DOWN IN BED
AND so WEAK
Lady Suffered Terribly for Eight
Weeks But Her Case Showed
Wonderful Improvement
After Taking Cardui.

johnson City, Tenn.-Mrs. NJ. r.
Scott, living near this town, states !:
about three years ago I was down in
bed terrible and so weak /
couldn't bea- the sight Of food. This
condition continued for about eight
weeks I thought / was 60
ing to die, and knew I must get some
thing to do me some good. l had
heard all my life of Cardui and the
good results obtained from its use.
So I decided to try it.
After about a half bottle Of Cardui
my appetite improved, then was less
nervous. I kept it up until l had
taken five bottles-and such an i'm
provementl I gained flesh and now
am the picture Of health, due, | be-
lieye, solely to the use of Cardui. I
am the mother of ten children and
feel well and sttng."
Cardul is mild, medicinal tonic
for women. 1t has stood the most
severe Of all tests-the test of time,
having been in use for over forty
years. 1t is composed of purely veg
etable ingredients, which have been
found to help build up the vitality,
tone up the nerves, and strengthen
the womanly constitution.
TRY Cardui.-Ady.

To Get Bid Of Ants.

Powdered boraS sprinkled around
the infested places will eXtermlnate
both red and black ants. Powdered
cloves are said to drive them awa;.
Another plan is to grease a plate with
lard and set it where these insects
abound They prefer lard to anything
else, and will forsake sugar for it..
Place few sticks around the plate for
the ants to climb up on. Occasionally
turn the plate bottom side up over the
FIRE, and the ants win fall in with the
melted lard. Or, use a small amount
OF oil of turpentlne, run into the
cracks with an ordinary sewing ma.

1000 e. COAL PROFITS

indianapolis Ind, Nov 24-The

secretary OF the treasury. that coal

be an interesting revelation TO those
persons who have been wondering
about the present coal price sItua-
tion,'' said Ellis Searies, editor of
the United Mine Workers journal
tonight. Continuing. he said:
Evidently McAdso knows what
he's talking about. for he had ACCESS
10 the income tax returns made by
coal operators. Ever since the wage
controversy started the miners have
insisted that the operators could
grant a substantial increase 10 the
miners out of their profits without
increasing the price of coal to the
consumer. We have also said thar
the operators have been making
more money during the las, two or
three years than they ever made be-
fore in their lives while the miners
continued 70 work for less than liv-
ing wages. And now McAdoo makes
the showing even stronger than the
miners ever did The trouble with
the operators all along has been that
they did not propose to do anything
that would cut into their enormous
profits"

are fervent patriots. The majority OF
them are sincere democrats, ready to

that two of them are members of my
