carry oh the uric acid from the system and m this way the pains and aches, the creaky joints and all the distressing symptoms of rheumatism and other maladies ois- appear. You can easily prove this your self, by obtaining Anuric at almost any drug store, or send Dr. Pierce loc. ioI trial package. Try it and be convineea .:e'a that Anuric is many times more ac.ls. than lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot water melts sugar.
