OF the ''Cuddle Up" company. this
weeks attraction at the (iayety
Theater. Miss Quinn is qualified to
speak, for she was among the first
women ever to undertake flight In

The little musical comedy star. who
| is yenturing into burlesque for the
| first time this year, was one OF the
principals In an English revue dur.
ing the years 1918 and 1913. she
played In London a bit but also spent
some time at the military and prison
camps. doing her best to bring en-
tertsinmsnt and cheer to the allied
troops. ..
While at an air station on the
Humber river she consented one fine
day to make short flight in an
airship. Listen to her description
Of its thrills:
Our ride was wonderful, fast
and exciting. but 1t was dangerous
and was glad when It was over.
A heavy wild caught US as the ship
wAs about 1000 feet up. and my
heart stopped beating as the huge
ship tilted strongly and seemed
to roll over. ..
"The little passenger baskets were
slung from side TO side like shells
and wss, almost hurled out of the
basket more than once. A Zeppelin
might be all right for peacetime
excursions. II certainly Is not the
best thing imaginable in war. How
a soldier could accurately throw
bombs from such comparatively
slow moving vessel can't see.
"The one scatter. In which I also
rode while overseas, are vastly diff
ferent. You can scoot through the
air, don't seem to notice distance
and you are not pulled and hurled

fighting in the air than on land and
water combined. q.

Miss Quinn ought TO know, for she
has ridden in practically every type
OF airship known. Her experienc; In
the dirigible was recalled by the re-
cent IRA disaster in England, In
which American and British airmen
lost their lives.
Miss Quinn Is enjoying her fifth

Alabama Lady Wa. Sick For Three

Own Story Of Recovery.

Paint Rock, Ala.--Mrs. G. M. Stegall,
Of near here, recently related the fol-
lowing interesting account Of her re-
covery: II was in weakened con.
dition. I was sick three years in bed.
suffering great deal of pain, weak.
nervous, depressed. I was so weak.
I couldn't walk across the floor; just
had to lay and my little ones do the
work. I was almost dead. I tried
every thing heard of, and number of
doctors. Still I didn't get any relief
I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I
believe if I hadn't heard of and taken
Cardui I would have died. I bought
six bottles, after a neighbor told me
what it did for her.
II began to eat and sleep, began to
gain my strength and am now well
and strong. I haven't had any trou-
BILE since -. sure can testify to the
good that Cardui did me. don't
think there is a better tonic made
and / believe it saved my life"
For over 40 years, thousands of Wo-
men have used Cardui successfully.
in the treatment Of many womanly
ailments.
If you suffer as these women did,
take Cardui. 1t may help you, too.
