Lady Spfef4l Terribly for Eight Weeks Bat Her Case Showed Wonderful Improvement
 After Taking Cardui.

Johnson City, Tenn.--Mrs. M.t R. Scott, living near this town, states: About three years ago was down in bed terrible and so weak I couldn't bear the sight of food. This condition continued for about eight weeks. l thought I was go- ing to die, and knew l must get some- thing to do me some good. I had heard all my life of Cardui and the good results obtained from it's use. So I decided to try it.
 T After about half bottle of Cardui my appetite improved, then was less nervous. l kept it up until 1 had taken five bottles-and such an im- provement! l gained flesh and now am the picture of health, due, I be- lieve, solely to the use of Carlui. am the mother of ten children and feel we'll and strong."'
 J, Cardui is mild, medicinal tonic for women. It has stood the most severe of al testt--the test om time, having been in use for over forty years. It 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.

IMPORTANT INfORMA.
ton REGARDING REG.
ISTRATlON OF BONDS

Important information concerning
the registration of Liberty Loan bonds,
as given out by the bond department
of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chi.
cago contains the following quotation
from letter from the Treasury de.
partment:
with reference to accepting sub.
scriptions for bonds to be registered
In the names Of persons giving only
initials rather than the full name, I
have to say that 1t is the intent of the
Department, not for its own sake, but
for the sake of holders of registered
bonds, to have them registered in such
manner as to enable the said holders,
or their legal representatives, to dis
pose Of them in the simplest and
readiest manner. Bonds issued to
women under their initials, or under
the initials Of their husbands, are not
readily transferable in case of the
death of the holder.
Though letters of administration
would be issued in the legal name Of
the deceased, and the bonds would be
inscribed in her name, under her in.
itials, or those Of her husband, as the
case might be. The letters of admin.
istration and the bonds would not
agree as to the name, and therefore
the administrator Of Mrs. Sarah A.
Smith, say, would have to prove that
she and Mrs. Thomas w. Smith Tor
Mrs. s. Smith) were one and the same
Ia tn xrA - n a.
character that the Department has in
sisted on receiving the legal name of
persons subscribing for registered
bonds.
"Of course, the Department cannot
refuse to issue bonds under initials II
the parties interested insist upon It,
but 1t is requested that you, in all
cases where It is possible, insist on
receiving the full names of persons
subscribing for registered bonds"
Charles KrutckcT always made a
good public record.
Ivan d. Koukoff, the we'll known
money broker and steamship agent, is
leader on the West Side. He would
make good county commissioner.
John w. Eckhart has done much to
build up the Iroquois Club. He makes
success Of everything he undertakes.

Dixon c. Williams has high honors
awaiting him at the hands of the
