COULD NOT HOLD OUT LONGER Virginia Lady Realized She Couldn't Stay Nervous, Weak, Pale, and Hold Out Much Longer. Cardui Helped
 Her.

Dublin, Va.-Mrs. Sallie Hughett, of Route 2, this place, recently relates her interesting experience in recover ing her health, saying: When .. came on was in very bad condition and nothing the doctor gave me did me any good. Some say you have to let this take it's course but I knew there ought to be something to give relief. was nervous, weak and pale. couldn't eat or sleep to do any good, and felt I couldn't stand this very nng.
 q heard and read of Cardui, and how it had benefited other women in the same condition, so decided to use 1t myself. After my first bottle, I felt better, so of course kept it up, and it did the work.
 Tt helped me as nothing else did. ! began to pick up right away. 1 ate and slept and could rest. 1 knew was getting better. 1 kept it up and 1t did wonders for me-"
 Thousands of women, suffering as this Virginia lady did, have used Car dui with equally happy results, and voluntarily relate their experiences SO that others, troubled with disorders common among women, may learn to take Cardui.

Well. if that doesn't beat all things! exclaimed Imogene. T see by the paper that Atlantic City is going to import a lot of chorus girls, prize fighters and baseball players in order to make the place attractive. They say the town has been reformed to death."
 "They are dead right" said Andrew. Atlantic City is a show place. All sea- side resorts are exactly the same as musical comedies. They may pretend to appeal to some one thing or another, but the truth is that inherent In every human being, man or woman, is desire to be wicked.
 Musical comedies are patronized ai- most wholly because of the wickedness and daring of the costumes worn by the ladies of the chorus, and what is true of them is also true of seaside resorts.
 'Take Atlantic City for the Atlantic coast and Long Beach for the Pacific, and it is not~the water which appeals to the vast crowds of pleasure seekers, but the wicked costumes of the people who loaf on the sands the same as the merry, merry chorus of a musical comedy.
 The moment the citizens of Atlantic City or any other seasice resort begin to try to reform it they are taking the bread and butter out of their own mouths.
 You or I or the parson or the biggest sport in town would never go to see the Fcllies' if every woman in the show wore street costume. It IS also true that you or I or the parson or the sport would never go to Atlantic City if they wore chautauqua circuit bathing suits
 "The chorus girl dresses the picture at seaside resort just the same as she does at the musical show and the same receding chinned Johnnie who IS spend- ing papa s money on her in the winter

in the city will follow her to the sea- short in the summer and shoot his last rickle for a chance to stroll up the sands with her.
 What is true of the chorus girl is also true of the prize fighter ana the baseball player. Just remember that the men are not the only ones to be amused at the seashore All through the week when dad is up in town trying to get a dollar by the windpipe and choke 1t into submission, mother ana the girls are down at the beach trying to find something to amuse them.
 ''The girls will slip out while mamma takes her afternoon nay and go down on the pier and there maybe meet and be introduced to prize fighter or base ball player and have one dance with him and be happy for the rest of her life be- cause in shaking a foot with this public character she will feel that she has been very, very wicked and will watch the sporting page for the rest of her life for mention of his name
 And after all, why not? The chorus girl is really a perfectly harmless little creature who at home occupies one room flat, and gets her breakfast on an oil stove and is willing to allow those fool boys to bask in her smiles and shine in her reflected glory provided he wal buy her a decent dinner or lunch. ''The average prize fighter or baseball player is drawing down a decent little salary, or at least free board and lodging for allowing his name and lace to add to the attractiveness of a pavilion or hotel
 Those Atlantic City people may be a little advanced in their ideas, but they surely know how to get the coin. 'fT3V tbe way it may be little early to plan for the summer, but how would you like to spend our vacation at Atlantic City next summer?"
 q wouldn't like it at all" said Imo- gene emphatically.
