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

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

NEVADA COUNTY BOY
 SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE
Somewhere in France, 2-5-18. Dear Mother and Father:-

COlnSWl6TS III TIdllCS, A-C-AO" Dear Mother and Father
 This is my first opportunity to write you for several days as have been cooped up on one of these funny little French trains for two days and nights and arrived at this place yesterday. It is a beautiful little French village centuries and cen turies old, with the ancient walls and battlements still standing from the time of the Gallic wars of Julius Caesar. The customs and people are as old as the town and it is all very interesting but not very convenient, as a bathtub, hot water and other modern conveniences are unknown. We miss them but then you know this is war.
 I can hear the distant rumbling thunder of the big guns on the front as I write this letter and have seen enough evidence of war during these last few days to talk to you about for weeks when I return. Saw one of the earlier battlefields of the war the other day and there were hun dreds of graves of soldiers of both sides along the roadway. Many hulls of houses gave mute testimony to the terrific shell fire of the battle. Have seen soldiers galore and all kinds of big guns. Am in school now for several weeks additional training.
 It is rather cold here, especially at night and it is a damp cold that goes through everything. The last two days the sun has been shining and it seems like spring and we take off our overcoats up in the day. How ever, they go back on as evening comes on. This is beautiful coun- try. It is rolling about like the country there at home, but has no big woods and almost every foot of land IS III culUlNdGlOu. ENeTy lllllS lOOhS clean and nice and orderly. Of course, most of the men are away in the army, but the women and old men and boys are carrying things right along There are no big stores here all quaint little shops. The streets are narrow and winding. Everything is just as we have read in books, but never xpected to see. l am getting along real well with my French and have had no trouble in making my wants known at the cafes and shops. You ought to hear me rattle it off.
 The school here is similar to the one we attended in the U. s. and keeps us busy all the time. Will, however, find time to write you every day or so.
 Sure will be glad when l begin to get mail from home.
 Love to all. Your boy,
 ROY HALE.

But we are not doing things In that
selfish and suicidal way. We are try
