6 Tells How Cardui Helped
r@r
Her Get Well

's BATEsBURG, s. C.-In telling
how she found relief from troubles
that had caused her much sufferings
Mrs. E. e. oswald, Of this placa-
says: Each month would hagin
to suffer with my back and h~@a
NY limbs would ache and I would
chill. I wouldn't be able to stay up,
no matter what I wanted to do, or
Where I wanted to go. My people
tried giving me different medicines
and teas and tonics. yet didn't get
any better.
"Some one told me of Gardui, and
I began to take it. I noticed Il
helped me. I kept it up. After
few months didn't have any trou-
bic. For about six months I used
it, ,before
ri found I was all right, and from
that day to this have never had any
trouble at this time. 1 have taken
it since, a bottle or two in the win
tere especially when I have been ex-
posed, and would take cold. for I
consider it the best thing woman
can take to tone UP the system, keep
off nervousness, and increase the ap-
petite. I certainly know 1T has been
of great benefit to me-"
{. II you are weak, nervous, or suf-
fer from woman1y troubles such as
Mrs, oswald mentions, take Carduis
the Woman's Tonic.
yAH good druggists sell Cardui.--.

Exterminate the BMer

A unique method has been adopted
by the department of agriculture to
fight the dangerous little insect
known as the moth borer which is
working such havoc with our sugar
entomology has sent its experts TO
Cuba to import a bug or parasite
which lives upon the moth borer.
Two shipments Of these parasites
have been brought from Cuba and
an attempt is being made to propa-
gate them in large numbers in
Louisiana An immense force of
these parasites must be raised and
modified in order to war effectively
against the countless moth borers
which are now attacking our sugar
crop. but the scientists are confident
of ultimate victory over the borers.

your wife back and perhaps by
showing her kindness and a little
affection she will be sorry for
her leaving" and no doubt will
make you a getter wife. Do this;
you will perhaps save her soul.
There are many noble Christian
= women, tied to low beastial men
who go on year in and year out
doing their duty, and keeping
the. VOW they made to their
Maker, and if men would some
times bear little, they would at
least be doing their duty. So I
ask you to give her another trial,
and see If she will not do better.
If you then find it useless, then
it's better to separate.
Dear Miss Meredith: I am coming
to you for advice. I am eighteen. Am
I old enough to have sweethearts !:
/ am going with several boys, but
only care for one. We have been cor
responding for year and he calls
about once a month, as he lives a
good distance from my home. He has
never told me that he loves me, but
he has never broke a date and al
ways does what he says he will. Do
goes with me for pastine? I love
him dearly.
How long should 1 wear my
dresses, and am l old enough to wear
high-heeled slippers? Please print
this, as am very anxious to know
'TOT."
When I say girl is too young
to marry at eighteen, do not
mean she has to be old as ''Noah"
to have beaNs. 1 am positive you
are old enough to have sweet
hearts. also think the young
man you have mentioned is in
love with you, if he does all that
you say. Dresses are shorter
this season.; some of them are
twelve inches from the floor
High heels are pretty and look
well with pretty frocks. But the
low heel is the most sensible ana
women are wearing low-heel
shoes more than ever before.
I am coming to you for a little
advice. Is there any place in At
lanta that one can have kid shoes
dyed? 1 have "a nice pair and would
like very much to change the color
And what will be the cost? Thank
ing you for advice.
BLUE-EYED DAISY.
There are many shoe repairing
places in Atlanta and some OF
theme dye shoes successfully.
You might drop postal or letter
with self-addressed envelope, to
the Shoe Renury, 4 Auburn ave-
nue., Atlanta, and find out If they
take "out-of-town" orders. They
do all sorts of shoe repairing.

few to compare with them else

Our young men are energetic,
